Since I did the marking for the IB exams back in May I've been aware that all has not been well with the trapped nerve at the bottom of my spine. The period of time I can stand without obvious pain was brief and is now non-existent. I've also completed taking the medication I was last assigned and I'm not due to see the doctor for a couple of weeks. This means that those two weeks, and the weeks beyond frankly, are likely to be not just challenging but, gulp, highly challenging.
It looks as if I'll be living defensively for quite a while. In the meantime I comfort myself with the idea that things could be worse. I might have been born an Arsenal supporter.

I guess getting pains in your leg and back are the job hazards of being a teacher!
Hi Lucas. Sounds logical enough - but I suspect my travails are the result of an over-extended career in football (if kicking a ball around for a pub team at the weekend can be termed a career) and attempting wonderful things on a squash court well past my sell-by date. Attempting marathons didn't help either.
Heh, Arsenal supporters are made, not born (or at least that's what old Arsene would have us believe).
You need some time in traction, or that nerve is just going to get worse, you know.
Should you ever pay a visit to the big hospital up east, let me know.
You mean the whole Arsenal thing isn't some kind of genetically inherited disability after all? People have a choice?
Thanks for the heads-up re the big hospital!
