Hope no one’s eating…
They’re going to bring on on the maggots, so it’ll be a week or so of that, then back to the vac dressing for another week.
What fun.
Then a reassessment…

Maggots or leeches do work very well, I am told. But what a complete bore and nuisance for you! Much sympathy here.

Oh That sounds horrible
But they do work and are much gentler than surgery

Flippin’ 'eck, joe.
I have seen both maggots and leeches employed. I spent a memorable (very early) Christmas morning trying to coax a leech from a pot - recalcitrant little bugga it was, too.
Sympathy from me, too.

Snorkissimo, Gus! It wozza memorable Christmas Eve/Morning, as we had spent hours re-planting a patient’s thumb and the surgeon decided that we weren’t sufficiently knadgered and would enjoy the challenge. [Sound of violins] I got home at about 02.30 and was back to w#rk by 07.30.

You have my sympathies.
It’s not the procedure that’s the problem for me, rather the worry that they seem to be making it up as they go along; I’ve already had surgery and the vac, remember. Now they’re talking about leaving the larvae on for a week then putting me back on the vac for a week after that. It just seems like there’s no end in sight
Oh well - nothing I can realistically do about it, so I suppose I’ll just have to put up with it. Doesn’t make it any less boring in here, though…

Totally dire. I do hope that you are still desperately infectious and having to be in your own annexe rather than the disease-ridden main body of the place.

Indeed! And if not, a despairing cough or two might do no harm.

Yes please, Fishy
I have been waiting for a 'phone call from our Practice Nurse, so haven’t been out today
No 'phonecall
I 'phoned the Surgery & they said that she had gorn home, & that I wasn’t booked for a call today
Sigh
There is a Noo member of Staff who hasn’t quite got her head around the system…
Not life-threatening, but abit annoying
Joe, my brother had his vacuum boot on in Orsepiddle for 7 weeks
His problem was Diabetic Foot

I am unworthy, joe.
I must now attend a DCC meeting and will regard the inevitable boredom of this as being well and truly leagues behind being stuck with maggots for company. Pore you.

A bluddy curse, but you could coach her, mayhap, Carinthia? It’s a tad too hard to bear, tbh.
I survived the DCC without snarling, but I am sleep deprived, Darling - and, I growled at one point. Bees have their limits, y’know.
Mine have been reached.
Good nights, all,

Gin, Darling
The Surgery has had building works going on since February, so no parking for patients & a certain amount of chaos inside, as virtually every area has been affected
I have just walked up the road to try to clear my head abit

Good grief Joe.
Properly making me think the Irish health service is as bad as ours … & from someone in Wales, believe me, that’s one very low bar.
Is this the result of discussions with Waterford ? That could become a phrase in it’s own right. Move over ISIHAC.
