Dollymopp needs a massage…
MORE pain today, went to see an MA qualified lady at the therapy rooms of Neal’s Yard Remedies, and she confirmed what I’d read online. Recovery could be over a year. YES, really. I just wanted to cry!
I do have enough money to live on if that has to happen, but I pray that it doesn’t. Positive point- I have lots of books to read as yet.
(Weird coincedence, she was the spitting image of an escort named Tinkabelle! I thought..oh my god, is it you? But she didn’t look like she recognised me..but a ‘separated at birth’ moment for sure)
Went for my last dentist visit this eve, so now have amazingly perfect teeth at long last! It’s ‘only’ cost me about £10k, aargh. And about that again, in me having to cancel bookings…! Oh well. Being fit for me/my boys is more important.
I’m a dreadful dental patient, I’m yelping and squirming all over the chair, I’m awful. On my records I noticed that they had written ‘nervous patient’ on it. It was worse today, because I had just been told that my shoulder condition is serious and near impossible to treat, (most people have to stop work for good) so I was particularly upset. It was all too much, and I burst into tears in the chair! The dentist thought he’d really hurt me! But it was really all about the shoulder pain. So I told him, and he and the dental nurse were both hugging me and she went to make me tea for later! It’s absolutely throbbing right now, has been for 3 days, it hasn’t let up for a minute. I can’t sleep very well, all I do in the dark silence is concentrate on the intensity of the pain. Painkillers are futile, and I don’t want prescription ones, I fear of becoming addicted to codeine etc. You hear stories! Most people say that even very strong painkillers don’t alleviate the pain of FS anyway.
I’m at the very first stage, the freezing, and this is when the pain is at the most intense. And it is, I tell you. This can last for 2-9 months. Then comes the restriction of movement stage, the frozen, and supposedly the pain lessens a little, but you cannot move your arm at all. GREAT. I kept shaking, shivering and tensing up, she told that my body tissue is in very new shock/trauma from the sudden onset of this. She was really good, talked me through everything that she was doing. I was a bit more mobile after, but she warned me to not get too gung-ho about that just now.
Later, after the dentist, I met up with Bacchus (boy pal from the escort chat forums) for dinner, and we found a brand new pub opening. Unbeknown to us, the bar and food was free. We didn’t take advantage though, as we are fair and nice! One bottle of wine, sausage and mash for me, fish and chips for B. I was a numb jawed miseryguts of course, and B has just lost his father and had a birthday in the same fortnight. (I’m allowed to say here) But we still had a good time, I love him, he’s a real friend, 4yrs now. We ‘met’ on Punterlink, and then in a real life non punt situation! He’s like my brother. We fight and argue too, but know that by the next day, it’s the past. He’s a very decent, very intelligent chap, and I’m very lucky to have him as my friend. He’s got no designs on me, no agendas.
I can’t bear the thought of Dollymopp no more, could I be a disabled escort? Got myself an appt at www.frozenshoulder.com clinic at 4pm tomorrow. £65 a pop, but I would give ££££’s to be rid of this pain.
Also, much thanks to several gents mailing me with solutions, some borne of personal exp, be it of themselves or of relatives.
Am going to be trying all of those too. The very well regarded equine massage in Somerset is of particular note and interest.
But roll on tomorrow…let’s see.

Just had a read of the frozenshoulder website, it does sound awful, D, but I really hope it won’t turn out that way. All joking aside (other comment) your personal health and welfare are the main thing. x

Being a reader as well, you may have hit the jackpot. Do take care of yourself, and heal properly.

Hopefully it will clear up and the pain will ease. Sending you massive healing thoughts and hugs xxx
