I'll apologise in advance for the yuckiness of this post.
I'm in agony, so much pain. I have an abcess on my thigh which started last week as a small lump which has gradually grown in size (and pain since). My yesterday afternoon it was too much to bear and I went down to A & E.
It was so undignified, I dropped my jeans and lay as he prodded and squeezed as I wimpered and bit my lip. I was hoping he would be able to do something there and then, like cut into and drain all the goo out but he said it wasn't ripe enough. He prescribed antibiotics and codeine and told me I have to go back tomorrow to have it drained which fills me with dread as they will basically pop it by squeezing it.
They put a padded dressing on it for protection and I have been drugged up to the eyeballs on the codeine which makes me feel drowsy and drunk. I am now sat in so much pain as one dose has worn off but it's not time for my next one. At least when I do take some it will knock me out and I cannot feel pain when I am sleeping.

Post New York Report!
Wow, I haven't updated this for ages. Here's what I have been up to:
Well, on 27th August me and Magnus went to NYC and it was AWESOME! It's the one place I have always wanted to go, so it really was a trip of a lifetime for me. We visited loads of places and I loved every second. We went to the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Madam Tussauds, NYPD Museum, Times Sq, Central Park plus loads more I have probably forgotten! We also stopped by Ground Zero, and went to the memorial musuem which is run by the 9/11 families association which was really touching and emotional. The one thing I didn't like was the people selling souvenirs next to Ground Zero. I found that so disrespectful and slightly disturbing.
WW wise, I threw the book out of the window as far as I could and ate and drank what I wanted. I knew I would put on weight, but wasn't really bothered. I knew I could get rid of it again. And I did put on weight, a whopping great 5lb!!
I had planned to hit the gym with a vengence on my return unfortunatly that wasn't to be as my poor little princess came down with swine flu. She is over it now but I was basically sat in the house for 5 days with her. She was a brave little thing though and is thankfully back on her feet and well again.
So, when I went to weigh in last night I wasn't hoping for much. I had pretty much reverted back to healthy eating but hadn't really bothered pointing or tracking and so was utterly amazed that I lost 7.5lb - how the hell did that happen??!! I got my next silver seven and am now at 63lb / 4.5 stone loss.
To make things even better, I stopped off at Sainsburys on my way home from work today and had a quick look at clothes in the sale. I tried on a pair of size 14 jeans to see how far off I am now and they fastened! (Ok, I couldn't move or breathe but I got them fastened!!)
Here are my NY pics if you fancy having a look:
