Remember I am always saying I hate stairs now. Well I especially hate ones I can't even see!
Saturday evening we went to an out of the way little Italian where we had a pleasant time until we left.
There were only a few steps and they were highlighted by yellow and black tape. But not the top two, which were dark granite and in the fading light looked to be just part of the floor. Of course, I found myself treading thin air.
The x-ray clearly shows I have snapped a flying saucer shaped wedge off the ball at the top of my right humerus – and it is anything but funny. Neither is typing left-handed. I spent the entirety of Sunday in the wheelchair, as a result I couldn't get out of it and into bed last night. It took our combined efforts and half an hour of most undignified efforts writhing around in boxers so I could spend a painful, fitful night.
Alice doesn't want to take me by train to Kunming tomorrow and I don't blame her. I have agreed to pay for a car. She is going to try and get me a walking stick today, although that horse bolted on Saturday.
Bloody hell, you are certainly not blessed with good luck. How are you and how are you going to get around. Sounds terrible.
ReplyDeleteAnd here was me complaing at having to sit out in the sun for 2 hours in a protective suit, slowly melting away and waiting for a boat that never arrived. Ship visit postponed till tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGet yourself somewhere comfy and have a beer.
I'm excelling myself this time. Hoping by Friday the pain abates a little. I'm not getting around at all!
ReplyDeleteHow are you getting on, any improvement or easier to get about?
ReplyDeleteWheelchairs and a stick mostly. Don't undertand why my legs have packed in.
ReplyDeleteCame out in sympathy.
ReplyDeleteYou know where you can find sympathy
ReplyDeleteAny idea why any flights I book in or out of PVG get cancelled and shifted to Hongqiao?
ReplyDeleteThe one person with covid worked at Pudong airport and he lived near by. Maybe they found some more cases.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard anything but I'm not there at the moment.
The last I heard they were testing everyone at the airport and doing a deep clean.
ReplyDeleteAll I have seen is 3 drug shipments
ReplyDeleteThere are flights tomorrow from Hainan Island direct to Pudong.
ReplyDeleteI might be lucky if i want to fly at bedtime or before breakfast but sod thst, the way I feel
ReplyDeleteGet Alice to check Covid requirements, I've just been told I need a valid negative result within 48 hours to leave the island. The hotel staff are saying all travelers flying anywhere need the negative test within 48 hours before travelling.
ReplyDeleteTerrific - she's got a bad cold
