The mint plant lives! Today will be spent probably listening to the dulcet tones of the budgies and feeling a little bad for not letting them out whilst I play video games and use the tv screen rather than handheld mode. I would let them out but I'll probably need OH to make dinner, so a whole day's worth of cleaning as well would be unfair. Maybe they can have a quick wing stretch when he gets home though. Noted. I will move things a single item at a time if I have to move them at all. Hezz Yes mum

Ira, you must place the weights on the lifting bar *one at a time* before you begin weight training. Safety first!

Ahh... that makes sense. I've been doing it wrong the whole time! Of course, when I do weight training it is hit or miss as to whether the polos make it onto the matchstick at all!

🤣 Ew, gross!
(As if that's at all gross compared to the grossness I have experienced since Friday, yet it still feels like the correct response.)

A nurse finding things gross after all they've seen might have been surprising to me but for an experience I had in A&E some years ago. I had an infection develop under my right index fingernail which I ignored over weekend as I was going out partying and didn't want to drink and take antibiotics. Come Monday the throbbing and swelling was epic. The doc in A&E took a scalpel to it ... and jumped back screaming as a shower of blood and pus sprayed him from waist to collarbone. And the smell - Oh my Goat. I've never seen a doctor recoil like that, it was almost funny. My finger is still slightly misshapen to this day, the fingertip is twisted at a slight angle.

Nauseous on and off from the antibiotics, but no headache today and far more awake, so pretty good overall.
I have an appointment with the consultant who did my surgery tomorrow so that he can take a look at my wound.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Really hope the wounds are all behaving, but especially the infected one. Is it drying up? Have you tried peppermint or ginger biscuits for the nausea?

I hope that all passes soon. Once you don’t feel sick, everything feels better.
Good luck with the consultant
