Linda’s #SOCS prompt this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “joint.” Use it as a noun, an adjective, or a verb–use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Firstly, can I apologise for not taking part in the recent #SOCS challenges. What with the whole situation we have around us at the moment, life is somewhat, topsy turvy, to say the least!
Now, where was I? Joint.
Ahhh. Can I be honest?
The first thing that came to mind was a joint of the smoking variety.
Not to say I am a smoker, but that was the first thing. Jus’ sayin’.
But, thinking about joints, I should really be talking about mine!
If you remember, in October (Seems so long ago, that time of freedom of movement…) I had an awful time, where I was experiencing terrible pains.
They did all sorts of tests, but nothing was coming up. In the end, the GP sent me a referral to see a specialist, and the earliest I could get an appointment was… April.
Yup, over four months, I had to wait.
Since October, the pains haven’t been as bad, but I am getting twinges, and one knee is painful regularly.
I looked forward to this appointment. Maybe someone could let me know what was causing the pains…
Then, the pandemic arrived. And lockdown.
Guess whose appointment wasn’t going to happen?
Well, it kinda did. I got a phone consultation instead, and now I have to go to the local hospital (I’m dreading that) for blood tests, before a follow up appointment in AUGUST!
You know, I might just need that other kinda joint to sort the pains out…
But I Smile Anyway...
