Bloody hell. A date at last...
The dread battery issue rises from the dead
Today's Minion
Cancelling a concert
And this time, it’s not the dread COVID-19 doing this. It’s me. Simply because I cannot guarantee that my back will be sorted, and I have no intention of putting it under anymore stress that it is at the moment.
As it is, it’s already managed to go into spasm this year (ok – Monday) and the language was almost as bad as it was when I suffered the initial injury – in June 2021.
Plus, as I am currently “banned” from driving by the GP and the spinal surgeon, I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to go to the Town Hall in Birmingham the end of March to watch Magnum rocking their home town. Which would mean me standing (and badly dancing) for a minimum of two hours, plus all the travelling. Which is a damned shame, as they always put on a good gig. And they will have two new albums to pull onto the playlist – the excellent The Serpent Rings:
as well as the new album – The Monster Roars:
Hopefully I will be fit enough to see them in Nottingham at Rock City on 14/09/22 and enjoy the concert in a city (and a venue) that has quite a few good (and definitely drunken) memories.
Ah well, guess I should call this quits - my poor little phone is bleeping at me. Again.
Back when I get the chance.
Getting somewhere at last - and not just the booster...
Well, it's been nearly a week since I started taking the Amitriptyline tablets. These were originally designed to be an anti-depressant, but as so often happens, they (the pharmaceutical companies) found that it was not very good for the original issue, but it is really good for treating pain. Specifically neuralgia (nerve pain) as well as migraine.
Now comes the "fun" part. Like all prescription medication, there are side effects... And the most common ones are some crackers... Things like...
This little miracle pot has really helped me, and I know when I haven't used it. My back hurts (ok - more than it does normally with the slipped disc) and it seems to help with the pain in my leg. I don't know if it was because I gave the leg a damned good massage rubbing this stuff in (my thigh muscles were twitching like they were wired to the mains) but it seemed to help and allowed me to get some sleep.
