So, hello again.
Today my husband was at the hospital to have surgery on his purulent toe. He has had that bad toe for a few months now. A toe nail grown badly into the skin. Against all advise from me and others, he did not go to the doctor before. Instead he tried to treat it on his own, which obviously didn't work. Last week I had enough and told him, that he cannot expect pity, once they amputate and that he might be lucky to be able to keep the foot. Ok, I exaggerated, but all the sweet talking didn't work, so I used more drastic methods, lol.
Yesterday he finally went to the doctor in our village who was quite shocked and immediately sent him to the hospital, because he could not risk cutting this open. I guess he was afraid of sepsis and other complications. A hospital was clearly the better choice. Today they cut it open. Now he has to let it heal slowly, which will definitely take until next year.
We don't know yet, if they left part of the toenail, but thank God the bone wasn't infected. The amputation part of my rant wasn't so far fetched.
He said that he is always very hopeful, but in my opinion this was pure stubbornness, lol.
But out of love I repressed my "told you so."
Yeah, that was our funny adventure today.
Other news: our new sofa will arrive on Thursday next week. Just so you know that from this point of time there will be an old red sofa haunting the paranet. Just be nice and sit on it from time to time, maybe put some stuffing back in. Or else it will haunt you and EAT YOU ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!! Mwahaharrrrr!
I am listening to The Law again. Just to hear Jim Butcher's voice, lol. And because my other audio book was finished when I was still on my way and I could not download the next one while still driving. But The Law was still on my phone so I just started this one.
Hope you are well.

Oooh. I am sorry about your husband. I mean, part of the problem was, of course, that he waited so much. My hubby is like that and even worse, but I won't tell more details here. Only that I understand you and I applaud you for saying "enough". I wish your husband a good recovery and if you refrain from the "told you so" you really love him :) :)
New old sofa!! I will put a sweater in it. For some reason, I always found the idea of a sweater casually laying over a sofa so homey and cozy.
Today is a very hot day. To make things worse, we had an event at the university. All the research groups in our Department made a sort of meeting, it is something we do every five years or so. A person from each group does a presentation, telling the others what they are working in and with what methods. Results are better left out, as interested people can find the papers, but the methods can light a buln in someone else. By the way, I did the lecture for my group. But the thing is that the lectures were on a big classrom with no air conditioning! (due to malfunction, not the lack of i). And the place was very hot.
Oh, and we are struggling with Disney :) The thing is, the authorities of the university decided a couple of years ago that they could rent part of our campus (the one normally used for sports) to events, for a nice sum, of course. And so, we have several days of an event, called Disney's magic Christmas or something like that. And due to that even, the buses stop entering (and leaving) the campus at 16:00. So annoying. Luckily today I left before 14:00 even, because I left just after the meeting I just told you about. But the Disney event will have functions every day from a week or so.
Dina:
update: my part on the event went well. Thursday was another very hot day. Friday stayed working at home, so I stayed away of the Disney shenaningans. Today, we will see. At least, temperature is nicer.
BugBear:
Regen, I have to plead guilty to reluctance about doctors, but never so badly I risked infecting bones! I'm glad to hear nothing crucial had to be cut off. And speaking of sofas, I just helped someone move theirs. A curse borne by all who own a truck. I am very tired.
Dina, glad to hear your presentation went smoothly. Hopefully you set off a few light bulbs (with any luck, perhaps ones about transportation arrangements when Disney is in town). It has also mellowed out here, but in the opposite direction.

Thank you :). And well, Summer is coming here. Days are moderately cool this week. I mean, the afternoons are quite warms, but the nights and early mornings are quite cooler. It is also sunny.
