Poor Dave, Poor Claire, you're gonna need a pair of rollerskates!
I do hope that the surgeons giving Dave the worst case scenarios doesn't make him think his hand is a lost cause

I can imagine him wittering away to himself, making him scared witless.
Sorry for frightening you with my noisy taps
I shall call you in a day or three to see how Dave is fairing. Use your time off wisely, in that I mean, you have a lot of running around to do, so make sure you get some hours to yourself

If you get really fed up, I'll come down, you only need to say.
One question though....if he can't scratch his nuts, and he can't eat rolo desserts, how the hell is he going to make his hair all vidal sassoon?
