Hi! Back from the kitchen. Walter regarded the ice cream dubiously and said he wouldn't eat it and i reminded him that he has been bugging me for months about this and he made it himself and it's his favorite flavor so he was darned well going to try it. ow he's headed swiftly toward needing a second bowl of it.

Anyone know how long one leaves the tape over a wound that was glued closed? They forgot to tell me last night and my doctor's on vacation. I can call another one though...
3:01 am
mrpresident
at least till it is peeling off
3:01 am
mrpresident
then you have to replace the tape
3:01 am
tinks
sorry monkey - i have no idea. would guess at a few days tho
3:01 am
MonkeyGames
OK, that's about what I figured.
3:01 am
chickieo8
glued closed??
3:02 am
mrpresident
get 'micropore' tape from the chemist
3:02 am
mrpresident
yes, they glue close kids wounds
3:02 am
MonkeyGames
Oh, replace it... I'll call. We are talking about a 1 cm long, but quite deep forehead wound.
3:02 am
MonkeyGames
Yes, chickie, they did that at the ER.
3:02 am
mrpresident
yes, replace the tape...
3:02 am
Birdeee
steri strips
3:03 am
MonkeyGames
OK. Nobody said. I will call a doctor later just to get more info. All they told me was keep it dry for a couple of days...
3:03 am
chickieo8
I see,i've never heard of that before. :0
3:03 am
tinks
my dad had his head glued closed - left it until it wore off
3:03 am
Birdeee
I meant if it is steri strips and not tape you can leave it on for a few days at least
3:03 am
mrpresident
monkey, leave it there till it falls off
3:03 am
tinks
didn't wash it for a few days tho
3:04 am
MonkeyGames
It is whatever transparant-like tape or strip they put over stitched wounds.
3:04 am
MonkeyGames
Will do, Mr. P! That was my instinct too.
3:04 am
mrpresident
yes, that is steri-strips
3:04 am
tinks
just leave it monkey until it goes
3:04 am
Birdeee
sounds like steri strips - you can leave those on for weeks
3:05 am
rolin
apparently super glue was invented at the time of the vietnam war to make wounds seal as quickly as possible
3:05 am
tinks
be gentle with it in the meantime
3:05 am
mrpresident
if you google micropore... that is for scars to heal properly
3:05 am
MonkeyGames
OK, good. Because he gets a rash from regular band aids; glad this is different.
3:05 am
chickieo8
hi rolin :)
3:06 am
MonkeyGames
I am being overwhelmingly gentle with it but he is, well, four, so I am having to constantly intervene: he was about to drag his sirt collar over it this morning...
3:06 am
MonkeyGames
Will look up micropore.
3:06 am
MonkeyGames
Trying to keep him quiet for at least one day...
3:06 am

ok icon theme updated and all. Now to find my first word!
3:07 am

3:07 am

Caya feels the same :)
3:08 am
MonkeyGames
He was helping set the table and he turned around to head for the kitchen, tripped and went right down. I think he banged his head on the vacuum cleaner. No concussion.
3:08 am
tinks
lol - that's kids for you monkey. i suspect the glue will hold - just let him get on with stuff. he should be ok for normal day to day stuff as long as you don't scrub it which i don't expect you would :-)
3:08 am
mrpresident
Monkey, I had my portacath removed... I have to put micropore over my scar for three months, but that is on my breast... different type of skin to the face.
Still, ask about covering the scar so that it minimizes the scarring
3:09 am
chickieo8
ouch,poor little guy!! :(
3:09 am
sprite
not alltogether sure about this grid. Are there actually more than 10 words in it?
3:09 am
MonkeyGames
No, will NOT be scrubbing it! It's just that he is a little pale. I'm not tring to make him sit still or anything, but I did decide to skip the daily trip to jump off tree stumps and generally raise havoic in the woods with the dog. We can all survive skipping one day.
3:09 am
tinks
dad's wound was on the top of his head. he's old and quite fragile but it healed very well with just the one glue application
3:09 am
mrpresident
funny enough, I only have 10 words sprite!
3:09 am
sprite
same brick wall?
3:09 am
MonkeyGames
Good to know, Mr. P, and i will definitely inform myself about that!
3:10 am

