I made carrot cake at work last week, we served it yesterday, and it was absolutely delicious!
It wasn't my recipe, but it wasn't from a box either. So I did OK!  :laugh:

And this is the part where I have to be sure not to screw it up and do too much before my body is completely healed. That's what I usually do :P I have an appt with the Respirologist the middle of December to get the all clear.  :thumbup:

I followed Celticgoddess's advice to de-hoard in 20-minute intervals, with 10-minute posting breaks in between.
Now my laundry is in the washer, hours earlier than it probably would have been without that schedule!   :green:

No, unfortunately. They are probably there, but I don't tend to go out a lot at home. Had more of an opportunity up here, and in a way it was a bit of luck. pandora's brother got us to go to the first gig, and mentioned people just got up and played. Took off from there.

A longtime friend that I haven't seen in years invited me to a young adult retreat with my church. So I went, even though I was terrified (so many people I haven't seen in 20 years, from my days as a camper/counselor) but it was amazing. He told people about my situation before I arrived so when I got there, I was surrounded by support and shoulders to lean on. I've got a lot of people here now who will be looking out for me and keeping in touch to make sure I'm okay. Plus I got through 12 hours of socializing  :zombiefuck: still recovering from that part though.

I'm being allowed to renovate the granny flat above the garage. We're all living in it at the moment, but when the main house is done up my friend is going to live in the granny flat herself.

Eating healthy is like owning a gun for self-defense: it's a way of preparing for the worst that the future has to offer. In both cases, actions in the present could have the effect of making the future turn out better than it otherwise would have. All that is required is planning ahead.

All right heres one. Other day me and a bro were walking back from the strip mall, and we encounter a gigantic dog. My buddy acts like he's gonna piss his pants, and suddenly the dog acts agressive and starts following us. My pals all freaking out, when finally I inform him that dogs sense things humans don't, and the dog is just acting like that because of the image my buddy is portraying.

I promptly turn around, give the dog one of my famous "looks", and tell it to fuck off. It whined a little, and ran away. Go Rage eh?  :green:

Well I hope you find a good one that doesn't hurt you. The one I go to is across the road from where I used to live with GA. I first went there when I chipped a tooth. I haven't had to have any other work done though so I must be looking after my teeth pretty well.

Good for you for taking good care of your teeth. I have needed some new fillings for awhile now, so I must get to it!  :viking:

If you have silver fillings from long ago, they usually contain mercury, which is considered dangerous now;

All this time I've been getting amalgam. I'd better look into this! Do the plastic ones match your teeth, and are they a bit softer?
I am embarrassed about the amount of metal I have and would love to have fillings that blend better.

My dentist almost solely uses composite fillings. In Germany they were obligatory for females under 35 a couple of years ago, because of mercury dangers to unborn children. (They could get autism of course....)

There are pros and cons to composite fillings. Maybe  this article on Wikipedia  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_composite)can help you out a bit further. It can be made in a shade of ivory to match your teeth perfectly though, that is a nice thing indeed.

I got really mad with someone today, got quite vocal too, and told the person to leave my house.

It worked, short and sweet. I felt good after that. :viking:

My oldest said she was a bit angry with me, for having this row, and that she was a bit angry with the other person for the same reason too.
I have told her I was sorry for having this row where she was attending, but also that I was damn proud of myself that I had started it.
That led to some good daughter-mum talking.

I submitted my final project (website) last night and had one of my final exams this morning.

I don't know what my grade my final project will get, but that final exam was graded instantly and I got a 100!

