Ok, let's see:
I saw my orthopedist yesterday... she hurt me. She always does... but this time, trying to prove I can't lie to her and pretend to be healed, she touched this one spot which made me whimper like a homeless, sick puppy that's been hit by a car and then kicked by a steeltoe boot
So, not ok to go back to work... not ok to start weight lifting, kickboxing or running, not ok to... blah blah blah. And, oh, still too early to tell if I'll need to have surgery. Damn it! I'm ok with it if it has to happen, but I just want to know... now!!!
But, I gots me more disabled parking... till January to be exact. Not that I would ever park in the spots - I'm a little too proud for my own good - but it also means free metered parking and parking in areas that non-disabled don't get to park in! Free valet at concerts or games... Oh, and I could get my gas pumped at self-service prices (not that I've ever had anyone pump my gas, but, hey, just knowing that I can...
)
Geez... I really need to stop looking for the silver lining. The things I get happy/excited over these days...

I have a mean pressure headache and not a single Aleve (tm), aspirin, Advil or Tylenol in the house.
Yet I have a drawer full of every possible prescription painkiller and muscle relaxant you can think of... sure, I could take one of those, but really! It just seems ridiculous to take them for a headache when I wouldn't take them for the extreme post-accident pain.
Anyone wants to trade me an Aleve for a Vicodin, Perc, Oxycodon, Parafon Fonte, Soma (with or without Vic), Skelaxin, etc, etc, etc... all max strenght?
Hmm... maybe I should go break one of those monster ibp's in two... but they hurt my tummy
Damn it!!!
That's it!
I just stubbed my toe because I'm walking with only one eye open - and not even fully at that!
But, having learned my lesson, I am not going to ask 'what else can start hurting?'... cause, you know...

when i was in college, we always kept midol around for hangovers. it was a diuretic, yes, but the secret combination of tylenol and caffiene worked well if you kept hydrated. one of the extra-strength excedrins was also good. it had aspirin and caffiene.
when i have the occasional migraine--perhaps once a year--real aspirin is the only thing that helps. not tylenol or ibp, nor even that new-fangled naproxen.
not much going on here. kind of in a dead space with the minnesota fall coming on, a time when i usually get melancholly. this year is no exception. here on SG, i've spent some time talking naughty with the cute youngsters in the SG Twin Cities group.
flirting's a temporary fix, but what's a boy to do....
wireless at home or are you sitting in a coffeeshop tonight? i have fine DSL that almost never goes down. it's also free 'cause the phone company has forgotten to bill me for 28 out of the last 30 months or so. they're also nice enough to give me a $2 credit each month due to a rate reduction last year.
never had a lot of migraines myself. my mom and maternal grandfather used to have them frequently. like yours, the sit in the quiet darkness for a couple days at a time type. i feel your pain.
i'd still like to hear more about your injuries. i have kind of a human physiology background and insatiable curiosity (kind of blows doctors away when i can talk almost at their level).
i think early june and the last couple weeks in august are the best times to visit MN. it's pretty now in the woods and on the prairies, but a little cooler, like 60s and 70s. and as with your domain, the sun goes down too early.
i don't have any serious complaints about living here, even when one considers the winters. the summers are a little too short for my taste, but i make it up with frequent winter trips to arizona, where i have family. i also have occasional business in las vegas.
it would all be fine if i had a partner to share it with. but then i'd probably travel more anyway.
nothing personal, bo, but i have to hit the hay. *inserts imaginary yawn smiley*
later....
