Stitches out today

 I get my stitches out today, these are the ones where my bicep tendon was repaired, the other 3 incisions were keyhole so didn't need any.

There's been a bit of a mix up as I said i'd get it sorted locally, but got a request to go back to the hospital.  I asked them to cancel it but they haven't so canned the one at my local gp practice.  Hopefully it'll all be good as i'd like to get rid of the plasters covering my arm and get a proper wash.

Proper physio starts this evening too.  I'll be sure to take a few ibuprofen before hand as I have a feeling it's going to hurt. 

Phew

 It's been 3 weeks since our last d&d session and I even missed this one.  Kind of glad I did...  We faced 9 dragons of some description or another.  Yikes!  We're up to level 18 though!

Pancake day

 April normally does American pancakes for the kids but this morning I made English ones (French).  I could have made anything as long as the kids got to cover it in sugar and they would have liked them just the same.




The last one turned out to be more like a beholder.

Spot the dog

 Arwen coming to say hello when i'm having lunch in my office.  What are you up to?  Who me?  Just sniffing...




Once she got busted there was no point hiding.  Even Josie joined in.  Greedy animals.


Mouse trap

 Arthur brought this home on Friday, they had a school fair for charity and this was what he chose.  It's surprisingly still intact.  I never had the game as a kid.  I didn't miss out...



April's valentine gifts

 We were supposed to make the roses ourselves, but the kids muscled their way in.




Lasagne

 April cooked this for us on Saturday.  Only one word can describe it really.  Triumph!




Lone sock

 Poor lonely sock left on the coat rack at the rugby club.



The return of zombie arm

 This was the state of my shoulder / arm on Saturday morning.  Nice and green / yellow.  All going well, I went rugby training witht he kids yesterday morning in the mud and rain.  Didn't do much, other than stand around and get wet though.  Bit by bit, i'm getting better.  I'm booked to get the stitches out of my bicep on Wednesday now.  And seeing the surgeon a week today.  I need to sort out a physiotherapist this week but waiting to hear ack from theb insurer first as pretty sure they'll pay for it.

You rang?

 A friend bought me this to aid with my recovery.  I don't dare use is with April.
