It's Saturday night here.
I've studied most of today. I'm still feeling yuck.

I've been up since 7am.
Scrambled egg and toast, two coffees and I've done a wash.

Soon I'm off to play with the dogs while my mum does her lady who lunches with a mate.

Lazy Saturday
I'm sipping my fourth mug of tea, finishing a scrumptious bacon sarnie and considering what to do for the rest of the day before tonight's BBQ.
Stll not allowed to drive, so it'll be either public transport to the local guitar shop or await my G/F as chauffeur.

After reading the above, I think I'll have a croissant!

why aren't you allowed to drive?

I had some......
... spinal surgery on the 17th of may. A 3-level bilateral posterior foraminotomy to be precise (basically they chopped all of the bone out of my spine that's squeezing the nerves to my arms). Complicated by the 2 level cervical spinal fusion I had 4 years ago.
This meant that they went through all of the mucles that attach my arms to my neck to get to the spine so I'm as weak as a kitten - but twice as cute! So, no driving for another 2 weeks at least.

Bugger!

wow - that sounds extreme.

Had to be done
I was losing sensation in my left hand and didn't have full control of my left pinkie (which is serious shit for a guitarist!). Plus there was constant pain in my left upper arm and my whole right arm. There's only so many meds they can give you - and believe me I tried thenm all! The surgeon told me that 'A pinched nerve is a nerve that's being slowly killed' so, rather than become slowly paralysed I took the surgical option. Glad I did too!
Revel in your youth and vigour while you can Poppet, old father time's a sneaky bastard. I still don't believe I'm 51 but my body's constantly reminding me I'm not 17 any more :)

That's probably the better option to have taken.
My hip is still giving me grief after my car accident, but it's much better now than it was. I hope your arms get better.

Are they giving you anything for it?
If you're still studying biomechanics maybe you'll come up with your own cure!
As an aside, if human/machine interfaces are your thing, look up Kevin Warwick, a professor at Reading Uni (Cyborg 2.0). He had connectors implanted into his arm so he could control a cybernetic arm with force-feedback. The guy who did the implants for him did my neck!

it's only stiff, not actually bad anymore.
It's only because I'm not well that it's giving me trouble. And I'm not doing biomechanics - I'm doing biomedical science. Christ I wouldn't do biomechanics, that'd confuse me too much.

Ugh
Been up since 6, which is completely out of character for me. However, I have managed to get some stuff done, and am now smugly sitting down to rest.

Later I will be going to town to try on a dress which I may or may not buy. My life just could not get any more exciting.

Somebody just came in to our shop trying to change a three dollar note. It had a picture of Bill Clinton on it and the white house had a for sale sign outside.

Quite a bizarre, unexpected morning.
