Is driving me "crazy" !
Along with:
1. the weather
2. the television
3. lack of conversation ( real word sounds )
4. not going to work
5. not being able to drive
6. loss of muscle tone
7. oh, I have faith that others will help me on this one.....toad? dbdoberman, Axe, Rapier, rick/cheri', Jackie, Chloe, Hope, Jane, Mosquitorose et all ??
Otherwise, I am just like the rest of you, reading this board and add an occasional babble.
Happy Friday
LMAO...I had faith in you
So glad to hear you are doing ok hahahahaha!
let me think....you are going crazy because it is hard to potty? take a shower? you cannot dance?
the coat hanger doesn't reach the really itchy place?????? :rolleyes:
Hang in there lady!
why does she have to worry if her flashlite works, toad?
WOW,. you sure hit the nail on the head.
Did I say nail. OUCH, toenail is comming off, ugh !!!
Nygal stop your complaining, hobble on over here and help me pull my hair thru this stupid cap.
Pin striping again, with racing flames.
I'll talk your leg off....just kidding.
Hey Majestic MQQSE is moving his boat tonight.
He is feel low today too.
See now is when you need a pet........lol
Get the batteries as Toad mentioned.
I have a battery operated iguana in a corner that makes a strange sound as I pass by it, does that count for:
1. batteries
2. pet
Racing stripes? OMG, new cut, and stripes. Must be a spring break thing with your grand kids.
Oh no, poor MQQSE....he needs a boost too. He told me my toes were not 'suckable' and I don't blame him one bit.
OK, I'm on a hunt for MQQSE now. I hope I can find him.
hmm.......batteries
HUH???
Batteries for the mQQse???
Interesting...
Nygal, do you think alittle pink and purple will be in style?
Hope you are being a tomatoe......ketchup !
Just kidding.
He runs on MQQSE 'stuff'
It's the very 'IN' colors, along with a splash of red.
Go for it ! ( and send pictures LOL )
Chloe with racing flames, a Moose that runs on batteries, a crazy Gal in NY, growly iguanas in the corner.......it must be Friday Night! :p
NYGal, did you have your other operation? Is this cast the final one? How long is it on? Then you have P/T to look forward to.
Oh it is Friday..geez! and I'm all out of batteries lol
This cast is the one they slapped on me the day of surgery, 3 weeks ago, today !! I don't know if I am going to have further surgery, but do have physical therapy to go through yet.
( this cast is for 6 weeks, so I was told )
You think I am nutz/crazy now, wait for more time to pass, yikes ! ! ! !
More on Monday, doctor day.
I think I will take my iguana along, he may understand my insanity then ?!?!
Crutching to store, seeking batteries for Mosquitorose ! !
Poor Poor Ny....Come on girl...
As Vince Lombardi said "Play Hurt".
You'll be outta that nasty mother soon...
nother vote for the batteries...too funny...
Really...hope you feel better soon...
Think anyone will notice one side of my hair is darker than the other side, more flames?
Thanks Axe.
Chloe, was it that additional red I put in there?
Sorry..........NOT .....LOL :p
OK, fun's dun !
Had this leg around my neck for too long, need to hike it up on the pillows.
It's been a fun Friday, thanks all.......
We will meet again like this, I can tell.
Smiles and Sunshine to all !
The Crazy Nutz gonna go and take good pills !
It won't be in, less than an hour on this coast !
U got CRS again?
Nygal, may I sign your cast?
Ok....here goes........&*^%^&**&^%.
Hey NYGal,
Well, I know what you are feeling and I feel for you. Therapy is a trip, I am not a very coordinated person, so these things that they make you do, I probably could not do if my ankle did not hurt. I went back to work yesterday after a month, rode my forklift and the clock never moved, but my ankle swelled and it was throbbing. You have to figure, one month or laying on the couch and have your foot up and no shoes, gee, I would fit right in on the island that is, going to walking on a hard concrete floor, moving my foot up and down and sideways to drive and wearing shoes for 8 hours, 10:30 last night when I got home was not a pretty site. So there I sat back to the ice and the pillows, only to do it again today, cannot wait til Monday, for I am off,gee that would mean therapy again.
