    Bah :(

    The letter says i get an interview to see if i'm right for the placement.

    Dr was worse than rubbish. Said because i'd had an x-ray there was no point having another, so proceeded to poke and squeeze my wrist while i squealed and said it hurt. He then said "Ah so it's still quite sore" YESSSS, I TOLD YOU THAT!!

    He gave me stronger painkillers (that don't have any effect) and gave me a number for physio in case i wanted it - it costs £25 an hour :o

    He just didn't listen to anything i said. Now my wrist hurts so much more and i don't know what i should do *sigh*

    I have a Google ad that says 'Difficulty Climbing Stairs? Think Stairlifts!' I think it must be a response to Red saying "every day activities seem such an effort because of the pain".

    As it's her wrist that's in pain, Google's suggestion is pretty useless though (unless she usually goes upstairs doing handstands), but I suppose it's the thought that counts...

    Perhaps your wrist needs x-raying again if its still painful. How did the doc squeeze it and hurt you if its in a cast? Did he squeeze the cast? If your doc is no good go to the hospital and tell them your fingers are numb.

    It's not in a cast, it was just in a sling for a few days afterwards. The Dr's at the hospital just told me to keep using it like normal and take paracetamol.

    Then, after two weeks when it was still too painful to do anything, i went to the medical centre. That's when i saw the stupid Dr who squeezed my wrist.

    My advert is for 'Vitabiotics' :confused:

    I'd say you have a hairline fracture Red..perhaps too small to show up on the first X-RAY..I'd get another x-ray (or two) from different angles.

    I have a fracture of one of those joints in the wrist (from .. ahem..punching a plaster lathe wall ).

    Its usually fine unless I squeeze my right fist a lot (wringing out a sponge/clothe for example)...then its hurts plenty...but only for a little while...so I don't do that. :)

    Was it your scaphoid bone Jonny? In fact Red, if you fell over and put your hand out you could've fractured yours. Pete did that when he was knocked off his bike once - they often miss it on x-rays and have to take it from a particular angle. Tends to happen when the thumb is pulled back. Its located just behind the thumb in the wrist.

    Didn't realise it wasn't in a cast - your doctor is out of order for squeezing it. And he can't tell if its broken like that either.

    The two local high schools have a catchment area. The dividing line for this goes through our village, we are on the wrong side of the line for the school generations of my family went to.
    It is the original Grammar School, the other one was built late 1900's to cater for the expanding population, it was upgraded to a High School from a Secondary School under a relabeling scheme. Same as the Polytechnics are now all Universities.

    Broke my bed last night!!!

    Sat on the edge, and there was a loud "Crack".

    This is an IKEA bed that they replaced after I had a lot of trouble with the slats falling through.
    Replacement had extra stability to prevent that happening.

    It felt stable so I didn't look, just climbed in and went to sleep.

    Examination in the daylight showed that the side had broken in two!

    Spent today pinning a piece of two x one across the break. It seems OK. Tonight will tell....

    THanks CC - couldn't remember what it was called! Knew it was TK something-or-other but that wouldn't fit on the sign so I suppose they changed it to Maxx!!

    O.k I am a bit lost so help me up to speed .
    Vickie- I did not know you were on U tube !

    Silly hen ! Why does your dad hate chickens? Does she really do any harm when she is in your garden?

    chicken chaseing is a sinful bit of fun . I think every one who has had the chance does it , not out of wanting to hurt them. they just make such a racket! naughty and thoughtless I admit.

    It was sweet of you to shoo her back in to her yard.

    Posted By: frogdust Why does your dad hate chickens? Does she really do any harm when she is in your garden?

    It's alright frogdust, my Dad doesn't hate the chickens, he'd just rather they didn't eat all his cabbage and broccoli leaves. Some of the hens used to fly over every day, run across the lawn and tuck into the contents of his veg patch.

    He thinks that if he chases them they'll learn that our garden is too scary to visit (and eat my neighbours' veg instead).

    This is a rant on behalf of my neighbours' hens, who can't type.
    Mr Next-door has finally had enough of them ruining his veg patch and is making a roof for their pen. So no more flying about and roosting in trees. They're not going to be happy...

    My grouse for today is my accident yesterday.

    Scalded my arm reaching over the coffee for the milk.
    Held arm in running cold water for 15 mins and then sat with bag of frozen peas for over an hour.
    Watching and waiting to see the skin bubble up and slough off.
    It didn't!
    Hurt a lot so took pain killers.

    Amazed today to see it all intact but very red from wrist to elbow. Feeding the skin now in case it's all delayed action....

    I'm thankful it was real, Fair Trade, Java Lava coffee and not that Nescafe rubbish...

    Did you knock the coffee over your arm Ollie, or was it the steam off it that scalded you? Burns are so painful - it sounds like you got away with it thanks to your prompt treatment. Hope you feel better soon. xx

    Note = I keep these frozen peas in a plain polythene bag so they don't get eaten after a few thawings. They live there for medical purposes and are, as you say, just as good as the commercial product and a darn sight cheaper.

    Med report = Arm not as red and skin intact.

    Not really a rant, more of a whinge / observation: my dad is taking ages doing the cleaning, me thinks just so we have to go on a shorter walk (we only have half an hour's walking time!) I may make him go on the longer one, but just force him to run around it! :D

    While I'm hear, its not a rant its a "life's so unfair" complaint.

    My friend's rat gave birth on Friday night - 2 days late, a long time in a rat life - but all 5 were dead. Another of her rats is really poorly with its breathing and might have to be euthenised today, and her disabled neighbour's dog had to be put to sleep today. It had lung cancer. She had previously had an op to remove part of her lung, but it came back with a vengance. So sad.

    Well, the rat wasn't euthenised - the vet has given it antibiotics. I don't think he's provided one that's strong enough, but that's up to my friend to argue. Her mommy rat has survived too and there isn't anything stuck inside to poison her, so that's a bit better.

    Rant; my parents phoned me at 8pm tonight, but i was asleep (have been asleep from 12:30 until 11pm :o ) so didn't pick up the phone. Mum asked me to call back but i can't now, can I? She sounded serious, now i want to know what's going on... :(

    Still, if it was anything really serious, I like to think they'd keep trying or send me an email. Wonder if Lottie has given birth?!
