I am back from my holiday!

Hi everyone I hope that this post finds you well where ever you are? I came back from India last week and for around 24 hours our body clocks were all over the place. However not one to waste precious time we were both up in the wide awake club at 2AM and had done four loads of washing before the morning sun rose! How about that for efficiency. Unfortunately the holiday did not get off to a good start because 2 days before we were due to go I went to do something I have done like you probably and moved a chair. I got an excruciating pain in my back which also shot down my leg. You guessed it a prolapsed disc. I was in agony could not move my wife was trying to move me to sit on the chair. It was quite a comical scene as I was saying don't touch don't touch! Thankfully I had done my packing on New Years day so at least I was ready to go. On Thursday the disappointment on my wifes face was alarming to me as she so desperately wanted to go to India. I dosed myself up with codeine until I was practically off my face and we went. I must admit I was in two minds to cancel it. Fortunately my son in law took us to the airport so I did not have to lift the cases. The fun part was trying to get dressed in the morning. I could not lift my left leg I had to lift it manually. Not the start of a holiday I was anticipating but after around ten days the pain was bearable and I was able to stop taking the codeine. It is quite a shock coming back to such cold weather. It went from 36C (96.8 F ) right down to -2 C (28F). So we are feeling a tad cold at the moment. Unfortunately all my colleagues have rotten colds so I always keep a stock of medication in my draw and have been dishing out lemsips etc, making them drinks to keep them hydrated and taking up the slack while they are quarantined to the office. Gosh they do look rough but I do wish they would have stayed at home because I do not want to catch it.
