November 22nd 2010…
Thank you for the inspiring comments posted on my site over the past few days… Glad you guys are enjoying the “trip” as much as I am right now…!!
What I should be doing tonight, is writing the post I intended to about my trip to Pafos and the visit to Aphrodite’s Birthplace, Petra Tou Romiou… It was another beautiful ride down an amazing piece of coastline, AND, I have the pics to prove it…!!
How do you describe standing on a cliff top in the early morning sunshine, and looking down over this scene...??
But, the post will have to wait until tomorrow, as I have a slight problem which is making typing a bit of a botheration…!! My right elbow has gone from bad to worse, and today, wearing a nervous grin, I reported to the local medical authorities to inquire whether they had a spare elbow lying around or not…
Answer: Not….!!
So, first the chiropractor had a go at repairing the troublesome joint, using various methods of torture which included acupuncture and an attempt to push his thumbs right through my forearm…!! He then advised me that my elbow was but one problem he had identified during his initial examination…!!
His final verdict: The worst case of Hypochondria that he had ever seen…!! I think he meant to say Tendonitis, but that’s the way it came out… The two afflictions are very closely related I am reliably told…!!
But more about all this when I can type with two hands again…!!
After my visit to The House of Pain, I then got the bright idea of taking a 240 km ride down the coast to visit yet another archeological site that had somehow escaped my earlier attention…Â “No Pain, No Gain” must have gone through my mind before I set off….!!
Not the cleverest move I have made in recent times…!! My right arm now hangs down next to my right hip, and refuses to obey my instruction to the contrary…!!
Tomorrow, if the ice-packs, Biofreeze and stretching exercises haven’t had the desired result, I think a bit of cortisone might come into play, and as you well know, this involves administering it with a long sharp instrument whose name we shall not mention…!!
I’m off to bed, perchance to have a nightmare or two…!!
Later, Dudes…
Run, GB, run!!!! That sharp instrument is not meant for humans – I am 100% behind you – I will check our specials in our local newspaper today, I’m sure they will have a sale on elbows!!! You know this time of the year, you can buy anything at a reduced price!!!!
Get better sooooooooooooon!!!!
BIG kisses

We know how you feel about them needles, but if you want to continue your journey painfree, then I’m afraid that sharp steel instrument is needed. Your back and elbow need some TLC and most of all rest from Big Fella and your loving laptop. Chill bro, chill…..
A good jab in the elbow will give you the motivation to move on without complaint. Hope you feel better soon !
