28 November 2011 – Back to work

Today was CJ’s birthday and also the day I had to return to work. Thankfully it’s been arranged for me to do rehabilitation hours so it wasn’t a full ten hour shift but still, I wasn’t looking forward to it.

18 November 2011 – treadmill experiment

Commando is out for a run and he’s going to football with CJ and Bard this afternoon. Last night was the Mad House Excellence Awards. I didn’t go obviously but I did get a text from my friend Panda to tell me my team won team of the year. Well done us. I hope they all had a couple of drinks for me. What am I saying. I know they did.

16 November 2011 – physio

The physio went well yesterday although it cost me £30 in taxi fares as it’s quite a long way from home. I’ve got some more exercises to do and she says I’ve got to try to keep moving gently. The yoga is good. She can see and feel the muscles on the right of my neck and my right shoulder are very tight which is my body trying to protect the injury. It’s a fine line between exercise and relaxation an not doing too much too soon.

11 November 2011 – feeling sorry for myself

Sorry I haven’t been posting but been feeling sorry for myself and also struggling to do too much. It’s been a bit one step forward two steps back. I feel a bit better I do things then the next day I feel worse again.

1 November 2011 – it never rains but it pours

Now I am signed off work for another ten days because my shoulder and neck are still painful. I’ve had a few bad days of eating rubbish, lounging around on the sofa and feeling very sorry for myself.

25 October 2011 – l need a new job

I went to bed at 10 last night and took one of the Diazepam (I’m supposed to take them 3 times a day but it was my first because the pain killers with codeine made me pretty groggy during the day). I slept like a baby until 5.30. Woke up, went to the loo and thought I was healed because I felt no pain at all. Within 10 mins the pain was back so decided to take pain killers instead of another diazepam. I have to phone the absence line every morning and figured if I took another diazepam I wouldn’t be asleep until midday and would be in trouble for not phoning in. I think I will keep them for night time.