Good Luck girlfriend, I feel for you!!!! At least I did not have to lug a cast around with me, I just now have a cool brace. Your top six were my complaints, to a tee, could not go outside to sit on the porch, the TV,even the soaps were getting a little to much,no body to talk to except the message board-which with all the arguing and fussing who whated to be involved,muscle tone, not only in your calf, but you could see your whole body going to flab. Also I got razor burn the first time I shaved, I guess it was something new after a month.
Jackie
Chloe, all those bad words will make my doctor blush !
Oh, darn it Jackie, that stinks ! My foot hurts thinking of what you went through. My mind works overtime trying to think of 'how' I will even wear a shoe, let alone thinking of wearing it all day at work ! ! ! This is a challange, for sure.
Yes, the board was getting stale, that's why I started complining, for my own sanity. I knew I could get theraputic help here ....Thanks everyone.
You have mentioned everything I am going through and its horrible. I would not wish this on any one !
Wait, let me rethink that..........nope, no one !!!!
( Thanks Marty for allowing me to vent ! )
Jackie, that sounds so very painful - hope you get to feeling better soon! Living with that brace cannot be easy either. Walking on sand sounds better than cement floors - stick with it, soon you will be back to AC, and your foot will thank you! At least the weather has improved.
thanks NYGal for starting this thread, the topics have been rather heavy in here, and I love just being able to be goofy - I am kind of a natural at that
Hope you are doing ok today!
Rumor has it Nygal is out dancing on this Saturday evening.
I thought it sounded more like break dancing. Hope your doing well girl.
good one
Thanks db,
The brace is not to bad, actually it is helping alot. It is driving the forklift for 7 hours that kills. Hanging on to walking barefoot in the soft sand,soon!!!! 50 days and I will be there.
Back to the weather, off work for one month and the temp did not get above 20 degrees, second day back and it hit 60, back to if it wasnt for bad luck.
Yes, thanks for lightening up the topics, we need to get back to what we like, AC and humor.
Jackie
Well, while was out 'break dancing' ( yes that was good ) you were all having a good time too, I see.
GOOD
Thanks Skullyboy !
Wow, Jackie, those temps sure sounded like our weather. We haven't gotten yet to 60, but it's supposed to be up in that range today !!
Ya lost me on the Bad Luck, Jackie. Maybe I'm not awake....more coffee please.
Hope your foot/ankle is better. It may be possible it would do better in a shoe, on the sand.
The sun is shining, yippee.
Maybe today I will try tap dancing ! Just tap the cast on the hardwood floor.
Klunk
NyGal,
Bad Luck, the story of my life. I sat home for a month and could not even go outside cuz of the weather and now since I am back to work, the temps are in the 60's. Got it now?
A shoe in the sand, hmm...., that is really something to think about... okay, I am done, NOT!!!!
Jackie
Gotcha.....must have had a blonde/blond moment.
I know it's hard to imagine a shoe in the sand, but maybe it will help strengthen that walking ability. Ballet shoe? Cut on the foot shoe? Step on a urchin shoe?
Aw, forget it, she won't LOL....
Hope your having a sunny day too.
LOL....poor Nygal!
If you cut a wire coathanger (leave hook on) and stretch it out....it will slip nicely inside that cast and you can scratch any itch you have....LOL
*giggling*
This cast has a bent knee, about 45 degree.
Can't straighted out the leg at all, it's all in the hip movement. ( hush up NY )
It doesn't itch, it just plain.....well long legged story.
hairy???
bet ya could clog good!
Maybe I could pour wax down there too.......dang that hurts thinking of it !!!
Can't get my cloggin shoe on, tried ! I would need a size 24 US, do they make those?
Big klunk.
ok, how 'bout the stomp?? :p
I bet you could be dangerous wielding that cast around!
it's prolly a good thing that the weather is cool, or it would itch!
