mild arthritis

I got my results, I was down seeing the therapist last Thursday, she said I have mild arthritis and that it wouldn’t get worse than it already is. If this is mild I would hate to see how severe is. She told me to do exercises, and told me to keep taking the painkillers at night, not that they are doing much good, for the pain. The pain is from my hip, then down to my knee, then down to my foot. So I have the pain in 3 fecking places, there is pain, and there’s pain. I’m abit in pain, when I walk down to the shop, but coming up again, it starts and I have to stop a couple of times. So, basically I’m fecked and will always have the pains, unless I get a painkiller that works or something else.

Wear and Tear

Wear and Tear…I have been having pains in my left hip, knee and foot. I thought it was sciatica or a trapped nerve. So, I called my doctor and she referred me for a x-ray, which I got done last Wednesday. So, I rang her yesterday and the results came back, she said it’s wear and tear in my hip, and that no surgeon’s would operate. So, she gave me another painkiller to take, I hope they help, as the pain can get very intense.

Acid

I’m listening to Oldskool Acid on di.fm it’s a very good radio station, they have a load of different music to listen 2.

Depending on what I’m listening 2, and if I have Photoshop open, and I’m designing something, listening to different music makes me create different designs.

I’m going to install InDesign tomorrow, and have a go at it. Apparently it’s for creating like magazines and newsletters etc, I’m thinking it’s more like DTP (desktop publishing) the last time I done that was about 30 years ago. And Adobe After Effects also looks cool, that’s for making videos or movies or games, animation’s etc. So I will have a go at that next week sometime.

DesignStream

I was going to create an account on www.deviantart.com and I forgot that I had an old account with them, called www.deviantart.com/designstream

I had uploaded 7 design’s that I created over 13 years ago. So, I have added 4 of them to My Designs page.

I couldn’t find the Photoshop magazine here locally from the newsagents. And I would have to venture into town (scary). So, I found it on Libby and I can read it from my phone (yay).

All for now…

(never give up)

Going mobile

That’s what I love about WordPress, I am able to sign into my site from my phone. So if I’m out and about and I have a idea for a post or something else, I can use my phone and update my site.

I would recommend WordPress to anyone, who is building a website. It’s very easy to use, and there is millions of themes out there, that you can use for your site.

It takes about 5 minutes to install wordpress, anyone can do it. And some web hosting services are charging £40 to install it for you, which is ridiculous. You can do it yourself and save money, well that’s all for today.

Stay happy…

Freezing out there

I had to go down the falls road and pick up my prescription from my doctors. It’s -3 outside, we have some frost here and the snow has melted, but I think more snow is on it’s way.

On my new mini pc it has windows 11 Pro installed on it, I would say this is the best windows (Operating System) yet that I have used.

I have a laptop with windows vista on it, it’s about 15 years old. I can only surf the web on it or watch movies or listen to music, it won’t run any games.

That’s all for now…