MonkeyG, Tim has a scar over his eyebrow from trying to stop a canoe with his head. But it looks sexy.
3:11 am
Kazzer99
they glued my sons head together and the instructions were to leave the tape on for a few days to let it settle - mind you rich managed to do exactly the same thing in almost the same place 4 week later and then they had to stitch which lead to much wailing and squirming on his partb(and mine) as they dont use locals on little kids here
3:11 am
mrpresident
Maddison did a swan dive off the lounge into an airconditioner unit...
3:12 am
mrpresident
they don't use locals?? how unusual!
3:12 am
MonkeyGames
Ouch, ouch... How do we survive to grow up? I was a concussion expert until I was 7 or so, myself.
3:12 am
tinks
kids seem to be so unaware of danger - i haven't any of my own but my friends lad seems to have a habit of aiming his head at things...
3:13 am
sprite
they do not often use them here either, mrP. Not if they can stitch it with a few stitches. The local can be very painful too.
3:13 am
Kazzer99
Apparently little uns skin heals remarkably quickly but local slows the effect down and they bleed for a lot longer with a local
3:13 am
sprite
could someone please remove the platypus from the grid?
3:13 am
MonkeyGames
I had almost the same injury as Walter has now only quite a lot worse when I was his age. I reemmber every detail about the event. What I was doing and why, why I fell, what people around me said, the IV, the discussion at the hospital about whether to stitch or hitch... I epect he'll remember this too.
3:14 am
Andree
my 34 year old son has just had a nose reconstruction, specialist said he must have broken it when young!!! i must have been dozing on the job as i had no idea
3:15 am
MonkeyGames
Oh wow! Walter fell right on his nose a couple of weeks ago (I'm blaming a growth spurt for all this, as he is usually extremely well balanced and never fell as a toddler). Hope I don't hear something like that when he's 34...
3:15 am
mrpresident
or he didn't tell you about the punch up at school!!
3:15 am
tinks
andree - i had a habit of bashing my nose as a kid - maybe that's why i sonore now...
3:16 am
Andree
thats how it got fixed tinks, his wife kicked him out of bed till he did something about the snoring
3:16 am
MonkeyGames
OK, Walter wants to play this card game now, so it's off with me for a while. Have fun folks!
3:17 am
tinks
lol andree - i've always hated my nose, it does have a bump of displaced bone if you feel it. maybe i'd qualify for a nose job on the nhs :-)
3:17 am
tinks
take care monkey and watler
3:17 am
Andree
the specialist found a tumour in one side and deviated septum on the other, he said he did not know how he could breath
3:18 am
tinks
wow - that's extreme andree
3:19 am
Andree
my little joke was to ask him why he didn't get a different nose
3:20 am
tinks
presumably he's ok now?
3:21 am
sprite
bye Monkey and Walter
3:21 am
Andree
surgery these days is amazing, other than not being able to do any lifting for a couple of months and making sure he doesn't bump his nose he looked pefectly normal christmas day, 5 days after surgery
3:22 am
Andree
i can remember patients from my nusing days looking like they were beaten up
3:22 am

that's good news
3:23 am
chickieo8
bye guys lol
3:23 am
tinks
take care chickie
3:23 am
sprite
that is incredible, Andree. And don't feel bad about not noticing, broken noses are hard to diagnose. Mine was broken by bumping into a glass wall at work and I worked almost all day before the company doctor came over and said it was broken.
I had instinctively put it back straight on after the collision and he said that was all there could be done anyway, it had to heal by itself.
3:23 am
sprite
bye chickie
3:23 am
tinks
owh! sprite!!
3:24 am
sprite
yeah, mind, that was in the old days when I still thought I should be able to work under any circumstance. Like right after they removed a huge (benign) tumor, and after a broken nose and such.
3:25 am

I have learned since. I am much kinder to me now.

Before that, big whole grain crackers with butter, before that ham sandwich, before that the ice cream we made, before that breakfast: 10 poffertjes! Meanwhile also a big glass of warm milk, two glasses of forest fruits juice, and two glasses of water. He gets like this about once a year.

Yup. But he was SUCH a good boy about it all, and then had a big dinner and a good night's sleep. He's a bit pale and tired today but no concussion or anything. And the scar will be high enough he probably won't get called Harry Potter.

Crosshair - thank yo. I have looked around a lot as well and this seemed to be the best one. I also agree that the buttons are not user freindly for her; she can't always see them. Also, why do they just make the fonts enlargeable (sic) with the pages of the book. She has problems finding the book on the opening page - the font size doesn't change there.

god,my lady never uses the bottom row buttons she just has it go right to the option page and all the selections are large there,and each book i download has a cover page(and yes the fonts can be small) so she just skips forward to page one and starts reading.dont forget to rotate the page as that helps also

i agree with TO - I have been using our library a LOT more in the past few years. we have an online service too, whereby 20 or so local libraries are linked, and I can search online for a book, and check it out from any of the member libraries, and they deliver it to my local, where I pick it up. it's BRILLIANT
8:59 am
Book Doctor Gwen
whereas i revel in my addiction to books, so to speak
8:59 am

however, i do plan a trip to our taj mahal library this week, i have been keeping a list of book reviews.

