That may answer my question from a few comments ago, but it wasn't the answer I was hoping for.   

I'm really sorry to hear that, Gary.

Perhaps it's time to seek some professional advice...?

I'd prefer not to go to a doctor's office, but if this keeps up I will have to.

For social isolation, covid-19 reasons, I assume?

Are you able to ring your doctor, and at least describe the symptoms?

Yes... and yes, I can call if I decide I need to, but he always tells me he wants to see me... every time.

No, I don't think so, and certainly not for a sore neck.

The nurse in my doctor's office phoned me early last week, asking for my permission to pass the results of my blood tests from the end of February to the Diabetic Clinic. with whom an appointment that had been made for me to visit on 24th April had obviously been cancelled. The same nurse rang me back late in the day of the 24th, to say that the clinician in the clinic was more than pleased with the results, and for me to continue with my standard medication.

The nurse also told me that the doctor's surgery is still open, and stressed that if I needed to see him to give his office a call. What she also said was that I would have to also ring from outside when I got there, and to wait outside, as currently they are not allowing patients to wait in the waiting room.

All sounds perfectly sensible to me.

My biggest worry is what would happen if the doctor got infected. We often don't realise just how essential healthcare workers are, what risks they must be facing at the moment, and just what this may be doing for their own mental health.

Hey, Bertie.       Two days ago, it was cold and gray with freezing rain. Now it's 69F/20C and the sky is clear and blue with nary a cloud, and a soft breeze is playing with the new buds on the trees. I spent the afternoon planting my garden, and took a walk to the park (while observing the proper social precautions). Now I might cook hot dogs over a bonfire later.

Looking great, Marty! That's going to be a nice garden.

It probably hasn't, Albert. The old woman who it belonged to is dead for about ten years, and was ninety years old when she died.

But it's good, rich soil, with plenty of roots and worms in it, so it seems healthy enough.

Just real hard work turning it over this time, after probably not having been properly tended for 25 years or more!

But it's a labour of love, and I'm enjoying myself.

I assume you mean the wall, clo (not walk).

It will, indeed!

And it's a south facing wall, so it is facing the sun. Something I'd like eventually would be to build a lean-to greenhouse attached to that wall...

It looks a nice size and the dark soil appears rich should grow some nice things.

A south facing wall should allow an earlier start next spring. Are your winters mild enough to overwinter cool weather crops if you have a sheltered space?

What have you planted.
