the recovery

[Speicher]

The strangely most thing was, that I could still drive with my finger in a splint. But I had difficulty putting on socks, and could not tie shoelaces. Nor could I use a fork in my left hand at mealtimes. Admittedly being girly, tying knots in shoeslaces is not a skill that I find easy at the best of time.

Come of it Speicher old girl. You are a tough cookie to have stuck things out this far. Clobbering yourself with a ladder would qualify you for bragging rights in male company, there again practically anything would!Most chaps would have gone for a long lie down followed by several portions of 10 year old Malt.
The Sun Bronzed Geek God is obviously speechless with admiration for someone who is:-
a) More badly injured than himself. and...
b) Has taken over 1000 posts to mention it, instead of whinging on all of the time! and...
c) Is person of the female persuasion. So showing him up for his girly whining about a slight leg injury repaired with a Junior Carpenters Kit by the local surgeon on the kitchen table with a couple of Japanned Black wood screws and only needing a small leather strap to bite on.

I am still waiting for finalment of his plans for further recovery in the Byjamas or the CarryBean.

My passport is up-to-date, complete with odd-looking photo. Packing my small suitcase would not take long. My injury is not severe enough to prevent me from fetching Mark drinks, and steak pies.
If we choose a large steak from the me and u in the rest star rant, he might have to cut up the steak for me.

welcome to the slight infirmity club some one ells has discovered the Haynes plot that is socks, the left one in my expireunc can be very entertaining, like small pox or plague.
i only keep people informed of my disablement as they keep asking! as you know we hardy yorkshire men would never even mention a minor thing like loosing a arm or leg "hi bill bit of a nasty cut you got there!", "what, this <bill holds up badly mutilated hand> naa just a scratch this".

it is amazing how many people put chrimbo doecos in the loft still covered with chocolate* , we will be getting a lot of callers next week when the annual trip in to the loft week begins; they get up there and find every thing nibbled by mice.
tomorrow is forecast to be windy so i will have to see what the morning brings before deciding what to do i may have a extra day of the cat making three days in a row though i did ten miles on the hand bike on two of those days.
*i suspect speicher may consider this sacrilegious.

i have the presentation all ready and have been rehearsing in the mirror all week, the doctor is of a dark complexion so i will deliver it in a thick Jamaican accent to connect with him, would blacking up enhance this do you think?

You need all the help you can get SBGG and I gather the healthcare in HMP establishments is less than perfect. Give this one a miss young cur. Imagine how you would feel if a softy southerner tried to emulate God's own language in God's own County? You'd bury him to the neck in Ilkley Moor and sing him to death with t't National Anthem.

All stand and wring flat cap in hands!

Nah. I've never seen you without it on! Try something different like dressing up to look like a human being.

i have discovered something done some research done a bit of thinking and got creative*


you know when you can feel a pain but it sort of is in a very specific place but not! well the last week i have been getting that; now SOBDS sudden onset bone death syndrome is not one of your glamorous illnesses you don't see a lot of people running the London marathon in aid of research in to SOBDS, so it is not that well understood, but i must admit to being a bit worried right now, with my bone densety the chances of a hip replacement working are slim to nil
i only walked about a bit in one shop today and could hardly make it across the car park, this cant be good.


* don't tell any one ok, this is strictly a need to know, hush hush, careless talk cost lives thing; but i took some of the wipes we use to test for drugs in night clubs** and made a visit, to some toilets that are reserved for cirten people! the wipes went very blue now some one ells is visiting one day next week how should find this very interesting.
**you wipe toilet cisterns ect to see if some one has been chasing the dragon on it, they start to turn blue if there is a trace.

it is hard to find clothing to fit me m&s top man ect don't do SBGG there clothing is cut to fit mere mortals, with scrawny legs and lacking a fully developed man chest and arms.
the sleeves are always too short, cuffs tend to stop 2" from my wrist; slim fit denims that fit my rippling thy muscles have 36" waist, i am now a 32 1/2" waist.
the short fat dumpy people get all the best stuff.

As a SFDP myself I can assure you they do not. Trousers that fit your waist come with an extra 2 feet of leg that needs to be hacked off and thrown away.

no no no this is extravagant waist! take some old car inner-tube and glue/sew on to the extra leg bit and you are getting free shoes, they may wear quickly so you could use old car tyre tread in stead good for 30,000 miles.
or i could sew the extra on to my shirt cuffs, there is a idea for a web-sight there, like the one for people with one foot bigger than the other that have to get two shoe sizes.

Why not keep the hacked off bits to patch the remaining trousers? Or if you bought two pairs of the same trousers, you could make some shorts?

Yo Cosmoindustrialaction,
I see that you are not only striking, but marching on Wednesday. Is this a responsible attitude? Beware sir,your legs may give way.
