Fed up

[tankerman24]

I'm fed up, two weeks ago I started getting a pain around my ribs and started to cough up horrible stuff I went to see my GP who said I had a chest infection and fluid on my lung and he signed me off for the week i went home and phoned Shirley to tell her the the news, I had the phone wedged in my neck as I was doing the dishes at the time, I coughed and there was an amazing pain in my neck a little while later my eyes went a bit funny and the next day my face was tingly on one side. another trip to the docs showed I had trapped a nerve in my neck.
over the weekend my neck ached so much Ive had no sleep and I still keep getting chesty. I'm signed off for another week and I've been to the hospital for a chest X Ray.
Shirley bought me one of those TENS machines to help my pain in my neck what a wierd feeling it could be used as a torture machine if you have it turned up to high,

So I thought I would just say HI too you all hope your all well
(I've only driven the Westfield about two miles last week and I started to feel ill

Get well soon Steve, hard to find words to cheer you up, still at least its the end of the fun driving season rather than start.

[tankerman24]

Cheers guys, One good thing is I've finally had the time to work out how to post pics on this site and on the Westfield forum
I can hack the being chesty bit but trying to get my neck comfortable to sleep is the hard bit

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!

A weekend in a Bangkok massage parlour will soon sort your neck out....



(get well soon)

[evolutionvalet]

Jeez, that sounds real shitty. Hope it sorts itself out soon.

Good job Discovery Turbo has Speed Week on all this week then...

Ow.

Maybe you spend too much time with the phone wedged in your neck? I've never been much good at that trick and now that I have a Panasonic cordless set-up it's impossible - they shoot out like bars of soap!

[crisp500]

Really sorry to hear about the neck and chest Steve.Remember not to let that little Westfield go without exercise.If she needs a walk,you know where we are!
Hurry up and get well mate!

You can also have this sorted at the Bankok massage parlour...

And the moral of the story is ..... Washing dishes is a pain in the neck

Those TENS machines work quite well but they need a bit of experimenting with - mine helps with my 3 dodgy discs anyway.

I know what a trapped nerve feels like. Unfortunately, it could take some time to ease

[tankerman24]

Hi everyone, thanks for your messages. My neck feels a little better, still keep feeling chesty though. its strange one minute I'm fine the next I feel chesty.
Ive been trying to use my time well, I sorted out loads of my finances yesterday, sorted out cheaper utilities, I saved a hundred pounds on my car insurance.sorted out cheaper phone calls.
Today my goal is to sort out my pensions, I have three from previous employers which Im going to try and get put into my BOC pension. www.moneysavingexpert.com is my friend
I may go for a walk in town later, Ive only left the house to go to the docs this last week.

Sounds nasty - hope you make a speedy recovery. Be careful though, Pensions can be a pain in the neck.
