The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

it's all very well the plastic surgery post-op instructions saying 'do not remove dressing or get it wet; it will be removed at the next appt,' but when the damned things fall off then they have to be replaced :( Had to redress his leg twice and replace fallen out gauze pads and restick his shoulder padding a couple of times before it fell right off again today, soaked and heavy. So it was a matter of antibiotic gel, fresh gauze pads and then the bigger sterile pads taped together over the top which I've taped to his skin. Will it last till Monday? I doubt it. *sigh*

on a positive note, the skin graft seems to be doing pretty well, having regained a pink colour instead of being white which shows the blood vessels have reconnected and is giving him very little pain, not compared to the area they stripped the skin from. :rose:

Sounds like the high humidity is affecting your tape jobs. There are a few tricks to get the tape to stick better…if you haven’t already googled them, it’ would probably be worth doing.

👍

The pain from those skin graft donor sites is notoriously bad for the first week or so. Harry should be feeling better in those areas pretty soon.

Hang in there.

I think he sounds dark and mysterious. Did you know the Yorkshire Ripper made his own wank pants for his murder sprees? Yeah I'll pm you my details. Pass 'em on my good man.

Makes me want to break out my old Bundy AV. I had some cracking AVs before cracking AVs were cancelled. My favourite was Hitler's knees. Fuck knows what inspired that one but it always made me melt a bit and I got lots of cock pics in my PM box.

Golden days of yore before yore was cancelled.

Cunts.
You're in luck! He says he is planning a trip to the UK to take a Jack The Ripper bus tour! He said he'd find you, although, i havent received your deets. I told him I'd share them with him as soon as possible. He said it didnt matter, the "hunt" was his favorite part. . He seems like a man of many hats, resourceful and determined.

Hitlers knees... Now im intrigued.

i think it's a Harry issue more than the tapes :D The hospital wide tapes lasted even shorter times than the 'redos'. It's an awkward spot, covering the entire scapular from the very top of his shoulder down to the bottom of the scapula and running from his upper arm, past the armpit and across to his spine.

Yeah, that sounds like a tough area for tape to stay in place.

I’m surprised Harry hasn’t suggested using duct tape.

🤔

😳

🤣

he's hated every inch of tape till we found a paper-based one which doesn't irritate his skin or cause it to tear/split. As for the duct tape, lol; if he didn't have such thin skin he likely WOULD have thought to use it :eek:
 
washing his hair over the basin would be so much easier with longer arms, or longer legs, or a box to stand on! still, we kept the dressing dry :)

potted up some seeds I collected from the 'fairy' peppers I bought in store; we'll see how they do. Last time I did it was a few years back and they did pretty well. I may have to consider erecting some kind of fencing around the corn: not to stop it getting eaten, but to help support it. With all the rain and the winds which have blown (if the corn's to be believed) from the south west, it's like they're drunks that keep laying down in the street. A tree limb snapped down from its trunk but missed the potato beds... it's not one of the really big limbs and I'll probably shift it tomorrow.

First flowers opened on the cukes, bell peppers and toms, and I brought in another good handful of green beans. :cool:

Thanks for the detailed description.

Pics?

Oh, right, you got pics banned here.
 
I don't mind being assistant gardener in the rain, but in wind driven rain? Are flowers that worth it?

No. And I like flowers.

I worked outdoors all day myself. Shirtless. I am now mildly quite sunburned. Just enough to hate myself in a different way, while trying to fall asleep tonight.

Here, you might of had windburn.....
 
Sometimes I think about the fact that last year I realized that someone I considered a close friend here has been lying for a very long time about losing a child and I think why would you do that what was the benefit there? How did that feed them? Attention seeking? I can’t get it off my mind especially because thanks to algorithms their various social media pages show up on my feed

are you absolutely sure about your new information, though? It would be really awful if your friendship broke up because of misinformation... on the other hand, how sad is it that someone would lie about it? Not unheard of, but very sad.
