I get my hospital doctors mixed up these days, heart or shoulder, and which folder should all the various paperwork go in?
Anyway saw the MT today where I can comfortably discuss both and I remarked that I have another ‘shoulder’ check at the hospital on Thursday but no sign of another for my heart. He looked on his screen and announced the next one for that is ‘l’annee prochaine’ . I wonder if they give guarantees.
On the subject of the shoulder I decided not to pursue the request for a letter to join the Gym after he gave me a further 30 sceances with the wonderful kine lady after my last one is due next Monday. This because, although I get a little improvement every day, I still can’t lift the arm from the shoulder higher than the horizontal. So I am saving 30 odd euros a month and a 30 km round trip while continuing with something that really feels good. She does make me work hard before letting me out, working the pulleys and spidering my hand up the wall or bars until the arm is fully extended, but I really feel that I should be paying her for that heat lamp and the heavenly massage session during the first part of the visit. I feel I have a duty to suppress the groan of pleasure as her hands work over my shoulders and neck, lest she gets the wrong idea of what she is doing to me.
Just relax and enjoy it David.
I feel a bit jealous as when I had kiné sessions a few years ago I just found it exhausting and it would take me 3 days to recover.
Clearly your lady is an angel which is why the massage is heavenly.
Ooh I had the same with both feet after the bunions were done the other year. Lovely young man with my feet up on his lap on the sofa and normally I am ticklish in that region, but it was heavenly.
I always feel more comfortable in the precence of gentlemen than ladies, must be down to the fact we always had a lot of blokes in the building trades at our house subbing for OH and my brother being a brickie had loads of mates in the trades. I also find I can talk easier to a man than a woman as well as I never considered myself a girly girl being a tomboy when I was young until I did discover the boys.
I get along with women more than men as well. It’s probably to do with the fact that our family was very female centric, with plenty of strong but very caring women. The number of ‘aunties’ us kids had was also huge.
Interestingly, we were very recently informed that one of these ‘aunties’ that we lost touch with many years ago had died recently in a care home, and as she died intestate with no children or surviving siblings or parents her estate had been given to one of those ‘heir hunter’ companies, who told us that we were actually related, from a sister of my great grandfather. I did a bit of digging online and found that many of these ‘aunties’ were actually relations from that branch of the family tree. Very interesting.
Mind you so can the female ones - trying to out do their male colleagues. Happened to me other day with a cardiologist - aggressive and rude to me and her colleagues.
. I wonder if they give guarantees.
