Despite a nasty head cold leaving me with throbbing sinuses and a very wooly head, I managed to pluckily construct a single powerpoint slide that summarised a complex bit of root cause analysis. I am a brave little soldier. |

Registered 14 years agoGot an infection in gum (Pericoronitis) after an old wisdom tooth had a rumble.
One of the symptoms of this infection is Lockjaw.
Lockjaw ffs.
And I'm in the office. -

Registered 15 years agoHad a seven inch "hook plate" taken out of my shoulder just now. Nerve blocks are amazing things- I think I might do some shadow boxing and then maybe attempt some shotput. -

Registered 17 years agoI'm trying to decide on a mental picture of Trafford's predicament and can't decide whether he looks like he needs to have milkshake through a straw or whether he looks like he's very keen to blow someone, anyone. -

Hah, when I was a young lad my Grandma warned me about Tetanus and lockjaw. And I've always had the wide open mouth image in my head...
I'm trying to decide on a mental picture of Trafford's predicament and can't decide whether he looks like he needs to have milkshake through a straw or whether he looks like he's very keen to blow someone, anyone.
However, I can only manage about a 2cm gap in-between my teeth, I can just about talk but it's sore.
The antibiotics should clear the infection up in 5 days, but I've been advised the Lockjaw could be a fortnight. A fortnight of soup through a straw. : / -

(Yes I know this implies he constantly looks as though he needs to have milkshake through a straw AND he's about to blow someone, it's Wednesday night and I'm tired) -
@Trafford Pfrrt, after I had broken both my jaws I had my jawbone locked into place for about 5 weeks. Milkshake was an impossible luxury.
Anything with a thickness exceeding, well, pretty much water needed to be filtered so I could absorb it. Good times! -

Was that earlier on this year when you fell?
You recovered okay?
I can imagine that was maddening. I'm really missing my sandwiches

Yes and yes. Incredulous as it may seem I made a full recovery. The human body is a thing of mystery in this respect, both very fragile and very resilient.

The bone fully reconnected and - this took a bit longer admittedly - the tissue around it simply adjusted to the slightly altered situation.
Good as new really. -
Sneezed last night and felt like something popped around my ribs.
In pain since :/ -

Registered 16 years agoUgh, I had a beer with lunch today and now I've got a very slight headache from stopping. Still getting on with work, even though I'm self employed and I could go sit on the sofa at any time I please.
So brave. -
I'm not really enjoying this mug of tea I've got.
But I'll drink it all anyway.
Because that's the way I am. -

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was working at a soft play centre which became a hardsports arena?
Some cunt kid shat in the ball pool. Took us three hours to wash and disinfect each ball -
It was fine if you avoided eye contact -

I worked at a McDonalds to pay my way through Uni, and they had a ball pool. Kids would shit, piss and puke in that thing on a regular basis. I would always refuse to clean it up. Figuratively fuck that literal shit.

Registered 8 years agoI drank a bit too much last weekend and although I didn't get a hangover, I didn't feel right for a couple of days afterwards.
But I just carried on as usual anyway. Because I'm a brave little soldier -

In other news: hayfever kicked in quite hard yesterday and today, and it's my first day back at work after a week off...but I'm still here. Give me my motherfucking medal, already.
Now that I'm an old fart, I find that just about all Hayfever meds affect my mental state in that they make me even more miserable and antisocial than ever, so I'm not taking anything.
Double brave. -