Now, I've got two more final exams on Tuesday and after that, I'm DONE for the spring semester! ;D

Well, I didn't actually do this right, it just happened this way.  PA was the first guy who asked me to marry him. Hell, he was the first guy I'd had more than 5 dates with.  We were almost 35 (me) and 43 (PA).  We'd never lived with anyone, never been married before and were mature enough that we were mostly grown in our opinions, values and attitudes.  Our marriage isn't a bed of roses, but it's definitely a very large bouquet of life.

 has done in the past when I've had bronchitis.  She did, I picked them up and here I am! 
 I'll soon be feeling better. :thumbup:

 I thought the bronchitis would clear up on its own, since I was no longer feverish and
 felt so much better.  However, I am still very congested and so I need more help than just
 the cough syrup.  Now that I have the antibiotics, I should be over this in no time!  8)

Removed   and reinstalled diagonal tongue and grove siding after doing the work behind it that I had to do.  When I was done except for the new nails you could not tell it had been off

Are you now into weird surgery?


toung and groove siding is siding that goes along the lines of this shape
  ______
<_____<      the "toung" or bulge on the left fits into the "Grove" or indent on the left. i dont know about the nails. only ever helped do flooring and that was glued down, not nailed. either way i suppose you should nail the siding in as glue may deteriorate over time?

Ah, thank you. It now makes sense. Even the nails. Panels placed like that do need nails.





Was fun to imagine Parts having a side job as a freaky plastic surgeon though.

It is how I got asthma in the first place when I was 18. Now I have to take meds every day for it. There are different types and severities too. GA has it and she gets wheezy. Whereas if I forget my meds I start coughing a lot and get phlegm in my bronchial tubes from the irritation.

I have had a few attacks but nothing really serious. And QV is right, you do advise others to go to the doctor very quickly so you should do the same.

 My doctor orders that stuff too but she is willing to phone in prescriptions because I get

 I remember my lung functioning was tested one year with a device that I had to blow into,
 and even with bronchitis my lungs were working at 98% of capacity, so I never asked about
 asthma testing because I assumed asthmatic lungs would have functioned far worse.

When tested with that thing (peak flow I think), mine and GA's lungs are actually pretty good too but we both still have asthma. Maybe there is no definitive test for asthma, not sure.

I had a few chest infections in a row (would get over one and then get another) and then I remember waking up one day wheezing and tried to go about the day as normal but this shortness of breath was audible so I said to mum I couldn't breathe properly. She took me to the doctor and my peak flow wasn't that good right then because I was having an asthma attack. Normally, it is the same as everyone else's. The doctor had a sample of Ventolin right there which I took and it relieved the wheezing.

I was prescribed Pulmicort (preventer) and Bricanyl(sp) (for acute attacks) and did I take the preventer like I should? No, because I thought I didn't need it. I just kept having attacks and used the Bricanyl until I learnt that using the preventer means I don't have constant asthma. Now I am on a different preventer called Seretide that works better than Pulmicort did.

 Today I politely declined an invitation to an Easter brunch.  I like the family that's
 hosting it, but I went last year and it ended up being about a six-hour day, which is
 a bit long for me to be out socializing.  My brother (who conveyed the invitation)
 remarked that both he and a friend of ours have noticed my tendency to "shut down"
 after a few hours of socializing.  I don't have sensory or speech problems but I do
 get tired and withdrawn and long to be home.  I am not a good guest for longer
 than a few hours.  Living alone is very beneficial to me.  :nicegear:

We have had breakins in the neighborhood mailboxes so I went door to door to collect money for a night vision camera to monitor who is breaking into the mailboxes. Anyway it must have gotten out that there was a hidden camera because they stopped breaking in the mailboxes and they even stopped tagging it. So even though we never found out who did it we stopped them from stealing our mail.

You probably wound up knocking on the door of the thief.

I know. That's why I never divulged WHICH set of mailboxes was to have the actual camera. I told the donors not to tell anyone where the camera was going to be set up because I knew if people knew which mailboxes were monitored and which ones weren't they'd only go after the unmonitored mailboxes. When I was asked by a non donor I lied and said " I haven't decided yet".because I knew it would get out. People have big mouths. Anyway, it worked. :mischief:

We don't have mailboxes as a rule.  We have front doors with a letterbox.  Postman shoves mail through hole,  and bingo it is safely in your property and the family mutt is free to rip it to shreds :zoinks:

^we should have that but the postal workers are too lazy to do their jobs. They shove everything they can into the mailbox instead of leaving packages infront of the door. Also their union makes sure they get paid a lot. My mother has complained about how they shove everything into the mailboxes so it is almost impossible to get them out from the other side. She has arthritis and you'd think they'd build mailboxes that aren't so easy to break into.

