Just call me Vincent ............
I work in an injury studies research centre, and one of our main areas of focus is falls in the elderly … this morning I slipped over in my chook pen (knee-deep in mud after all this rain), and hit my head on a sharp bit of the shelter. Took a lovely slice through the top of my ear, but fortunately it didn’t go all the way. I don’t think they’d have bothered to reattach it after I’d fished it out of the chookpoo soup!
I now have three or four stitches (hard to tell with the local), and a very attractive little bandage, not to mention slightly pink tints to my newly blonded hair! And just how DO you have wash your hair and keep your ear dry????????
I’m going to look so glamorous for my Grand Final weekend in Melbourne LOL

Put a plastic bag over your ear??
Denzil replied

Van Gogh? Price?
Whichever, you take care. Ear should never have been made to stick out :)
Denzil replied
Van Gogh – but with a touch of Vincent! And my ears always have stuck out actually – I joked with the doctor that she should just pin at least one of them back while she was at it!!!!

Oh Denzil you poor thing – no doubt about it, keeping chooks is more hazardous than bungey jumping!! I wonder if the chookies found the extra bit of protein….. sorry dear, bad joke (yoke)..... anyway, I hope it’s not too painful, and really you’re lucky you didn’t break a hip, or worse….. have a great weekend away, a glass or two or champers will take away the pain!!
Denzil replied
Thank you dear one! Yes, isn’t it bizarre that banging your head could save you from a hard landing!!! I’m already practising on the champers…

Oh Dear, you poor thing. Hope it isn’t too sore, and be careful not to sit next to anyone too enthusiastic at the Game or they might belt you in the ear. I assume you are going to the Game.
I was gonna ask you if you worked in Pathology in Flinders Private. I was there yesterday and the lady looked a bit like you.
Denzil replied
Thanks!!! It isn’t sore at all now, thank heavens, and the little bandage is really quite discreet. I was being a drama queen earlier …
Unfortunately I haven’t got tickets to the game – I’m a Crows member and every year I book airfares and hotels really early in the year, March or so, when they’re cheap, in the hope that the Crows will make it, and I’ll get tickets … so far, no luck!! We usually watch it with friends, at a pub, or on TV – and given what the weather’s going to be like on Saturday, a livingroom is looking good!!!
No, I don’t work at Flinders Private, but at a research centre a bit down Sturt Rd. See you next week perhaps??
