I'm now getting the blunt edged weapon thumping. Though the lovely surgeon lady supplied me with 20 Oxycodone tablets and said if you use those up, I'll give you a prescription for more. Clearly she knows it is going to hurt a lot.
Originally, my GP gave me a referral to her because I'd had an angle grinder blade explode on me and hit my hand. She'd said, "I can try but they are submillimetre and the odds of finding and removing them are very low. I can fix the trapezium that is a mess of broken bone that is arthritic. I'll take it out and replace it with some scrunched up tendon that I'll take from a tendon in your arm. I'll do a exploratory for these particles while I'm in there". Well she told me yesterday, yes on Wednesday, that she'd discovered that I'd cut a nerve which was likely what was causing my problems. So she grafted it back together.
It seems that I was in very good hands.
and it is four in the morning.
I must have had a good enough sleep under the anaesthetic.
Maybe I should give going to sleep a try.
However, it is a full moon and it is 24˚C which isn't really amenable for sleep. It is slightly better than 30 but still not comfortable without having an aircon going. The price of the energy to run that 24/7 gets a bit difficult to keep up when the long heat wave periods are on.
Though I'm thankful I don't live in Marble Bar with 160 consecutive days above 37.8C or Oodnatatta which topped it's February record yesterday by measuring 48.7C.

Have had several storms form up here like the above and move away to intensify and wreak havoc on some other poor suckers. One smashed a nearby town with huge hailstones at dawn. Knocking hundreds of birds from their perches, killing and maiming them. They sent out requests for vetinary surgeons in nearby towns to help with all the birds and small animals being picked up by hundreds of concerned locals.

Happiness simply is.
There need be no pursuit.
