So Mr. Me insisted i go to hospital. It looks like the scaphoid is broken but like what happened 11 years ago on my left hand it's hard to be sure so more xrays and cast change in two weeks. It;s a half-cast so it's plaster but it has to stay on all the time. I am very right handed so it will be nteresting. Filing this under what doesn't kill you makes you stronger :)

Sorry to hear it is a break :(

@ChemGal keep on keeping on.

@Pinga you sound so busy!

@chansen when do you go back to your job?

@Kimmio I'm sorry things are so touch with your Mom. I have a "unique" relationship with my Mom and always have had one. I am getting better at providing her with feedback when she hurts my feelings or setting boundaries. Sometimes my husband intervenes because he gets so frustrated with the shenanigans.

As for me - I'm still in the hospital and really things are still really tough. They can't get my meds right. I did manage to get a weekend pass but I'm having balance problems and feel into the chair and i guess sprained my wrist. I was worried I broke my scaffoid but telehealth thinks it is sprained. And it's my dominant hand to boot. My subsitute churhc minister came to visit and her visit was incredible - she's incredible.

have a good rest of your long weekend everyone!

Thanks, justme. I hope your wrist heals quickly - glad you got it looked at.
 
ouch - scaphoid is a miserable little devil - hoping for a good looking x-ray in two weeks. And hopefully your meds will get adjusted so there's no more stumbling about!! I'm sure you're eager for that, and to get home to Mr. Me In the meantime you'll be getting an interesting tan line on that arm. o_O
 
Ouch, Justme! Not a great way to start an active, outdoor season! Chemgal...hope the bbq was good. Seeler...glad you are on the mend so that you have energy left after a couple of days.
I just did a church service at my church. My daughter attended. Her comment: It was so LONG. You spoke for half an hour. (I didn't). I thought it would never end.
When I timed it at home it was 12 minutes. Maybe in church, I spoke more slowly, and it was 15 minutes. I guess I'd better edit a little more!
(Then she said...Oh no, mom, it was good, whatever it was about. I just couldn't believe you'd have so much to say.)
So much for wanting my children to be impacted in a positive way about any little thing I say in the message.

I broke my right scaphoid about 35 years ago. Took a header off my bike riding to Scout offices to get some badges for Dad (who was running our troop in those days). Fortunately, I was right in front of the home of a member of our church (and, really, if they hadn't been around, only a block from the minister's house). Mom and Dad were away to boot but the lady from the church who was staying with my brothers and I handled it well. I'm a rightie like you and it did make for some challenges until I got the cast off.

Take care and get well, @Justme.
 
sounds like busy weekends with mostly good things. Glad you got your wrist checked out and the break could be casted right away. That should speed up healing justme.
Do you lead a lot of services Nancy? I know our children can be our harshest critics.
 
BBQ was good. I was feeling pretty miserable beforehand - mostly itchy skin issues. My mouth is quite a bit better, but I still can't open my mouth fully and I get a weird fullness feeling that varies - maybe some minor HAE swelling? That was bad too. Chemguy convinced me to start the party a bit early as it seems to help for some strange reason. I was a bit tired out, but able to have fun with everyone.

Today I was pretty tired and lazy. Also sunburnt. I feel kinda silly for not wearing sunscreen, but when I have that horrible itchy burning skin the sunscreen always makes it so much worse. My sunburn today is much more comfortable than what I was dealing with yesterday. I tried to keep my exposed skin shaded and I wasn't outside until late afternoon. I burn more easily than the redhead in the group for some reason.

Chemguy was wiped today. He had a headache and took multiple naps. I felt bad for him, but it's also kind of nice to see someone else needing to rest after doing some things out of the ordinary. Makes my fatigue feel a little less freakish. We enjoyed having a lazy day - leftovers and netflix.
 
