A Day In A&E

69 Days Until I Can Walk

No coding today because I spent the entire day sitting in Accident and Emergency in a Dublin hospital.

Yesterday I took a pretty nasty spill on the crutches and came straight down on the broken foot. Most painful, and the impact was followed by a loud crack. So yeah, better to be safe than sorry, I went and got myself x-rayed. Thankfully it’s all good news! Not only did I not make everything worse, but there are clear signs of healing in the image. So I am most encouraged, although my foot is still quite tender.

I will say that while the process of getting through an Irish hospital can be quite slow, the bedside manner of the nurses and staff is outstanding. I feel very supported by how kind and engaging all the staff who spoke to me have been. They truly are a credit to their profession.

Here’s a picture of one of my crutches anyway (snazzy little light reflector and all).

I’ll be spending the weekend writing rather than coding, so floor and ceiling texturing will have to wait until next week. Oh well…

Have a good weekend folks!
