I am not a lover of Bank Holidays and I'm always glad to get them out of the way. Not that we were doing anything different this Easter, but it always seems like a lot of Sundays added together, and I'm not a Sunday person either.
Today has been different. Lots to do and places to go. A trip to the Post Office first thing, and as a result we are solvent for the week. Carers calling, washing to do and hang out on a beautiful sunny day, then my first shopping expedition for over a week. Not a lot to get and far enough for the first time.
3.20pm and an appointment with the Practice Nurse to remove the staples from the wound. I'd already removed most of the dressing to make it easier and quicker for the lady. I didn't recon with the staples. Nine popped out with ease, but number ten had some how crossed over and would not pull out.
Several tries, then another nurse was called. She tried but to no avail. More tools were brought. I suggested the Fire Service, their Station is just along the road. Then it started bleeding.
They did finally manage to get the 'little dear' out, then cleaned and patched up the area. The staple was unrecognisable, a bent and twisted piece of wire. Twenty five minutes to take out one staple. Did it hurt? Mmmmmm.... just a little.
An easy day tomorrow. Well, nothing could match today!

Wince!
Oh you poor thing!
And raising your arms to hang the wash out! You are supposed to be taking it easy! Probably what mangled the staple!
Oh ouch!
Here's hoping things are going much more smoothly for you now!
Things were going too well, and when that happens you know you're in for a fall....... luckily not too far this time.