And if the packages are too big to fit in the mailbox, they'll just leave a pink slip without even bothering to knock on the door. I've had this happen to me multiple times. I'd say pay the extra few bucks to have it shipped via UPS or FedEx, fuck the USPoS.

And we were both upset, so I cant/he wont sell me anything else without paypal from now on because of fucking FedEx.

Finding a new batch of courage to live on.  :thumbup:

Don't know if I should give myself credit for bringing a runaway dog back to her house. Heard later that her house is not the best place for her. They don't even actively search for her, when missing, nor crave her back even if she has gone missing for almost a week. Had not seen her before, but, she seems to be a notorious run away doggy.  When I found out where she belonged, I was not happy right away, because I have noticed how the kids are being treated there.
Don't know what I will do next time, when she spends the night in my front garden.

All the teen programs from abroad are dubbed here using the voices of the same handful of people. So, all programs sound the same. And on suite life, every person in the series that wasn't there every part of the series was done by one and the same person, someone with a terribly annoying voice. Horrible.

  My front teeth broke because they were worn thin from decades of grinding.  Now a few of my molars,
  which have huge silver fillings with fragile shells of enamel outside, are breaking because they are old and brittle.
  My dentist will surely have an ( expensive  :P ) plan to fix this one.  Meanwhile I must be careful biting into things!

Brown rice with a squirt of lemon juice, and eggs (yolks intact) cooked over sauteed onions and pepper. At the end I added a swirl of sriracha sauce to the eggs.

And of course, a teeny bit of salt added to the rice (along with olive oil), and the seasoning for the onions also included some salt.

You are correct. I remember when I was the dishwasher/busser at this retirement community and I had to get people there drinks, this one lady swore up and down that I gave her the wrong drink. I don't remember what flavor she wanted and what she ultimately ended up getting but she made it an international incident by calling my boss over to taste her drink for her because she just knew I gave her the wrong one. And the thing that really pissed me off is while everyone there was clearly elderly, this bitch looked like she was in her 30's. I wanted to grab her head and slam it on the table when she was causing such a scene,  :thumbdn:

I have never seen caterpillars like that before.

Not sure if I have written this before, but I signed up and have been accepted as a bone marrow donor. Got a card for it too (which I have misplaced during moving). I found out something interesting; if I donate bone marrow, I can't donate again for another 2 years.

  Donating lifesaving marrow is a great service.  Maybe it takes the marrow two years to rebuild after donation?  :apondering:

I think that is the case. Also, the extraction process involves general anaesthetic.

Wow Ren, I don't think I am brave enough to donate bone marrow, just like that.

I am taking credit for writing a letter though.
Wrote one to a very good friend of my brother. I found an article that I thought would interest him, and wrote a letter to go with it.
On BD's, my brother, his friend and his wife, and I, tend to find a place of our own, to have great conversations.

It has been way too long, that I sat down to write a letter, using pen and paper. I liked it. And, as usual, I put some theme stamps on the envelope. This time with quotations and pictures of Dutch writers.

Either that, or it is damaged :/

No, the left one. I used to just overpower the right one, but it couldn't take it anymore.

Using both hemispheres for the same things is pretty weird.

I claim to be roughly aware of my brain activity and to react according to it, with zero evidence to support that.

Though, there is neuro feedback training and it shows that you can learn to influence your brainwaves and change if areas get activated given that you are aware of it (by the technology, like PET scans and EEGs).

