That was the wrong answer. I should have said...."it sounds like you already have".
But I didn't.

Good to hear the patient is feeling better.The patient is a lot better today thankfully, sadly, the guy in the adjacent bed seems to be deteriorating rapidly
Been another stressful day really, mostly caused by the builder. They were working on my balcony today. When I saw them arrive this morning, I went out to speak to them but the boss seen me coming and jumped in the van and drove off. The guys left behind were only told to lift the small part of the concrete that was breaking up and patch it although I wanted the whole thing relaid as the concrete is of poor quality, mostly sand and will continue to break up.
I phoned him and told him this and he told me to **** off and hung up. I challenged him about it when he came back and he was his usual rude self and insisted it was normal for cement to break up after two years, I haven't a leg to stand on legally as I accepted it at the time and he can't be held responsible for normal wear and tear. He said it was my own fault because I hadn't cleaned up the leaves that had blown down and he might sue me for the repair.
Nothing I can really do unless I try to take him to court but I don't need the stress or the expense. I normally would never wish bad luck on anyone but I actually hope there is still a leak as he will be forced to fix it properly.I wish I'd never bought this place.
It's not normal for cement to break up after two years, if it's only foot traffic that's using it. Even if it's a heavily used area, for foot traffic.
The fact that he departed post haste when he saw you, proves he's aware of that. Places I worked on in the 70's have their original cement floors, intact.

Think you need some focus. BayOfE is not a Friday night activity.
I know it's not normal but probably not much I can do it about it.

I paid somebody to poke a hypodermic needle into my big toe today. It was an offer I couldn't refuse.

Through the skin or the nail?

Though the flesh halfway up the side of the toe.
The stuff with the nail came minutes thereafter and cost more money. I had the tools to attempt it myself but I didn't have the anaesthetics.

How'd you do the damage, and how bad is it?
Pictures not required.
Last time I'd a hole put through the toenail, they'd to do it with no anaesthetic.

No, it wasn't a haematoma under the nail. I had one of those when I was a teenager. Blooming horrible. You deal with those by jamming a red hot needle through the nail to let the fluid out.
