todays shenanigans included a visit to the podiatrist who confirmed damage to my feet and calfs. The feet is reynauds disease causing blisters( chillblanes) on my toes ( painful little buggers so they are ) which hinders my walking. Also had my leg bandaged up with compression bandages hopefully to get the blisters on my legs sorted.

the calfs apparently may be caused by my back so its a MRi scan to check it out.

Two months ago everything was tickety boo, very little pain and the fatigue wasn't that bad, legs and toes were good then bang, just to remind you , behave . was down to 2.5mg now back to 5mg press to see if that is ok.

Is this your punishment for supporting the clarets?

I used to travel to Deepdale as a teenager to watch specifically Tom Finney. ( one of the very best).

When my mother in law died Sir Tom rang to speak my husband, I felt giddy about the whole experience. What a lovely man he was.

A real gentleman, and very talented. Don’t think they make ‘em like him nowadays!

I know how you feel, but you must have enjoyed Kompany’s first season in charge, if not the second!
