Blood, flesh and bones
Today I did go back to Lancaster Infirmary, so that they could do a check-up on my knee. The consultant who attended to me (after about an hours wait) didn't have my x-rays to hand and wasn't entirely sure of the circumstances surrounding my accident, so I filled in the details. After a bit of twisting and poking around of my left leg ("Nope, that doesn't hurt either") he mentioned needles and something about sucking (or whatever) the blood out from behind the swollen knee-cap. This freaked me out a bit, but then he went away to check with his manager whether this was a good idea or not. Whilst he was away, I gradually came round to the idea of this relatively minor operation, and was almost disappointed when he came back and informed me that it wouldn't be necessary after all. Ah well. Another appointment made a fortnight hence, and continued wearing of splint recommended. Hobble back to work.
