Dear Left Calf,

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that this isn't like you. It's normally Right Calf. But, I'm afraid, it is still unacceptable behaviour. I am aware that it is a beauitufl day out there; as you may recall I actually glanced out the window to check. However, while doing so I also noticed the time, and decided more sleep was required. I require more than six hours to really appreciate a day like this.

Why, then, did you feel the need to force me to fling myself upright, hissing "ow, ow, ow!" and trying to dig my fingers into you deep enough to make you realise your mistake? How could it in any way have helped your agenda? Really, did yourself no good, since if it is painful to walk I'm really not going to be spending much time in that sunshine, am I?

Perhaps you should have consulted with the tickly cough before you made your plans. Perhaps you should have considered the lasting affects of your excruciatingly painful cramp. Even another hour would have been appreciated.

Really, I hope we never need to have this discussion again. Once is more than enough. Now, if you behave for an extended period of time (and I choose the period, you have forfeited that right all together), I may buy some sandles to decorate your end. If this happens again, I may well take you to the doctor, and we don't want that now, do we?

Love
Me

(the point here being I was woken from my doze by an extremely painful cramp in my leg. This happens occasionally, but I think it happened a few days ago during my sleep too, which is notna good sign. It indicates a lack of something, so I'll be going to pick up that diet sheet now, because I have a horrible suspicion it's calcium, which when you're offdairy products becomes much harder to get enough of)

Ouch! Bad calf!

I have sometimes wondered if a lack of calcium might have anything to do with my knee problems. Do you know what else we need it for except healthy teeth and bones? Is it involved in joints at all?

I think it is. Talking to the doctor about my diet a while go, she pointed out that we still need almost as much calcium as we did as kids, but most people don't get it. I'm going to go nad get this diet sheet today (which I should have got last week) and see if it mentions symptoms as well as treatments, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, it does. Cool, thanks for telling me. I'll start making an effort to drink Frijj (sp?) again.

Ouch!
Leg cramps are the worst.
A nurse once told me to take a couple "shots" of tonic water for leg cramps.
Apparently it has quinine in it, something doctors often recommend for leg cramps.
