Today is going to be the very last day before I go back to work.
The saga of the elbow still goes on, to some extent, but I will cover that later. But, as I type this I have already seen the Hospital Consultant (Tuesday to be precise), the GP (less than an hour ago) and also the Boss (yesterday).
Bar the visit to the Physio this afternoon, I'm back at work tomorrow.
How do I feel?
Do you know - I don't really know.
I'm bored at home. There is only some much you can do, and then guard your arm. There are only so many episodes of City Hospital you can put up with.But going back to proper work?
I shouldn't feel nervous, but, to some extent, I do.
Not frightened, nervous.
The elbow saga continued ....
As I mentioned above, the saga (if saga is really the right description) goes on. The Consultants' House Office took this particular Clinic. He checked the operation and wound site. Move the limb. Flexed the elbow. Asked the questions.
He checked and then advised.
All was now well and the operation had been completed successfully.
I did find out, however, that the discomfort may well carry on for a few months yet. Everything has to settle back to something like normality, so the Doctor did confirm what I already suspected. The elbow will ache and "twinge" for a wee while yet.
The discomfort level will diminish over time - but we will have to see.
UPDATE - Smudger strikes again - he "saves" his draft text, thinking of coming back and completing it the same day, to find that he finishes his missive several days later (this is being finished off on Sunday Morning).![]()
Well just a couple of quick observations:
