Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey Kirk, Seems like you are having some pretty sorry luck right now. Hope you aren't feeling too bad tomorrow. It's funny that I am always up late reading and you are usually around posting. Did you fall because of ice (I don't remember where you are located). It is raining outside here now (western NC). Temp is pretty low so I'm sure it will be ice by morning. I hope it clears up by midday. I have to take my son and myself to the doctor for a check-up. Not too worried about myself, but I hate to drive on slick roads with Jon in the car with me. Well, can't think of anything else to say. Goodnight! </HTML> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 LOL it could be worse I don't know why but I thought you were a college kid living by yourself with no help around. At least you have your family around to help out when you are sick......My boyfriend is 30 miles away and my family is 65 miles away... I had to move out to BFE where I could afford to live.....Just me and my cat.....YES I am complaining LOL..... I was trying to cheer you up earlier....thinking you were some scared college kid..... you are probably my age or older lol I'm 44 and I used to work in law enforcement which I know that I will never be able to return to....life does suck. I hate having live like this..... but I guess that I am going to have to get used to it. I'm used to helping other people, I am not used to being the one that needs help. Take it easy.....I am glad that you have a family to take care of you LOL Kathleen Kirk Bonanny wrote: I'm loving it! Took the kids to the Boy Scout's Christmas Party, had a good time and was feeling alright for the first time in a while. Pulled into my driveway and got out of my van.......then decided to help my wife get the stuff out of the van. I figured her hands would be full and I'd shut the sliding door. I made it two steps and FWEW!!!! my legs flew out from under me and I landed like a large rock on my left side. Thank God it wasn't my back (osteoporosis of the spine) but I really pissed off my hip, ankle and lower leg. It's throbbing pretty damn hard now, and I hope I can walk tomorrow. Oh well, when you're screwed, you're screwed!!! Thought I'd let you know. Adios, Kirk. PS....By some miracle, my head missed the rear bumper on my truck....couldn't have missed by much as my head wound up under the bumper......that might have been better, as at least I would'nt know about it yet!!! Than again, with the rock I have mounted to my shoulders, it probably would have just pissed me off worse! -- Everything in life sucks except things that should!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Kirk...oh no!! Its time for a long hot bath...at least once a day. Falling is so scary!! It upsets us emotionally even if we don't get hurt. I can remember just crying the times I fell....one time .....I said to myself. " why did I fall? " after thinking about it...I realized I did not have on a good shoe. Years ago I would spend as little as possible on clothes so I could take a trip somewhere. A trip I took alright....right to the ground.....Well, shoes are important. Those high top work boots are a good winter shoe. Well I hope you are getting some extra TLC Hugs Liz **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 ...you hit the nail on the head with ice!!! My house sits about 20 feet higher than the street and my driveway is a slope, although no too steep. I did hit ice that was melting snow earlier in the day. It can't be thicker than 1/8 " ...you know the flat,skinny invisible kind. Thinking back now, the first thing I felt was my left leg buckle hard (and that's my " better leg, my right one is " gimpy " ) and my can ripped out of my hands....than it felt like someone whacked my with a hammer as my weight mostly landed on my lower left leg & hip. As I stated earlier, I'm pretty happy as it at least wasn't the kind of fall where both feet fly out from under oneself and you land on your back, inevitably smashing your head hard enough off the ground to need stitches....I guess by reading that one anyone can tell I was NEVER Mr. Coordination!!! Bull in a China shop syndrome one can call it I suppose. I'm also up late very often, as night time is my worst time. I scream (so I've been told by countless people) incredibly loud in my sleep and pain wakes me up very often. I have a hard time staying asleep at night because of this, yet once 7:00AM rolls around...I tend to sleep much better. Go figure. Tonight I went to bed @ 10:00 or so, woke up the first time around midnight.....back to sleep around 1:00 AM, back up at 2:15, sleep, awake now @ 3:45 AM......and I'll be going back to sleep shortly and guarantee I'll be back up by 5:00 AM. Yet...I am totally exhausted!!!! I could sleep for days on end for weeks!!!! I've been through sleep pills that don't buy me more than an hour.....night time cold medicine.......name it, I've tried it....it doesn't work....yet the sleep Dr. (asshole, one of their kings, I believe!) wouldn't go past the pills he had me try and kept blowing me of until I decided he wasn't worth my aggravation. He swore up & down that I had sleep apnea, sold me the machine and then couldn't be bothered by me. I used the machine for 6 months straight with zero improvement, and now it is in a box under my bed. It drove me nuts wearing it, but