Day #2 without plaster cast

Slightly better day today.  Remembered to take the painkillers in plenty of time so gave myself a good start on the day.

• Had another long and satisfying shower!
• Put cream on my ghastly peeling skin.  Lumps of my skin are falling off. I'm like a shedding snake.  I've even resorted to putting cling film over the creamed areas so my skin will shluuuurp it in.  I'll try anything once!

• Foot and toes still swollen.  I'd post a picture, but I respect your digestion.
• Had an outing to a small shopping mall to visit the opticians so Grumpy could get his eyes tested.
• I figured I could manage the short distance in and out of the mall on the crutches.
• Didn't bargain for needing to make several stops due to people cutting in front of me while mindlessly gabbing on their mobiles.  
• Sat for an hour in opticians so my bum was completely numb.
• Grumpy took me for a coffee and a toasted teacake afterwards
• Had to use the lift to go downstairs to the Ladies.  Very kind person held the toilet door open for me.  I was well impressed with that small act of kindness after being cut up earlier by ignorant mobile-users.
• Headed out of the mall but every step was agony (painkillers were wearing off)
• So happy to get into car and let out a loud squeal of relief.  If anyone else had heard that they may well have been confused with the scene from When Harry Met Sally.

So folks, that made up a big part of my day.  Oh, and I just discovered the cling film that I forgot to take off.  It's been on 10 hours, so a bit overdue for removal.  Nice!
