Ongoing journey

Well this journey continues....... Good day on Monday, wonderful afternoon tea with the lovely ladies and gentlemen of Cameo. I was still struggling with pain which had now focused on my left side and in my back. So I made a GP appointment for Tuesday but then unfortunately I found I couldn't get out of bed because of extreme pain. My back had spasamed and I was unable to move it. I had a few minutes of panic thinking whatever is going on now but then we decided that this could be nothing to do with anything else and had just happened. I have a wonderful GP who phoned and was so, so helpful. She admitted that she had no idea what was going on but found some drugs I could use to help to cope with the pain and the spasams, in very low doses because of my kidneys. So the last few days have been spent in bed moving as little as possible and allowing my back to recover. I have had to stop the new drug in case it has anything to do with it. I will restart once my back is better.  Ho Hum! I am so thankful Paul works from home so that he has been able to look after me. 
So we shall see how quickly I can recover. I so want to go to London on Saturday but that may not be possible now. 
Again it has been such a big reminder of how we take so much forgranted. Everyday we expect our bodies to do what we want them to do - to take us to wherever we need to go and to function efficiently so that we can achieve all that we want. It is only when they break down that we realise how amazing they are and how amazing it is that they work so well everyday. 
We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
