People are strange, well maybe not strange so much but so caught up in the constraints of polite society. Every single nurse, doctor, anesthetist that crossed my path this weekend started the conversation the same way…. “So, how you feeling?â€
Â
I just friggen broke my wrist, how do you think I feel????
Â
“Fine thanks†is what I managed. Too damned polite for our own good.
Â
For those of you who don’t read Wouter’s blog – I rather gracefully fell out of the land rover and with an almighty thud landed straight on my right wrist. I’m blaming my socks, I suspect everyone else is blaming the nectar of the gods. I did however manage to break it in grand style so much so that the doctor came in on Saturday especially to operate, put in a plate and every thing.
Â
[for the record this short post has taken me about an hour so far]
Â
The staff at Constantiaberg Mediclinic were lovely, I have no complaints other than those already mentioned in Wouter’s post (blowed if I am going to type more than I absolutely have to).
Â
And for those that haven’t yet had morphine and want to – DON’T the stuff is foul.
Shame girl – sorry to read of your mishap. Hope you’re not in too much pain, and that you’re sorted in no time. At least now you have reason enough not to cook for a while *grin*
Oh you poor darling, hope you feel better really soon. I agree morphine is revolting. Look after you, actually no, let the family look after you for a change. I bet you were pushed out of the landrover, a Lady like you would never just fall over.
‘Specially Ladies that don’t drink bubbly before bed … *grin*
Well, I only heard of this late afternoon today! Very unfair as we could all have been worrying and asking one another: “So have you heard anything yet”. Shame on you. The will is being changed as we speak – you will be inheriting all of your mother-in-law’s cookbooks one day!
Hope the Land-Rover didn’t get hurt. That’s my harvest vehicle, remember ;-)
I got pethadine for my amputation, not morphine. :D What’d they give you to take home?
