Okay, so here's the deal. Saw the Dr today about my shoulder. Still having trouble with certain movements and getting the inflammation down. So, the Doc gave me a nasty shot of cortisone in the shoulder and said I needed real Physical Therapy with a licensed therapist to restrengthen that shoulder. He wants to give me four weeks of therapy before seeing me again, but if I can get it better in two I'm hoping he will at least give me a work release to go back to work.
In the meantime we have to figure out how to pay bills and such, so henry is gonna check with his supervisor to see if he can pick up some extra shifts. This means that we may not be on here as much, but we will have to see. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, so if the posting slows down you know ahead of time the reason for it.
If anything, I'll just be picking up a Saturday morning for a while, so it's not going to interfere too much ;)
Well, it's either going to have to be some kind of PT somewhere that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, or going to the gym with my sister and working it out on the machines and hoping I don't do something wrong and hurt it more. But I have to do something or it's never gonna get better. I thought I could do it on my own, but I was wrong.
So, is Skaar asking Corda to wrestle his dragon for 50 days? I was just confused by the post. Also, I think I'm feeling frustrated by everything and this is just how it comes out. :P
If an erection lasting over four hours is cause for alarm 50 days is probably guaranteed death...
He's asking if she thinks his legend will ever live up the Hong's.
I knew what he meant, I was just messing with you. Although, with sufficient potions of vitality, willpower, foreplay, and a day of rest, it shouldn't be a problem for the Orc.
That would make for a pretty impressive legend...
Its not really a one man show though, you would have to give Corda props if ya'll managed that feat.
*sigh* I'm not running that game.
No doubt she would be part of it.
Oh come on honey, you were the one that said this was a grown ups game filled with all sorts of things. This, just happens to be one of those things. You gotta have a little inter-species exotica in it.
You guys are too much fun.
I'm gonna be busy for a while, so I'll check in later. I gotta make some pumpkin spice oatmeal cookies with choc chips and chopped walnuts.
Tomorrow I'll be making the double chocolate chocolate chip cookies.
Good-bye, arteries!
I said it had oatmeal in it, didn't I?! Good grief, like you're gonna die if I hand you one.
Yup. Oatmeal makes the rest of the stuff in the cookie totally healthy.
Sure...
Yup. Oatmeal makes the rest of the stuff in the cookie totally healthy.
Rationalization --> Reality.
Well, I'm baking off the cookies as we speak/type? Anyways, Mr. Oh my arteries has had 3 already, so I'm pretty sure they're edible.

I refer you, good sir, to the Thomas Theorem.
It's all quiet here...
So Arista's going to be off work until the 26th of November and I have to figure out how to conjure up the $180 to cover our bills for the month, not to mention her insurance since she won't have enough money to take out of her paycheck to pay for it. This also excludes food and gas...*sigh* It's stressing us out :/
Calm blue ocean, Calm blue ocean, Calm blue ocean.
No, she used up her FMLA time for her surgery last year and she hasn't built up enough vacation/sick/holiday time to cover being off for so long. And the time that she's going to be out isn't enough for her to apply for "catastrophic leave".
Yeah...not really a road I want to take, but I don't see much choice. I'm not pretty enough to be a prostitute.
Thanks. I did the unmentionable and applied for a credit card, so I can at least defer some minor bills until she's working again. Of course, it's only got a $300 limit (bwahahaha!), but it'll keep us from hitting rock bottom.
Well, it's my first credit card, so it'll help on that end as well as building my average credit.
So, I'm leaving the timeline towards the end of Skaar's story rather ambiguous so I can work him back into the party sooner. Still have to pass a reasonable amount of time though.
Sorry for the minor hijacking of Skaar's story, but I didn't want you to throw a monkey wrench in this one like with the collar. ;) Lol.
Sounds good. =)
Oh that's fine. I really had nothing planned in that department .
The whole situation is stressing us out, but I really regret how much stress it's causing Henry. He's usually the calm one, not much for panic attacks. I just feel like I've dumped all this crap on his plate. I can't even afford the physical therapy the Dr is wanting me to get. The best I can do is go with my sister to her gym as a guest and hopefully use their machines to re-strengthen my shoulder muscles, without overdoing it and straining it further.
This is the way life is though. There is no escaping it. Bad s*!* is gonna happen, and most likely at the worst time possible. We can't always be prepared for what happens, all we can do is try to get through it the best we can. Thank God for incense, candles, sage, and bath salts, cuz without that basic stuff I really think Id be over the top stressed out.
The only good that's come out of this, is that I can now spend tomorrow night with our friends, and some other people. Who knows, maybe it'll do me some good. Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween/Samhain, whatever it means to you. If anyone has kids that's going trick or treating, make sure you check candy prior to consumption. We all know how many sicko's there are nowdays.
I am trying to. When we were at the Dr the other day he gave me a cortisone injection straight into my shoulder. Can I just say how pleasant that most definitely was NOT. He said it was supposed to bring down the inflammation, but I don't really feel a difference. I'm taking the anti-inflammatory meds, along with some tramadol and flexeril, I'm also putting ice pack on the injured area. It's just taking longer than I would like.
Just gotta get it going again. I'm trying to make sure he isn't overdoing it, but he makes it difficult. He feels as if he has to take on everything. I do have alot of medical bills so I understand how stressed he is, but he isn't alone in this. I don't want him killing himself trying to make up for what we are lacking. I had to talk him out of finding another full time job, which would do no good in the present seeing how the job market is sucking and even if he did manage to find another job, it would be at least 2 to 3 weeks before he would even see a check from it. So, it wouldn't do us any good anyways. He did the only thing he could do and got a low limit credit care, which will help us out with my medical bills and some other necessities.
I'll make sure he doesn't over do it too badly. We have been in alot tougher situations than this, and somehow we always manage to pull through as long as we stick together. :o)
I do read this, you know.
Yeah, I figured as much. I just thought you could use a reminder. ;oP
Happy Halloween/Samhain everyone. And happy Anniversary to me. Three years now my wife and I have been married. Not a long time perhaps, but all roads start with a first step.
Three years is pretty good nowadays. Congratulations and you better do something nice for her instead of playing Corda today.
Oh I have something planned.
My son's 5th birthday today so I may not be around much. Hope everyone has a good day today. And trust me it gets better.
Woo!
Sounds like a good day for everyone then.
Yep, it sounds like it's a day off from GMing for me :D