I do the stroll well......in a wheelchair.
Told a neighbor today we could go for a walk, I would hop.
Hey, maybe the bunny hop? Choices are unlimited !
Hot, sun, sweat........nope, can't go to Belize like this. Guess it's a good thing I'm in NY now.
You do a mean Hokie Pokie in the wheelchair. :rolleyes:
And I turn myself around, that's what it's all about....try a wheelchair with one had full and the other one doing the steering
Typical day in this house, almost like the chicken dance and the huckle buck. Ya gotta laugh otherwise.......disco inferno!
You know Mr. Buffett asks, What if the Hokie Pokie is what it`s all about?
NY..hope your doing ok...
around and around and around and around.....
So do the Hokie Pokie???? Okie Dokie.
Thanks Axeman, I am. Some days better, some not.
This dancing is making me dizzy, my head's a spinning, like a whirlpool it never stops.
( it's 64 degrees, what a wonderful day in NY, for those OUTSIDE !!! )
It was a BEAUTIFUL day! I hope Spring is here to stay......poor robins need a break. The dummies came in on the gulf stream to some wicked weather.
Say NYGal, can you do the hokie pokie on a pogo stick??
Just got a visual of that.......haha!
just realized it would be impossible to do the hokie pokie on a pogo stick. Guess you'll just have to pogo.
I just gotta ask.....
What ARE you doing with your OTHER hand...and does it require batteries?
:p
Now I'm holding on a POGO stick handle, hopping with one foot, twisting the night away, reeling in circles, strolling to the the bunny hop, trying to find large enough clogs, hokie poking to the Dr., to watch him blush at the wording on my cast, after break dancing in a tap, trying to do ballet in Jackie's tossed out shoe.
Batteries ? Do I need them ? I sound like the energizer rabbit.
Do I have 2 hands? NYgal looking....te he.
Ha Ha, very funny, bunny!!!!!
Off to therapy, gee, cannot wait to see what kind of acrobats I have to do today.
I am ready to toss all my shoes out, so you will have a lot to choose from.
Jackie
Hang in there bunny, and do the best that you can.
Looks like another beautiful day - and the sun shining has got to help, even tho you cannot go out.
Jackie, PT means you are almost over it, good luck today!
OUCH to therapy !
No ballet.
Shoes I used to collect and I had, in the past 2 years, trained myself to toss away the ones that really weren't useful.
I'm so glad I did, none of them would ever go on this foot again!!!!
Hope your day is a good one, after therapy.
dbdoberman, THANKS........that's so cool.
I do get out today, the DOCTOR....hope he is kind. I get the PT Cruiser ride today, my neighbor is taking me. Fun ride if nothing else.
Driving Miss Daisy.
Wonder where we will eat today? hm.....
If you are having the weather we are here, getting out will be a real treat, well - except for that Dr. business. Some time cruising around and you get to eat tooooooo!!!!! Enjoy yourself today.
Yes the weather today is excellent!!!! Therapy was okay, til I had to soak my foot in a whirlpool with the water at 45 degrees, other than that, I am coming along, slowly. Not as fast as they thought.
Well thanks everyone and I hope that your cruise was great and the doctor had some good news,let us know.
Jackie
We had a good time, wonderful weather and the doc cut my cast,down each side and tightened it closer together around my poor, ole, missing muscle leg. Just like wearing a new tight shoe.
Crap.
I need a sedative.......not really, just a kick back into reality would be best.
Till next time, no dancing. BUT, this body needs exercise, so I will work real hard on that !
Glad your day went well Jackie, chill and all. At least you are in PT. ( hey I was too
cruiser )
Time to look at the news, I need to see what's happening in the world.
Well if that is a good thing what they did I am glad. I am also happy you got a little PT in yourself.
Dont look at the news, looks like war to me. Oh my poor baby will be leaving soon, I know it.Back to the bad luck thing. What else?
God Bless them all!!!
Jackie
Sis, did the Dr. cut my message off your cast?
^&***^&***^&**&^
Hugs to Jackie....
