Easter

Finally got to see my Doctor, the hip thing is soft tissue damage.  She's given me some anti-sickness medication so that I can take anti-inflammatory meds which should help and I need to speak to one of the physiotherapists for some rehabilitation exercises to help things along.  I'm relieved it's nothing more serious, although we're up to thirteen weeks now so I'm really ready for it to be completely better so that I can get back to normal and stop taking so many painkillers.

Called in to see Bee yesterday, it was Good Friday and she had fish for me.  Part of the conversation went like this;

Bee; Guess what's on this afternoon?
Me; Jesus of Nazareth, The Robe, Ben-Hur? (All are her favourites.)
Bee; Ben-Hur
Me; Is Jesus actually in that one?
Bee; Sort of, you see his shadow and you see his hand when he gives Ben-Hur water.
Me; Can you believe he's still alive?
Bee; Well he's not physically alive is he but he's...
Me; Not Jesus!  I know he's not still alive!
Bee; Ohhhh
Me; And he's been married for about 80 years already!

I didn't even know where to begin with this.  I'm nowhere near as deeply religious as my sister is but did she really think that I thought the actual Jesus was still alive... in his original form?  Still, she's a keeper, she's always been a great big sister and it's too late to swap her now anyway.

Then of course, I later realised that in fact we both have some kind of Alzheimer's as I'd confused Ben-Hur with Spartacus and Ben-Hur is actually the amazing Charlton Heston and not the amazing centenarian Mr Kirk Douglas.  I do the same with The Great Escape and Escape to Victory, whenever either of these classics comes up in conversation, I have to ask; motorbikes or football?

P.S...

P.S. I Love You was on TV this week, which only served to remind me of my perpetual disappointment that Hilary Swank was cast as Holly from my favourite book of it's time.  I used to sit in Starbucks and openly  weep as I read each chapter and then they made the film and no, I did not weep, did not laugh, did not emote anything.  No offence intended to Ms Swank, but she just wasn't my Holly.  What were they thinking I wonder?

Happy Easter Col x
