He is just so sensitive...

Ah, back to Allentown for Bink today. Fortunately the weather didn't catch him until he was about a half hour from home.

The wrist ortho had first dibs today. Things are progressing well with his wrists. He has commented that he feels like he has more use of them then initially (duh!) and his doc and PT have said that at this point "better" will be incremental changes. Overall, things look well with his wrists and he, like the back ortho, has cleared Bink for light duty. Alas, the back ortho said light duty could not come until January 20th though. Which leads to the next visit.

For about the past week, Bink has been getting the biggest pustules (on his chest) you have seen since eighth grade. Okay, fine, big, pussy zits. Anyway, because he was headed down to Allentown today he decided that he would try to stop by Burn Recovery to see what they thought. Fortunately they were able to squeeze (te-he) him in. Turns out that Mr. Sensitive is no longer allowed to use Eucerin on any part of his body as he is breaking out because it is too oily. He was given a new script for his aspirin concoction that now will have a base of cocoa butter. He hates the smell of cocoa butter and was resisting this one from the start. Oh well, that's how it goes really.

For a bit of a conundrum, Burn Recovery has also advised that Bink can be released for light duty. However, their stipulations make it curious what his return to work will look like. He is not to be exposed to short-term (or prolonged) heat or cold, he is not to stand in one general position, he is to limit his bending/stretching and he can't lift more than 10 pounds. Hopefully over the next week or so he will have a better guess at what work will mean for him.

I hope you all have enjoyed your holidays. Take care.
