After both my carpal tunnel ops, I was in plaster for six weeks!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Whilst under local anesthetic having a hand op some years ago, I decided to lighten the mood in the theatre by cracking a joke.
'"Will I be able to play the piano in two weeks, Mr. Consultant?*" I asked
He looked over his glasses, gave me a withering look and asked, "Do you think it would be the first time I've heard that joke?"
We passed the rest of the op in silence.
*The joke was supposed to be him answering yes, to which I make the oh-so-witty reply, "Well that's bloody impressive, as I can't play it now!" Ba-doom...tish.

Mines a bit simpler I think - just the plate out of my leg. But I guess he doesn't want me to ride until the holes have filled in?!! LOL

Re: What have you done today thread?
During my second carpal tunnel op, I commented to the surgeon that I was really pleased with the first he'd done because the scar extended my palmistry 'life line'.gremlin wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 9:23 am Whilst under local anesthetic having a hand op some years ago, I decided to lighten the mood in the theatre by cracking a joke.

He replied that his only concern was making the incision in the correct location.
With hindsight, probably not the best idea to distract someone who has a knife a scissors next to a bundle of nerves

Re: What have you done today thread?
That reminds me of the one I tried to crack when the missus was giving birth, whilst she was getting an internal examination I jokingly said “this reminds me of the last time we went through customs at the airport”……….it didn’t go down wellgremlin wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 9:23 am Whilst under local anesthetic having a hand op some years ago, I decided to lighten the mood in the theatre by cracking a joke.

I caught the dr out with that joke 20 years ago when I got the bone graft.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Went to the valley with a mate. On the way back we stopped at his garage to pick up the bike stands and wheelie stool to take to my garage. Got to mine and thought, smells of petrol here.
Yup. The sodding Monster has dripped the full tank of fuel onto the floor of the garage. Luckily it's very dusty on the floor, so it's mostly in one place.
But. FFS. Instead of tomorrow being the start of tracing why the left foot peg vibrates so much under acceleration, it will now be to try and track down where the fuel fell out from It's not the bit immediately under the tank cos thats dry. So, somewhere in amongst all the engine stuff there's a leak
Royally peeved as I just filled the tank with extra expensive fuel from the station up here AND, I am not convinced I have the skills

Re: What have you done today thread?
Seen the surgeon for the follow up.
Turns out it was him who did the amateur hour cast...
He's happy with progress, asked me to move fingers & wrist when I mentioned physio "You don't need any"
So back next Tuesday for stitches out & on the bike by the following weekend.

We heard a massive explosion earlier. I knew it wasn't thunder and was slightly concerned. Turns out it was a controlled explosion in Camden, of a ww2 bomb! It was fecking loud!!

Re: What have you done today thread?
The last English in resort is leaving tomorrow (ok, not the last one, but the last one that I socialise with!! LOL). So, he had to go to the valley to get the dog sorted for the trip back to the uk and I got a lift down. While down there we went to my mates pasty shop. Haven't seen her for ages and expected to only be there for a quick coffee.
But it was quiet, so the dog could come in with us and we were there for ages Now chilling at home
Going to be weird now - no transport and no English to chat with!! LOL Well, a friend that has a cafe up here speaks fluent english, but her cafe isn't open till June!! LOL
I foresee a lot of cross stitch in my future! LOL

I can assure you that there is no such thing as a controlled explosion.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Does the controlled part refer to the nearby population?
