Had a lovely lie in – first one since arriving back home. Then had a GP appointment to find out that I have "Extensor Tenosynovitis" in my right thumb, which was triggered by gripping my steering wheel for too long a period on my Norfolk trip. I have not been able to grip anything at all or use my thumb to press anything either, which has been very frustrating. I was advised to apply Voltarol gel and massage three times a day and to wear a futura splint when needed (I have one of this splints already from a previous injury).
Back at home I cooked brunch. Lots of usual birds in the garden. Fell asleep on the sofa and then started amending and editing my Norfolk Trip report which I had written daily whilst I was away – this is now finished and published (scroll further down to 31st March) and just need to add some photos. Heavy rain here now late evening. Storm 'Dave' is on the way! 🌬
