LEFT IN STITCHES, BUT NOT MUCH TO LAUGH ABOUT.

-
While engaged in domestic chores in the back garden, Aug 2, I sliced the webbing between my left forefinger and thumb. The deep cut produced about half an armful of blood and the missus freaked out when she SAW it, however, the missus has recovered from the shock.
Incidently, my left hand is expected to be fully recovered within a week from now; when the Doc will remove the needle-work, meanwhile I am typing at 5 wpm on right hand drive.
Expressions of sympathy will be warmly welcomed.
Vest, Daily Gaggle.

Dave. Without hammering it home. It's much worse than a sore thumb when you miss the nail.

Ouch. I'm just cringing even as I'm typing this.

I could never be a medic because I can't stand the sight of other people's blood (unless of course I don't like the guy).

So Vest, tonight here in town, we celebrate Fiesta Days. I'll raise a toast in your honor. To a speedy recovery. Stitches suck. I've had plenty of 'em in my 30+ years on this planet (most caused by being a dumb redneck - "hey y'all, watch this!")

Poor baby! How's that for sympathy? You sound just like my husband. He's ALWAYS got a healing gash or second degree burn on his hands. The only difference is that he always refuses to get stitches; he expects me to patch him up. Good thing I'm not squeamish like ZS.
I hope your darling wife scolded you about being more careful in the future. Stay out of the garden until you're healed! We don't want any nasty infections.

Ouch! Hope it gets better fast. One-handed typing would drive me to insanity!

I can run fast??

Thank you Tshsmom-Jenn-ZS & Dave for your sympathy, I am now on the road to recovery, still sore after the removal of the stitches.
Tomorrow I am attending the march in Sydney; about 3Klms, the 60th ann of the end of ww2, we have to get up at 4-30 am to catch the train to Sydney from Budgewoi on the beautiful central coast, many ancient comrades will be there, the train takes over an hour longer than driving, but the problem is trying to park the car, virtually impossible.

Vest - It's getting harder and harder every year for me to find WWII vets. I love hearing old war stories, so I hope you can convince some of your friends to either type 'em up or record them onto a media format that will last. Believe me, there will be someone who'd love to collect them and publish them. It might be me when I get out of this stupid profession.

Have a great time.

The Last Post

I am sorry to say this blog will soon have its final post, this post may be my last.  I would like to say "Thank You" to all of you nice people with whom I have been in blog contact over the past sixteen years. Unfortunately, my health issues have become worse over the past two weeks, my mobility is at its lowest point; and I become dizzy after a couple of paces, I am using oxygen permanently. It feels like I  am falling apart; I have Kidney - Heart - Lung and Bladder problems, plus many other add ons to stir the mix. I am still living? at home, where I have a comfortable environment and the necessary assistance,. I do not sleep well; probably due to loss of body activity.  My eldest son Christopher will be the person to inform you of my final time on earth.  I need to lay down for a while right now. My best wishes to you all. Vest Daily Gaggle, AKA.  Leslie John Bowyer.

OPEN FORUM. This is a new concept in blogging.

In future ALL posts on this Site will have a section to be known as 'OPEN FORUM. this is to be introduced as from now and a reminder of this promulgated at each time a new post arrives. Open Forum comments are not restricted to the current post, however, it would be advisable not to retro too far into the archives. When referring to comments in archives, you will be advised to mention the post and it's date. Open forum comments Shall Not relate to the current posts, and must be headed 'Open Forum. Open talk opens the way to further talk, as does wine or love, and a little bit of gossip is good for the soul, another good thing about gossip is that it is within every ones reach. The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
