Well worth the toils... the view my Goddess Wife and I are enjoying!

Paradise!

 

[Wonderer67]

We find out today. The Zoom w the oncologist (I didn’t sit in on it) was that the cancer is very slow moving and they want to wait until this broken bone in her back heals before radiation treatments. That’s the gist of it now. So I’m taking all that Sweet&Low and any other chemical concoctions out of her house. Diet and antioxidant heavy foods to help in the slowing process. That’s the order of the day.

Good news.

You are doing the right thing.

Fingers crossed for more good news.

This is my last year of grandpa taxiing. Next year school starts for my grandson and the school system has a preschool for my grand daughter. I have a full year to think of my new role. A year is a long time.

I suspect you may miss it a bit.

But glad you’re thinking of the next role. Love that, grandpa!

 

[Wonderer67]

It hurts to touch.... I need to rest ice compress and elevate....

But the festival is tomorrow and I will be on my feet all day...ugh

Or I wont....

I’d say be careful. You don’t want to hurt it more. Being there is important but you should point and tell people where to put stuff.

And take a load off.

I forgot to post the recipe when people asked for it. Here it is;

Fruit coffee cake
Mix:
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
4-5 oz Greek yogurt
4-5 oz applesauce

Add to the liquid mixture:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup whole wheat flour

Then add in 1/2 - 2 cups berries

Pour into greased cake sheet

Sprinkle top with slivered almonds

Bake 350 for 30 minutes.

I just saved it. We’re having a family get together next weekend!

Rather true

Actually I did. Something about stomach acid etc. I am on omeprozole 24/7/365 now so maybe I can go back to black. Nothing wrong with that. I like it hot strong and black.

Home. TDK. Ethyl. Panther. Nothing in the mail to speak of. Today didn't suck all that much. I'm stuck on a work island. Maybe best place of all. We'll see.


Oversleeping may occur.

Holy
took me all day to catch up

Shingles in the eye and the genitals is especially awful.

anywhere near the eyes can be a risk of vision issues, including blindness. immediately seek care in these instances!

Precisely. It feels like I have the responsibility but not the authority to get some things implemented and/or to get some stuff to stick. They wanna play outta the I-formation? Great. Do it elsewhere.

I hate responsibility without authority! It's just management off-loading on to you. You get no credit when things work out but ALL the blame when they don't.

Kind of like an attack dog with no teeth
Same stuff happens with my team - very irritating

I see mine twice a week. She really pushes me, which is good. On Tuesday, she had me doing Farmer Carrys with 80 lbs. I had to walk out about 40 meters then walk back. Like a smartass, I walked back backwards the first time so she up'd my weights.

Impressive!! Way to go... well, except for poking your trainer

You should preemptively take the LOA. Fuck him!

Take your dick out...
Gets you a sick out
LOA, LOA, LOA
All seriousness - what a crap situation. I support whatever decision you and your goddess make to best address this situation.

We'll keep today as low-key as possible.

I hope you got your wish!

Yay! Win Column!!
I'm prescribing a healthy dose of oversleeping. It's such good medicine

And some.....
naps

Where are my manners? It's the weekend. Nappetizers... lots of nappetizers should be on the menu!! Thanks, Miss K

Fuck that guy

absolutely agree!

I had a whole month on Wednesday

This week has been unreasonably long

I’ve had shines.
No fun!

I agree - I've seen/heard more than enough over the years that I called and scheduled my shots as close to my 50th bday as I could. beats shingles in my book!

All in all, a really nice showing.

Lovely photos and congratulations on the awards!!

The same. I got it from stress as well.

Stress is a royal motherfucker!! It can do SO much damage!!

The good news of the day: School busses are now equipped with dash cameras to catch those that don’t stop for the flashing lights. I say good! Children safety first.

Not so good news, more than half of drivers speed through school zones.

Terrifying! Those CCTV videos of close calls w/ kids?
I can't watch them.

Black coffee is great, you do get to appreciate good beans!

