The Last Bucky Post of 2015

[przed]

I had my regular acupuncture appointment last night, so I stayed up late to watch the Wisconsin v. Duke game so I wouldn't be spoiled today on the outcome.

I was really hoping the Badgers could pull it off. Not only because they're my team, but because I don't think Duke needs yet another NCAA title. Alas, though it was a really good game and the Badgers led by as much as 9 points in the second half, they sort of fell apart at the end and Duke took the title.

In other news, after five weeks off, I'm going back to Taekwando class tonight. I haven't mentioned it, but remember that surprise angiogram I had that flattened me for a few days? Well, I ended up getting a hematoma at the incision site. (For those of you who are lucky enough never to have had one, that's a big swelling of built up blood.) It was surprisingly painful, and since it basically meant the major artery they'd used for the angiogram was, in the words of a nurse I work with, "leaky" I didn't think throwing a bunch of roundhouse kicks was going to be the best thing in the world for it.

There is still a tiny bit of swelling, but at least I'm not limping around anymore and by this point I gotta figure the leakiness is fixed. Fingers crossed.

Alas, poor Badgers. Mind you, it confirms exactly what I've always thought about basketball: don't watch anything until the last five minutes. It always seems to come down to the last five minutes....

Yay for a return to class! Ouch for the reason why you've been out, but I'm so glad it is resolving and you'll be able to get back to doing what you love to do. *Fingers crossed*

Crikey! Sorry to hear you've been in the wars, and a leaky major artery sounds pretty worrying to me! Very glad it's fixed up and you can go back to your roundhouse kicks - you never know when you might need one... *g*

Heh, although I still don't know what sport the badgers you speak of play, I did notice that they lost (on a twitter feed I look up because it talks mostly about tennis) and extended telepathic sympathy to you *hugs* *g* Sports, eh?

I'm sorry you had to suffer a haematoma. I'd be confident the artery is fine now, but the last thing you needed was any more trauma to the area, it would have hurt like hell apart from anything. I'm just generally hoping, on many levels, that you never need an angiogram again... *hugs some more*

Ouch. That doesn't sound like fun. I hope the class goes well tonight.

Oh yuk, the haematoma doesn't sound good at all! I am with you on the relief when the leak closes up. My leaky scar did in the end, too, and oh, the relief!

Now I have misread your tag as 'bandages' instead of 'badgers'. Oh dear!

Enjoy the Taekwando!
