Thanks Grant, 'tis indeed. And Mrs. P stayed with me for the entire 9 hour wait, bought me a 12" sub for me dinner, and kept me calm as I'm not the most patient of patients. She reckons all men are wusses when it comes to pain, but I have a sticker that proves otherwise :)

I wore that sticker with pride for the remaining 7 hours I spent there, as I only got to see plasticman at 8,45pm.

Anyway, he reckons the infection is minimal and gave it a good clean and re-dress, and sent pictures of it to someone more senior. I'm off back on Wed. Then we'll see :)

Hopefully you'll good as new soon!

Thanks Geoff, but I have never been good as new, so it's not going to happen now... I'm going to look after myself better from now on. Some would call it 'risk averse', I don't care, I just don't want the A&E experience ever again if I can help it.

There was one bloke, had cerebral palsy or something, in there with his carer, looked like he'd fallen face first from his wheelchair. From 11am until about 6pm he didn't go anywhere, the carer constantly mopped the blood from his mouth, as did the changeover carer at 4pm. I would call that poor guy a priority, shocking really.

Well I'm hoping that it doesn't last, it'd be nice to meet up at a NEBO or something one day. Might even buy you half a Mild :)

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with state retirement age? A friend's wife reckons for me (I'll be 65 on New Year's Day) it'll be 66. I had assumed it would be 67 for me. And how much is state pension these days. I'm quite keen to get onto a five day weekend asap :) but I could just about cope with another 12 months of things as they are.

Currently my most worn t shirt
