Health Latest, posted 3rd July 2021

Well, Thursday just gone I did my 2 weekly injection, Imraldi (that's its brand name, I can spell that with no problems!), as normal, it hurts, but its nothing compared to how things turn out any number of days AFTER doing it.

It was Wednesday 30th June, the day before the injection. I woke up with slight back pain, which normal for me on a scale of 1 to 10 about a 4. Everything was going fine for the first few hours, I pottered about the flat doing this and that. I managed to get out for some fresh air, a quick wobble around the block and back. 

Got in and felt a bit sleepy, so had a nap, as it was warm, I decided to lay down in the bedroom, it is always nice and cool in there. A few hours later I was awoken by a sharp shooting pain in my back up to my neck and across to my shoulders, on my scale it was either an 8 or 9. I had to get to my pain killers and quick, which is not easy. Anyway, the pain kept at that level until about 10pm when it started to ease.

Thursday rolled around, and as soon as I woke up felt I was still in pain, not its normal 4, but about a 5. Did my Imraldi and seemed to be ok.

Friday I felt almost normal again and knowing I had just done my injection yesterday, decided it was time to escape and venture out for the day. So went to Aberaeron and also Aberystwyth. Had a pleasant day, nothing strenuous, just a gentle walk / wobble around, sat down a few times with a cool drink and one stop had a nice cup of tea.

This morning how ever, Saturday, two days after my Imraldi, and my pain is at a 6, think I may have over done it yesterday.

Cornflakes coated chicken Inspired by Nigella  In a bowl mix together the following Mustard (of your choice - dijon, whole grain or French) Two cloves of garlic (grated) Egg (to combine) mix well until all ingredients are combined. To this add 2 chicken breast fillets flattened into escallops, let them bathe for a while, while you prepare the coating. In another dish pour some cornflakes , massage them into crumbs, add some paprika or cayenne pepper ( depending on your taste ), mix together. Take the chicken out of your mustard mixture and coat in the cornflakes, make sure you coat well. Fry in a pan until the chicken is cooked. Serve with a nice salad. I used honey nut cornflakes, which wasn't right for the dish due to the sweetness, but the nuttieness worked, I also added chives to the cornflakes. See a video online at https://youtu.be/44FvvRk-FIE

Cons proposals for PIP

Cons proposals for PIP Sunak and his government need flogging - end of! Here are his government's proposals relating to PIP. Awards for claimants with physical health conditions and those with mental health issues were called into question by Sunak. He argued that whilst some people need money for aids such as handrails or stairlifts “Often they’re already available at low cost, or free from the NHS or Local Authorities. And they’re one-off costs so it probably isn’t right that we’re paying an ongoing amount every year.” MY VIEW ON THIS: I need PIP for my motability car, also to get CBD and other natural remedies as I'm not a fan of co-codamol and other pain killers and things to make life easier that I can't get elsewhere, I buy my own walking sticks that go with what I wear, so they blend in and don't stand out, it helps my minds train of thought. In addition, claimants with mental health conditions are to be targeted because “for all the challenges they face it is n...
