Surprisngly, not so much. (Which is why even really active senior citizens can fall and break a hip. It's usually the other way around - the hipbone breaks, causing a fall.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
ION, my mom gave me a shoulder-specific icepack because it was too big for her AIFG! My left shoulder and arm today feel like someone tried to hack them off with an axe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am excited to report that I still have some cooking mojo. I've been kind of out of the habit and/or making things I didn't love. I had some unknown winter squash that I roasted last week, so I just made it into a cream soup with a shallot, some ginger, and some cumin. Delish! And super fast and easy, since the squash was already roasted. Note to self.

Sounds good!
King Arthur Flour site has loads of great recipes. Someone just posted this one that's like homemade Twix bars. Don't click it if you're on a diet... [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IT guy is switching my laptop. This better be over soon. And they're taking my 22" monitor away. Apparently the cool kids like flatscreen LCDs. Whatever.
Bored now.

They're not giving me 1800 x1440, so I don't wanna play. Most people here don't even dual monitor with their laptop"s screen. Real estate means nothing to them. Heathens.

This morning, my yogurt exploded all over me and my chair, and then had the audacity to have a spot of mold. Everything went downhill from there.
Or I should say it's still going, because I haven't left work yet.

Such a large temptation to link to the Misha kefir picture for what would be the second time today.
I need to mix up my game.

hip deep in pie
DaisyJane, your pain sounds similar to my back pain, which is caused by compressed disk. The swelling and compression causes the pain to radiate out into my hip and butt, sometimes into my thigh. For me, it's standing, carrying things and walking that aggravate it.
I went for physio for a while which helped, and she gave me some exercises which work...but I tend to slack when it's not hurting and things get ouchy again.
For immediate relief, ice on the back where compression swelling is help to take the swelling downa dn relieve pressure on the nerves. But I also use heat on the muscles that get tensed up if there's a day of walking around where I don't get a chence to get much relief.
