Morning all
Today's lyrics: Will you tell me when the lights are fading
SC: shame work stopped play yesterday.
Em: that message delay is crazy
Debating wether or not to run. Sensible head says no but I've been sooo sensible lately. It's boring.
Yesterday's lyrics Bryan Adams 18 till I die.
Comments
Lyrics: yes
Hope you got to run, Chick!
What: hope I get to run (plus fitness suite)
Why: seeing consultant for MRI results
What did you decide chicksta?
Hope you get a run in today SC.
Fingers crossed it's good news Alehouse.
I think I have a tooth abscess but my dentist says that he has 'no funds for NHS emergency appointments' so unless I pay to see him privately I have to wait until the 19th December! I've been a patient for over ten years and he's always seen me within a day or two when I've needed emergency treatment but apparently dentists have no duty of care unless you are part way through ongoing treatment. So I either have to pay to see him which I don't want to do on principle or find another NHS dentist who will see me which is harder as I'm scared of dentists. In the meantime I'm mainly munching paracetamol:-(
What: easy miles
Why: distraction
Last hard: hearing my dentist won't see me
Last rest: 30/10
Lyrics - no.
Re mara training, its more taking ownership for advising the group sessions (Tuesday), will still be with the kids on Thursday
Stray - I hate it when work stops play too
What - easy run at lunchtime / out tonight
Why - keeping sane
last rest - 11/9
last hard - Tuesday
LMH: That's terrible. No funds for emergency treatment and this is the year 2017. Blimey. Hope you can keep it at bay.
Hope you get to run, ale.
No sensible head today. No wind, no rain, no cold, just a little damp so it'd be stupid not to go out for a run. I thought maybe I do just a mile or two, then thought I could do 5k which ended up being 5 miles
Hopefully got away with it. Right now no twinge. Fingers crossed.
What: 5 miles
Why: wanted to
Last hard: wrestling with the sensible head
Last rest: 29/10
LMH that is so bad!! I have never had that with mine, poor you
CHicksta, nice 5 miles, hope sensible head doesn't come back and bite
alehouse, hope you got to do what you wanted
what: just a mile later
why: head ache
last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12
have a good day all
What: 6 km mostly off road
Why: my new trail shoes arrived today and I wanted to try them out!
Last hard: running on the road in those shoes, they stick to the tarmac!
Lyrics: nope
Lmh that is crazy. I can't believe they won't see you for emergency work.
Chick fingers crossed all is good
Ale good luck with MRI results
Have a lovely day everyone
Never had this with my dentist either. Called them again this morning to ask about registering with the other dentist in the building (who has a sign up saying they are taking new NHS patients) and what would you know, my dentist decided that he could fit me in as he 'had capacity' today. I wasn't arguing anyway as it meant I was seen. Not an abscess apparently (which I guess is good news) and not sure quite what is causing the pain but most likely culprits are either a lower wisdom tooth that has decided to erupt and is a bit inflamed or a hairline crack in a tooth (though nothing showing on x-ray). Anyway, six monthly check up and scale done and fluoride solution painted on all lower right teeth and fingers crossed it settles down. My dentist was trying to justify not giving me an appointment when I rang yesterday by telling me how he only gets so much NHS budget and has to make it last before trying to talk me into going on to his new plan - £12/month which buys you two check ups (that's a total of £40.60 on the good old NHS) and 20% off any treatment you may need - why would I want to pay that? Obviously we are going to end up with a two tier service with appointments available for private patients not NHS etc but if I am forced to go private I'll probably choose a slightly further away (this one is less than a ten minute walk) and more up to date surgery.
Several emergency dentists in my area who work weekends and evenings for the standard NHS price. Hope you are all sorted LMH!
Glad you got out and ran, Chick! And hope the new shoes don't cause problems, Emz!
Just back from MRI results: the good news is that no op is required, which I was dreading would be the outcome. However there are three separate sites showing inflammation, so technically we are trying to treat three injuries at once! Will report more fully when I can read the doctor's handwriting! Will be another month or so with only a couple of short runs a week, but lots (and lots) of weight through the areas to stimulate healing, plus a new series of drills, plus skipping and hopping (not sure that I'm quite ready for those). Physio booked for this time tomorrow.
Decent news at last, ale. I'm not convinced skipping and hopping are good to fight Achilles tendinitis though. It's what caused mine as a kid... excessive trampolining and jumping (I was a gymnast then). Took them 3 years and endless cortisone injections to fix it
