I'm all for you getting the vaccine Sibi! I woke up last Tuesday thinking "Wow, something nasty bit me" My hip felt like someone had punched it. Throughout the week a burning has spread from my hip, down into my glute and upper thigh. It hurts to have pants rub on the skin there. Finally I thought I should go make sure I didn't have a weird case of Lyme disease...think now I wish it was a spider.

Wellllll there are one or two spiders who might not be that great to have bite you, but shingles sure does not sound like something you would even wish on your worse enemy. :(

It is??? Not the hot part (I agree parts of AZ are hot), but in America. I thought with you guys thinking you can't do the time change like the rest of us, that you had become your own country. :D :D :D :p

My day was okay, ran the neighbor to a few places and then have spent the afternoon/evening watching "Monk" on Netflix. I just have had no ambition this last week to do anything. :(

Stress makes me eat. :(

What's wrong? Stress makes me eat too! Well not in the moment but after. It's like I need to totally veg out and make a pig of myself to decompress.

Jacqui, I've had a black widow bite, seems I'm not terribly allergic ;-)


Stress makes me eat, if it's a major event like a death in the family though I'll forget.

You need to drink some wine and watch some ray Donovan ;)


Oh this week I get three more regular employees, two off shore employees, and two interns. I got a new business analyst a few weeks ago.

Erin how's SuperRand doing?

We had a quick trip to the hospital this morning to draw lines around some redness around his incision sight. Everything looked really good but if the red area's go outside of the pen borders he is going to have to go on IV antibiotics. We go back on Wednesday. I feel like we are headed in the right direction but he had a few complications and because he had a pretty big transfusion we are just dealing with the side effects of a lot of new blood product.

Sibi, I'll get you the picture Tuesday. Today was a most very long day for.


Here's a question for you medical savvy folks; do cortisone shots work for arthritis?

That's hilarious Jacqui lol. Yeah, my finger looks worse because of the surgery. But it is actually healing. You see, before the surgery, the nasty bug was inside the nail and barely visible to the naked eye. When they got in there and went under the cuticle, they were able to remove and scrape the infection clean. It's like the story of my life. I'm just gonna post the before and after pics. You'll see what I mean. Warning: of you can't stomach a nasty infection, don't look. I'll prepare it in a few.

Here are the pics of the before and after the three emergency room visits before I was admitted for immediate surgery.

This is what my thumb looked like before they lanced it

This is a side profile. Note how much swollen the thumb is next to the other

WP_000753.jpg

This is what it looked after the second attempt to lance it.

WP_000783.jpg

This is the third time at the ER when the pain became too much

The rest are pics of the thumb after surgery and at present

It sure does! But, you have to weigh the cost and benefits of taking cortisone shots. It's a steroid shot and steroids are not good for the body. If you're diabetic, it's even worse. Only if the pain becomes so unbearable would I consider it, like when I got one for my thumb. Big mistake. Sugars were over 300 for two weeks straight.

Believe me when I say, I would've preferred to have suffer another delivery of a baby than to have gone through this pain!

Sibi- whoa, that looks do painful! I am do glad it is getting better!

Ken-I believe cortisone shots do work for awhile. My ortho keeps offering them to me for my knee that has had a few surgeries and is really sore in the winter. If you get it, tell me how long it lasts and I might get them in my knee.

Ok g'night all, it's hard to make legible sentences which is my cue it's time.

And Georgia. I won't either, but in another way. It refuses to have part of the state go central time and the eastern part be on eastern time. It's all eastern time period.

I thought that Indiana also didn't do daylight savings? But I have to say that I love how the Monday after the time changes forward you have a certain percentage of employees who are late because of the time change but when the time changes backward you never have employees who are in early. :rolleyes:

Good morning everyone! Erin, we hope it's just a minor reaction to the incision, and that Rand's immune system will fight off any infections. I well know how tough it is to fight off infections once it has set in. But, Rand is in better health than I am. So here's hoping the best xoxoxozo!