at least the nurse from the med supply store tried her butt off to make it work for me, but the Dr.....he wouldn't be able to see me for at least 3 months. I guess he made his money, why waste his golf time to see a patient with REAL problems. I'm quite proud of myself as I've stopped at least three people from going to this " crack " Dr. by telling them how interested he was in my case until he sold me the machine......than he couldn't be bothered with me, making me wait weeks and months for an appointment (yet he was amazingly able to fit me into his " tight " schedule the day I was released from the resort in Feb/05!!! Oh well...thanks for the reply. Have a good one.Kirk. > > Hey Kirk, > Seems like you are having some pretty sorry luck right now. Hope you > aren't > feeling too bad tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Kathleen...I can relate to the hatred of being in this situation...I miss my job immensely! By the way, I'm 36, " Al Bundy'd " (Married) w/children (9) & on (6). You bring up something I was just thinking about last night when I found out one of my customers (who I used to have, but I still go down the shop to hang out when I can) just became a Pa State Trooper. I was thinking it is amazing how many of my friends are Troopers (7) or city police (5). When you factor in that I was a hell raiser (nothing illegal excluding the fights here and there) until I married (even my bachelor party the weekend prior to my wedding 6 friends & I beat the hell out of 20 idiots who picked the wrong bunch to start a fight with and did $4500.00 damage to a pancake house (still one of the best nights of my life!!!)) (not charged, they just split the damages 27 ways and we had to pay for the damage...the only thing that upset me was I had to pay my broke ass brothers' share) but since have literally been an angel. I grew up with quite a few of these guys, and became friends with the others in numerous ways. Weird....I was a mechanic for 20 years and don't " know " 20 mechanics...... Oh well, have a Merry Christmas and good night. Kirk > > LOL it could be worse I don't know why but I thought you were a college > kid living by yourself with no help around.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I don't know Kirk,  with the run of luck you are having you would have cracked your head and had to go to the hospital and not get waited on for 3 hours and then have someone yell at you for bleeding onto the floor! Diane  42 p.s.  I am also up late  doing a bit of laundry and wrapping Christmas presents...my daughter and son-in-law and 17 month granddaughter are coming in from the Pacific Northwest and I can't wait. We were supposed to go on vacation to see them in October but I was in the hospital getting diagnosed with this crappy Stills disease! Haven't seen them since July when the baby turned one!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 sounds to me like everyone is in the same mood I am in and would just rather skip christmas.. maybe the Kranks had it right when they decided to take a cruise instead of decorate for christmas...

We thought of moving to Hawaii!!!!! couldn't do it... couldn't leave the family......plus the expensive!!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 OK gang, you know how this works. Any amount of stress, large or small can trigger a flare up or worse. Breathe deep, now blow it out and relax. I understand all the hussle and bussle for the holiday, although I'll NEVER understand shopping at 5 a.m. on black Friday (earlier for some stores around here)...you know people were actually camping out in front of Best Buy on Thanksgiving! OK, moving on. What I'm trying to say is you have to find a less stressful way of buying things. For instance, and Rubin both have birthdays right after Christmas. I've ordered online, by phone and by fax, just to avoid the nastiness of the idiots that don't know how to park and still have the nerve to yell at me because I'm waiting for someone to pull out of a space! I HATE WALMART! I ordered a skateboard kit for Rubin's 15th birthday. Bought it online, the kid was with me, telling me what to buy. We received it yesterday...wrong deck! Everything else was correct but they packed the wrong deck! I called customer service, they're overnighting the supposed right deck and I have to ship this back but I can't use the label they gave me for some reason. So now I have to pay for the shipping, fax them a copy of the receipt and they'll refund that amount from our bill but it won't happen until February. I'll forget about it by then (as most people might). I have to go walk the dogs. Merry Christmas to all of you that celebrate it and a happy and healthy New Year! Take care and be well.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hey Kirk, Your sleep pattern sounds a lot like mine. I can always sleep wonderfully after daylight (until my son wakes up). Sleeping pills don't usually help me either. The only thing that will make me sleep is Phenergan. Is is a RX nausea medicine. Only problem is that it leaves you with that hungover feeling. Gave my husband one once when he was having stomach trouble. It knocked him out for 2 days. Anyway, might try it if you haven't already. You didn't mention how you are feeling today? Hopefully not too bad from the fall. Take care. </HTML> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
