I just got the CUTEST ornament yesterday! Thank you, Homie! I love it!
Tami - Sorry if that isn't spelled right. I don't remember since I always called you macadamia. Anyway I hope you can get some relief for your thumb & shoulder. That would be awful to be in pain during your trip. Good luck!
Thanks, Lori! And as long as it's not my husband mispelling my name, I just don't care at all. It's not your fault my parents picked an odd spelling. I got xrays and a prescription for an anti-inflammatory, and I'm seeing an orthopedist on Friday. So far, so good. The Dr. says it's probably a build up of scar tissue that's limiting the mobility and causing the pain. So it won't kill me to wait until after vacation if I need surgery.
are you trying to say the little was busy climbing again and he finally tuckered out?
No, he never tuckers out. Unless he really shouldn't. Like at 7:30 PM, when he dozes off sometimes so he can stay awake all night. As we speak, he's thrown all the bedding off the guest bed, thrown his last chicken nugget onto the bare mattress, and is pulling books off of the bookshelves in the next room. He's probably going to throw them on the bed eventually and see how many he can bend in half by jumping on them. I remember having that much fun doing similar things. And now I know exactly why my mom got so exasperated with my "fun".
oh no, you have to be in pain.
shoulder injuries can be miserable. i have had surgeries on both shoulders.
but i do see your priorities are straight.
do the trip first and then schedule the surgery....
i do hope your pain lessens and you can get a night's sleep soon!
praying for you.
and remember, better living thru chemistry....
Thanks for the prayers! They are very appreciated. I love the things chemists have come up with for my personal comfort. I guess you could say my life depends on their past discoveries, with insulin and stuff like that. We'll see how effective this particular anti-inflammatory prescription is.
The doctor said he would normally give me a shot of cortisone, but steroids make diabetics VERY insulin resistant. I was actually impressed that he knew that. Most doctors I've had have known diddley-squat about diabetes. I'd rather have some pain than have super high blood sugar. Shoulder pain can't damage your kidneys and eyes! NOTHING will interfere with my Universal joy!
Hey guys 
Sorry I haven't been around...been very busy. This is my busy season at work. My shopping is finished and mostly wrapped. Still have some baking I want to do...next couple days slated for that.
Just wanted to say HI to everyone...hope you are enjoying your holiday season!
Hey, Brab the Barbarian! Good to see you again!

You wanna swing by and teach me how to bake? I know you probably have all kinds of free time to do that. I'm sure you can fit it in somewhere between 2-3 AM. That's my open spot. They say if you really believe in yourself, you can do ANYTHING. So just believe in yourself, magically beam on over here, and we'll have fun.
What are you waiting for?
Oh, yeah, it's not 2 AM yet....
