@jextxadore It's to avoid a bruise forming, like this one
that's almost a week old.
Having had a blood sample extracted from my left arm today, I've been advised to avoid heavy lifting with that arm. A 21.5 inch iMac & accessories in its original box weighs a bit over 6 kg. Is that considered heavy?
@literary Don't feel so sad, I have 20-20 vision in one eye and I still use bold text on my iPhone. And I use reading glasses.
I did very similar damage years ago to a work-assigned van. Took it to an assessor, who then demanded to know why it was still being driven as it was supposed to have departed the vehicle fleet six months earlier! At that stage I'd been using it for five months after I'd rolled & written off an earlier van. The next day I was assigned a brand-new Toyota Hi-Ace, way superior to the Mazda E1800 I'd broken.
@bazbt3 Reminds me of the one about the Irishman who wrote to Tampax saying "Dear sir, I've been trying your product for six months now, but I still can't ride a bike, play tennis or swim."
14°C at present, allegedly. I'm abed wearing a polo shirt & heavy woolen coat plus sweatpants and am almost warm under the covers. It's supposed to reach 26°C tomorrow.
Nice light meal: presswurst (with cucumbers) on rye toast with a touch of quark cheese.
Have to organise a colonoscopy & gastroscopy to see if I'm leaking blood anywhere inside. And have to organise a driver, there are two local volunteer organisations that do that sort of thing. Plus I have another blood test to be done tomorrow morning.
