(no subject)

Had an exciting start to this morning when, while tentatively putting new foot to the ground, the crutch slipped and I discovered quite dramatically that stupid ankle really can't take any weight at all and I ended up in a rather undignified heap on the ground. No real harm done, other than it swelling a bit, and giving the poor mother the fright of her life when she heard the crash.

Anyway. As it is now four months since I did this, I am sick of having nothing else to talk about and am thus declaring this week 'Don't Mention The Leg' Week.

The weekend went rather swimmingly really - Friday night chilled out with wine while watching rugby and so on.
Saturday was really very exciting as I got to go OUT to [livejournal.com profile] _unhurt_'s birthday party, which involved heated debate over the eradication of smallpox, the relative merits of leprosy over TB, Dolly Parton, Hayseed Dixie, Greatest Country Hits and the Sham Wave - leading M. to declare as we left that it was "the culchiest party I've ever been to in the city". Which is quite the compliment coming from her ;)

I did wimp out and leave early-ish, as the trek to The Bathroom of Unhurt was a bit to Everest-like for me, and there were no sherpas on hand. I did get a Guard of Honour as I left tho. The bastards.

Sunday was a lovely lazy day in my own house, with a long lie-in, eating junk, mudding and watching rugby (not such a highlight), before return here to laze some more.

Today, I should really do some work.

HAI.

I have decided to substitute the word 'clotiros' for your leg.

Dear Hellison.

How is your clotiros? I hope your clotiros is not too sore after that fierce banging you gave it in the bathroom.

Sincerely,
Thesme.

Oh it's a bit more swollen, and it went all red, but it's calming down nicely now with a bit of rest.

Oh it's not nearly as swollen as it was when I was in hospital, tho I am still having trouble finding anything to fit over it.

That's such a pain! When it's uncovered it gets very sensitive!

I think she's enjoying it

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... and people don't seem to like looking at it when it's exposed liek that for some reason.

They got very squeamish at Unhurt's party when I got it out.

I am powerless to stop her alas!

Well, being archaeologists, they're only used to dead ones.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
True. Some of them got particularly squeamish when I mentioned I'd had staples in it, for some reason.

It will nice when it is fully healed and you can support your whole weight on it.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It will! Tho that's going to take some time and quite a lot of practice I think ;)

No way - you're like Romeo and Juliet, Saphire and Steel, Mulder and Scully - Hellison and The Hoff!

She was VERY mean to be doing that. It's still very delicate!
