French toast, that sounds very sophisticated - round here we call it eggy bread.

yeah its probably closer to eggy bread, but i always called mine french toast to be a smart ass.. actually french toast is a little different and usually a sweet.
i just dip a slice of bread in egg with a touch of milk and salt/pepper, and sometimes something spicy and fried til egg goes brown. also i often cut bread in 2 and fill it with marg, cheese and whatever and put it in pan til cheese melts. makes a lovely change. i dont really eat bread tho now as im a little allergic as i am with lactose milk. you can get bread without wheat tho, but its mostly crap.

Yeah gluten free is like cardboard. Your eggy bread sounds so much nicer than ours - I suppose you only get out what you put in.

Well I suppose it had to happen.

This afternoon I was working on an upstairs window, and i fell off the ladder, about 3 metres. Or rather the ladder slid away with me on it. Got a rather large gash on my left shin ("Is that white bit a tendon?" "No I think it's a bone") So a trip to A&E. Was able to drive my van as it's an automatic.

Four bloody hours there, including tetanus jab, (third jab in eight days) clean inside the wound (that smarted a bit), and an x-ray (no fractures ) All the staff there look fresh out of school. The radiologist looked at my outer calf muscle and exclaimed "Wow, what's happened there?" "Nothing's happened, that's my shape" Ok I know my shape generally won't get me on the cover of "Men's Health", but really?

Mrs. P met me there, and told me I was very brave. Didn't get a lollipop or a sticker though.

Anyway, after tomorrow I'm holiday for a week. Which is just as well.

Three and a half weeks later, and the injury is getting worse. It's gaping, red all round and smells wrong, in spite of all the antibiotics. Took myself down to A&E at 7.30 this morning, to try and get on top of this. Got seen a lot quicker, had another X-ray to see if the infection has gone into the bone (I'm told that is not good), but X-ray couldn't confirm one way or another.

So now I'm off to A&E in Preston, where I will get to skip the queue and see some orthopaedic doc. Who may do some intravenous antibiotics and look at surgery options. Wish me luck...

What's really bothering me is the extortionate hospital parking charges. They must think I'm made of money.

i hope they can get to bottom of it steve and get it fixed ... doesn't sound healthy..

[Firebottle]

Good luck Steve, that doesn't sound good.

[Macca]

sure the vet will fix it Steve, can't be the first time it's happened.

Got to Preston A&E at 11am, saw the orthopaedic guy pretty quick. Turns out the bone is fine, which is nice. Then I just had to see the plastic surgeon, or rather him see me. In the meantime a nice lady took some bloods, what for I do not know. But I did get a sticker with a bear on it and the word 'BRAVE'. 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
