After a night of next to no sleep decided it was time to pay a trip to Dr Jean Luc Masson. My ribs have been getting progressively worse so no position was comfortable to sleep in last night. Great Dr. (delightful & spoke some English), confirmed my diagnosis of broken ribs and laughed at Neurofen + panadol as treatment. Said it would be nowhere near enough to control the pain. He prescribed an analgesic, an anti-inflammatory & a sleeping tablet and also a very expensive (51 Euros) elastic bandage. It is going to be interesting doing a long haul flight on Thursday / Friday. Apparently will take 8 weeks to heal & at least 2 weeks before I won't need constant medication. I am moving very gingerly & to quote the good Dr. 'no laughing, no sneezing, no coughing ............(no breathing) and sit up straight like a queen!' (Oh .... & lay off the whisky)
It is quite cold here at the moment about 7 deg during the day. Matt & Greg are trying to catch up on work & the rest of us are generally being nuisances, reading, planning Todd & Alex's Xmas trip back here. We are going to have a BBQ for tea but something tells me we will be eating it inside. I am trying to drum up the energy to cook banana cake after some fairly non subtle hints.
