On Sunday afternoon, I went careering down my lovely spiral staircase, catching my arm in the banister on the way and wrenching it quite hard. Had a little cry but didn’t think too much of it, until I woke up on Monday to violent nerve pain, stiff shoulder joint and very little movement. Never mind, thought I, best get to work. Bumped into Ayetch on the bus, who thought I should probably see a doctor but I continued on my merry way anyway. Several hours of agonizing pain later, I found myself with a horribly swollen arm in a hospital, being told I couldn’t have any of the necessary anti-inflammatorys because they’d clash with my other medication and so I had to grin, bear it and ‘take as much codeine as you are allowed to’. Thanks, nurse. (she was actually very lovely).
So I’m off work, but actually doing some work from home. Luckily, our office/spare room has a bed in it as I can only type lying down with arm propped up. Sigh.
So have some photos of things that make me happy:

handmade brooch from mummy.

Cross stitch! My first ever attempt. Next, an ‘I heart Tea’ for TomA.

Morry! He’s currently snoozing on the bed beside me, being gorgeous and cuddly. I love him so.
Grumble, grumble.
