swelling and green gunge.

[lynda66]

no, but there was only the one doctor there, and no nurse (emergency surgery) ..... i'll nip to boots tomorrow, and get some, gotta go to town to meet the OH off the train, so he'll buy em lol ..... hospitals miles away

just found out i'm driving too, cos to get to the place we're going will take 1 1/2 hours by public transport and it's only 5 miles away, so no chance of getting drunk lol.

[lynda66]

I was thinking along the same lines as you Shirley. A&E may want to x-ray it too just in case the joint is damaged.

i was there 6 hours last time i went with my toe for x-rays, and it wasn't even busy ..... no chance of getting home before 3am on a friday night lol...... i think the joints ok, it don't feel broke lol.

How's the knee doing Lynda? Been meaning to ask but never seemed to have quite a long enough spell sat down at the pooter to search out the thread

[lynda66]

it's gone kinda shiny and red the green gunge is better, now it's crusty green gunge lol can almost bend it properly now too

[HotStuff]

Lynda, having seen your legs, it would be a crime if you lost one, so please take care.

Bernie aka DDL

[lynda66]

it's still scabby but thankfully not green any more .... i'm so dying to pick the scabs off though lol ....... much better at bending now too, and i can poke it without squealing

[allotmentlady]

oooooh dont pick em............i feel sick at the thought lol

[lynda66]

sorry i hate having scabs and not being able to pick them lol, think it's like biting nails, but i grew out of that ...... and you get much better scars when you pick em

[Comfreyfan]

That's why most of us still have scarred knees from when we were kids!! My mum used to make a tent over my poor knees with a stool so the sheets wouldn't stick to them overnight and I can still remember crying, sitting in the bath in my pyjamas in the morning, trying to get them unstuck! Which is why I was always really nice to my kids and bought those lovely (but expensive) non-stick dressings if they needed one.

[lynda66]

lol, i got non stick dressings too, unfortunately i still had to get in the bath to soak em off in the morning ....... did you know, they do special knee and elbow plasters now with cartoon characters on

[stephenwithap]

dont go down the anti bs route didnt they cause you problems earlier on this week

[lynda66]

well yeah, but it's made my knee better, and actually seems to have cured my earache too
