Ideal solution for reducing pain after surgery
My hand is still hurting from the surgery last Monday. Yesterday the Nurse suggested that I apply cold to my hand to help the pain and reduce the swelling. He advised putting ice cubes in a bag and holding them for 10 minutes.
I decided that holding a tub of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream in my hand would have the same effect and that I’d actually enjoy it at the same time!
I explained this to my Mum (who called at the same time as the ice cream eating) and she said it was the best excuse she’d ever heard for eating ice cream!
The diet will have to start again tomorrow…
Who needs an excuse to eat Ben & Jerry’s ice cream? Although yes, yours is certainly the best excuse ever!
No excuse needed of course!
Hahahahahahahaha!! I just caught this one!! (Catching up on blog reading, I am!!
)
That is freaking brilliant, chick!! I wish I would have thought about that for my ankle when I hurt it! No, I guess it really would not have helped the ankle much, with a tub of ice cream in my hand, though. Heh!!
You are one intelligent gal, Piglet!
P.S. I hope the hand is feeling much better, BTW.
The extra kilos are not so clever! Ben & Jerries is very addictive and the days are getting brighter now so had better start trying to loose some weight and quick!
You could always have put the tubof ice cream between your ankles in a yoga type position – the cold would have been good for the swelling! I’m not sure if that makes sense but I’m sure you’ll understand. I take it your ankle is better now?
Hand much better thanks, stitches are out and typing with two hands again! I just love the French medical system – I get physio five times a week! Its great and I’ll be able to make the end of the ski season with a bit of chance!!
