Thanks. She's fine now. Half a Piriton and some cheese worked wonders

Ha ha, very good.

Massive rush this morning ended in me gashing my head on some scaffolding and going to hospital and getting 5 staples to close the wound.

Rush to the airport and my flight to Dublin is delayed for 2 hours.

Bastards.

Hugely disproportionate and obsequious news coverage of the anniversary of the Queen's passing; obviously on the BBC this includes Nicholas Witchell in full-on knighthood-chasing insufferable sycophant mode.

So that's my grump of the day and I've only been up for 20 minutes.

We should start a c@nt of the day for people like him.

He's a cunt all year round..

This morning I used four disposable daily contact lenses on the task of getting two of them into my eyes. No idea where two of them went. Possibly round the back of my eyeballs or something.

Not sure whether this is grumpy thread material yet.
After the epidural adventure some 6 weeks ago I have not noted any difference. Not enough anyway. But pain is a tricky thing, it varies from day to day so much that quantifying it is next to impossible.

But in the search for some relief the hospital hooked me up with a TENS. Small device with 2 electrodes on wired pads that I stick on my back and arm that send a pulse and supposedly interrupts the pain signal. Should give results in a day or ten.
Had this on since Friday and it really takes a lot of getting used to.
I have an app that seemingly drops out when someone calls me or if the connection via Bluetooth us temporarily interrupted, but overall it seems to function OK.
3 x 2 hours a day for now.

But on the fence at the moment. Let's see if it works.
If it works, hurray. Downside:it's a permanent thing

My mum used a tens machine for a little while, maybe 5 years ago.  She now just drops 1 tramadol and one little morphine pill per day.  She's tremendously stoic for an 83 year old, I've never ever heard her complain about her pain or lack of mobility and yet her hands and feet are quite twisted and her movements are difficult...

I hope you get better soon, Mr Nop..

I applaud her (do tell her that!) , and she is right: complaining never helps. But venting sometimes does so I do just that every now and then 

The optometrist at Vision Express got me to try no less than three different pairs of contact lenses, yesterday. My eyes feel like they've been bead-blasted this morning.