  Some of my back teeth have huge fillings and weak enamel and are in need of crowns.
  Today I started with the one most in need, a molar that had a root canal in 2011.  I spent 2.5 hours at the dentist,
  having the tooth ground down (almost painless, since the nerve is gone) and being fitted with a temporary crown
  (stuck on with permanent adhesive) till the permanent crown comes back from the lab in about 3 weeks.  :thumbup:

I had a real big disappointment with someone.  So I did the suggested thing about letting them go.  I imagined them as a little, tiny bunny in my hands.  I knelt down to let the bunny go. 

As it hopped away I realized I was going about this all wrong. I didn't need to let her go.  I needed to walk away from the situation.  So I stood up, turned my back and walked away.

I accepted that the problem was with me, not them (true).  I had built up unreasonable expectations.  I think I grew up just a wee bit more with this exercise.

I felt grateful for the silence when I cam home because the guest in using her headphones now :)

I could have been annoyed about not having headphones...but I thought "Wait a minute you ungrateful bastard! You can actually sit and relax in peace! This is much better than it was. Take a minute to appreciate it."

And so I did. I was so grateful in fact that I gave the guest a hug. She was really excited about that and asked why, and I told her thank you for wearing headphones. :)

Sometimes I gotta remember to be grateful for the little things...especially if someone else is doing it.

In spite of having no meds for the past month and limted meds for the past nine months, I have managed to pay all of my bills on time.

I confess to being the tiniest bit obsessive about this since the past Mr. Train Wreck would pay some bills twice, send the wrong check to the company, or find an unpaid bill in a stack of opened envelopes two months later. I have to blame another bit of it on Py, who said to me a few years ago, "If you get everything now, what will you have to collect in the future?" (We were shopping for dice). I actually have a good credit rating which in 10 months of train wrecks in other areas, I've only managed to harm instead of destroy.

I suspect that after years of using spreadsheets and tables to keep track, I actually may have developed a habit.  :green:

  I've really been kicking ass at work the last few days.  I decided to become more proactive and start
  doing things ahead of schedule whenever I can do so without compromising freshness.  For example, I can
  make desserts ahead of time because we always freeze them anyway.  I can peel and chop raw vegetables
  days ahead of their scheduled use because we store them in buckets of water in the cooler.  Stuff like that.
  I've really been hustling lately and getting a lot done in a day, because I'd rather do it without being told.
  If I wait till a project is assigned, it feels like a chore; if I do it proactively, it feels like a WIN.  8)

This is something I've done more by default than by design, but anyway ... I've stayed in a
fairly low-skilled job that is arguably beneath my mental capacities, and that's probably been
the best course for my overall mental health.  I don't have the temperament to be any kind of
boss, or to deal with people in a service capacity, so I may be doing less than I  "should"  be doing
with my intelligence ... but there's more to me than intelligence.  :tard:

Remembering to do memories is the best way to remember that memory after your memory no longer holds on to the remembering.

a shampoo manufacturer was trying to increase sales.  He involved the whole company in the effort.  The winning entry:

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I use a whole lot less of most everything.  A small pea size of toothpaste, a minute amount of moisturizer. etc.  It has saved me money over the years.  After all, if you put something on thickly, the top layer isn't doing anything but making someone else richer.  Ditto for toothpaste dripping from your chin.

The PR bowls twice a week with two other handicapped girls.  She wants to bowl today as well.  I said she could. 

She told me that she had texted one of the Kelseys to see if she was coming bowling today (not one of The PR's days). 

Awesome because it's the first time she's texted someone out of the family and because this Kelsey is deaf (cochlear implant).

Weird.  I just realized that all three ladies have multiple handicaps. 

(It sometimes gets confusing because we have Kelsey L S(last initial), Kelsey M S(last initial) and Nellie.  Occasionally a man, Wesley, comes to the alley.  Then it's really a tongue twister:  Kelsey, Kelsey, Wesley and Nellie.

Applying for voluntary work with the elderly.
Getting back to the gym after going onto a fecking shitty med called Cymbalta which had me shooting up 3 sizes in 3 months from being at 12% bodyfat.

