~ma Steph! knees are bullshit!
and so are slow healing ankles. any where on the bipedal system is painful and fragile.
poorly designed indeed!
in other news...while I;m waiting to do another CAT on my ankle to see i f my bone simulator has improved the ankle, I now have a toothache. one of my older crowns. but as things are right now it with the ankle and all of the difficulties just getting down to the parking lot of my building, it would be a lot of bother to get there. So, I'm trying to wait until I have permission to put weight on this thing. It's been 6.5 months and I am very very tired of it.
quester, that is so frustrating! I hope it turns out that the bone stimulator helped your ankle.
Knee update: not 100% better today, but at least 50% better. Maybe even 75% better. I'll keep throwing ibuprofen at it and keeping it elevated today.
Ugh, Tep!
Take this with a grain of salt because I am definitely projecting, but consider going to the ER if only to get an MRI to rule out ACL tear. I had to wait four months for surgery because I just went to urgent care, and they only had Xray. It took another months before my PCP was finally able to get my MRI referral through, and that put my surgery off for months.
You probably just have something benign, but an MRI would tell you for sure. Signed, Overly Cautious Because Reasons.
My sinuses are making my face hurt. I'm hoping it's just allergies and that covid didn't finally catch up with me.
Would you use the phrase "_____ seconds flat" for a number like 4.74? Or would you only use it for whole numbers?
Whole numbers. To me, "flat" means "no fractions."
That's what I thought, too. This article is making me twitchy. [link]
Yeah I'm with "flat" meaning no fractions.
Talked someone today that gave insight into why the store manager got fired. and I hadn't been around when she was being like this but she did need to be fired.
Agh, taking a taxi home from the airport because lately it’s faster and cheaper than an Uber. But annoying when the first cab doesn’t have a meter (I got out—there’s not a negotiated flat rate to my neighborhood like there is to downtown and I don’t want a surprise) and the guy was pissy. Sorry dude. And now I’m in a cab where I can’t see the meter, which is also annoying. (And he’s driving a bit like a maniac). This is why Uber/lyft are handy. Sigh.
Yesterday turned out to be less productive than I'd hoped. No housecleaning aside from taking out the trash, and while I did get a start on weather staining my outdoor furniture in the evening, mosquitoes drove me inside after I'd gotten one coat on the top and sides of a single chair. I did get grocery shopping done for two households though, so it wasn't a total bust.
Weekends used to be so long, and now I blink and they're over.
