My cold has nearly gone.
As if to compensate, I have a bad finger again. It crept up on me during the night and when I woke at 5.30 this morning it was throbbing away.
It’s annoying, as it gets in the way when doing things like counting coins or writing, and can be surprisingly painful. It was bad over Christmas, as you may have read, but at least I knew what caused it then.
If it’s going to come back every six weeks I may have to go back to the doctor for an injection in the joint. I’m shuddering mentally at the thought. It worked well last time I had one, but it wasn’t the most pleasant of experiences.
Looking on the bright side, the weather should be warming up soon and warmer weather is always better for aches and pains.
I’ve now run out of things to say.
Hopefully the week will become more interesting tomorrow…
Glad you are feeling better, Quercus!

The conjunction of ‘needle’ and ‘armful’ instantly made me think of Tony Hancock and smirk, perhaps inappropriately, or did you have ‘The Blood Donor’ in mind too?

It’s impossible no to have Hancock in mind when giving blood though I didn’t think of it until later. He has clearly entered my subconscious.

Goodness me! How you must be tired of needles

Yes, I am indeed. It’s possible to do the Warfarin test with a prick to the finger and a smudge of blood. But oh no, they have to use a big needle and take an armful.

Wot? More than Hancock had to give?

It’s actually more like a fingerful but unlike Hancock I’m in full colour si I reckon it should count for more.

I hope the pain in your finger goes away quickly. Cortesone injections are uncomfortable but usually work like magic.

Yes, it’s going away, which is quicker than usual, as it often stays three or four days. 🙂

Hope your finger feels better soon. An injection in the joint is nothing to look forward to.

It seems like it’s getting better already – this is good as it usually takes a day or two longer.

Roll on the warmer weather. It’s freezing again here. I am sorry about your sore finger.

I hope it starts to warm up for you soon – it must be frustrating when you want to get out and about.