Dr. was shocked to say the least !! Too funny.
I had a good talk with him today though. Told him I want to go back to work. He shakes his head well
I guess I need to wait a while longer or get someone to do my Leg Work, literally !
Hi NYgal;
Did you hear about the guy that called his PT cruiser, Tom?
Dan'l & the Boop
Good One, I would like a Tom Cruiser LOL...
Thanks, NY Gal, 48 more days!!! Lounge chair, sun and peace, here I come!!!! If only peace was that easy. Oh well, this to shall pass, I am really learning to be a survivor, for real. I do not need the jungles, getting out of this maze of life is enough.
Take care and think of Tom,maybe he will be your PT for real!!!!
Jackie
Today will be a better day for everyone. Just waking up is something positive.
Nothing beats breathing in and out!
Glad you had an enjoyable time on your outing, NYGal, and the dr. visit sounded near painless.
With your cast cut down, you prolly are better at break dancin'. You could do splits and stuff!
Jackie, you'll be good as new once you get to AC. Don't worry about that little encounter we are going to have - he'll be there and back in no time.
I've thought of twirling a baton. Think I could be a majorette? Step, klunk, spin, twirl, repeat and to the sounds of big musical instruments. OK, I just got tired.
Sun, sand, tropical sounds and birds flying over. Think about it...........ahhhhhhhhh.
Todays weather in Belize, coastal is 97 !!! I sure hope there are some breezes to go along with the wonderful warmth.
Better days!!! This is true, AC on the brain and dont think of much else. Sounds like a plan. Thanks and sorry for whining!!! But it helps, sometimes. I hope all turns out for the good and I will keep you posted. At least the sun is shining now, that helps.
Jackie
*SPLAT!* ........damn birds.....
Yes, I can see you with that baton - kinda an "animal house" thing
97 degrees!! WOW! Guess we would have to be in the water all the time. OK!
Were you whining? Naaa.....just venting frustration. We are all here for one another, and getting splatted.
Darn that dbdoberman, I got caught at my own jest. Do not look up, look ahead.
"food fight"
Always forward and never back, and now for sure never up!!!
Thanks,
food fight??? COOL!!! just don't accept any "finger food" from toad.......especially lady fingers
Went to the doctor today, he told me now that I have to go to pain management, no clue, what that is, but from what he is saying, my foot will never be the same and this will help me deal for life.
Skipped out on PT today, to nice of a day!!! 67 and sunny.
Jackie
Oh my, Pain Management is just a nice way of telling you, your gonna have pain for the rest of your life, learn to deal with it. Then they will give you ways to do it, other than medication that relieves the pain. That sucks.
I always figured, when the doctors ( where I used to work ) told a patient they needed pain management, they didn't believe their pain was as bad as they ( the doc ) believed them to have.
It always made me mad when they didn't believe the patient. So they sent them elsewhere to deal with it. I sure hope I am wrong, Jackie.
It's like brushing you off and not believing you need a pain pill or something. Grrrrrrrr......
I was inside all day, but our weather was on the cooler side, lucky you.
I go on Thursday to the doc, hoping he takes this stupid white, ugly, heavy, mean, stinking cast off !!! Then that awful therapy on a lazy leg... I'll miss it then probably, the security. Oh the fun of suffering.
Oh, that is nice. So, he probably does not believe me, especially since I told him how stupid therapy was. So, they will give me ways to deal, that will be good, how many will I follow.
Well since my foot is still bruised after 6 weeks, I would hope he belives it still hurts.
So ready to leave for AC!! With my brace and all. I guess everyone will recognize me,the 3B's,blonde,bikini and brace, only 4 B's for my close friends.
Jackie
I hope I am wrong about that pain management.
I have always wondered if the doctor had the discomfort what he/she would do.
5 b's..that stupid luck thing too, but let's not count that on an AC adventure.
Better days are ahead, don't look for them and they just show up.....really.
Remember, don't look up.
