I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Ok, let's see if I can explain this without sounding loopy or making more proof reading errors than ever.

It appears that I have a nerve impingment that started in the rhomboids and is radiating down my right arm to cause out-of-this word pain at several points, in cluding y elbow, my forearm and my hand.

It appears to have been exercise-induced, and I had spent the last two weeks massaging, rubbing, stretching, etc... to no avail. On Sunday at dawn, the pain reach about a 7 or 8 our of ten so I went to the ER. THe gave me 5 mgs of Valium and some oxycodone. These meds barely touched the pain. This morning at dawn, I limped back into the er crying. They gave me an injection of dilaudid [sp.] (HL - I thought of you) and another injection of something else - prescription motrin or something. The pain quickly subsided. MY rhomboids pain remained, but it was a 2-3 out of 10 and the doctor said that would remain for a while. They then discharged me with 10 mgs of valium every 4 hours plus oxycodone of the Tylenol kind. This idea was to rid me of the pain and ke sure I could stay ahead of it, which I more or less have, though feeling loopy.

This is the worst pain I have ever had in my life. Doc is very doubtful it is mets - it's clearly a nerve impingement. A non-serious condition with killer side effects.

I hope I don't need surgery because I have enough scars in my body, thank you very much. When I was thinking of love earlier I must have been thinking of dating (who knows what I was thinking!).

Anyway, part of the feeling-sorry-for-myself-itist is that I feel unloved by all. Buahua. :-)

Not sure what the Mods are on about, although the less we discuss people whose views don't deserve respect the better.

For now, I will continue sleeping and taken meds and being up at weird hours.

Who knew a verve impingement could to this much. It could be a disk. In my infinite wisdom, I may have slipped one while exercising to get rid of the cancer.

Forgive proofing errors.

It is - LOVE your name, Blue. The US DOES need "your sticking money" - we have a trade deficit with Canada.

Loving the pictures Blue....and haters are going to hate.  Too bad that is the apparent dominant factor in those sorts.  Well, I guess you have to feel something in bubble-land.  Anyway I appreciate the pictures. 

Also....jmho but I think there are a lot of people who profess Christianity and really don't get it.  Or maybe it is the fact of formalizing so much of it --  again jmo but you can get real complicated about things and go nowhere.  If you take everything down to the lowest common denominator, there could be some real surprises.  I tend to things like that quite a lot because you get rid of some of the smoke and mirrors which seem to be everywhere.

Athena -- you are going through so much.  Wish there were something I could do. 

River -- I'd have loved to see your Eagle too.  They are such magnificent birds. 

Still raining outside ( boo ) but at least our water table is back up where it normally is....in a lot of people's basements now and then, but fortunately people know how to keep it out now.

See ya all later.

(((((((((((Athena)))))))))) - you need my physio - he'd fix it

Absolutely, Lassie - and it is the one item I don't throw up. :-)

There is always a rainbow:

The trouble with nerves is that they are hard to treat. I have no loss of strength or range of motion. The Valium is meant to serve as a muscle relaxant just so that my nerves get a break. Grrrr. How annoying.

Blue, rest well.

Athena, I hope you are able to get the pain under control and the tummy issues go away. I can't recall anything you said that would offend me. So whatever that was all about, forgitaboutit!

Wabbit (I think) I have not been around much lately because: I'm teaching two nights a week; getting ready for major benefit at work, anticipating close to 200 attendees; moving out of current house on April 30, into new one on May 1. I'm just a little crazy!!!!

Oh, hugs to E.

Yeah for Chickadee!!!

Just looking through some old stuff and found a picture of Columbo.  Loved that show.  Forget that part at the bottom for now.....
