turpsJames is volunteering at an emergency services disaster thing today. They needed amputees to help out, so he put his name down
It's a joint exersise they're doing, fire, ambulance, the whole lot, and includes metros going off track, buildings collapsing, people being shot. Really, just everything possible that could go wrong going wrong. He had to turn up in old clothes because there was a possibility he'd be trapped in a small space for a long time while waiting to be rescued, then earlier he phoned to say he'd had some of his chest shaved to create a wound, and that I'd have to shave the rest tonight -- at which point I may have laughed for a long time.
He's just sent a photo of the make-up that's been done, and it's disgusting. Seriously. If anyone wants to see I'll link but I'm not actually posting it here as it's really grisly and has to do with his leg being blown off.
In other less grisly medical stuff. We were at the hospital a few days ago and James is on the list to get his hand operated on to stop his fingers clawing. The doctor said it'll be a challenge, and could go wrong, but at this point it couldn't really get worse. It'll probably be around six months to wait, and I'm fine with that because no matter how many operations he's had, they still always chew me up.
The same evening James had to go pick mam up as she was off her head drunk. She's been sick lately with chest issues. The doctor prescribed steroids, so as soon as she was feeling better she went out, despite knowing the doctor was going to call with results about her xray and blood results. Seems she's got heart issues, just we don't know exactly what as he called while she was out, so of course she can't remember exactly what he said. Now it's a case of waiting for a hospital letter to see just what's up and what tests she needs next. What annoyed me was she got that call just after midday, and decided to stay out all afternoon before calling James at 6. But again, what can you do? Nothing. So yet again it's a case of waiting to see what happens next.
It's a lovely sunny day today, so I've got a load of washing on the line. No idea if it'll dry though as it's still pretty cold. However, we have planted some seeds at last, so now the kitchen window is full of seed trays. Just courgettes and tomatoes so far, but we have turnips and carrots ready to be planted in the raised bed very soon.
So I intend to potter today, tidy the tip and do some writing. I'm alternating between my bbb and a Vikings AU at the moment, and admittedly, not getting many words on either. But still, I'll take any amount of words at the moment.
