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*

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.

Out of all my brothers he's given me more trouble than any of them - more trouble than all of them combined I suppsoe - but when something like this happens that just doesn't matter. He's so not the type to talk about how he feels, he'll most likely just end up getting angry or whatever - I just hope that with time and regular physio his leg can be sorted, it'd be crappy for him if it was always going to be this way as he's only 24.

Thank you *hugs* I try and keep myself occupied with things that make me happy when I feel like this and when that doesn't work I sort of shut myself off a bit - just do what needs to be done and that's all - but I'm working on it and I have lovely freinds - and a wonderful flist =) - so I'm very lucky =)

I hope you're feeling better now - I've jsut had a virus which pretty much wiped me out the last couple of weeks, which hasn't helped.

*hugs*
