More reasons why I have been quiet for a while

Last April I had problems with my back, but so what it had happenned before but no this was to go on & on & on

I have tried all sorts of stuff to put it right, my osteopath has tried to resolve it I tried the medication route, sadly although that seem to be helping to control at the same time it has made me even more tired out than I already was.

I went to see a lovely physio Gail & she has been treating me for some time now, she told me my muscles are amongst the tightest she has seen, being the silly person I am I boasted about this rather than resolve it, having said that I am doing some interesting exercises including the cat & the cobra, but it just did not get better, in the end it was suggested I needed to see a consulktant & have a scan

Well I have done that & had the scan, the only way seemed to be to go privately which I finally did, one less holiday this year then, the outcome is that apparrently it is something to do with the lower part of my spine narrowing.

The nice consultant has now said he can do injections in my spine (oh dear) but that may only provide temporary relief, but then he can do a proceedure which has a very high success rate, so now I have the answer, what will happen next, we will have to wait & see. Now you realise that that has had more than a little impact on my life.

Latest update on Concert



Well I am so sorry I have not been blogging for a while, but it has been one of those periods in life when we think well eventually I will find the time to catch up.

Fortunately Caroline kindly spurred me on today asking why had I gone quiet, so how could I resist, are you reading carefully then I will begin.

You may remember that I was organising another concert, did you know the date, well I did, its this Sunday, now what’s special about this date that I did not know, yes its Mothers Day, so of all the days in the year how could we of got it so wrong, or at least that’s how it seems.

Well that’s not to bad you say, no but supposing the person who rings round to sell the tickets & do the publicity has to go off ill, well that’s very sad for her but also for the concert, but never mind, now just supposing the person who was designing the posters became pregnant & struggled to do them, gladly she now has a lovely little baby called Dylan. But then just imagine that the substitute person now after doing the poster, disappears when we find we need it altering, um interesting.

Now there is the little issue of the performers, it seemed so simple & I must say that all that is going to happen on the day is down to the lovely Jackie, who has worked so tirelessly to make it all happen, as people found they could not do their part, finding substitutes & wheeling & dealing, planning, doing the running order, Jackie you have been brilliant, quite who or what will be on the stage we will have to see

Oh I forgot, we have had a little hiccup, to do with the piano, well we will now have it, but will it be in tune, lets see

Now about the tickets well they should be going great after the success last year, well not quite, so readers if you are about this Sunday & want to treat the family please come down to Radcliffe Civic suite for 2pm, I am sure you will have a treat.

In case you turn up & cannot see me well who do you think is operating the curtain again, but I will come out in the interval to see who turns up.
