Fruit Machine Chat

I was walking home in the early hours of tuesday morning, after a skinful of lager, when I tripped and fell forwards breaking my ankle in two places.
It was the snows fault. What I think happened was the snow covered the kerb and I didnt realise, until it was too late. Not really sure, it was £1 a pint night so that didnt help!
I remember laying down in the snow for about 10 minutes before I could work through pain to drag myself up and sit on a nearby bench so I could ring an ambulance.
Spent most of yesterday doped up to the eyeballs.

Im going to be in a tight cast for 6 weeks now and laid up in bed. I cant even move about because it throbs like hell when I do. I have just been discharged from hospital and am now at home.

Does anyone have any tips for when it itches? As I was warned against pushing objects down the cast. A nurse told me that a hairdryer on cool setting will help, but I havent tried it yet.

Can't help with the itching question mate, maybe this guy can?

The problem is i got a whole chemists shop, inc. codeine, paracetomol, aspirin and somethin to do with me not gettin an ulcer! Wouldnt antihist's mess with them?

Nope safe as houses, safe as taking on an unchipped 4dinging Reel King! Potential cumulative sedative effect with the codeine + earlier generation antihistamines, but that's about the worst of it. Just checking the BNF here in the Nudgecave, hmmmm, ulcer drugs, probably omeprazole or lansoprazole, one of the PPIs I would suspect. Again no problem, can't see any problems here unless you have a specific allergy to a certain type of antihistamine (unlikely). Also if you're pregnant you shouldn't be taking them unless under the advice of a doctor

Cool. Thanks for that, all have to do now is find some to go to the chemist for me!
