Road drills, Stihl saws and arthritis.


Diary of an accident victim
Part 51


5th August 2010


Last night, or rather this morning I went to bed late, very late.

Pain is the reason, spending time at work when you have an arthritic foot means that it has a tendency to hurt in the evening, even on those days where I feel good in the morning. It is also the reason I watch really bad films such as "Yeti: Curse of the snow demon" on the SyFy channel, a film that manages to be even worse than its title.

But late nights don't really matter, I work late shift, from 2 to 10 PM so I can always catch up on sleep. Or so I thought.

This morning though the sleep in was shattered. 7.30am the sound of the Stihl saw was heard from the street outside. If that wasn't bad enough it was followed by the even louder sound of a pneumatic drill, they are laying a new gas main.

Oh great.

So here I am, tired and grumpy.

And the foot still hurts.

...to be continued.
