Puts the "pro" in procrastination
Show him youtube vidjas of people draining gouty joints of urea crystals. That'll make him feel better.
Quick phone call today with the nurse from the surgeon's office confirmed that I'll be out of work recovering for another 3+ weeks while this open wound heals. Nothing more that can be done. I'm a week out since surgery and I see zero progress towards healing. Changing gauze 3x a day, all gross and nasty. Edge of the wound is at the inflamed stage right now. Feels like an open flame on my skin most of the time.
Merry fucking Christmas to me!
Merry fucking Christmas to me!

Always shouts out something obscene
Fuuuck. See if they'll give you some silver gauze if it continues not to heal. Sounds like hippie shit, but it's good science

I am now in week 10 of long covid. Yesterday I was exhausted because I stayed up late watching TV Saturday. I had to walk Dax because he desperately needed to go out and exercise, after that 15 minute stroll I spoke to a friend on the phone for half an hour and was then dead to the world. Passed out in bed and couldn't get up the rest of the day. I've woken up feeling just as bad today. This is going to be the perfect end to 2020.

You just spent a day resting - of course you feel better. I can't figure out if I have long covid or not. Like I told my wife "I'm 60, I do shit that causes aches & pains, I smoke dope and drink moderately. Plus I'm an insomniac. How could I tell?" But seriously, hope you get feeling better. I agree with others - for a smallish person you seem to really put down the sauce once you get started. Maybe that is a factor to your good & bad days?
I met up with a friend after work yesterday. He had covid about a week before I did. Two months later he still has issues breathing from time to time.

I'm not drinking at the moment since it doesn't seem like it would conducive to recovery. Any pics posted are Joe's that I wanted to show zac and april.
And my drinking is pretty British standard. We have the genetics for it. I can't wait to be better to drink tasty beer.
It's almost mid day and I'm still feeling good!
Nobody has genetics for it. Brits are as susceptible to alcoholism and sugar related issues as anyone else.
Glad you're feeling better.

You seem alarmingly paranoid about alcoholism. I imagine that's a personal thing for you rather than anything to do with me.
But here it's almost impossible to tell who's an alcoholic and who isn't. We all drink loads. I seem to remember people on here being surprised when I drank the bottle of grain alcohol @Dory brought back from the US and pronounced it sweet.

I imagine hundreds of years drinking wine over water, and drinking pints at lunch time probably does create a better constitution for it actually. Learned behaviours and such can certainly influence genetic change and traits.
