How Many Days Bed Rest Do I Need?

[barry1010]

I have stubbed by naked toes! They even bled. It's agony, I tell you.

I think I need three days in bed. My wife is telling me to wash the windows.

Will I win this argument, do you think?

[Theland]

I can't even after slipping with the scissors, (toenail injury).
Problem is one of our cats was sick on my mattress :-(
Need bed, need bed, need bed!

[barry1010]

I’ve been a brave soldier and the windows are clean. I kept my grumbling to just below audible and my cries of pain to ear jangling. I deserve a blooming medal

[anneasquith]

Think of the ‘ brownie points’ . You are a very brave big soldier.

[barry1010]

Thank you, Anne. I think it’s going septic. My wife is sceptic

[Tilly2]

How's your toe, Barry?

it was getting better until he stubbed it on the ladder . . .

[mallyh]

i'm glad you towed the line and yiour wife has nice clean windows :-)

[barry1010]

My wife tells me my toe is better, thank you for asking.

I think it might need amputating

[Bazile]

Have you hinted to her for some other sign of appreciation ? ...nudge nudge wink wink

[Samuraisan]

That actually made me laugh out loud ! Thanks barry1010

[barry1010]

I'm in far too much pain for those sort of high jinks, Bazile. I am now expected to get in the garden and pick the veg for dinner and the last of the blackberries for the crumble.

[mallyh]

[aelmpvw]

there's always someone worse off barry . . .

Barry remember there's always some one worse off than you

Old Confucius , he say , "man with no shoes should feel sorry for man with no feet "

[Peter Pedant]

say you have long covid

[Peter Pedant]

the film still is from catch 22
the nurses talk over each other and dont stop
and swap the urine bottle for the IV
and then walk away - talking all the time

[Peter Pedant]

o seriously hem hem
talk paracet and ibuprofen
remember ranitidine if you are as old as the rest of us
and
tape the black toe to the next well toe - splinting

[barry1010]

I've read the book and watched the film several times, PP. It amuses me.

Lame excuses? How very dare you, mally! (Are you my wife undercover?)
