And I hope you'll be feeling better soon ...

Thank you all......and so to bed, perchance to dream....and not , I hope, go Ooh, Ow, Ouch.

ibuprofen?

Awwww so sorry to hear that David, its so frustrating isnt it when you have jobs you wanna get on with? I have pain in my shoulder and neck, im being referred for Physio but its driving me mad not being able to do things, do as your told and rest and you'll soon be on the mend :)

Its not for everyone but acupuncture works for me
. I,ve used the same physio for years, she worked at the local hospital and then on her own when she had the children (I can't believe the eldest is nearly 18!) She uses acupuncture as another tool of her trade and it works for me often combined with a lovely massage then exercises

Sorry to hear of your problems David hope you are soon on the mend;0)

All your good wishes seem to be working. Slowly on the mend today. Some excellent young Walter Funke achilleas have just arrived in the post ( got tempted by them on the Hampton Court BBC programme and then found them on eBay ) but I must resist putting them in today.

And must remember the slug pellets. Writing this to remind myself otherwise it is money down the drain

whoops sorry Inverglen - posted you a question today when probably you have more urgent things to worry about... sympathise however - myself after 2 strokes (AVC) there are times when I can peer at the slugs without being able to aim my foot (or my salt-cellar) correctly. ~frustrating when even one's worst impulses can't be fulfilled.

Me I'm being positive and wondering about dierama for next year (blame a post from Owdboggy, they do look gorgeous and I have a raised & sunny bed... see we gardeners keep dreaming)

Hope you continue on the mend... regards monjardin

Lol....Glad to hear you are on the mend Inverglen....'Garden Festival is flowering beautifully...:>)

Glad youre backs a bit better David, love those Achilliea!
