Taking over my bed!

Soup


This liquid is called 'soup'. I know this because it's there written on the menu. It tastes like boiled grass clippings. I kid you not.

Getting better

So much for high drama. So much for my chance to be featured in the Hallmark Channel movie-of-the-week. Looks like I'm getting better.

The swelling has gone down, the pain is much lower, and looks like I might be out of here soon. I have to finish the antibiotics, which are all intraveous :( so who knows when that ends.

Doctors still don't know whats up, they want to do more blood tests. You start taking blood to see why I'm getting better and you know that's just one step away taking blood from random passers-by to see why they're not sick. I bet some doctors would love to do just that. "Excuse me sir, but..." *JAB* "OW!"

I'll post more when I know more.

Ultrasound blobs


...revealing very little.

Do you know how hard it is to get a mobile signal in the radiology department?

Meanwhile at home


Alex tried to push the couch out of the way using his backside as leverage against the lounge room window. His backside won.


Alex wasn't hurt, luckily.

Nice view


On the 8th floor, out my window, overlooking the cemetery.

More data

Now that I have the laptop and wireless bband set up, (instead of just mobile phone) I can give a longer explanation, although I'm restricted to one-handed typing.

Friday night I was leaning over on my wrist after filling some of the cracks in the kitchen floor with wood putty, and I felt one of those tendon 'twinges' that people have every so often. I thought nothing more of it.

Next day, my wrist was sore, but manageable, as long as I didn't pick anything up. Sunday it was still sore, but I still manafeable as long as I laid my wrist still and didn't move. Monday it was time for the emergency room.

Nobody could tell what was wrong - I have had two doctors and two specialists look at it now, and at the moment I'm under observation and being filled with more antibiotics than a red rooster chicken.

And there we leave the story until more information appears. Tune in to the rss feed to stay up to date.

Inside Don's house. I don't think the furniture is there anymore.

What a disaster! I can't believe this has actually happened.