one of the things i miss most about being in a book club is the exposure to new books. the diff members took turns picking out the books we would read, and they would always pick books that I would never have found and many of them i really loved. it was great

and cheese is hard to get out of fur
9:49 am
wildcat17
that's always a good idea eva
9:49 am

not at all, they have little barbs on their tongues for getting all the cheese

vegan cheese? mmm..bet that didnt cost more than 10 dollars for 8 slices:/
9:53 am
wildcat17
expensive cat food
9:53 am

Strange. My cat snubs dairy products. Just gives me a scathing look as if to say, "why isn't this meat?"
9:53 am
hurshy
not cheese, margarine
9:54 am
crosshair
i buy margerine with maximum oil content,makes for better fry ups:)))
9:54 am

what is odd is that even though usually non-dairy sweets hold no interest, mitten LOVES the heavy syrup that canned peaches come in.

9:56 am

at the end my cat would eat the dog's dry food, and of course the dogs loved her food
9:56 am
Atalante
yep raw mushrooms - and bananas - are the only things Hobbit won't eat
9:56 am
Judi
Dogs love most people food. Except vegetables and fruit. I think mushrooms are bad for dogs anyway.
9:57 am
Uneaixoise
mine LOVES all fruit!
9:57 am
hurshy
my dog when i was a kid just wouldn't eat lettuce. but she would eat other veggies and fruits.
9:57 am
Judi
Come to think of it, we used to have a beagle mix who would eat blackberries and raspberries right off the vines.
9:58 am

i'm just pleased you feel the need to correct yourself. i've got to the point where i generally refrain from correcting even myself because somehow i worry people are thinking it is snobbish to care at all

I'm trying to decide whether to write to the publishers of a book to point out that a crutch differs fundamentally from a crotch, and that it is much more likely that a fork-lift truck was used to shift pallets than palettes. Am I being too fussy?

I was hard-hearted last night. A young man had to get his friend to ring me because he had no money on his phone, but he wanted a house-call for a kitten he had found. He didn't think he would have to pay because he is on benefits.
10:31 am
Atalante
awwww. an ill kitten or just a kitten?
10:32 am
hurshy
is the young man suffering from something debilitating?
10:32 am
Haz1558
An ill kitten - he claimed it had cat flu (a friend told him so). I arranged for an appointment at the morning surgery and he did attend, I checked.
10:33 am
Haz1558
The young man is suffering from having too kind a heart and not a steady enough head.
10:33 am
Atalante
ohhhh. did it actually have cat flu?
10:33 am
Atalante
at least he did attend!
10:35 am

i suppose if the people close to you are not dysfuctional, it's easier to never lie *still mu6 on the earlier question*
10:35 am
Haz1558
I don't know what it was treated for. I just get frustrated with the whole benefits system that allows people to think they're entitled to money off everything. Does it work in Tescos (spit)?

As my mother said "if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all" and it seems that most of the time I just want to shout at a few players who seem to dominate the log. So I back off.

It was a while back, caitlyn. I had made the mistake of writing about clues in my profile, quite a number didn't like it.
11:32 am
Atalante
*stands in front of Haz with a fierce spaniel*
11:33 am

Stands with Ata and Hobbit :))

Stands with the gang!

Standing proudly with all of you!

especially when giving the very scary spaniel growl
11:34 am
Haz1558
I know that a lot of people agreed with what I wrote, but there were those who felt annoyed and I felt chastened by the experience.
11:34 am

You havent heard me growl yet

Fell over and cut his head right before dinner last night, had to go with the ambulance and have it glued. Today it is tender but not swollen, a bit bruised, and he was pale and tired for much of the day but really just fine. No Tylenols needed, no complaining about it, but wanted to rest a lot.

The paramedic said he lost enough blood to be a little on the tired side but nowhere enough to be considered even slightly dangerous. He ate like a pig ALL DAY, and perked up enough to want to go out with the dog (in -2 weather!) this afternoon. No concussion, no headache, no complications.

