I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I was reading an article on http://www.news.com today written by Bob Hart who is a staff writer for the Herald Sun. The article described his attempts to live without the accoutrement’s of the hi-tech world to which he’d become accustomed. I’ve never met Bob, nor am I ever likely to, we live in different worlds. … More Life without hi-tech?
The toe hurts, as you’d expect, but I’ve been ‘back on my feet’ most of the day (on and off) so am a bit weary. Though I’ve done a bit of clearing up and tidying, I’m still not making any attempt to drive, and don’t intend to until either I’m sure the toe bone has … More Back on my feet again.
Rellies brought the daughter home. She seems ok really though is still wearing an ice-pack and bandage. I don’t think she needs a doctor, but we’ll wait awhile before finally deciding… but it isn’t as bad as it sounded when the nurse described it – luckily. 🙂
I was just completing the previous post when I received a call from the nurse running the Sick Bay at the daughter’s school. The youngest had fallen in the playground playing ‘tip’ and had badly twisted her ankle. She was given some treatment consisting of ‘elevation’ and an ice-pack and sent back to class. However, … More My life is a soap opera.
Over the weeks and months this blog has changed slowly from being ‘news oriented’ to being virtually a virtual online diary. I suppose circumstances made it so and I can’t see it changing much in the near future with things as they are. C’est la vie. The current focus is still of course the injury … More Opinion? Hardly.
Good question. The wife is insisting the kids can go to school tomorrow by bus and she’s suggested mobilising the niece and nephew, asking them to collect the kids so they can go to ice-skating. This is a possibility but they might not realise just how long they need to stay there! Still, if the … More And tomorrow?
I suppose there are worse predicaments to be in. While it’s true I’ve not walked very far from my bed today in deference to the doctors wishes and the wife’s orders (:)) and have been bored at times, things could be worse. I’m sitting here watching the cricket on the laptop, and surrounded by the … More Things could be worse… probably.
When I left hospital they gave me a load of drugs I had to take. Paracetamol, Cephalexin, Oxycodone, and Diclofenac. I took a dose of each last night before sleep and had no ill effects at all, but when I took them again this morning it made me feel absolutely awful. Having looked up each … More Still here.
There I was on Wednesday morn full of confidence the worst of this was over… and then the jinx took over again having had yet another laugh at my expense. Thursday morning I got a call from a doctor at Westmead Hospital. The person who’d assessed the x-rays the previous Friday had passed them up … More What a difference a day makes.
Just an update. Went to the docs yesterday after giving the toe a good clean and some new dressings. She says it all looks ok and it’s recovering well. What’s better is that she seems to think I’ll be able to get back to the gym next week… which is a good thing! Have to … More From here toe eternity.
