1. I loaded the breakfast things into the dishwasher. 2. I tied up the tomatoes in pots by the house. I made midmorning coffee.
These may seem trivial things but I have to start the return to normal life gradually.
4. In half an hour Mrs Faz will collect the car from servicing and then we'll do a supermarket shop together.

1. Tuesday it was just a visit to the doctors' surgery to change the dressings on my foot (where the toes have been amputated) and my wrist (the donor site of the flap that was put on my foot). The site on my leg where the skin was taken for grafting on my wrist has never needed a dressing. Back in May I had 3 operations in one go - no wonder it took 9 hours. 2. I saw nurse Rosa (from Manila) for the first time since last year when she used to bandage my bleeding foot (before the dopes did a biopsy and found it was cancer). Rosa's dressing is a little less voluminous so it is easier to get pants on. 3. I no longer need morphine and have cut down on the 2 other painkillers I was prescribed. 4. Tomorrow I'll try stopping painkillers altogether. 5. Definite progress. 6. We are being taken out for lunch so all the cooking Mrs Faz will need to do this evening is toast some bread.

The site on my leg where the skin was taken for grafting on my wrist has never needed a dressing. Skin was taken from your wrist for your foot and skin taken from your leg to replace that taken from your wrist. Guess what the obvious question is.....

Not as simple as that. The free flap taken from my wrist to bulk up my foot was quite substantial and has left something like a First World War trench (in miniature). This has been covered by a skin graft which is very thin. The flesh is growing back (for instance covering a tendon) but it is a slow process - over 3 months so far. I suspect there was more than one surgeon for the 9 hour operation but I owe my life to the lead surgeon Rachel Clancy. It is not just 4 toes that were taken off (I only mention that or else people's attention would wander). Underneath, on the sole of my foot, was something suspicious that another surgeon dismissed as a corn and advised putting a corn plaster on. No, no, it was cancer and thank God for Rachel who took over and had a biopsy done.

1. I wonder if Netsie has ever put up her curtains. 2. The bungalows in Thailand have just said they have a bungalow for us - details to follow. 3. But the bungalows in Thailand sent the identical email on Saturday. Maybe they have been drinking too much Thai whisky. 4. The bungalow owners spent 8 years in Melbourne - maybe that explains it^^^. 5. BBC weather said it would be raining by 9 am. No. 6. Then BBC said it would be raining by 11 am. I have looked out of the window and it is not raining.
