Pain and Pleasure

8 comments

It’s been a very painful few weeks since I was last on here. My Doc referred me back to the Hospital as my wrist and fingers are still swollen ,I have virtually no movement in my wrist and constant pain. Turns out that the wrist has healed but I have CRPS type1 ( Complex Regional Pain Syndrome ) 3 strong pain killers and physio , which is incredibly painful. I must admit that I can do more now than when I first had the plaster off which is fantastic – but it could take a while and I may not get full use back. I did manage to trim my yew tree but it took me a couple of hrs and I suffered for it that night and the next day !
After struggling to cut it I have bought an electric hedge trimmer so hopefully I will be able to whizz around the garden now.
Rita has settled in well and the fushias and begonias are still flowering as are the beans although they aren’t producing much. My neighbour says it’s too cold at night now but I don’t have the heart to pull them out while there are still flowers…

My water butt is full again as we have had some rain on and off over the last week but over all the weather has been pretty good.

The birds that seemed to have deserted the garden over the Summer ( I use the word loosely) seem to be returning which is nice.

The hostas look like lace , apart from one that I have in a pot which for some reason managed to avoid the dreaded snails, such a shame as they are such lovely plants.Better luck next year eh ?

I have a rose that I bought cheap from Sainsburys 2yrs ago called Pride and it has the most beautiful scent and such big gorgeous flowers on it.

I took a pic of a single flower that came out on my Stelata earlier this month. My hebe’s have yet to flower but my Cordaline that was almost killed 2 yrs ago is re growing beautifully.

I also gave my acer a ‘trim’ as it was getting too large.
