Just before Christmas I pulled a muscle in my groin and have been rather crippled walking ever since.
I have to have x-rays and an ultrasound to try and find out the problem but of course, everything has been closed for Christmas and the New Year and I can't get an appointment until the 9 January.
I am still getting out and about, just rather slowly.
I had to have new shock absorbers on my car just before Christmas too and David reckons, I need new shock absorbers on me too.
What a lovely find and capture and so sorry it represents your need of TLC at the moment ! but being the Festive Season investigation and help has to wait!! - Just take care and hope it will right itself soon !
Hopefully your "shock absorber" problem is gradually improving and you may be a bit better by the 9th. The old boat is pretty cool as a photographic opportunity. :)
The boat is certainly photogenic but not seaworthy. Great find.
Hope you’re soon feeling better. The walking is probably good for you just don’t overdo.
It looks like someone mows around it!
Hope you soon improve, Babs as it sounds excruciating. Ray has had a bout of ill health and has to have his pacemaker checked. He is on a waiting list 35 weeks long!!!
That boat is full of character! You sound a bit like me Babs! Cathy said I should have had a soft tissue mri scan. Hope we get to the bottom of our ailments!
@quietpurplehaze Oh dear Hazel how awful. Poor Ray, fancy having to wait 35 weeks so far to be seen. At least I saw the doctor quick enough, it is just the imaging people where I have to wait to see. I should be able to get back to my doctor a couple of days after the xrays etc though so hopefully things will improve then.
Hope Ray gets an appointment soon, it must be so worrying.
@happypat Oh dear Pat, it is a bugger getting older isn't it. Maybe you need shock absorbers and a grease and oil change too ha ha I guess we will both have to give up the pole dancing.
Babs, Ray has now got a private appointment with a cardiac consultant this next week so we hope for some answers soon. The test for which there is the waiting list of 35 weeks, takes about 10 mins. This is the state of the NHS now.
I think there are a lot of people who completely understand how you feel! And although they may not have the same issue, they also have had to wait around the holidays to see a doctor. Great shot!
@quietpurplehaze good to hear he is being seen at last. Our health system isn't as bad at the NHS but I suspect it could eventually head that way one day
It's pretty dire now not currently helped by the junior doctors' strike at a busy winter time of year. In a bit when things are sorted here I'll be in touch with you by email Babs.

Got the ultrasound appointment next week and hopefully they will discover what is causing the problem. New shock absorbers and a grease and oil change and I will be as good as new. If only it was that easy. ha ha.
