  Caloo calay, oh frabjous day - the bandage from hell is gone, as well most of the hair on my leg. I can now see the places where I was cut and the strange little marks where they pulled the vein out in a Clive Barker version of join the dots. It was a strange mixture of extreme pain and blessed relief when it stopped. The bandage has been replaced with a stocking - I now feel like urlLink Belle de Jour and to complete the picture I am currently blogging via wifi from a table under the flower decked pergola with a nice glass of white wine.
The best bit of the day was sinking into a hot bubble bath to wash away all of the surgical disinfectant, bits of plaster and dried on detritus of the last week. In other news, I took Alicia to the dentist for a check up on her brace. No problems, and she's to go back in three months time for another check up. Hardly worth starting world war three for, was it?
