After a second agonisingly painful night with my neck I endured an additional arduous, firmly yet tenderly applied, chiropractic session with Eloise this morning.
This pretty well wiped me out for the day spent alternately dozing and reminiscing with Becky and Jackie until late in the afternoon when I began to resurface before Ian returned from Southbourne and joined us for dinner, which consisted of The Culinary Queen’s penne Bolognese and mange touts. I turned mine into pasta arrabbiata with a plentiful dash of Scotch Bonnet Sauce. Jackie and Ian drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Cabernet Sauvignon.
All care,
Thank you so much, Catherine
More wine!!
Thanks very much, GP
Get well, Derrick! ????????????????????
Thanks very much, John
????????????????☺️☺️
Hope the spirits helped lift the spirits and the pain.
Thanks very much, Pat
I hate to put ‘like’ for ‘agonisingly painful’ and ‘arduous’, but do hope it all works our well and easily asap.
Thank you so much, Donnalee
Oh dear. Looks like it will take a few sessions to set you to rights. Feel better.
Thank you very much, Dale
I hope the rest helps you feel better.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Chronic pain is no fun. You will come out the other side of this, hopefully soon.
Feel better soon please !
Thank you very much, Holly. I like the eloquent please
Oh, gosh! (sad-sad face) I’m so sorry to hear this, Derrick! Chronic pain can be so wearying.
Hopes and prayers that you can rest, heal, and be pain-free soon.
Gentle (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Carolyn. I’ve just had a good night
Oh, good to hear! 🙂
Sorry to hear this Derrick. Having just spent another day exhibiting patience in my recovery, I know just how frustrating the wait for recovery is. Stick in there – it will be spring soon and that’s always good for this sort of thing.
Thanks very much, Quercus. May will be a good month
It will. 🙂 Being warmer it will also be better for necks.
Life sounds like hard work at the moment. I hope that recovery is on the way.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
I’m so sorry you’re in this kind of pain. It seemed for a while you were on the mend. I hope this latest adjustment sets you right.
Somewhat better today. Thanks very much, Alys
That doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement, but I’m glad it’s not worse.
Thanks very much, Alys
Oh no! This is not happy news. I’m so sorry about the severe pain.
Thank goodness the pain is not affecting your appetite 🙂
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
Ouchie … that’s a pain, I hope you get some relief soon Derrick
Thanks very much, Ivor. Rather better today
That’s good to hear Derrick
I do hope that your neck is sorted soon. I have had a lot of hip pain and difficulty walking in the last few months but finally my osteopath has removed most of the pain.
Thanks very much, Kim. I hope your hip remains easier
The Squire can empathise with you regarding a painful neck and back. No easy solution. Pleased food and guests are distracting you in a nice way.
Thank you so much, Suzanne
That kind of pain takes courage. I’m sending healing vibes. Take care and rest well, Derrick.
Thank you so much, JoAnna. You are right about the need for courage
You’ve got it, Derrick!

Well done on feeling strong enough to join the dinner! I join the rest of your readers in wishing you well under the healing hands of Eloise.
Thank you very much, Anne
I hope you get well soon, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Come on, Derrick, get well soon ! !
Thanks a lot, John
Gad! Best wishes for relief from your literal pain in the neck, Derrick! Dinner sounded very tasty to me. Pasta always is good, but the addition of snow peas (mange touts) is one that can’t be beat!
Thanks very much, Doug. I like the literal
Hope your neck settles soon.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
I hope you feel better soon.
Wishing you and Jackie a belated Happy New Year.
Warmly,
Takami
It is good that the chiropractic session helped with the pain, it is a good feeling to be able to “resurface” as you say, pain free after such moments, and resume our day to day routine normally. Wishing you well, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Nicole
Take care Derrick.
Thanks very much, Arlene
My sympathy Derrick. Every morning when I wake and before getting out of bed I do a body audit to see which bit aches the most.
Cheers, Andrew
I hope you are feeling better today, Derrick!
I am, a bit more than somewhat, Merril. Thank you very much
That is vaguely hopeful, Derrick. I’m glad. 🙂
Get well soon, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Steve
Pain is exhausting. I hope it lessens quickly.
Thank you very much, Sherry
I do hope you recover quickly
Thank you very much, Luisa
You’re most welcome!
So very, very sorry about the neck! Hope your chiropractor can take care of the problem soon.
Thank you so much, Laurie
Oh, I hope you feel better, Derrick. I would finish off the Cabernet Sauvignon, as well to ease the pain.
Slowly getting better, Eugi. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
ongoing pain is not pleasant, I hope that your treatments soon bring about a more permanent solution. Do you have Trager partitioners where you live?
Not that I know of. Thanks very much, Q
Oh dear … such pain to endure. I wish you relief and respite for the incoming days… and healing around the corner.
Thank you very much, Val
Luckily you have Eloise 🙂
Yes. Thanks very much, Riba
Hope the ministrations helped
Thanks very much, Sheree. They did
So sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. I too thought you were on the mend. Please take care of yourself and continue to get the help you need. I can empathize with how Jackie must be feeling. When Kevin was suffering with chronic pain it was very difficult to watch. Thinking of you both and sending healing vibes across the sea. Love Carol
Thank you so much, Carol X
