Days 502 to 507

It's been a very eventful few days.

I decided as it was my Birthday last Wednesday not to spend in Hospital having an xray. We went to the Island Garlic Farm and had a nice Lunch. It was nothing fancy but the waiting staff were very pleasant and had a good knowledge of what the meals actually contained. It was nice to get lots of texts and facebook messages from amongst others Jack and Lucy and a lovely card from Harry. Emily and Adam helped me blow out the candles. When I went to bed all was well with the world.

In the middle of the night I woke up in agony with horrible back pain. It was one of those it only hurts when you move type of things. I managed to get an appointment with a very good Chiropractor. She reckons all that coughing has meant that the pelvis has become twisted. She did all kinds of unspeakable things and promised it would work. Bless her some 3 days on things are much better. I am due to go and see her again on Friday.

In the meantime broadcasting was not an option so Thursday's show got cancelled and I only felt strong enough to go for the xray on Friday Afternoon. Fortunately there was no queue. The results will be with the GP by next Friday but I don't feel unduly concerned even though I still have a cough. It's much less of a problem. My weight continues to stabilise at around 13 stone and I am eating better.

I shall post again when xray results are known.
