My Body is in Pain

I am about to spend a few moments groaning and moaning so if you don't want to hear it just go to the next paragraph to see what we did today.

For a relaxing weekend I would like to say that I feel like I have been run over by a truck. (Or in England, a lori.) On the best of days I can be full of aches and pains but honestly, tonight I am hurting. I will not go to a doctor over here to have my shoulder checked out because I have seen the hospitals here and they all look like something left over from Medieval times. My shoulder is sore from the fall 2 weeks ago and just when it starts feeling better I reach for something or jam it and it "pops" into a very painful spot. I then have to smack it on a wall to make it go back to where it should be to get the pain to stop. Sounds like fun doesn't it. But I can and will live with this. The bruise on my thigh is now the size of a dinner plate and slowly turning green and purple, rather than black and blue. And then to top it all off, my back is giving me twinges. Tomorrow I will make a call to a local chiropractor that a friend of Bridget's uses and see if I can get an appointment to get some of this checked out.
I think a chiropractor will be safer than a doctor but I'll let you know.

Today, being Sunday, was church day. Back to St. Edwards and a nice mass.This week Abby went to "Children's Liturgy" where she made a flag that said "LOVE". She did a great job and was very proud of her work. After mass and a light lunch at home we put our bathing suits on and drove over to the Windsor Leisure Center. This indoor complex contains a large gym, a lap pool and a water park complete with 2 huge water slides, a small lazy river, a wave pool, water falls and water spouts plus an area for little kids. Abby is not a little kid so she went right for the water slides. The one slide is "The Shark" and is very fast. That is the one Abby loves. These slides are huge, 5 story drops filled with twists and turns, partly enclosed and really quite fast. Abby talked me into the "slower" slide and I thought I would die. (Plus it really wasn't a good idea for someone with a sore shoulder !) But I had to try it out for myself and I am glad I did.
We only spent about 2 hours there but now I am ready for bed and it is only 7PM. What the hey . . . I'm going to bed and lie there and read for a hour or so. We had a good day and will be finishing up week two in England. We are also looking at tours of Scotland for a few days once K&B return from the Ukraine. I'll keep you posted on that.
Good Night for now.
P.S. No pictures of the water park because Bridget says they will not allow any pictures to be taken inside the complex. These Brits are really up tight and stuffy over the stupidest things. And then on the flip side they drive like idiots on the wrong side of the road. Go figure!