Nope. I took myself off them... tapered off. I was on it for 9 months or so, but the weight gain didn't kick in really until the final 3 months. It also took away the anger it was given to me for, but took away all desire to do anything at all. I didn't go out for 8 months apart from to the local shop. I hit the highest weight I have ever been in my life on that crap and still working to get it off. Think I am down 1.5-2 sizes in my few months back at the gym, but that med totally changed my body composition. This is how I looked before I went on it.

I went to the gym 3 times a week for over a year. Lost 2 kilos and gained muscular (for me) calves. Still very fat though. I suspect lithium is preventing me from losing any weight but at least I have reached a plateau and am not gaining any more.

Oh! I can claim a similar weight loss ....over the course of 2-3 years.  But then I don't do gym, and I've never ben able to lose weight fast , no matter what.

My weight-loss is down to a high carb , extremely low fat diet, which I find totally  suits me. Wish I'd figured that out long ago.  My body doesn't do anything much with fat...except store it for later.

Haha, I wish I could run at least a half marathon, but due to having COPD, running was always hardest of all. Any exercise I do beyond walking and weights is very uncomfortable anyway. I did come in as the first woman in the first and only 5k I ever did though,when I had not even run in weeks. I think bloody mindedness kept me going. I was about 3rd in I think out of over 100.

I wasn't overweight at that point... just at the top end of BMI for my height which I really, really hated, especially given most of it was fat.
I know my face gets more drawn when I am training... I just learnt to live with it as I prefer that over a flabby body I cannot stick in any decent clothing without feeling self conscious, lol.

Yah, when I first posted here, I wasn't eating properly, and I was not fit.
I then decided, back in 2011/2012, to try and change my mindset from wanting to be really thin, to wanting to be fit and strong... I mean, let's face it, I am gone 40 now and my body just will not allow me to hover below the minimum weight for my height anymore. It is still a challenge and I was actually anorexic in my late teens. Severely so to a point I almost died several times from organ failure. I was, if I recall, 70Ibs at 5'11...lost an inch in height due to it.

When I am at the gym, well, it is a point of focus for me and an effective anti depressant most of the time. Not enjoyable though other than certain aspects, due to my 65% lung function.
Must admit though, I hated it when the trainer told me I was stronger than most women. I was outdoing the guys in some of the classes. You know, there is this stereotype that women are meant to be physically weaker and all of that crap. Taken me a long time to get past that.

It's interesting how different bodies react so differently to various diets. I actually got to 12% bodyfat while intaking a lot of healthy fats, like nuts and avocado as well as what some may still view as less healthy fats, such as full fat dairy. I was also having a reasonable amount of carbs and at times, up to 160g of protein per day. Probably as much down to the intensity of my training as anything though, that I could get away with eating 3500 calories a day or more, and not gain anything. Most likely, the medication that had me gain a shitload of weight, has lowered my metabolism for the time being.

Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there.  Pity the medical establishment  is so unwilling to take it on boarsd that different bodies also react very differentlt to different drugs. I'm sure my  metabolism has always been really slow,   due to the fat-conversion problem; and most  of those psychotropic drugs tip  it  right over the edge, so that I'm sleeping all the time and feeling like shit when I'm awake. never mind if it doern't list "drowsy" as a side-effect (the ones that do, are even worse) .What's more  most other drugs have unexpected effects on me, from no therapeutic effect to highly exaggerated therapeutic effect.  Nothing seems to do me any good besides stimulants and I can get those from the corner shop(caffeine and nicotine) . I'm now , literally allergic to almost everything else, which doesn't feel dreadfully tragic.

