Welcome friends, Romans, bumders. This is the spot for all my personal musings and random trash that doesn't fall into the fiction category. (Which the Starscream Collection is now for.)

Huzzah!

Now, go steal me fresh jams.

Today: 6 Month Checkup

So, I had to go all the way to Derby hospital again today for my 6 month checkup to see if my operation worked or not. I got there in time, as my appointment was for 11:30am.

I waited an hour in the waiting room until I was finally told to go wait in a cubicle for the consultant. It was another hour before I was finally seen again! Gah.

I was expecting to see Mr Russell, the guy who did my op, as this is who I was told I would see. Unfortunately, it wasn't. But, at least the guy had a sense of humour. He had a look at my scar and asked how it'd been and gave me the thumbs up to start using my arm properly again. :D

Then I mentioned my right one, he prodded about, felt my nerve move and got a bit grossed out (Amusingly) and buggered off to ask the consultant if he was happy to do surgery on it! So, now I'm back on the waiting list to have my other elbow done!

Who knows, maybe I'll be fixed by the middle of next year. <3

Stitches and Itches

OK, ta to Nick for letting you all know about my progress.

I'll be online on and off now, as I healed much quicker than I expected. I was actually pretty much healed up by the 4th day. I had to have my wrappings done twice and my inner ones done once in the last two weeks. Bloody idiots can't wrap for shi... ncups. O_o *cough*

Been so damn itchy!

Other than that, I'm just glad to be free of it all.

OK... WOUNDAGE TIEM!

[The odd browny yellow is iodine from the iodine patch that was part of my dressings, the blue is the pen the used to mark me up, the reddish squiggles are bruising from the clamps and anything else is probably dry blood.]

With that out of my system, I can carry on.

As for usage, I can't do much for at least six weeks now. So, I'll not be doing any commissions, but orders are welcome so long as people are aware of the delay.

Operation Date

Finally got a date for my next lot of surgery.

17th of may.

So, I'll obviously not be on for a while afterwards.

If you want to contact me, the best bet would be emailing my brother at [email protected]
