Morning, knucks!

Trying to survive over here. Pinched a damn nerve in my neck (I think) at a water aerobics class back in September......I've been going to a chiro to try to get it better and then in October my fingers (pointer and thumb on left hand) went numb and have been numb ever since........It's driving me crazy! Have you ever tried typing, cooking, baking, cleaning, doing your hair with a numb hand? Ughhhhhhhh.........So, I went to see a different chiro. who evaluates for carpal tunnel and he told me I did not have it......hallelujah.... but I had to go get xrays of my neck before he would do anything. Long story short, xrays came back fine and I saw him last night......all I can say is I NEVER thought my neck would crack like it did. I think everyone in the waiting room heard it. Scared the shit out of me! Today, I'm pretty sore and I get to do it all again Thursday.......lol

Not sure why I decided to share a paragraph with all of you at 7 am..........but, oh well.......hope you are getting your fill of cookies and college football! lol

Damn steph! Nothing is as aggravating as back and neck issues. Hope the cracking gets you straight.

A rough rub down AND a hickey???????
Sounds like my sophomore year in high school.
My friends mom was the best.;)

Somehow I know my imagination will make it much better than the reality.......I don't think I'll be enjoying it as much as you remember, Hawkie.

My rememberer is fuzzy pretty often...it may have been my junior year...and more of an ass kickin instead of a rubdown....black eye, not a hickey....and unless my friends mom had a goatee(distinct possibility) it was probably his dad.
But it's still a memory....so I've got that going for me.

Ooh, yeah my EDS has caused nerve damage in my back and I get the same thing in my hands. I feel like I have to do everything at half speed so I don't drop whatever I'm dinking around with. I used to think numb was like when your hand or something falls asleep. Guess it's almost the same feeling but without the tingling you get with sleeping body parts

It isn't constant, but enough to mess with me daily

So sorry that you deal with this, too, Skinny! The dropping is what I worry about the most. It started this summer and that's why I thought it was carpal tunnel........glad that it's not but because it has been so long, I'm not believing the doctors when they say it will come back. I want it too, but it has just been this way for what seems like forever. I guess I have to give this a chance.

Morning knuckles.. hope all are doing OK. Steph, sorry you're going through all that, hope they can get you some relief

Nothing exciting going on here really, looking for a better job although seems to be unlikely I'll find anything any time soon. Manager has lost her shit lately and is taking it out on everyone. Seems I'm the scapegoat for having taken a week off before Christmas, how dare I have a gallbladder removed? Ah well what can ya do? Gotta pay the bills..

Anyway hope everyone is doing well. Smooches y'all

I don't have a whole lot of faith in doctors anymore. When I started having problems in middle school they passed me around like a hot potato trying to figure out why I had a hole in my chest and monkey arms.
One doctor told me I should join Cirque Du Soleil. Thanks Doc...
At least mine is only a couple hours a day, It would drive me nuts to deal with that 24/7. Such a brave lil' Boof!
Lol

I've been worrying about dropping stuff too, especially when I'm trying to hold onto glass. The other day I was putting the death grip on whatever glass piece it was I was holding (forgot what it was) so I didn't drop it. In hindsight, I'm glad It didn't shatter in my hand

Silly always, those are TREES :blech: lol

Speaking of wildlife, I was watching TV and learned Tazmanian devils numbers are dwindling from a cancer spread through wounds.

The things that make them stand out (attitude,etc) may be there downfall :(
There is a vaccine now. There is some very remote locations in tassie where populations haven't been vaccinated yet though.

Morning knucks.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY EFFIN GOD! After all the struggling for so many years, we finally got a break. My mom loaned out $30,000 in 1987 from inheritance to buy a house for some family. At this point she didn't expect to see a penny, until this morning she got a text saying that they sold the house, and she would like to send us $10,000

I cannot tell you how much silent suffering I've been through just wishing that something would happen to at least ensure we can eat and get the essentials. We can finally eat every single day! And not just once a day! We can get propane so we aren't freezing! We can get a car that doesn't die anytime you stop giving it gas, one with brakes that work and a heater that keeps my little toes warm! Im actually happy to be alive! Timing couldn't have been better

Here's hoping that 2017 is filled with more of the same.

yay saint

just for everyone who was wondering, 2017 has a distinct fresh smell

@Hawkizefan will need to confirm, and maybe someone with more years under their belt. I've only been around since late 70s, so there is a chance that this is 1956 v2

1956 is just beyond me, believe it or not, but I'm already smelling the heady stench of another recycled year.
56 could be a good one. Personally I'd prefer another 87.
BTW....I was in my PRIME in the late 70s. Movies, songs and books written about me. Epic.

NO

not 87

I was in grade 2, with Mrs Wisel. She was sceery, had a wart on her eyeball and we all thought she was a witch

pretty sure she'd have used the strap if it was still legal

i remember cold lino floors with slates, learning to read the time

and yes to our more senior members, i can now read the time very well... but that isn't the point

I was going to ask for a pic, then the wart thing came up............

That is the best news, Saint! Maybe 2017 will shape up to give you and your mom some rewards ......... sounds like you both need and DESERVE it!
