I went to the Suffolk coast on Saturday to deliver Privvi samples and to drop some display units and boxes into as many shops as I can. It’s now in another four shops and I’ve some potential leads which is great. I got a lift there and the train back as I can’t drive. IContinue reading “To wee beside the sea”

Summer ahead
I love this photo. It was taken on the sand dunes in April. It’s hard to imagine that sunshine when it seems to have rained all of this week. Apparently we’ve sun ahead and June is due to be warm. That would be welcome and I’m hoping the next four weeks will go quickly. MyContinue reading “Summer ahead”
The unwashed hand
I haven’t been able to wash my right hand since around 9am on Thursday 6th May. Quite gross but entirely necessary. I’m simply not allowed to get it wet while the stitches heal. They’re coming out this Friday but I don’t think I’ll be able to wash my hand for another week or two. IContinue reading “The unwashed hand”
What is a ‘toilet plume’?
As you know, I’ve a bit of a thing about toilets and I found myself researching information on public toilet hygiene today. I stumbled across the rather disgusting and unhygienic phenomenon of ‘toilet plumes’ (also known as ‘toilet turbulence’) Apparently, according to a recent scientific study, when a toilet is flushed it can expel largeContinue reading “What is a ‘toilet plume’?”
A stash of beans
I really like jelly beans and just ate most of a large bag. For me they’re a treat and I used to eat them when I had hospital treatment last time. I’ve got a stash of them hidden in my sock drawer as my family steal them if they’re left in the kitchen cupboard. IContinue reading “A stash of beans”
Super-sized foam arm
The hospital gave me this giant foam sling when I was discharged last week. They explained that it can be worn backwards as well to give the hand extra protection so I’ve been wearing it at night. My arm looks really weird, a bit like the Michelin man but it’s worked well (most nights). LastContinue reading “Super-sized foam arm”
The mystery package
It was my birthday yesterday but I didn’t do anything special. That suited me as I’m not really ready to go out and about just yet – my bandage is huge and very conspicuous plus I can’t get my coat sleeve over it (which is annoying). On the bright-side I can definitely carry on workingContinue reading “The mystery package”
The day after…
The operation went well yesterday. I went in at 7am and I got home early evening. I had to stay in for the day as my blood pressure was too low but it was good to rest. Feel surprisingly OK today and my hand and wrist’s sore but bearable. I’m trying to avoid pain killersContinue reading “The day after…”
The operation
A quick note from me today. I’m rushing to get everything done in time for tomorrow. It feels a bit like ‘the end’ but I must remember that it isn’t and it will pass. I have to keep my focus and try to keep on track. I’m feeling scared and nervous now. http://www.privvi.co.uk
Using a knife and fork
I’m aware of some of the challenges I’m going to face when I ‘lose’ my hand again on Thursday. It sounds like such a simple thing – to not be able to use one hand for an extended period of time, but from my experience it is surprisingly debilitating. I’m just trying to prepare soContinue reading “Using a knife and fork”
