Week! DH has the Biggest Boil in the Universe!

[BaconAndAvocado]

It's very red with a dry head. Best way to get rid if it?

He couldn't get a doc's appointment today.

(Sorry for yuckiness !)

Do I need to have a bath in dettol? Tights to the bin? What else...she hurts all the way up to my hip.

Put a good handfull of salt in the bath, and some tea tree oil if you have some, and have a soak - that should draw any remaining yuck out. Then put a dressing on Beryl to protect her

thepathan I haven't laughed so much in ages!

corygal many congrats on demise of Beryl. Edward sends his condolences.

New years resolution will be to learn how to put photos on t'interweb, I'm so sorry for my crapness. Would love to share Edward in all his swollen, grey glory.

Thank you CMOREBeryl! I feel miles better with the loving arms of MN, or at any rate your gloriously comforting sense, around me. Will do.

Bacon - good luck with Edward, hope he gets to a better world soon.

Can you let us know what Edward is made of, if you're there at the end.
It really is the least you can do. We need to sound effects, and the colours of Edwards inards.yes i am that depraved.

You lucky, lucky bastards

Where is Edward?

Me and DH are laughing so much that Edward may very well be on his way to a better world soon, through guffaw induced bursting (here's hoping!)

If Edward does meet his maker (DH?) in an explosive way, I promise to post all the revolting (sorry Ed) details as soon as I can.

any update?

Aieee - Beryl (RIP) has a twin! I have just found her. Same size, popped up overnight. Next to Beryl.

Any advice? I can't take a picture of either little miracle. Unless I use a Box Brownie, geddit.

I heard the faintest call of the Klaxon! :)

I'd LOVE to do the milk bottle trick. One day.....

I might try it on the new boil. Oh woe. Why are all my milk bottles plastic? Blast and drat modern life.

Hmmmn. What comes in a clear glass bottle?

nagoo - I might try the olive oil bottle. Am limping round kitchen looking for bottles with diameters large enough.

Will report back tomorrow. Sleep well! And thanks....

Hi all, Edward was much reduced this morning, waiting for him (and DH) to get in for an update.....

Ooh...

I'm watching Rolfs Animal Clinic atm, and they've just drained a 20 litre abcess on a bull. Rivers of pus !

Oooh I might email Rolf and ask him to come round for Beryl II...

CMOT - dyou want to direct?

I'll be round with the camera . Although after the trauma of DHs boil a few months ago, I'm not sure if I'm ready

I've got some sad, sad news.

Edward is no more. In the end the anti-biotics got the better of him.

He will be sorely (ouch!) missed by everybody who knew, to knew of him.

Edward is dead, Long Live Beryl II.

GOODNIGHT SWEET WINCE, MAY FLIGHTS OF ANGELS SING THEE TO THY REST.

Well done Bacon. Cmot - Beryl II will wait for your talents, the way De Niro does for Scorsese. In your own time.

Oh no!! Edwarrrrd come back!!.

No! How! Is it time for antibiotics? What he doing?

Where Edward once lay there is now a sizeable hole! It goes from bad to worse (sorry Ed That Was)
