It's late and I'm waiting up for Brett, who is at the hospital. He has terrible chemical burns to both knees, caused by kneeling in wet cement for several hours yesterday, while he was laying the slab for his new shed. Sometimes the DIY way ain't always the best....

Last night his knees were red and painful and I made him wash the skin with vinegar to try and neutralise the alkalinity of the lime in the cement, but I guess the damage was already done because they are getting worse. This morning i drove him to the doctor, who put him on antibiotics, but by this evening his left knee was blown up like a ballon and he was in a dreadful pain. I rang his dad and asked him to take him to the hospital. That was 4 hours ago, last I heard he was still waiting to be seen, though the nurse had given him some pain relief. I dunno... men!
