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

*hugs all*

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?

Yeah, I figured I was due more pokes from people than I'd already got, so thought I'd better post some rambly nonsesne =) *hugs* But thanks for thinking of me =)

Well you'll have to beat deans_babe out of the way for the nekkid Dean - she's already offered to steal the digging equipment we need from work to get her hands on that particular prize - but make you could share?

I'm not surprised he's still struggling but it's difficult to know what to do really - he's not the kind of person to talk about how he's feeling at all and I honestly think it would help him - even a little bit - to maybe have some counselling but I know that will never happen. I'd just like to see him get the physio quickly so he can start working on getting his leg sorted, if it can be. At least then he'd have something constructive to focus on. But hey, at least he's okay, right? I also want to try and find out the court date for this asshole so I can go along - I want to see for myself that he gets what he deserves.

*hugs*