Yup, I seem to get terrible effects with most meds now, Cymbala obviously being the last one... I mean, in the sense I stopped caring about anything at all was a relief for a while, from the daily anger fits, but on the other hand, I was not going out and was getting more and more unfit and unhealthy. I was always tired too. Prozac makes me more aggressive so that is out. I don't think there is any med that could simply disable my anger without disabling other things. I guess the gym will have to do for now, and trying to bring things into my life that give me some sense of achievement...which is where a lot of my anger stems from... feeling useless and without purpose.

I cannot tolerate stimulants either, lol. I have to avoid caffeine, other than weak tea, or my anxiety shoots right up.

Well , their make-up would  run if they worked up a sweat wouldn't it? Meh.

That said, i note that boys are increasingly  jumping on that bandwagon., FFS. *sigh* It's a loser's game- l;iterally.

Managed a very intense training session with my old trainer last night, and 30 km in 1 hour 3 minutes on the exercise bike, on interval training setting. I passed the fitness test/training session with my trainer which surprised me, as how the hell did I get back there after over a year sat on my backside to a point I could not walk without pain for months? For anyone interested, this is what he had me do in those 55 minutes.

1)10 kg medicine ball. Knees bent, squat down, pick up, hold above head and slam down on floor. Repeat 20 times.
2)5kg medicine ball ~ knees bent ~ slam down, catch and repeat 20 times
3)Get a step ~ step up and holding 4kg dumbbells, punch the air, step down ~ repeat 20 times
4)Get a step ~ one leg either side ~ step up one leg at a time, with 4kg dumbells and punch air 10 times, switch which leg goes on step first and repeat.
5)Get a step ~ squat, then jump onto it, jump back off and using the step for hands, do a pushup, then 10 x leg pulls to chest. Repeat 5 times then do again with 10 leg pulls to either side(opposite side to leg)
6)Lay on back, semi sit up, and punch higher up, 40 times, different positions.
7)Get a step, do a burpee, then jump over the step sideways, both legs together and do another burpee. Repeat until done 10 burpees.
8)Get a small gym ball and balance elbows on it. Come up onto toes, keep back up, and hold for as long as possible. Basically a plank on a gym ball.
9) 4 rounds of boxing, including having to do a burpee first, followed by hooks, jabs, ducks etc.

Few more pics from tonight, after the cycling.

Still hitting the gym although only 4-5 times a week. Now volunteering at a lunch club for the elderly and frail even though it is a morning start. I just stay up and sleep after. It involves helping prepare and serve their meals. Clear up. Talk to the people especially those who seem to be alone. Then I generally play a game of scrabble with a group that includes a lady of 97 who is incredibly sharp and mobile still and who can recite poems from memory. This is just whole I wait for the befriending to be approved which involves waiting for paper forms because they decided my ID was not enough without that even though I provided three pieces. Just cannot afford to pay for a passport just to volunteer. Also making my own Christmas cards using cross stitch and have met someone on Second Life who lives local to me to hang out with sometimes. So I suppose those might be considered slight achievements.

Slight achievements? That's awesome , Graelwyn.   :2thumbsup:

Given how isolated and depressed you were  recently, it's a great relief to see how outgoing you are at present.  :clap:.  The voluntary work is an especially good idea, for improving self-esteem ( Btw, I've read that when asked about their motivations for volunteering, the more honest and self-aware  respondents tend to say that they're in it to improve their self-self esteem. The ones who are in it just  because their heart overflows with pure goodness don't make such good volunteers  :LOL:. You can probably guess why not.)

Keep it up!

On the spur of the moment after visiting The PR, I stopped into a "quickie" oil change place.  Wise decision.  I had no oil left.  I definitely do not need to have an auto breakdown now.

Next on the list, coolant change, brakes, serpentine belt.

Had a vehicle years ago that burned through oil like crazy when it got up in miles. It never leaked or smoked so it was weird; had to check it weekly.

My first car was a bit like that. (checked 'only' every fortnight).
With my second car I was stunned that I did not have to refill oil all the time. Found it hard to trust that it really did not need that oil in the beginning.

