Muppet's Journal

1) hospital: Deb took me to the hospital yesterday to have the stitches and steri-strips removed, though it'll be another 3 weeks before I have to go back to have the internal splints removed. Still hurts like hell and is pretty sore. With the steri-strips off I have to be really careful not to touch the nose as it's still pretty tender.

I can see the left splint inside my nose which sort of freaked me out but my surgeon says that's okay and nothing to worry about, and I still have a lot of 'stuff' coming out like lumpy little clots and whatever, which is pretty gross. My surgeon took a good look inside and seems pretty happy with how well it's healing, so that's good. Am also slightly freaked out that now the stitches are out, I can see the septum join isn't quite straight so I have this lumpy bit one side. Still, with all the stuff they've done to my nose over the years, I've always thought it just looks like someone slapped a blob of plasticine on my face in place of a real nose, so I guess it's another one of those things I'll learn to live with. It's not massively noticeable, except to me.

2) icons: I'd really like to get back to making icons - and I can't believe it's almost 4 months since I posted on paper_packages considering I used to do icon posts so much more regularly - so if anyone wants to offer me any ideas and/or inspiration, that would be more than welcome!

3) phones: For some strange reason that I've never been able to work out, my landline phones need names. If you don't input a name, it keeps beeping at you to prompt you. So all three of my landline phones have names and I've just changed the name of the one in Peter's room to this, which makes me smile when I use it and the name flashes up at me:



The other two phones are named Merlin and Danno. Merlin is the only one whose name has never changed =)


Hope you're all okay ♥
