Mr Nibbles Diary

NessToday I should have followed Mr Nibbles habit and stayed in bed 
I may have broken my trapezium bone in the right hand. I will have to get an X-ray tomorrow unless the pain gets a lot better over night, then I will carry on cooling and hope for the best… my doc cracked up laughing as he heard how it happened:
My boss had gone to help one of our drivers, an old guy arrived in the meantime to bring some scrap metal, so I jumped in and took over the job. Sitting at big bosses desk after giving the customer his cash, I wheeled back the rather knackered leather desk chair which has rotten wheels, I opened the draw off the metal desk cupboard to put the money box back, the wheels got stuck, the chair folded up knocking me under the desk and my wrist got stuck in the metal draw which slammed shut and jammed
I felt a right wally lying their with my hand stuck and the chair on top of me! Not my day clearly

I think the chair should be out on the scrap heap 
I hope you can get some workplace compensation, for suffering at least. I hope your poor hand is better soon and there are no broken bones, it sounds so sore 
Mr Nibbles will be worried about Mom's sore paw 
Hopefully you will get a few whisker kisses to help it heal up

the chair is not been charged, big boss says the accident was caused by my clumsiness! I have been to the 2nd doctor, turns out he can’t xray either, due to technical issues. He has prescribed a bracer for my arm, I threw a tantrum about having it in plaster.
I told Nibbles I wouldn’t not get him out last night, guess what: of course i did! He was not that sympathetic it feels rough but better today. Boss says until YOU get married it will have recovered. He has the same lack of sympathy as Nibbles I am at work typing one handed so pls excuse any mistakes.

I am so sorry to hear this. Can you just go to an accident and emergency in the hospital? Then they'll do an x ray. If it's a hand bone it's good to know if something is broken or out of place. Someone I know broke a thumb just doing something minor and had to have a small op.
Unfortunately the AE here is really bad, last time I went it took 6 hours until I saw a doctor. They are very stressed and unfriendly due to the amount of people going there instead of going to their doctors. A specialist is also difficult as it takes ages to get an appointment. It used to be different years ago
I don’t think there is anything broken otherwise I would go and wait the hours. My doc said a cast or a bracer would be an option, so I decided for the bracer. Of course they didn’t have it at the pharmacy shop, but it will be there tomorrow morning they said. I have got a really good pain relief oil, it’s naturopathy and is working very well. I am hopeful it will be a fast recovery

Things are difficult everywhere, but I am sorry you are having a struggle I'm glad you can still interact with sweet Nibbles 
who seems to be exercising tough love 
It might be worth persevering now while the injury is fresh as it might be easier to fix things at this stage if anything needs to be fixed
I'm glad you can still interact with sweet Nibbles who seems to be exercising tough love It might be worth persevering now while the injury is fresh as it might be easier to fix things at this stage if anything needs to be fixed It’s really sad that national health service is declining, I think almost everywhere. I am getting on better with my hand today, very happy that apart from it being a bit sore the pain is okay. I am getting good at left hand copingThings are difficult everywhere, but I am sorry you are having a struggle
I hope Nibbles will want to come out tonight, it’s so sweet how he rubs his little body on the quilt doing flips and grunting. He is so good in the Pyrex taxi, I could easily handle it with my left hand.
If the healing progresses as so far, I will be okay
I am just skipping too much cleaning as long as Nibbles is sorted out the rest can wait.

I managed to put the rest of the panels in his playpen. I am now hot and sweaty but I hope he will like it. I could not just sit around any longer

Nibbles' playpen is superI am getting around
View attachment 13161
He loves his playpen! I am sooo tired he was in there for over a hour. I took him back to his house twice, first after 20 min, then after another 15 min, but he wasn’t having it! As soon as I put him back he came running to the door and jumped back in the jar! So each time I let him go back.
He runs around sniffing and making tunnels in the quilt he squeaks and rolls and seems so happy. He still tries his best climbing out, even climbing in my palm and up my arm. He would love to explore more. When he’s in his house he jumps on top of the mulitchamber and tries to climb up the wall, he knows behind there in that other room is his playpen well all the effort was worth it! I am drinking a strong coffee to wake me up. Wish you all an amazing day and hope the weather is as beautiful as it is here
