debris4spikeAs I said, I went to the hospital yesterday ... they said that the swelling is decreasing, and considering how large it had been then it was not a surprise that it was taking a long time.
I have been given exercises to do, and around the house I need to stop using the splint, and just use crutches ... next week I need to start getting around outside on crutches, as well.
I have been signed off for another month from now ... so it's frustrating, but at least this way I will hopefully get a good strong leg again.
Although this is my second trip in less than a week, there is always something new I spot. They change things around in some of the displays ... but even without that it's always good to see what you can spot. This trip with Brenda was great ... here are a few of the things I saw this time -
Sweetmeat Glass, 1745
Riding Coat, Mexico, 18th century
Portable Shrine, India, 1850
Leather Fire Buckets, 1795
Italian Harpsichord, 1755 (always strikes he hard as this stands next to the giraffe!
Gourd, decorated with human mandibles, Papua New Guinea, early 20th century
Formal Gown, robe a la francaise, 1765
Fan, 1720's
Earthenware Mug to commemorate the Boer War, 1900
Doorway from Larkbeare House, Exeter, 1550
Court Shoes, 1930
Virginals, 1679
Right, well I need to get back up to date with the meme ... so ...
8. Have you ever collected pinecones to display in your home?
No, although I now have a couple as Mum had some.
I also have a ceramic one as a souveneir from my trip to Sicily
9. The Austrian-American actress Hedy Lamarr was born today in 1914. She and composer George Antheil invented an early version of Bluetooth technology. Do you have any home accessories that use Bluetooth (earbuds/headphones, speakers, fitness trackers, personal scales)?
My phone links via Bluetooth onto my car, so I can take phone calls if needed.
10. It’s Sesame Street Day! Who is your favourite Sesame Street or Muppet character?
Not a fan!
11. Do you insist that everyone uses coasters for their drinks?
No, but as I have loads of them around (mostly souveneirs), then they tend to be used automatically
Right, I will catch up with you all.
