There’s talk of us doing something similar as the VE Day one was a real success.Selby White wrote:Enjoyed our street garden party on Sunday with the neighbours using two gardens to social distance.
In fact we enjoyed it that much we all dragged our chairs out again last night to do it again.
Sent out for pizzas for our meal added to beers from the fridge made for a very enjoyable evening.
Think it could become a regular neighbourhood get together as everyone enjoyed it.
How’s everyone doing ?

Not very well. Have got a knee infection (in the knee I had replaced several years ago). No pain when I am sat still but when I move its like barbed wire in the knee. One thing I have found out is that the NHS has closed down. No local GP - closed. Local Hospital minor injuries clinic - closed. Only option is main A&E at Hospitals 12 or more miles away. (Can't drive). Can't stand up for more than a few minutes, so can't even have a shower - no visitors please!

That's terrible John, I know it's not ideal but can you get someone to take you to the A&E ?johnh wrote:Not very well. Have got a knee infection (in the knee I had replaced several years ago).

That’s awful Sir John, my dad gets terrible pains in his knees so I can imagine how you feel. Hope it improves quickly.johnh wrote:Not very well.

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Ask for a lift or pay for a taxi mate, or even call an ambulance, it's not like you're wasting anyone's time. All the best.johnh wrote:Not very well.

Knee pain is no fun at all John and infection needs treating so any way you can get to the hospital.johnh wrote:Not very well.

Re: How’s everyone doing ?
Spent a long time on the phone this morning and finally managed to get hold of a Doctor from our surgery. He doesn't think it is an infection (?) and has prescribed some pain killers which my kind next door neighbour got from the chemist this afternoon. Will see how they go. Not confident in his diagnosis 'by phone' but will wait and see what happens over the coming days. Her indoors has a zimmer frame for when her arthritis is bad. At the moment I can't go anywhere without it!

Re: How’s everyone doing ?
Managing to get about without the walking frame today. Knee a lot better, hopefully back to normal by the week-end. Hate being incapacitated and having to rely on other people, even when they are as kind as family, friends and neighbours have been. Thanks for all your thoughts and good wishes.

Yes good to hear John. Take it easy though, don't rush into the 110m hurdles start gently on the sprintSelby White wrote:Pleased you are getting better Johnjohnh wrote:Managing to get about without the walking frame today.