Nancy - I read your post about leading in worship just as I sit over my computer waiting for divine inspiration for an upcoming service. If nothing comes to me, perhaps I can comfort myself with the thought that no one really listens to the message anyway.
There are too many times when I cannot remember what the sermon was about - even a few hours later. Yet each week I come home feeling that something spoke to me - a word, a phrase, a hymn, a smile.
Length - I usually aim for 15 to 18 minutes.
 
Seeer,
Always remember there is an air headed one of the thin crowd out there ... listening from the fringe of your consciousness.

In Celtic myth these are people close to ethereal space ... getting a kick out of physical idée's ... bitty wee things subversive in your presentation! Such is the nature of kin etics ... po' lye moves the obstinate that despise piles a word ... too inky!

Illiteracy is best --- King Jaimes!
 
If the common pagan can't read it ... then they won't know what's been done and can't see the consequence ... that which follows ... hermeneutic ... often taking the character of a shadow effect but not in the normal sense! All part of the great code ... not monolithic but of two parts like the Golden Rule on warm reflection!

Usually we are cold towards siblings ... normal at ground level zero ... when you get below that they think you too have drift ed doff ... thus those conceptions out of the dark huey ... a wee duck linguae? In regards to the common pool ... sub verse ... foot note or fete node?
 
Kinda reminded me of some of the best aspects of WonderCafe 2 ... not referencing depression, but the aspect of loving people anyway they feel & including all. (and I confess, I'm a lifelong Winnie the Pooh fan too)

Got the new fridge! I kind of forgot that we would need to wait to use it though. Chemguy reminded me a few days ago when I mentioned going grocery shopping today.
I looked through the info though and it didn't state anything about needing to wait before plugging it in, quite a few do. So at least we were able to get it chilling shortly after getting it in place.
Glad for the delivery/take away service. They ended up removing our front door for a while - good thing it's a nice day!
 
Some good news - I goofed with my Berinert and did it a day late. I should have checked the log, but Chemguy and I were both thinking it was Saturday I used it last, but it was in fact Friday.
So I made it 5 days without an attack :) Before now (since wisdom teeth) I hadn't even successfully done 4 days, when I tried my throat started up a bit before I made it. I've definitely been tired the last few days, but it hasn't been a sudden, overwhelming exhaustion.
Hopefully this means I'll be feeling even more energetic tomorrow.
 
good news chemgal. It seems your health is slowly improving.

I had team training for dragonboating tonight and then we all went to a local bar for wings and drinks. Warm enough that we all sat out on the balcony. all 22 of us! Pleasant evening and I'm getting to know these ladies better.
 
Went to the Parkinsons Support Group monthly meeting last evening. The usual format is: short meeting, speaker or other program, short break and then small groups (people with Parkinsons on one side of the hall; support people on the other forming two or three smaller groups of four to eight or so). Last night we tried something different for our small grooups. One grooup was for Ladies with Parkinsons.
It seems that there are either more men with Parkinsons or that they are more apt to join a support group. This was obvious last evening. Four of us with Parkinsons pulled our chairs in a circle. We had a great discussion - things that older women might not bring up in mixed company (constipation; sleep problems; frustration at having to have husband's help us dress (and their awkwardness at tasks that used to be simple for us).; coping with housekeeping and cooking; losing independence (only two of us still drive although one other said that she keeps her license); the outside help one woman had with people coming in to help her with personal care as well as a bi-weekly cleaner; and the fear of what willl happen when we can no longer cope.
I looked over at a fairly large group of women on the 'support persons' side, And at the two groups of men scatteredd about the room. Afterwards I asked Seelerman about the group he joined. There was only one other caregiver in his group - the other six had P at various stages. He found it interesting. Some of the men had mentioned having trouble swallowing pills (Seelerman sometimes gets upset when I gag of a pill stuck in the back of my throat). A man who didn't seem to have any noticable symptoms had shared that he had problems loosening his grip - he could pick something up but had trouble putting it down, or his hand would tighten in a fist and he would have to use his other hand to straiten out his fingers.
It was a good meeting. One more in June; then we break until fall.
