Bon soir, mes petit pois. Today is the day after my feet became free once again, and boy is it different! I had the plaster cast removed yesterday afternoon, and so far, so good. My left foot and calf muscle ache like never before, and my left foot was covered in masses of dead skin (most of which has now come off after a good scrub and application of moisturizer – not that I keep that sort of stuff in, and even if I did…not that there’s anything wrong with that…). The hospital said that the breaks were just about healed, but that the gap between the 4th and 5th metatarsals was bigger than previously – I will be returning in several weeks for yet another x-ray to see if I am now permanently deformed!

As for the site hosting, I am now with a new company based in Nottingham. Better than the last lot – I can actually set up the .htaccess file to give proper permalinks with meaningful words in them. Sweet!

And while I’m here, Boro should have beat Chelsea – we hit the woodwork three times, for goodness sake! As long as we finish the season above Keane and Keegan, I’ll be happy.

It’s been (give or take a day or so) a month since I broke my feet. Who would have thought that breaking four bones in such a small area could cause so much bother? Meh. You live and learn.

Right foot is feeling pretty good . The ankle is still sore, and if I knock the right hand side of the foot (?) it still makes me swear, but apart from that we’re getting there.

Lefty, however, is still fully plastered, and occasionally feels like the front half is falling off. Add to that the cramp I got in my calf muscle the other day, it ain’t so good. Got another 4 weeks before they’ll even consider taking the plaster off, so at least another 4 weeks without driving/playing football/walking up stairs/doing any work worth a damn/having a bath easily. I do wash – just not in the bath, OK?

Daytime television! Oy vey, my eyes, already! Best thing on is “Big Cook, Little Cook”, which my own little(st) cook adores. Those guys are excellent!
