Weekend blues
I'm pretty sure that the lump of concrete that fell on both my feet on Saturday broke a bone or two in my left one. It was about the size of a paving slab and hurt like buggery. What runined or made your weekend extra special?

Alt Q. Should I go to casualty and get an X-ray? I Can just about walk on it, and my toes still work.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 7:56, 123 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

Get it x-rayed and fixed up.
If only for the drugs you'll get.

My weekend was great until my friend stuck a gun in his mouth.
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 8:43, Reply)

I've got drugs and I've fixed it up.
Fucking guns. When will the world realise, that people with guns use them, either on themselves or others?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 8:49, Reply)

I must confess, I did say something like
"well at least he didn't pull a Derek Bird, first". Fortunately nobody got it.

And then we went back to moping into our pints and wondering aloud which angle was best.

I failed one of my tasks in my design course
and got the result on Friday so that was a bit depressing. Turned out I just answered the question in a completely different way from what they wanted and I can resubmit it so it doesn't really matter, but still, it took me ages. BELM.

That's a pisser.
Will it take you long to redo it or is it just a bit of juggling?
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 8:54, Reply)

I'll have to do the whole thing again
I just went in the completely wrong direction. Once I sit down with the information and get started on the essay it doesn't take me long at all, it's the research bit and the getting in the mind-set bit, when I'd rather be playing Fallout.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:18, Reply)

At least you have the feedback.
I join you in the BELM, I actually watched the slab fall. I should have been able to move one foot, but failed to.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 8:55, Reply)

but which foot would you have sacrificed?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:02, Reply)

A very good point
One of them for sure. Probably the left as I think I normally start with the right. On reflection, thinking about it would have resulted in what really happened.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:06, Reply)

if you could move one though,
couldn't you have moved them both?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:08, Reply)

Well possibly,
It took under a second from seeing the slab start to topple, to impact. I was backed up in a confined space, and I was trying to stop another peice from falling.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:18, Reply)

I'm not saying you're retarded for leaving them there
I just think that if you had moved one foot, it's mean on the foot you chose to save. Poor lefty.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:31, Reply)

I think if my bollocks had been in the same situation
I would have moved faster.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:37, Reply)

Yes you should go for an xray.
I had to tell someone who had a horse tred on her and then couldn't walk for 2 days that she should have gone for an xray. If there's anything they can do they'll do it. It's better for the NHS to see it early anyway

was a good weekend
had friends for dinner on friday night (they were delicious), lie in on saturday then went to my parents to help them celebrate their 40th anniversary with a gourmet BBQ. Highlight was probably the chorizo-stuffed squid. Then went for a surf yesterday, which was pretty good. Included meeting up with an old friend and his new mrs.

I rarely go to A&E unless something is hanging off by a thread or if the pain is excrutiating.
( girlinthehole, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:28, Reply)

I'm like that
I didn't want to go when I cracked my head open but the teacher of the class I was in called an ambulance and made me go. When I got there the nurse I saw asked me why I'd called an ambulance if I could walk. Hmph.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:34, Reply)

My friend made me go to A&E when I ruined my ankle at a wedding
Drove her home, with it hurting whenever I changed gear, and then she made her mum drive me up to A&E. The nice doctor man proceeded to poke the big purple lump that shouldn't have been there, and ask if it was sore, then told me not to walk for a while. Now that's what I call helpful advice.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:36, Reply)

yeah they didn't really do anything for me either
My back was what hurt the most, but they were only really worried about the headwound because it was a headwound. In the end, once they'd washed all the blood out of my hair they told me the cut was less than a cm long and I would be fine. I felt bad for wasting their time, but my teacher is a nurse and she was worried I'd be paralysed or something so it was better safe than sorry I suppose.

Went to the wedding of two friends on Saturday
Got hammered, DJd for them in the evening and managed to do a decent job of it.
Then stalked through Trafalgar square at 1am looking for food, still dressed in my finery with the mo' rampant. I would've thought such a sight would be common in that there London Town, but I still got odd looks. Maybe because I was looking so fucking awesome.

Ouch...
Yeah, I'd get that looked at. I can't imagine it's good for you.

Not wishing to rub it in, but since you asked: I had a very productive weekend. Spent most of it at our drummer's house (finally) mixing the recordings we made at the end of April and they're sounding pretty good if I do say so myself.

In other good news my housemate came back from the hopsickle. They don't think it's anything serious and he's feeling a lot better now. (Thank goodness)

And apologies for abandoning the snail thread on Saturday morning; I had to scoot off. Thanks to those who provided culinary suggestions but the rest of you may be pleased to know I released the snail into the garden. I was hoping he'd decimate the patch of weeds on the near side of the lawn, but I think he needs a little more time.

Alt Q: yes, you should go get and X-ray. If the bones heal wrongly, it could cause you pain for years to come.

it's worth getting it checked out
on a couple of occasions I have quite badly hurt my fingers and not gone to get them looked at. Fortunately they weren't actually broken and have healed ok and stuff, but it took a year for one of them to stop hurting.

my mrs didn't give me sympathy during that time because I didn't go to hospital to get them checked out :-(
