PHASE II AS GOOD AS IT GETS DAY 105

PHASE II A.G.A..I.G DAY 105
Will it ever stop raining?

Monday and its raining and there is more to come but we soldier on. Up early for a grapefruit breakfast and coffee before popping down to the GPs for my 28 day jab. As I wait I realise I have not taken my prophylactic paracetamol yesterday or today yet. The nurse calls me in wearing a set of VW scrubs, brilliant, or at least I hope they were scrubs. She is very careful and notes that I have old injection “lumps” from previous jabs in my right side. She prospects my fatty bits and finds a place to jab, which she does very slowly and thoughtfully. I drive home and down some paracetamol immediately, it usually takes me a few hours before I start to feel “junkieish”. I have another coffee and then gather together my tools to replace a light switch in the back bedroom. Yes of course a have a new spare in my garage store of everything. So I flip the fuse off and take the plate off the wall and photograph the wiring . Mobile phones have made DIY to much easier, no more remembering or drawing.

The old wiring.
New switch, Ta Da, simple really.

After sending the Elders a few notes that I had written about my observations of us I get and early start on the blog but my Amazon order of Steristrips arrive so I re-dress my surgery wound before getting ready to train in the Shed.

  • The OLd
  • The Scar
  • The New
A quick redressing of the wound and I am good to go fro 24 hours.

I go to the Shed and write an impromptu letter thinking to post it post training but decide to do it now and stroll over to the post box. Back in the Shed I train for an hour and try to push hard as I think this helps on injection day. I will know tonight. As it happens it turns out a good session.

  • Time
  • Calories
  • Kilometres
A kilometre off my PB, not bad for a jab day.

Unfortunately I discover that being actively sweaty and having a beard is death to facial wound dressings so I finish the session with my nice new dressing hanging onto my face by a single steristrip. It is a hopeless cause so I abandon the dressing, rub antibiotic cream into the wound and spray it with Spray Plaster. I just need to do the same thing after each shower for the next few days till they call me to take the. stitches out. Time to clear the kitchen ready to make tea and to receive our Tesco delivery later this evening. Its going to be an early evening bedtime for me as I try to sleep the jab reaction away.
