Helen has been
weekending at Kirkmichael, but she was here today, and even she, who is a
sturdy advocate of walking, thot I was limping too badly to attempt to go out,
even with my stick. So I sat out on the step a while absorbing vitamin D. The
telephone conversation with the dr – not a doctor I know, unfortunately -- is
scheduled for Thursday. I think my hip has taken a turn for the worse,
although I wonder if using a zimmer frame (as I have been doing) is bad for it.
It’s been a good
day for knitting. I am lucky – the knitters of Scotland are lucky – that it
rarely gets hot enough here to spoil the pleasure of knitting with wool. The
first Lilias Day sleeve should be finished soon.
Wordle: we had an
easy one today. Ketki and Thomas and I scored three, Alexander and his friend Mark
and Rachel, in London, got it in two. They must be very clever. My two starter
words –TRAIN and HOUSE – gave me one green and four yellows: that means I had
all the letters and there was nothing for it but to solve the anagram. I’m not
very keen on anagrams, but eventually I got it. But Alexander and Mark and
Rachel had to leap in cold turkey, after only one starter.
The Times
published a list last weekend, as part of all the Jubilee fuss, of 50
recommended novels from the last 70 years. I have read some of them,
inevitably, and am making a start on others. Do I want to read “Midnight’s
Children” or Amis’ “Money”?
My starters are very like yours: TRAIN and COUGH. Will see how long it takes me to get today's solved.
ReplyDeleteWhy has it stopped letting me use my name? I am supposed to be logged in with Google. I'm kayT as I have been for a long time!
Deleteand now I am kayT again. Huh. Isn't technology grand.
DeleteI'll have to find that list of books. I wonder if I've read any of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tamar, off to find the list!
ReplyDeleteUsing a Zimmer frame, which i see is what we call a ‘walker’ on this side of the pond shouldn’t be bad for your hip. A fall would be worse, no doubt, for the hip and other body parts. The stability the frame offers will be helpful until the assessment can be completed and As treatment begins.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the angle of the body when using the frame makes a different in the pressure on the hip. Do you lean forward on it, or stand as straight as possible, etc?