The Matrix has almost 130,00 miles on it (2003 model).  I knew about needing the oil change and the repair work (including a slight oil leak)  for over 6 months.  I just kept shuffling it to the bottom of the deck.

  but the hardest one to do is the big top oven that's almost constantly on and in use.  I figured I would
  spray the oven cleaner in it last night and finish the job this morning, but then I realized it would
  take too much time out of a busy morning, so I stayed late and did it last night.  Good call.  8)

^ My mum once used oven cleaner that was so strong, the screws from the inside started coming out and shooting across the room. Maybe the oven you cleaned was more the catering type, though, so I'd assume that sort of thing wouldn't happen.

I used to clean the showerhead by leaving it in cheap vinegar. It works REALLY well, comes out like new. Except once I left it for too long and it affected the rubber.

Put up a new motion sensor light by my driveway and managed to get it so it doesn't go on when a car drives down the street or my neighbors pull in their driveway,  something nobody else on my street seems to be able to do with theirs.  :-\

  I sympathize.  Our old neighbors had a motion sensor light that was right across the street from my
   brother's window.  Really annoyed him on summer nights when the window was open for fresh air.  :zombiefuck:

I had two loads of washing hanging outside before going to work. Worked, got groceries, made food, folders some of the clean and dry laundry, made a bed with sundried linnen.

Decided I am allowed to let the dishes be for tonight.

Good job.
That foam board you get in packing or the hobby aisle is also great insulation on the sides and cuts easily if the cardboard doesn't quite cut it.

I took my friend to the doctors AND hospital yesterday. I waited on my own for 50 minutes while she was getting treatment. Thankfully I had some pain meds with me - the hospital lights gave me a headache.

Afterwards, I visited my older sister at home. She had her gallbladder out a few days ago. She needs rest now. I got her a get well card. I think she liked it.

Took a nice walk with Carla today and picked up the roadside trash on the section that I have "adopted" as my cleaning responsibility.  Not as many beer cans/bottles as I normally find!  Put the recyclables in recycling and the trash in the appropriate container!

Could it be bursitis? My shoulder hurt for more than 6 months before I caved and went to the doctor. He sent me for an ultrasound. I had that and got told I had bursitis. After that it rapidly got better on its own. I didn't need a cortisone injection.

What are your plans?

  I have found a half-dozen or so conditions online that could be what I have.  :autism:

  I rescheduled my orthopedic appointment for a week earlier, and I am going to have the shoulder X-rayed.
  Also, this morning I am going to call my doctor and get an appointment for tomorrow, because
  I'm getting worse by the day and I can't wait till next month.  Maybe she'll order an MRI.  :crossed: 

  Glad your bursitis cleared up, how long did it take?  :orly:

  A little, but not for long.  I figured out that I can wash my hair, put it in the bun, and put on
  my bra by bending over to avoid the painful reaching upward.  I van manage for now, at least.  :-\

Removed superfluous hair without turning myself into a hideous mass of razorburn and itching like I usually do. Either I've finally hit upon the ideal routine, or my skin is starting to toughen up.

I think about 8 months. It was pretty mild and the main time it bothered me was when I was at the gym and couldn't do any of the shoulder weights.

I've been considering trying hair removal cream, but I've heard it can damage the skin if used incorrectly. Maybe I should practice on a small furry rodent first, just to be on the safe side.

Got out of bed at 8:07 this morning.  Managed to get dressed, get meds together, put The PR's hair in a pony tail, partially pack her lunch, stop and pick a sandwich for her lonch, drive her to care ALL BY 9 o'clock.

P.S.  No motorists were harmed while driving and no laws broken.

She's head over heels in love with it.  She wouldn't even get out of the car on a visit to the place about 6 or 7 years ago.  "I'm NOT going there!" Her first day was a wee bit rocky.  She was trying to be friendly and called a Sihk client a "towel head."  She did apologize and we looked up Sikh on the internet.

They had a water day today (hoses, balloons, sprinklers, etc.) today as a special treat.
