Good morning All! I'm back! Sorry for the intermission but hopefully now back on track. Yesterday was the first day without wrist strapping or pain killers! Let's hope this is how it continues. Thank you so much for all the messages and kindness .. it has been very much appreciated.

Our card for today is somewhat appropriate! It's The Fool. A Major Arcana card for a Monday morning - what a good start to the week! What new adventure are you contemplating? This card encourages you to take the leap of faith into the unknown. Perhaps you don't know everything about what you intend to do! Perhaps you don't have all the skills required to be successful with your plan! This card is your encouragement that the time is right for you to push yourself .. trust in your desires and ambitions .. if you don't try - you don't get! Be brave and make that first move.

So hope those of you who attended Richard's Reading Room yesterday had a good time .. no doubt you will tell me all about it! Bet you can't guess where I'm off to today .. just for a change!! 😁 The doctors' surgery!! What joy!

QUICK SHORT UPDATE: Morning! Again thanks for all the kind messages. I'm not where I hoped I would be with these problems .. have been to GP again this morning for new tests and wrist is still strapped up with a continued need of pain killers! I have had to make the decision that I will not be able to attend Northampton at the weekend. I'm gutted, but just not well enough to cope. However, anything I have promised folks that I would take for them will be there! I've sent a parcel to Tarot with Michelle and she will have everything with her. I was so looking forward to this event having missed the last one when I was rushed into hospital in September! It's only June but I'll be glad to see the back of this year. So hope I can get back into the swing of things soon!

Just a quick note to thank you all for your concerns and kind words. This has been a difficult few days with such intense pain I don't have the words to describe it! I got to the stage where I just didn't know what to do with myself and would have been quite happy for someone to have cut off my hand. Yeah! That bad! However, I think the corner has been turned and pain level is down to that of annoying toothache which just Paracetamol will deal with. I did manage a good sleep last night. I will see the doctor again on Monday and see where we go from there. Hoping to be back with you all very soon to see what the cards have in store for us. Thank you all for thinking of me.

You won't need three guesses!! No idea how long this is going to take.

I have Monoarticular arthritis. It is inflammation, pain, and swelling localized to a single joint. Right wrist. Saw doc at teatime yesterday. He said I was unwell and this is a direct result of e.coli infection. Can't have anti inflams so has prescribed a topical cream. Strap it up and rest! Pain is off the scale. Hope to be back with you soon!

Good morning Tuesday .. dubious looking day outside! This will be short .. sprained wrist! Pain! Yesterday GP took over 11 hours to issue prescription for E.coli infection - pharmacy then shut - so still no meds! Speechless!

Our card for today is the Ace of Wands! I could suggest a few people for whom a new concept might be a good idea!! Say no more!! Today's opportunity is showing up as the chance to create or start something new .. especially in the department of your ambitions, passions or something which really motivates you. Grab it if you get the chance!

Off to collect meds at 9am then back home to dose up on painkillers! I will not be beaten! Have a good day .. see you tomorrow!
