Oh dear, you have been in the wars today what with the thick lip too Much sympathy winging its way to you xx

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 17:12

thanks mrsfish!

i was a tad embarrased booking in, as i do still have a fat lip with a bruise down the middle, they were giving me very erm... 'interesting' looks. I'm sure they were wondering who did it!

Mum said Izzy kept the rest of the waiting room well entertained though. She was playing peekaboo with an elderly gent, and then singing and pulling her shoes and socks off. she went and gave one of them to a lady who was being sick.. bless her, then this man sat next to them that mum had met a few months ago, and done hid mothers funeral. so she got chatting to him, and izzy rubbed his leg which was up on a chair with a dressing on it. mum was very proud at her granddaughters bedside manner. i darent tell them what she's really like when weilding books and choc coins!

thanks again mrsfish, much appreciated ( like you had any choice )

SCMP, ouch!

I suppose you already know to keep it elavated to reduce the throbbing pain, it needs to be higher than the level of your heart.

We always tell patients who have undergone hand surgery to keep a cushion or pillow at hand and when sat or lying, to place their hand and forearm on it. (It's also useful for keeping toddlers at bay

Jahan · 08/01/2008 18:04

Aah poor you, Susie. It sounds very unpleasant. Mountains of sympathy heading your way.
I've been a rubbish parent today. Have hardly done anything with ds's. I got fed up with ds1 making me read the same book 4 times and told him to get another one but he got upset and sulked off. He's ok now - having his dinner infront of cbeebies while I'm feeding the baby here.
Apart from dh's for 2 hrs yesterday, I've had no adult company for the past 2 days and am really tired with interrupted sleep and housework. Sorry for the moan. I'm usually upbeat but today I feel a bit fed up.

mylittlepudding · 08/01/2008 18:32

Oh, Susie! What a nightmare you have had today. I am so glad you have your mum to help - like you say, you could hardly do anything if you really don't move it. I hope the painkillers knock you out for a bit later on.

I have walked loads in the wind today (bus problems). Am starving now, wish DP would hurry up and come home so I don't snack and can just have my tea.

Polly (and everyone) - do you think the crumpet diet would work with potato cakes? I could maybe do that...

My good news is...
I had 6 glasses of water, and only 3 diet cokes. All day. And one strong coffee so I didn't withdraw from the caffeine. Maybe I can do this???

mylittlepudding · 08/01/2008 18:33

Jahan (just read properly) - I'm not surprised you are fed up! It is hard sometimes. Often, even. Can you listen to a reasonably intelligent radio programme? Sometimes I find that helps

katylessbumpy · 08/01/2008 19:01

There's a pile of chocolates in the kitchen cupboard calling me-am having some healthy chips instead-had a stressy day too , really tempted to glug back some wine but trying to keep that saturday night only from now on!

katylessbumpy · 08/01/2008 19:59

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 20:27

ooh susie bet the flat looked like the set of a horror film! like izzie's mini-me nursing activities (when not doling out wounds...) Glad your mum let you have a break...not the same as a cuddle tho' is it? Will one from me do??

mylittlepud potato cakes would prob be better than crumpets...no little holes for the spread to ooze down....but it does depend on whether they float your boat enough to satisfy you....

Jahan...i know that feeling so well! i used to throw a load of cusions and pillows in a pile in the front room and leave child to clamber whilst i withdrew either to the kitchen (for a bit of radio 4) or the hall for a phone call to a mate....this was before i knew about mumsnet or that might have been on the list....sometimes you just need a break and a bit of adult contact don't you?

congrats to all who doing well, plug on to the rest!

today
brekkie...porridge
lunch.....tuna salad panini and cappuccino
eve.......veg risotto, 2 bits of garlic bread , some pomelo...never had before, like a cross between an orange and a grapefruit

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 20:32

wooga, shout the little bu@@ers down until they hide their shiny heads in shame in the cupboard...