Bad luck that would be the 5th B!!! No, no looking up only forward, I will remember that. I will call the PM tomorrow for an appointment. So, I will see how that will go and for sure will let you know.
Better days, hmmm.... been waiting for at least 7 years. I quit looking a long time ago. I just wait for the worst and hey, it usually happens, but I have a good attitude about it.
Jackie
*kicks Jackie* stay positive woman! note I didn't step on your foot
pain management is mind over matter, if you don't mind, it won't....you know the rest. I don't know how effective PM would be with a deep bruise, but I did use it with some success before. You have AC to look forward to, and maybe the saltwater, sunshine, and relaxation will make all the difference. Sometimes good things happen to those who wait, but alot of time, good things happen to those who make them happen!
NYGal, you picking out dancin' shoes yet? :p
Jackie sit on a pier/dock, with your feet in that beautiful blue salt water, wiggle your toes, and that is PT, of the best kind. For PM, look into that beautiful sunrise or sunset, with a Beliken, and that is PM, Belize style.
Sorry not sure how you will manage PT and PM when you get back home, but I know you will, you are strong.
yup, she is strong! she has to be handling work and feeling thataway. You can do it Jackie!
good things can and do happen for you, YOU ARE GONNA BE IN BELIZE SOON! and just do everything that Chloe said......wait and see if that doesn't change everything! Going through what you did, plus the frightful winter, then going back to work when you might not have been ready can make everything seem YUCK! Stay Strong! ya hear? don't make me come up there and kick ya!
Hey NYGAL, are you still trying to get that duct tape off your mouth?
I finally broke free of the duct tape on my hands.
she must be out break dancin' again, Chloe.....
Thanks everyone, for keeping my spirits up and for reminding me that I am a survivor. I tend to forget sometimes.
Chloe, I am hoping that after I get home, I will not need PT or PM, I will be in that Belize state of mind. Yes, sitting on the dock with my feet in the water, what more could one want.
No dbd..., I would not want you to kick me, been there already.
Thanks again!!!
Jackie
The tape has been removed ! !
Glad to hear the tape is removed,would that be mouth or leg,not that is matters but,if you have extras, I know what we could do with it!
Jackie
as day turns into night, and I leave this board of enchantment, I bid all my fave folks on here a fond adieu!
that means I have to go find some grub, I'm hungry, then to bed because I have an early morning flight!
NYGal, keep on dancing, you are truly as graceful as a gazelle!
Jackie, just hang in there girl, soon it will be your turn to enjoy the sea & sun......belize it!
toad, love your humor, have it when I get back!
Chloe, keep on being wise. I hope you don't have to grit your teeth too many times!
now that, I am NOT gonna miss!
and all the rest of ya, I just love this place!
thanks for making this board what it is.
I've peeked my last time at "THE FLAG" and "OVERWEIGHT DIVERS", would be a shame for those topics to be dropped by the time I get back, wouldn't it? haha.
Take care all, I am outta here......
YA BETTER BELIZE IT!
Adios
Have fun.
Dob, you are so full of fun and good humor, you are going to have the time of your life on Ambergris. Can't wait to read your trip accounting. Say Hi to all our local and board friends for us. Especially Bill, Paisano, Pedro and Scubalady.
NYgal, sure hope all is gettin better for ya!
Chloe you sure be right about db... I was a lookin... but did not find. (kinda like NY and her adventure)
I did ask two different people, but they thought I was nutso I believe. But hey, I tried. Woulda, coulda, been cool!
Maybe next trip...
Hopie, could our DB be invisible? That would be a real letdown.
I honestly don't think so Chloe...
I believe db is for real and it would have been a pleasure to meet em. I think I wasn't in the right time or place when they arrived or were around. I kinda lost the last 5 days there, and that would have been the time to meet up.
I was just anxious ta meet I think, WAY prior to the arrival.
Poor, poor Hopie... (again)
HEY...HELLO NYgal..where are you?
With the new short cast, are you being a snob?
awwwww, Hopie, Hopie, I did look for you! I was at BC's on Sunday, Pier Lounge on Wedneday, Fidos on Wed. and Friday. Where the heck were you?
