| Pitt Pens and Inktense Pencils - Jez |
I know old people go on and on about their health issues, but I mention a current problem so that if I am absent from PPP&P from time to time you will know it is not because of choice.
On Sunday evening I suddenly got excruciating pains in my back, which got worse on Monday and Tuesday - couldn't sit, stand, lie or walk. Managed to get a doctor's appointment 5 pm on Tuesday. She thinks some bones in my spine have crumbled a bit causing the pain and has given me various pills including Diazapam to try to reduce the pain, which are working a bit. She even faxed the X-Ray department which she said is unusual to do but wanted and X-ray urgently, so that will be done on Friday. Anyone in England will know how unusual that is!
So I'm not moaning, doing my best to keep going, other people have worse problems. The doctor said the pills will Zonk me out (good medical term), but in between I shall hope to sketch at least once a day. Dev says whenever I talk about PPP&P my eyes light up and I look happier, and will try to keep me going. But if I'm not here, I shall miss you. Jez
Jez, I hope you feel better soon! Scheherazade will definitely help. Glad you got a good radio, it is such a joy isn't it? And I love your sketch of it, beautiful colors and shading.
ReplyDeleteJez many years ago I suffered same pains. Mine turned out I had stones 30. I asked if I could keep them if I had to have my g.bladder out. I had 30 who would believe it. So after operation he brought them in a jar. It looked like large gravel stones on a driveway. It was really amazing as how it did cause pain so much.
ReplyDeleteI had one specialist pushed and prod around my body with his hands and gave me pain killers. Oh it was hurting bad as he did that. I even had sharp pains like an heart attack. . First one said no,no you don't have Gallstones. I said I do. So doc sent me for second opinion as she knew deep down I had stones. . Second one said. Your in gal for the operation. He had all the tests back and it came up . An operation.
My daughter had same problems and she passed kidney stones. Similar pains. May you get results back quickly.
Nice sketch and writing as well. You take care my friend. If it occurs the pain again you will know. I back then felt like I was in labor having contractions.
Love the look of your new radio, great drawing and journal page of it. So sorry that you are not well. Back problems, I sympathise with, I get lower back trouble every so often...it's 'horrible!!!' ....Hope you feel better very soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your pain Jez. Hope you find some relief soon and the sketching helps distract your mind a bit. Love the radio.
