Hopeless Helpless Going Mad

[lakeside1000]

What a week, last Sunday I decided after a fairly busy morning out and about I decided to wash the cars, My back is poor at the best of times but after the effort of washing and cleaning out the cars I was very sore and exhausted, through the evening I got more and more uncomfortable and by the time I turned in I was in agony , hardly able to move.

Monday morning I couldn't even dress myself and just lay there virtually paralysed, an old injury and nerve damage after two operations 10 years ago has now returned to haunt me, one week later and trying to rest every day its no better,

My guns sit in the cabinet, I sit in my chair , very frustrated.

So it looks like my wild fowling this season will be on hold for while and all my pigeon permission's left unattended , at least the pigeons will get some undisturbed feeding time,

Even if I could get to the right spot in the 4x4, I couldn't put out the decoys, build the hide or collect shot birds, its a real ******.

Best I can do is sit here at my computer and read all your reports of good days out, so keep them coming, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year , and look forward to perhaps being a little better in January, Anyone got an off road wheelchair LOL .

I've been in that situation you have my sympathy and wishes for a speedy recovery.

Been there myself, couldn't get out of bed even to pee for a week. Pump up the valium, rest and try not to over do it!

 

You'll have those ducks and pigeons running (well flying) for cover in no time!

Sorry to hear of your predicament. There but by the grace of God go I.

Yes, been in this situation also myself. laid out on the the lounge floor for three days. Did mine coiling up a hose pipe in the garden after watering plants!

 

Very depressing and getting the missus to bring you a bowl to wee in is very demoralising.

 

Your'e not missing a lot on the pigeon front so don't worry! Get well soon.

Been there too, most of my salmon fishing and fowling scuppered until i paid to see a private physio who sorted me with a course of physio and aquipuncture which worked really well over a few weeks. Cost a bit but well worth it.

 

Have had a few similar probs over the past couple of years and aquipuncture sorted me each time

Acupuncture will very likely ease the pain considerably. Worth a try.

[Mr gen]

try and keep your chin up Lakey, it wont help your back as its more a metaphor.

but as others have said hope you get well soon and get back to crouching in ditches and water filled marshes

If you had a wife like mine mate you would drag yourself out of the house by the finger nails Hang in there, enjoy the festive season the best you can and rest up, I've been in the same position in the past yet was dragging a fallow doe up a hillside for an hour on Wednesday (feeling it a bit now). Have a good one and all the best for the coming New Year.

Sorry to hear of your back problem Alan , going by the above posts , most of us know how you are feeling at the moment and all this damp , depressing weather isn't helping neither .

 

Hope you are soon back in action even if its just a gentle walk and some fresh air.

 

All the best for Christmas to you and your good wife and I hope to see you about before to long.

Why don't you see if there are any pw members local to you without a permission who would be willing to accompany you and do all the physical work?
