I suck at titles.

It was a month ago yesterday that my brother Andrew was stabbed. He's been home a little while now but is still struggling. Had a long chat with his girlfriend this morning who told me that he still gets quite a bit of pain from the actual wound and she's trying to get him to go get it checked out to make sure it's all healing properly internally. His leg is still not good and he's still having to use a crutch which obviously he's finding really frustrating. He gets tired quickly and if he tries to walk too much - which he knows he shouldn't - it hurts a lot. The GP was concerned with how many painkillers he's taking and has now prescribed him something to take every night which is supposed to basically numb all the nerves so he shouldn't feel anything. He's due to go have some regular physio at the hospital to try and get full strength and feeling back in his leg but he's still waiting for an appointment. And apparently the guy who stabbed him wasn't one of the ones originally arrested and was only picked up last week. He damn well better get charged and sentenced appropriately for what he did to Andrew and his friend. And again - thank you all so much for your kind words and support during that time, it really did mean a great deal to me =)

1. Been a bit low the last few days so I'm sorry for going a bit quiet again. Was going to call yesterday a draw in the Muppet Versus the Emo battle, but then I got a couple of emails that really made me smile and also spent frickin ages on the phone with

purplella who is made of awesome and who I miss loads. She and

surfer_buoy are still living the Good Life in their yurt in Devon and apparently

surfer_buoy's ducks just laid their first eggs which made him extremely proud! *lol* If you're reading this SB, congratulations =)

2. I have a crossroads just a few steps outside my front door so have been thinking of making a demon deal. Obviously if you don't watch Supernatural you're 1) not understanding a damn thing I'm talking about here and 2) you're seriously deprived and why the hell aren't you watching it? Anyway - some obstacles to overcome ... 1) how to claw my way through the damn tarmac 2) how to not get run over whilst clawing my way through the damn tarmac and 3) what to do first with my naked Sammy Winchester once my wish is granted =) Now I know crossroads deals don't generally work out too well for the people who make them but I figured that as it's a 5-way crossroads instead of a 4-way, then maybe that means I get an extension period on the usual 10 years before I become Hell's bitch? Or maybe it means I get two wishes, in which case I'll ask for Chuck as my back-up plaything I think =)

And on that note I'll get back to work - or at least try to with images like that now flooding my brain! =D

Was going to poke you today as you've been a bit quiet.

That crossroads deal sound pretty interesting, throw in a Nekkid Dean and I might come and help you hold up traffic - you is doing the digging tho'! *shrieks* 'cos I'm a lazy cow that way.

Remind me one of these days to tell you the story about duck eggs - is he raising ducklings or pancakes? *smirk*

So, so sorry to hear bro is still struggling, but it really did sound like horrific surgery and stuff and cutting through major muscle tissue is the pits. I agree though he should go check out the wound and I really hope physio will help - if only in reassurance and confidence and getting realistic goals so he's not pushing himself too hard, which I expect he is in some ways. Frustrating is pain and frustrating is not knowing when things will get better, maybe he and his girlfriend could benefit from a victim's support group or something like that. Yeah, I hope they stick the bastard away for a long time, but even that is small comfort in opposition of the damage he's done, nothing can ever compensate for that. Utter. Selfish. Mean. BitofScumSuckingPondSlime.

WE do that Crossroads deal? I say we stick the demon curse on him eh?

oh boy I didn't know that with your brother. I'm a lame friend :(
*hugs*
I hope your brother gets through all this shit alright.

to 2.
of you get two wishes shouldn't you wish for no consequences for your wishes?

Wow, that was already a month ago? Everything moves so fast... I'm glad the police did catch the piece of scum who did it, though. If I saw him in the street I'd spit on him (if I knew what he looked like. I'm not gonna spit on some random person. Might be awkward).

I'm glad that you're feeling a little better (I hope!) and that the mashed potatoes helped :) I'm sorry I didn't email back last night, too--for some reason I fell asleep right in front of my computer for about two hours, hehe.

