Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I am so glad your DH had the chance to see his mother. Your post touched my heart. Praying your MIL has a peaceful passing.
Llama, hope you are feeling better.
Chris, I am so very sorry to hear about your mother in law.
Glad,
Oh my gosh! My daughter slipped on her stairs a few days back. (Third floor walk up)
She thought that she was okay. She ended up taking an UBER to the ER because she was in so much pain. They did X-rays and no fractures. They said her muscles were extremely tight. They said that she would remain in pain for awhile from the fall.
Years ago she had a horrible automobile accident and injured her neck and back. (Whiplash and concussion)
She wiped out her knee in dance. She has had extensive knee surgery.
She’s always been super active, dance team, gymnastics, volleyball, kayaking, etc.
She’s super fit but accidents occur. She really wants to go snowboarding with her friend that lives in Vail.
Anyway, thank God she had ordered groceries to be delivered before the storm.
ER doc gave her a pain patch and muscle relaxers. He told her to take a few days off of work to rest.
I told her to board her dog. Well, she couldn’t drive because of the pain. They had begun to tell people to stay off of the roads. So she had to just let him use the bathroom very close to her apartment instead of long walks or going to the park.
The dog is ecstatic about the snow! He gets really excited and wants to play. I don’t know how she is managing. She’s tiny with a bad back. He’s very strong and pulls on the leash. I pray a lot for her!
Tons of snow in her area! I will be happy when her lease is up. She found an building with an elevator in it. It also has a rooftop area for dogs! Higher rent but oh well...
She’s 25. What can I do? I don’t interfere in her choices in life. She’s an adult.
She loves Colorado. She went to see an ice castle last month.
She’s supposed to visit Estes Park soon. She’s an explorer!
I was so upset with her decision to drive herself instead of taking an Uber.
It ended up being a pinched nerve in her neck that is causing shooting pains.
So they gave her steroids. She was told to seek out a massage therapist that treats sports injuries. The doctor said that an ordinary massage would not help and could even make it worse.
Our bodies are so weird with everything that can go wrong.
So sorry about your migraine headache. I’ve never experienced a migraine.
I get the sinus headaches which I am sure are nothing compared to a migraine.
Your mom is a trooper! Isn’t it awful that the elderly are so vulnerable to COVID-19?
I am glad that your mom didn’t have issues with the vaccine.
Plus being so isolated during this time. It’s so sad. Hopefully, it will end fairly soon.
Don’t you get a massage occasionally. Gosh, it’s been years since I last got a massage.
I was on vacation and it was pre kids! Yes, that many year ago!!!
I have been wanting to get a massage.
I don’t even know what to look for because there are all of these different types of massages now.
I’ve had both shots. Tomorrow is two weeks so is it safe to do things like get a massage now?
OUCH! So sorry that you have a headache due to a door slamming on you.
Hope you feel better soon.
My daughter has a pinched nerve in her neck and her doctor told her to get a massage therapist that specializes in treatment for athletes.
I will tell you where I was on vacation. It was Hot Springs, Arkansas, when the bath houses were in vogue to visit. I think they all closed years later.
The way it was done though was, you soaked in the hot spring baths, the attendant gave you a shot of it to drink. Supposedly, the hot spring water had healing benefits to bathe in and drinking it too. Didn’t taste great but I did it.
Then you go into a steam box that was locked from the outside. I almost fainted and couldn’t get out until she unlocked it. I panicked a bit when she walked off. If she had returned a moment later I would have fainted.
Then a needle shower, which I loved and my husband hated. I should say there was a man’s side and a woman’s side. Men and women weren’t together! Hahaha 🤣
After the needle shower, a soothing massage where I fell asleep afterwards. They allowed a person to sleep until they woke up. My husband didn’t know what took me so long to meet him. He did not fall asleep.
This was way back in the 80’s.
I don’t like a sauna. I like a steam room.
That sounds like a nice place for a girl’s getaway!
Four more weeks then done with this term. It's cooking along. Looks like I'll retain a spot on the Chancellor's List. Didn't know that was a thing, a step above Dean's List, I guess. Makes me feel smart. lol
The zolpidem sleep aids are helping me stay more level through the stress, since I get better sleep. It's always easier to tackle big work tasks with a fresh and rested brain.
