Going to bed at half 12 and havnig to get up at SIX makes for cranky hellison.
Spending THREE FUCKING HOURS sat in the waiting room of the fracture clinic to see the doctor for FIVE MINUTES makes for Very Cranky Hellison. Seriously, he spent longer out of the room explaining my leg to the medical student with then than anyone ever has explaining it to ME.
Although he did tell me that the reason it still gets so painful is that I also damaged a nerve, which is 'firing excessively'. And to just take painkillers and keep walking. Thanks. At least I know I'm not just a big ole' wuss ;p
He also cunningly spotted that I still have a limp, which I explained was due in part to the shorter leg, as explained in the letter at the front of my notes which he HAD JUST READ. BAH. Still, don't have to go back there!
On the plus side, did manage quite a bit of walking over the weekend, before pain (and whinging) kicked in. Also, watching the guy from Dancing on Ice blub like a baby when he broke his cheered me up immensely, for *I* did not cry, and mine was WORSE. HAH! (ok, I may have hyperventilated for an hour and been in shock for a couple of days, but I didn't CRY).
And now, having got back to work, apparently I have to be 'work shadowed' by the latest work experience child, because as usual, nobody bothered to organise anything for them to do. So they'll have a fun afternoon watching my type as I fume inwardly at not being able to email people or waste time on t'interent.
So all in all, we have EXTREME CRANKINESS ALERT here.
*goes to mutter and sulk inna corner*