Methinks I shall have to play lollipop lady if you do want to make that crossroads deal. Shall we try it, when I come visit?

I'm so glad you're brother will, in the long run, be okay :) I'm also glad they got the guy(s) who did it! Do they know why they did it; random attack, wanted your bro or thought he was someone else?

*hugs*

I'm worried about your brother now. Is it possible he's pushing himself too hard to recover? I talked to a woman before my hys. who told me that she hadn't given herself time to heal, and she still was feeling pangs years later. She told me to stay in bed and not push myself until they told me it was time, and I did, and I haven't ever had any problems. *touch wood* It takes a long time for abdominal surgeries to heal, and it sounds like his was much more intense and random than a controlled hys. would be. I really, really hope he's okay.

I'm sorry you've been feeling low. *hugs tight* I've been a sicky so I've been kinda out of things too. I'm really glad that you found some bright spots to cheer you. I hope that they keep coming.

I think it's only natural, that Andy is frustrated. It's not easy to bounce back after such a serious injury. And men are the worst patients ever. I really hope the physio will help him.
The bastard who did this deserves the highest sentence possible.

Oh, and if I help you tear through the tarmac, will you include a guy for me, in your deal? I happily take Emmett or Dean or Rodney or Josef. Preferably all four of them... =D

I'm sorry to hear that your brother is still struggling. I hope his girlfriend can convince him to go get checked out again - even if it should turn out to be nothing - which of course, I hope is the case here - double checking is always better.
Apart from that I'm glad that the guy who stabbed him was arrested and I really hope he gets what he deserves!

1. "Muppet Versus the Emo" made me smile and immediately think of Chuck ;) Glad you won that battle, at least for now ;) *hugs*

2. "If you don't watch Supernatural you're seriously deprived and why the hell aren't you watching it?"
Never giving up on converting your flist to Supernatural fans, are you? :P

i was getting ready to email you soon, i was hoping you were okay.

Your poor brother, i'm glad he's recovering though.

He damn well better get charged indeed@!! Or i'll have to go bust some heads.

**HUGS**

awww the crossroads..always a tricky thing. Personally i'd vote for you keeping your soul hon.

Aww, I'm so glad your brother is recovering but sorry he is still in pain and what not.

You emo? *hugs*

I don't watch Supernatural. I know, I know. I'm a freak.

I thought there was something missing from my flist! Your posts! I do hope your brother starts to get better. The best thing for him is to try to get right back into what he was doing before, whether it's sports, work etc etc. Idleness always breeds more trouble/pain.

As for crossroads... go for it.. I'll kinda just stay.. um.. on my side of the world... :P hahahaha...

Oh and I was going to send you something.. but I can't seem to find your addy... did you have a post about it somewhere but if not...if you've still got my email addy can you send it my way?
Cheers!

Oh, Muppet, don't be emo! ...unless you have the hair for it. ^_^

Glad to hear that your brother is making progress. :)

Glad to read that your brother is improving. He had some major injuries and surgery so it's expected that he's going to have lingering pain. There is that inherent evil/hazard addiction to painkillers...it's something to watch out for. The night time meds that the doctor is prescribing sounds interesting. I hope they work for him. Also, I think people try to push themselves too hard during their recovery time which tends to really aggravate things.

Glad to read that the Strong!Muppet prevailed over emo!Muppet. You're getting better all the time.

My life has been very weird lately. Sorry I've not been around but I have a few devilettes to deal with...but they too shall be conquered.

*HUGE Hugs*

It's good to hear that your brother's making progress, even if it is slow going.

Victory over the emo! Although, Muppet versus the emo sounds kinda like a cool album title :).

Re: crossroads deal--I like the way your mind works.

*big hugs*

I hope your brother's physiotherapy helps with his progress. I'm relieved they caught the actual guy too! Things will hopefully just get better. ::hugs::
