...to do some gentle cycling when I saw him on Friday ... I'm set up for a walk in appointment at the x-Ray dept at Hexham Hospital this week ..& he is getting me some physio... Now when I set off this morning it was with every intention of doing a nice pootle around Sidwood ..nothing to strenuous as I have done naff all for over 3 weeks .. But then the silent whispers took over in my head ...man or a mouse , man up you pussy ..etc...and I ended up doing some of the red & black trails at Kielder ..haha ! When I say some ..I did Skyspace / skydive on the Lonesome Pine Trail and all of the Deadwater trail... Some pics Entrance to Skyspace ...  Inside Skyspace  The reflection from the hole in the roof ( the space )  The hole looking up at a clear blue sky and the light from the sun  Scenery from Skydive   Deadwater in the distance ...heading there next  Part of the Skydive trail  Deadwater   Hope I don't suffer for it later ....!! |

So I'm sitting at my desk this morning when the phone shows a witheld call ...99/100 I don't answer these ..but this morning I did ..and I'm pleased that I did .
Having just been referred by my doc to see a physio ..it turned out to be the physio who had " lost " her online diary for the day and as such had picked up my referral and said that I could go down for an appointment an hour hence ..and avoid waiting for another 4weeks ..result !
After taking down a few details and getting a severe bollocking for the ride I did yesterday ( gentle actually means road riding ffs) ..it transpires that I'm out of balance ..need sole inserts ( seperate appointment ) ..done damage to my medial ligaments and also my hamstring .
I've been given 3stretch excercise 3 times daily ..and will be given a course of ultrasound treatment when I return ..
Very gentle riding ..no longer than an hour until I return on the 12th October ...no need for an x-Ray !
If this works I will be well happy !

I told you to get to a physio, this stuff is just way out of most if not all Doctors radar, if you haven't got snot coming out of your nose or a bone poking out I find its pretty much a game of trial and error, maybe I just need to change my doctor. Glad you seem to be getting sorted, and you've finally been diagnosed as unbalanced  |

That last diagnosis wouldn't come as any surprise to anyone who knows me or indeed has met me ..which includes yourself ..
I hadn't quite thought of it in that context though ..thanks for flagging that up John ..hahaha !!

Neil, well the unbalanced bit explains a lot ;-) Good to hear you've got a diagnosis of your problems and you'll be able to play badminton again too. Good news :-)

I WAS a better squash player ..and played almost every night ..20 years ago ..I'm an ok badminton player .
They are though two entirely different games ..using different parts of your arm ...and different racket techniques ...although the smash in both games was /is my strength .
I think with squash you know with a fair degree of certainty where the ball is going to go and can "listen "more and don't neccessarily have to see your opponent hit the ball ..by which I mean that a boast ( as an example ..has a distinctive sound ) from the side wall say from the right ..will reach the left hand side of the wall at the front and vice versa..and it's all about controlling the centre of the court and manoeuvring your opponent out of position .
In badminton there is someone on the other side of a net ..so not only do you have to get it over the net ..you pretty much can't guess where exactly the shuttle is going to be returned to ...both great games though .
If it is to be the end ..then I will miss it loads...

You got lucky with the physio.
I've just jad my appointment come through after 5 weeks.
Only problem is as they've taken so long the appointment is after my next meeting with the consultant. As a result I need to change that appointment now - god knows when I'll get another one with him......

You're right there ..in the system now due to a quirk of fate ( I paid a hacker ..but don't tell anyone !) ...living in the sticks also has it's advantages..less folks per physio perhaps ..
The stretch excercises seem to be helping already ..I hadn't realised I was so "tight " ..
Hope you get sorted soon ..

Having seen the physio again today ..got the green light to step it up a bit .." Gentle "
Good progress made on the hamstring with the stretch excercises ..the medial would be heading the same way were it not for the fact that my son " forgot " and tried to shoulder charge me into next week at the weekend which caused me to jar it ..but progress is being made ..
Praise be ...
Lordy lordy hallelujah !
Let me hear you say YEAH ! ....YEAH !!!!
Amen to that .. Brothers and Sisters...
