Progress is...

Poor thing. I hope you didn't scare too many people on your way home dribbling 🤣 (I used to go to a specialist in London and the trip home with a numb face, dribbling bloody saliva was always a bit surreal).

themadvix

Ouch (both to mouth and finances!)!

EssexHebridean

Definitely ouch all round!

Ouch! Hope it settles down and isn't too painful when it wears off.

I now have The Weeknd ear worming, 'but I love it' so that is a good thing.

I hope you feel better soon.

@beanielou & @greenbee & @themadvix & @EssexHebridean & @redofromstart & @Cherryfudge - thank you for your sympathies ladies - much appreciated!

Still feeling really rough so not attempting much today. The work on my tooth aggrivated a nerve which in turn triggered functional dystonia in my legs in arms - not a fun 20 hours tbh! - now just left with a migraine - in fact the toothache is in the background atm!

I spent much of yesterday afternoon sleeping in our health & wellness room at the office in the comfiest chair with my legs up! A good solid two hours, then felt well enough to commute home so left early - good thing too as Waterloo station was CHAOS - and I had to make avail of the priority services assistance not only to find and board my train but to then be switched to another train. They had some excellent staff on yesterday and I was well impressed with how wonderful they were, not just to me but with the three others who were on my route and needed considerably more assistance than I did when the train we were on suddenly was pulled out of service before going anywhere! Got in to my town by shortly after 7pm, but at least I was sitting comfortably in an aircon carriage for most of the delay!

Have to say I was sooooooo happy to be home in my bed yesterday that getting out of it this morning was not a priority!

Ouch and absolute sympathy - also visited dentist yesterday, nerve aggravated, sinus pain and headaches here too. Sending love.

This morning was amusing - the PG's went out and within 10 mins both my other neighbour and myself were outside in the front of the house. She was washing he car & I was pruning and tidying the plants in the front planter. We had a good natter and agreed that we both definately feel more comfortable tending to our own homes when they are out of the house!

So my heritage climbing rose has had it's autumn prune, all the remaining leaves from assorted bulbs have been cut back, the quince bush has had it's 1/3 prune despite the wicked thorns and the middle flowering bush has been pruned back far enough that we can now see out of the front window again! It was momentous as it's been 4 years since I've been able to climb up onto the retaining wall planter and do the whole thing in one go!

The resaon I've been able to climb up is physio, physio and lots of physio! This week the physiotherapist gave me a new and extrodinarily hard new set of exercises for the leg that was affected by the hemiplegia. There were lots of tears just to get through one set of reps each day but I've done 5 of the 7 days and found that today was so much easier than earlier in the week, and unlike the earlier goes, I didn't break a sweat! So tomorrow will be on to 2 sets of reps for the week - I'm dreading it but am going to keep in mind that today I pruned my front planter without having to 'pay the nice man' to do it!

Cherryfudge

Wow, very well done for sticking to the physio even if it was torture. It's clearly doing what it says on the tin!

That'sbrilliant news on the physio, well done for sticking with it through the tears! Glad you got your roses pruned. Stupid PG neighbours though - why are people like that?!