Walter is a highly active boy of 4 so I have just been waiting for our accident. We got off lightly in my opinion, what with no concussion, scar will be high up by the hair, no teeth through a lip or anything. Glad they could glue it. We were in the ER a total of ten minutes... plus a 45 minute wait for the neighbor to come pick us up.
12:41 pm
EvaNadine
my nephews are totally injury-prone...i rarely see them without a bandage, bruise, or scrape...
12:42 pm
MonkeyGames
Oh, I was a concussion expert and split two lips and all that stuff. Skinned a knee once badly enough for the ER and lots of bandaging. So I know this isn't the end.
12:43 pm
MonkeyGames
He also has excellent coordination and balance most of the time but of course Knows No Fear. It helps that I remember every detaiul of my really big head injury, when I was exactly this age. I remember thinking that I could certainly climb onto that metal railing over the rocks along the stairs and slide down it, easiest thing in the world...
12:43 pm
EvaNadine
my younger nephew seems to get the brunt of it...
over the summer, he had a bandage on the top of his head, where the detachable shower head fell + clunked him while he was in the shower with my brother...
then, on christmas, he had a huge bandage on his chin -- seems he slipped + fell in the tub + smashed his chin on the side...they really thought that was gonna turn out to be an ER trip, but thankfully, it wasnt...
12:43 pm
MonkeyGames
So I keep an eye on what he might try. So of course last night he just turned around too fast and tripped over his ownfeet.
12:44 pm
Pinikula
My older dau is familiar with the ER for things like being brushed by an RV, stung by an unidentified bug, locked for 5 hours in a football stadium bathroom, etc.
12:44 pm
MonkeyGames
Oh dear!
12:45 pm
Babs1
wow, lots of trauma pini!
12:45 pm
EvaNadine
my older nephew is a bit more limber -- so far, the worst ive seen him with (those being the key words) is a minor black eye -- from where his little brother bit him on the cheek!
12:45 pm
Babs1
rusing should be a word!!
12:45 pm
Pinikula
...the younger dau is as familiar except for things like stitches in chin for sidewalk belly flop; puncturing leg (but not her jeans) while 4-wheeling on the beach; climbing out of her crib and falling on her toy farm leaving a nice little cut on her forehead...
12:46 pm
Pinikula
Thankfully, I'm trauma free...so I provide all the transportation for the victims!
12:47 pm
MonkeyGames
I was locked in a bathroom stall for about three hours in an unheated building in the dead of winter with the window stuck open... of course, this was about ten years ago. I tried to crawl under the door and had a VERY scary few minutes when I thought I would ALSO be pinned to a marble floor... had to get back into the stall (walls to ceiling, couldn';t climb). Finally took the whole lock apart with my Swiss army knife and when that didn't work just threw myself against the door until the damage done by the lock taking aprt thing finally made the pin fall out... I have seen less well made doors on high security buildings! That's when I decided to get a cell phone.
12:47 pm
Babs1
ouch! I guess you've learned to stay calm for these "events?!"
12:47 pm
Babs1
heroic tale, monkey!
12:48 pm
MonkeyGames
My little brother, when he was two, started this thing where he would climb on any handy piece of furniture and waoit. As soon as someone entered the room, no matter how far away from him, he'd yell, "Catch me!" and throw himself into space.
12:48 pm
MonkeyGames
He's a lawyer now.
12:48 pm
Pinikula
Babs, I'm so calm now, I just tell the caller that I'll meet them at the ER door...
12:48 pm
Pinikula
WTG MG!!!! (my dau had her cell phone with her, but it was in a concrete building and she couldn't get a signal)
12:48 pm
MonkeyGames
Heroic? Just had to get out or freeze to death. All the freaking out and panicking kept me warm.
12:48 pm

my son was defo the accident prone one in our home - he slid on an old nylon carpet and scraped his chin open, a neighboyurs boy smacked him with a play spade, he fell on a slide an sliced his elbow open - all trips to casualty for stitches and the like
12:52 pm
MonkeyGames
Yes, but ALSO half brother and sister-- same mom. They are stunning to look at too: mom is mostoly scottich and their father is Palestinian, and they somehow combined the features into works of art.
12:52 pm
MonkeyGames
And they're TAAAAALLLLLLLL...

Oh yes. Striking Arabic noses, chestnut hair with slight wave and red highlights, olive skin and a scattering of freckles across the nose, blue eyes.

12:55 pm
MonkeyGames
The family were very interested in the blue eyes-- it HAS to come from both sides, so it must date to the ancestress who was raped during the crusades.
12:56 pm

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames
Thanks, Kazz!
12:56 pm
Babs1
ok...really confused about who are half-siblings....your brother and the girl he's marrying?
12:57 pm
MonkeyGames
The Scotts is on my mother;s side, so yes, but the Palestinian side doesn't have a blue eye in it since that crusades incident and the gene MUST come from both.
12:57 pm
Pinikula
No, babs...MG's siblings are her 1/2 siblings because they all have the same mother...her 1/2 brother is marrying another girl (not related)
12:57 pm
MonkeyGames
Hee hee, no me and my brother and sister. They share my mother.
12:58 pm
Babs1
no wonder i have trouble following clues here! lol...got it!

Yes, of ocurse, that's why it's so interesting. But recessives do just hang out, often enough.
