Hi Andrew Get Well soon :wave: I know how it feels to be stuck looking at "things to be done" and unable to get on with them I'm on my third week with a crock knee, but have been able to get to see a doc get an MRI and have a physio appointment tomorrow, I am not going to let them do much until the MRI report arrives John |

Thanks chaps for all the good wishes I'm touched (people have been saying that I'm touched for years!) John I hope that gets sorted soon - as you say extremely frustrating having things needed doing but your body won't co-operate. Well I don't believe in miracles, but I had one yesterday (*) and I can now stand without screaming pain, so long as I limit the time that I am 'up' and this has allowed be to do a couple of minor jobs to at least keep a bit of forwards momentum. Firstly I did a bit of carpentry and fitted a ball catch on the double doors between my main workshop and welding shop - been meaning to do it for years and had ordered the catch last week. They used to blow open and bang if not bolted and were quite an annoyance. Having found that my 'new body' coped with that I mounted up the final 125 amp female socket where the SWA cable will terminate - only four 8 mm holes through an RSJ but at least it's done now and makes visualising the cable run easier. Having done this it confirmed me in the belief that the input socket on the Furnace Driver should be rotated 90 degrees to keep it's umbilical cord shorter and out of the way of the pipe/cables that go to the furnace bodies. All little things but at least they are done. (* my miracle - I'd spent a hopeless night racked in pain, only manged to get downstairs by hauling myself inch by inch prone on the floor to a chair in our 'snug' and was there for a while when nature called. Trying to walk I got about four foot before having to fling myself chest down onto a 'pouffe' that my wife uses as a foot stool and slid it towards the 'facilities' breast stroke fashion with me on it. Having 'done' I got up cringing in anticipation, but ,no pain - hang on I'm upright what the heck has happened? Since then although I get a bit of pain if up for more than about 5 minutes the agony has gone. I can only assume that throwing myself horizontal onto the pouffe bent me in a way that released whatever nerve was trapped.) |

I have a heart warming story about back pain. I used to live on the Isle of Wight and one friday I was on the train arriving at Lymington to catch the last ferry that day to Yarmouth. As I got off the train my back seized up and all I could do was cling onto a bollard and watch the boat sail away. To my amazement it did not move and I was eventually able to hobble on board. Thank you to the captain who must have seen me from the bridge. If the boat had sailed it would have taken me at least three hours to travel back to Portsmouth and catch another ferry. |

Good news Andrew! Glad to hear your Pouffe gymnastics seems to have fixed the problem, but light duties for the next few days please! Phil |

A similar thing happened to my stepson a couple of weeks ago - he was hobbling about with a very sore back. at work he hopped over a low fence and when he landed all his pain disappeared in an instant. Been right as rain ever since. I'm glad you're feeling batter Andrew. I don't suffer back problems but on the rare occasion when I do something silly and give myself a twinge it tells me how lucky I am. |
