Title: Odd feeling
Post by: ronnyd on 26 March 2020, 19:46:54
Had a very strange thing happen this morning. Was doing my usual ablutions when a numbness went up my right arm into my shoulder then down my back as far as my waist. Thought, bugger, am i having a stroke or something like that. Phoned 111 and was told the wait for a call back was over 15 mins so phoned 999. Very impressed, they were here in a few minutes. Gave me an ECG and various other checks and concluded that i may have overdid the amount of gardening that i did yesterday and just a slight movement, (no pun intended  :D) resulted in a badly trapped nerve in the big muscle in the shoulder. Still have numbness in arm, shoulder and ribs but it's slowly easing thankfully. It could take some time to get back rights but was grateful to the ambulance crew and the NHS considering the shite that's going down at the moment.

i think they call that a warning
limit gardening to sitting, drinking beer  etc  :y

She used to do it all, including the mowing. But two bouts of cancer, triple bypass, kidney tumour has left their mark so now she just potters around when she can. :(

in that case ,make the garden all maintenance free hardstanding and increase your car collection  ;D
obviously you will need to set aside a small section for a bench or patio set and a plant pot of artificial flowers  ;)