There will be a next time, fer sure!
Chloe! I had the bestest time, I aim to sit down and do a trip report. Sometime........
Where is NYGal???? Haven't seen a post from her since I be back. Hope all is well. Maybe she is out taking dancing lessons......punta maybe??
Maybe she has been shaving her leg for 4 days, that hair really grows, under them casts.
I think I hear a chainsaw
Seriously, does anybody know how she is doing?
CHLOE WHERE ARE YOU??? Do you know?
hoenstly, & seriously..I dunno - no see for a bit
Not a word from Nygal for days, really.
I have no idea what is going with Nygal, but starting to get concerned.
Guess I could ring her up tomorrow.
hope this doesnt turn into another "Bill Thornton" chase
Yes, please do. Thanks Chloe.
Thanks Chloe, tell her I miss seeing her hair on here!
her hair style, I meant! not the leg hair, tell her to keep that, braid it, and make a bracelet or sumtin.
Nygal if you are reading us, you best check in.
I could publish your phone number you know.
Just kidding, I think!
that might do it, Chloe! let me find a pen :p
Just called Nygal, she is alive and well.
Due to the ice storm last week, all utilities and services were damaged, and it is taking time for the Cable Co. to repair her snapped line.
She said HI, and "use those ziploc bags to pickup the trash while on Ambergris"
YA!YA!YA! thanks, Chloe! Glad to hear all is well with her.
She must be bored outta her gourd to not be able to get online.....poor thing.
DB not only not able to get on line, no electricity or heat for several days. Finally got a generator.
brrrrrrrrr, she should have knitted a sweater from the leg hair to help keep warm :p
glad she found a generator, that's a real pain - happened to me here a few year's ago. Hope we see her soon!
Oh My, when it rains it pours, poor thing. I am going through phase, lets see.... maybe 20 for the year of bad luck.
Jackie
Smiles for you NYGAL!!!!!!
I miss her, at least she will lighten up the board when she gets back.New discussion, hopefully real soon.
Hi, Here I am.
We have had NO POWER since last week Thursday.
One terrible ice storm that devistated many counties in NY. Our county is still in an emergency situation. No work for many many people, no school, no unnecessary driving. Hundreds of thousands without power.
Many of our trees are destroyed, our yard is totally wiped out. Ice damage for miles and miles and miles ! !
Just got our power on Tuesday, so we have heat again and lights ! !
Had to wait for cable to be connected to say HELLO...it's been a living hell.
More at another time.
P.S. Physical therapy is hell too !!!
NY..I'm so sorry to hear your plight. Been there and done it....not fun.
Hope your pipes did'nt freeze...
I feel your pain...
Yup been there done that too aobut 5 yrs ago or so up here in the frozen tundra...I feel for ya NYG - but welcome back! we missed ya!
HEY GIRLY!!! Glad you are back, I missed seeing you here on my return. Was sure glad to hear you are ok, except for those little inconveniences you had to put up with. :p Sorry to hear about your PT, but IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, NOW BEND THAT FOOT!
Hey, it seems that maybe, just maybe, you might be the sole owner of that fabulous hair again!
WELCOME BACK!
Welcome Back!!!!!!!!
Oh, by the way I quit therapy and never made it to pain management. Therapy does suck, but since your injury was far worse than mine, you better stick with it, for a while, that is.
Take care,
Jackie
Thanks everyone. I had a reply written, a real good one and guess what......too many images and it disappeared.
So later today I'll try again.
Everyone was in it too. FYI, only 8 images allowed. I must have had 9. Darn
Just like all this trash talk, too much.
I had the computer pick up mine, it must know I am somewhat disabled.
( no added comments, ha ha )
not even one teensy one???
db - nice pun
"sole owner"
good one, think of some more! haha!
she's mobility challenged, cyber dependent, and that is assuming she was talking about her foot :p
Hey Girl, Glad your back. Hang in there. It allways gets better.
