It's now 100 days since I broke my ankle and today, six weeks after my last visit, I discover why there's still so much pain...
Simple really - my ankle is STILL broken...
The X Rays today show the black line that is the break, almost as clearly as they did back in January...
And so my entire X Ray history is put in front of the consultant...
His verdict?
Give it another three months...
I am to return in June. Meanwhile physio will, I imagine, continue - and, for the next 10 weeks, I have preferential membership of a local gym to exercise the joint...
I am a little disapponted and disheartened but must just get on with it...
As I leave the consultation, it's started to snow quite heavily and a few of the hospital staff are out throwing snowballs around...
In the afternoon Jamie calls and says he might come round tonight to start work on his EP. I go out and buy some Tunnocks Caramel Logs just in case he makes it...
In the evening, while we wait for Jamie, we watch Corrie then I am driven upstairs, glass of red wine in hand, by the terrible pish that is Eastenders...
I update the blog while I wait for Jamie but alas, he doesn't make it - but says he'll deliver the tracks over the weekend - so I'll have a go at a mix and he wants to add some percussion....
We watch The IT Crowd - although Anne falls asleep - and then I stay up to watch a documentary on BBC1 about Glam Rock....
It features chapters on Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Slade, Bryan Ferry, Suzi Quatro and Elton John but no Gary Glitter (apart from one three second shot)....
I'm sorry, but how on earth can you have a documentary about Glam Rock and not spend some time on Gary Glitter?
Now, I know he was jailed in Vietnam today for three years for charges of child sex and served 2 months in prison in 1999 for allegedly having downloaded child pornography, but surely his music does not suddenly become invalid due to al this....
Do we not still listen to Phil Spector's music and production work despite the fact he shot a woman's face off?
Do we banish Eric Clapton's Derek & The Dominoes records because the drummer, Jim Gordon, is a murderer? (Ok I know we should banish that music anyway because it involves the very BORING Eric Clapton...)
When did it all of a sudden become more heinous to be a sex offender than to be a murderer?
I hope, if Gary Glitter does come back to the UK - he's likely to be out in 8 months and deported back to Britain by the end of the year - the tabloid press, who very probably paid to have him framed out in Vietnam, will finally leave him in peace...
Or maybe he is a child molester...
But I still love those early singles...
Oooh - controversial...
Highlight of the Day : The snow was nice...
