Morning, everyone! Cold again, isn't it?
Well, yesterday morning was - er - interesting. After a bad day on Tuesday with the old back, I started taking the pain killers first thing.
I had the first part of my dental implant surgery from eleven onward so at ten thirty I took two co-codamol. They are very strong and I avoid them because of their addictive qualities but the appointment was an hour and I just dreaded it with a hurty back.
They worked, of course, and I was lucky because the whole procedure took around twenty minutes, very straight forward and trouble free (said Tony Clough). Also, lying pretty much flat is the most comfortable position for me at the moment.
I now have a course of penicillin to take so the bunging up side effects of the co-codamol should be balanced by the - er - loosening side effects of the penicillin. I can hope! 😉
I remembered to change one of my standing orders that go into savings and now I am back to saving around 25% of income. I can always change it again, should it be necessary, but it should be OK if I am careful.
Today, Chris is over, hopefully, for coffee and then this afternoon I am off into London to see The Nutcracker. At the moment, I am back on ibuprofen but I am taking some co-codamol with me - any increase in discomfort and I will take them.
On Tuesday, I thought I would not be able to go and was pretty upset as I hade been so looking forward to it but now I'm going to go and hope the meds do the necessary.
Talking of trips, the new newsletter has come through and I have booked three more - I'm going to the Knit and Stitch thing at Ally Pally again as I enjoyed it so very much, I am going to Rye for a day and I've also booked a trip into London in December for some time at Harrods and then on to the RAH for carols.
And that's about it really. After all the fun and colour of Christmas, things have settled again and ;ife goes on.
Have a great day, everyone. All the best xx
Oh I do envy you the trip to RAH for carols in December. When in London last year we stayed very near RAH and walked to Harrods - as tourists always do:). Margaret from New Zealand
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a very touristy thing to do but Brits enjoy it too. I wouldn't want a trip just to Harrods but a few hours there to see the decorations and then carols at the RHS sounds fantastic. xx
DeleteGoodness you certainly are planning ahead!
ReplyDeleteLOL - the thing is, these trips get booked up very quickly. I bet the carols trip is already full. Some will pull out but now that Jan and Ray want a non returnable deposit, that should happen less.
DeleteIt's nice to have happy plans, isn't it? xx
Glad the tooth procedure hasn’t stopped your trip. Well done on booking the three trips-my friend and I are going to the Knitting and Stitches Show/ Quilting Show in March at SEC Glasgow. Enjoy your trip and remember to drink plenty with your painkillers. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt would have been the back rather than the jaw but I'm feeling increasingly better as the day passes so that's good. Almost ready now, my travel bag is loaded up and I have my meal packed and in the travel bag. Now I can chill for a while.
DeleteThese knit and stitch shows are lovely, aren't they? I'm sure you will enjoy yours in March. xx
Great plans for some wonderful outings. I am glad that the pain meds are working on your back. Enjoy the Nutcracker.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The Nutcracker is one of my favourite ballets, I was 9 the first time I saw it at Sadlers Wells. Hope you don't need the co-codamol too much for your trip. I had the dentist too, an intensive clean as to my shame hadn't been for years, but no fillings and he was so nice and gentle (had a very bad dental experience years ago), back in 6 months. Hugs Xx
