Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Can't remember if I have moaned about this in here or not, so feel free to read ahead if I have:

I have had a lower back issue for a while now. First happened about this time 3 years ago, where my back went into awful spasms for a few days, and when it eventually cleared up there was a noticeable displacement of my pelvis, and bad pains down my left leg. Cleared up after a while, since when it recurred 18 months later, another 6 months after that and now there's been 3 or 4 instances in the last year alone.

Once I realised I couldn't blame it on one-off issues during or as a result of exercise I got it checked out and it seems I have 2 bulging discs in my spine that were irritating the nerves that run down the length of my left leg. Had a root nerve blocker injection yesterday and already starting to feel better, mercifully.

Sadly, though, it means an end to my burgeoning running career (far too impactful on that area of my spine) and the latest episode was caused by walking 75k+ steps in 3.5 days in Dublin last week, so need to tone that down, and all.

Looks like a pivot to yoga/pilates and calisthenics is in order!!

That's pretty much all the news that's fit to print from me, except to say that I am looking forward to Aintree in a couple of weeks and praying my suits still fit!

Aah Daphne's house. Was that taken from the car ferry? If you manage to make it down as far as Falmouth let me know and I'll jump the bus in. and treat you and Mr P to some of Cornwall's finest ales.

Have a great anniversary tomorrow. If you're partial to fish/seafood I can highly recommend Sam's on the Beach near Par for lunch.

No it was taken from the bedroom window! We’re booked in at Sam’s in Fowey tomorrow night - it’s Fowey food week (didn’t know until we got here) so there’s a bit going on which is nice, I’ll definitely let you know if we get down to Falmouth x

It's the same people Val and the food is superb. I can highly recommend both the bouillabaise and the seafood feast which are both great value for what you get. Sam's on the beach also has the most amazing location, but I guess it's probably the wrong time of year to go. Have a great night. Presumably you're fully recovered now.

The nerve root injections don’t work for everyone but I did get relief from them. I got 3 done but ultimately had to go under the knife to get part of a disc removed. Mine was as a result of an accident rather than wear and tear so our circumstances may be different.

You need to master the pigeon Brett .....and I don't mean Eichys goal celebration.

Aah, Did I ever tell you that I have Rob hooked on these sausages too now?. We discussed it this morning (as you do) and apparently the farm that supplies them is not too far from Truro and they have a farm shop on site. So there will be frequent visits to stock up on supplies. I'll probably need to freeze them but the new kitchen has a built in fridge freezer to add to my own so I'll have plebty of capacity.

Sounds like you've made up your mind already Fred.

Yeah, the pain doctor I am seeing did say that they’re not 100% guaranteed but would rather give that a go than go straight for surgery!

I am hoping a combo of the injection and tactical exercising to avoid undue stress on my spine will mean I don’t need anything more.

Lap of the Gods though, innit?

Yep. It'll be a bind to leave Mawnan Smith as I love the area. But I will have been here over 6 years and it's difficult when you don't drive. I'll have a more sociable life in Truro, not to mention more independence. Plus the apartment really is very nice and has everything I need and more. There's a direct bus to the airport too. My favourite pub, The Old Alehouse, has live bands on a weekend and my favourite beer is an hours bus journey away at The Blue Anchor in Helston. It's a no brainer really.
