Pompey Yid
Vital Champions League
Afternoon all, esp you Walt, you finally got there then, had a check up, pretty good news really, ok Arthritis is not that good, but it happens to most of us oldies, but hey! a bit of light exercise and pain killers if required, so not a bad trip to the WM eh!Good morning all , another fine start to the day .
So I’ve not done any damage to the ACL , Ive damaged the soft tissues.
X-rays showed only historic arthritis problems , nothing new . All the fuzzy edges on the photo showed that my Patella and Tibia have arthritis , which is what I’ve upset .
I said I’ve never had Arthritis in my knees . She said everyone over the age of twenty five has arthritis in their joints .
Who knew …………… I ve just upset mine ……… well I would , wouldn’t I !
So it’s light exercise , a series of exercises designed to get me back to be in contention for the latter part of the season , pain killers and if it’s no better in a month , physio . ……. That will be a larf !
The allotment will take a back seat for a while .
You see some poor souls in these Minor Injury Units , it took me back a few years . People with their kids , still in football
shirts and shorts, ……a young woman , limping around , still carrying her hockey stick ,…..somebody else sat there …. blood on her face from a head wound . . Another old bloke , like me , who had stubbed his Smokey Joes and thought he had broken two of them . ……Me and me chips and peas . …..Didn’t we have a laugh .
The biggest poster on the wall , the ones you read over and over as you sit there , waiting ………...was the one that warned you that you still had to pay your car parking fees .
You have to judge how long you are going to be , before you go in to the hospital, and put enough money in the machine to cover your time .
Yeah , of course …. At a pound an hour . Pathetic isn’t it .
I put a pound in , as a goodwill gesture , and was willing to argue my case later , …. I was there two and a half hours but nobody had put a parking sticker on my car .
If I hadn't got a bad knee I would have given a hop skip and jump in celebration at getting away with it .
I’m still chuffed now . !
I’m not sure what you do if you are under the X-ray machine as your time runs out on the car park ticket .
They have a machine there now where you have to put your number plate details in before you pay so that you can’t give your ticket to somebody else , if you have paid for longer than you stayed .
It prints your registration details bigger that the amount you have paid .
I had to limp back to my car , which didn’t do my knee any good , because I couldn’t remember mine ….. I knew the first bit , the two letters and the two numbers which details the area you live in and how old the car is , …..but I couldn’t remember the last three letters.
I had the same problem in Tesco's the other week .
Great getting old ennit …. I can remember the number plates of the second car I ever had , 55 years ago , Ford Consul …2453 MC … then my third car , Vauxhall 368 XMF.
Can’t remember my first car though , it was an A35 van , absolute death trap. No insurance , Tax or anything . Those were the days .
So I suppose I’ve got a result with my knee , no operation , just exercise and pain killers to stop me limping , because that’s important , apparently . Cos if you limp you put pressure on other bits that don’t hurt at the moment . Who knew ?
I will stop bleating on about my knee now . … and hospitals .. and car parks … kin ell , I’m getting old ….. Hod ! I know ….. I am old .
look after each other.
Am off in a mo to do my Sunday chores, wildies, aviary, general back garden check out, then indoors get the Sunday dinner on, Pork n roasties today, not forgetting the veg then a bottle or two of London Pride with tv on, sit n wait for our game today.
Ta Ta all, hope you all have a great rest of day, and enjoy the game this after'.
Cheers all. Come On You Spurs.
