The RICE principle of injury care

 The Shockwave

Life changes

Meeting Svitlana
The RICE principle of home care is rest, ice, compression and elevation, this is good if the joint is in your arm, keeping it above your heart is easy. For me, it is almost impossible, my injured joint is my left knee, the right knee could be possible to elevate above my heart, but for my left knee it is a major task.
Fortunately, as the nights are closing in, the injury doesn't intrude on my plan to meet my friend, Svitlana.
While some men may find a lady willing to ralk about sex from the opening of a friendship as off-putting, I am not one of them. I did find it odd, she was so willing to chat about sex, and share intimate photos from the start, but I didn't see it as a threat.
For me, if a relationship is to flourish, both partners need to be open to talk about what they wish for.
The main reason we get on well is we "clicked" from the start, I'd had contact with older ladies on SoulmateMeets at the time, but I never felt anything more than distant friendship. With Svitlana things are different, I won't deny living in the UK is a plus, as many of the other ladies are in the USA.
What matters is our contact, we find chatting easy, and free from restrictions. One lady in France, who thought she had the opportunity to make a connection, went too far too soon. She was talking about taking things to the "next stage" when I hadn't established "this stage."