discoverlife · 08/01/2008 20:38

Oh, Suzie poor you.
As a helpful (not) tip for changing wrigglers: Rope, and lots of knots, they will eventually get out, but by then you should have an arm or leg in the right hole. Hmmmmm! really though Im not sure how to help on that point. Anybody with bright idea's. All I can think of is a contraption with velcro straps, not very practical though.

katylessbumpy · 08/01/2008 20:45

discoverlife well done on your 2lb weightloss let's hope the rest of us foolow suit

mrsfish you put me to shame with your excercise

discoverlife..well done,hope we can all follow suit
everyone else hello
we didn't get to the trafford centre.there was a crash on the motorway so it was on a go slow.heard it on the radio before we set off so decided it would be best to leave it.
good job really as dh went to get his tyres checked and it cost me £160.there go my online bingo winnings up the swanny again

weigh in day for me tomorrow,is anyone else nervous?

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 21:37

thanks everso much all you lovely laydeees

feeling incredibly sorry for myself. the local anaesthetic has totally worn off now, and the pain is really awful. despite keeping it elevated, it is throbbing and stinging so much. my fingers are very swollen too.

polly thanks for hug, i do need one so much from Mr C. he's called 3 times from Sunderland, just wish he were here.

Mum brought Izzy home and stayed for a while. Finished the washing up, got rid of broken glass. Put Izzy to bed and we had a cuppa and a natter about my big sis. mums upset and worried, as am I, about her.

katy there are crashes on that motorway every day, its a night mare. shame you didnt get to trafford center.
i wish i were coming up to manchester, but i've a friend coming tomorrow until saturday. TBH i dont want her to at all. Its not often DH home in the week, and he's back thursday, and i'd rather it was just us here really. there are plenty of weeks when i'd love the company... typical hey infact, im dreading it. the only positive i can see now, is that she can help with isobel now! trouble is, she's just returned from a round the world trip, she's not even seen isobel yet, so i can't put her off really. i want to see her, but not when Dh is here. dont know what to do about it, nothing i can really.

god, i've gone on and on again, and missed you all out again. so so sorry for sounding so selfish. i really am i needed a vent.

As for weighing in, i may as well... can always blame any pounds on that i dont want, on this bandage and swelling

katylessbumpy · 08/01/2008 21:41

susie thats what we are here for x

OP posts:
pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 22:03

well susie, do you think you lost at least a lb of blood? the only potential silver lining i can see....

i don't suppose it will help but let me talk you thru the bargains i found in TKMaxx today ...on their clearance shelves: big wooden fire engine with moving ladder £2, postman pat post office £3, big Hama beads sets £7, a village on a playmat £3, a theatre and puppets £5 a huge geomag £10 and more....have filled my present box up again ....it's like painting the forth bridge this present buying malarky

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 22:18

they all sound fab! i need a pressie box, when i've got a little more organized again. TKMaxx is great for it too. Trouble is, i get things and have people in mind when i buy them, and end up just giving them to them when i see them. i'm terrible for it!

thanks katy. i just feel i do a lot of venting and not much helping back,it makes me feel bad. i don't mean to be selfish though.

shit this hand is getting so much sorer i think i need to stop typing tonight and rest it back up on the pillow.

bugger bugger, shit, bolloxs and damn, my bloody clumsiness. so cross with myself.

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 22:23

susie, type with other hand and put bad hand on top of the monitor?

thread title that maks me giggle in for sale, looking for a screw on the table (my mind obliterates the rest...happy that somebody wants one !)

hope you don't have too bad a night susie

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 22:25

ps re pressie box
a) i'm a meanie
b) it all goes straight in the loft
c) it's too much hassle to get it down on a whim

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 22:34

i'm still here. I'm afraid the ice-cream is going to get it. i think i deserve it tonight. it might even make me feel better momentarily.

I have 5 fat sausages which used to be fingers on my left hand

That thread made me giggle too... cannot believe that was done innocently, surely???

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 22:41

well it certainly got my attention

susie the only way that ice cream will be good for you is if you plunge your hand into it!

(but you have had a bad day after a restrained week......)

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 22:43

night night sweetie pie xx
