Trying to get used to wearing socks again for the first time in 2 months of not. Still feels quite weird because there is now a sense of touch on top of the toes where there never was before. The socks are new, Bridgedale Merino wool because the tootsies have been feeling the cold lately! Last check-up was a week ago (Weds), and still needed a bit of discharging and wrapping up again. However the scab on the right toe could completely come off so that was a win. Dressings off again on Friday, OK no prob, but then, at about 11:10 pm as I'm preparing to go to bed, I have shut the laptop lid, turned off the power supply (and the PCL82 amp that I'm using for sound), getting ready to clean my teeth etc., I notice I'm dripping blood all over the dining room and conservatory floors as I'm pottering about. Right toe is spewing like a good 'un. Good job I'm not in the lounge/front room as that has fitted carpet! Managed to staunch the flow with a couple of swabs, then mopped up the floors. This is a bit odd and quite unexpected because the right toe is supposed to be the one that is most advanced in terms of healing. Anyhow, next check-up is tomorrow, Thurs 22nd, I'll tell her the story!
Next excitement, about 3:30 am Sunday morning, boiler wakes me up making a horrible noise, then I get a Hive hub alarm on the 'phone, ignition failure, boiler lights flashing, it then gives me a trouble-shooting guide, to cut a long story short, condensate drain is frozen, so at 4 am there I am out in the nadger freezing outdoors, pouring hot water over the drain pipe. 2 kettles worth. I think it froze at the lower end at the kitchen drain – regs say if outside it has to go into a drain. It is also lagged as per, but even so. (The pipe is several feet long to reach the drain.)
