Tales from The Pit

[denny]

Just thought I'd post one of those "Hey look, I'm still alive" kind of posts. Leg still hurts, although apparently not as much as it did a few days back as I'm taking a lot less painkillers now. But that evens out to me being in the same amount of perceived pain, so it's no more fun, just mildly reassuring when I stop to work it all out.

I had the cast removed on Monday, because it was aggravating the various bits of delicate skin under it, including both the skin graft and the donor site for same. The skin graft is bleeding quite a bit now - it had to be re-dressed on Monday when the cast came off, I've had it re-dressed once already (yesterday afternoon) and it's bled through the new dressings again by this morning. Also the donor site is bright red again, and blistering in places, when it had healed to a fairly healthy pastel pink before the cast. So I'm a bit narked about that, considering I wanted to talk my way out of this cast business before it was even done, and they didn't give me the chance. Still, at least the consultant didn't give me a hard time about removing it - as soon as I listed the problems it was causing, he told the other staff that it had to be removed, then after a brief discussion with me, agreed that it could stay off as long as I was "very careful". So plenty of laying around doing nothing for me then... which was pretty much my plan anyway.

That said, robinbloke is coming over this evening and if I'm feeling up to it, we might venture out to the rather good burger place in the SnowSlug near MK shopping centre. Depends how much I ache really, but those burgers are pretty good - I might just load up on painkillers and go for it anyway  ;)

duranorak has been looking after me during this period of inactivity, so *big kisses* to her. I would deliver them in person, but she's downstairs working her way through my entire collection of Buffy videos in some odd order that she's chosen... probably based mostly on how much Spike appears in each episode  :)

Oh yeah... I'm back to my KoC addiction... make me an elf?

~mwah~

Yes, that's pretty much the order I'm watching them in. Spike++

I'm not watching the *entire* collection. What would be the point of the ones without Spike in?

And you can always bang on the floor if you want to kiss me, you know. I'll show up sooner or later, once Spike's not on the screen any more. He says he really loves me...~grin~