Which is why I never order coffee at a coffee shop. They brew in such quantity that it tastes burnt and muddy.
No thanks.

This is my last year of grandpa taxiing. Next year school starts for my grandson and the school system has a preschool for my grand daughter. I have a full year to think of my new role. A year is a long time.

Congratulations! That's a nice space of time to make a smooth transition.

Thanks to all who make this thread what it is. I sincerely mean that.
We just operate on a different plain here.

Very kind words and a lovely compliment. Thank you, HDH

Oh no! SPOONIE DOWN... We have a spoonie down!!

I need something!!

So sorry. I give a great massage.

Or I can just organize a go team to bring a few of us in on rotation to massage them

It hurts to touch.... I need to rest ice compress and elevate....
But the festival is tomorrow and I will be on my feet all day...ugh
Or I wont....

Rest rest rest! Stay off your feet today and elevate. Ice them down, so you can at least go a bit tomorrow, but if you can’t, don’t be afraid to pull the plug.

I worked in a warehouse when I was in school. Concrete floor walking all day. I had shin splints from playing basketball back then and it would aggravate that. I can’t imagine walking 5 hrs on solid concrete now

One other thing…soak in Epsome salts.

I’d say be careful. You don’t want to hurt it more. Being there is important but you should point and tell people where to put stuff.

And take a load off.

Until the Massage Pit Crew is organized and deployed, please start self-care measures to minimize further exacerbation of the issue and promote healing:
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
(^^which you've already mentioned)
Also - what @Wonderer67 said, get a lawn chair, park yourself, and direct others.

You have been constructively promoted to Foreman (Foreperson?)

Thanks, B2... I'll have to give this a try!

Beautiful!! That is an amazing view!!

Actually I did. Something about stomach acid etc. I am on omeprozole 24/7/365 now so maybe I can go back to black. Nothing wrong with that. I like it hot strong and black.

okay, but maybe have a small nibble with the coffee so you have more than just black coffee for your stomach acid to work on?

 

[Wonderer67]

Today was a good day.

Woke up really early. Like at 4.

Our company alots us two volunteer days. So I organized an event with some other people. A local farm is a non profit and donates 100% of their crops to local free farmer markets and food banks.

We picked eggplant today from 8-12. Then I worked from home.

They still haven’t picked up the skid steer, so from 5 to 7 I knocked out a couple of areas that I wanted to look a little bit better.

Fire out at the patio.

Dinner: beer and goat cheese salad.

Good idea, I don't usually on my first cup but I do on second and third and...............cups. I am trying to gain weight so I have protein pars and oatmeal and ...............what ever I can eat in the morning.

 

[Qky75]

Shingles can be extremely painful depending on the dermatome they follow. Some people have very mild courses, some are excruciating.

I have seen more than my share of those suffering from shingles in the eye and head. Of all the most horrific and painful ailments I've seen, herpes zoster ophthalmicus is among the worst. I wouldn't wish it on my enemy.

Shingles in the eye and the genitals is especially awful.

On a lighter note, I find the chasm between genitals and eyes is best left observed and respected.

 

[Rj_1954]

I knew you two were linked! That thread is awesome BTW. I just tend to hit one or two threads now and don’t wander over there…maybe need to go visit again.

We are more than linked...we share phone #'s and email with each other. There's nothing like talking "live" to close friends. Lady K is also talking to her.

Send her my best. Haven’t been over there in a while, but used to chat some about music and her bands in the past.

It may not help with weight gain, as that's not my goal. I'm protein-challenged, so I add liquid protein to my coffee. My mug holds @ 2 cups so my one mug of daily coffee has 15 grams of protein.
You may find a different product that helps you with both protein and weight gain. I use LPS Collagen & Whey Protein Supplement 32 oz. container for daily use and the individual packets when I travel or am away from home.

Here’s a terrific thread called “daily music challenge.” There is a theme each day and you can only post one song. It’s really good!

But also not opposed to music themes.

This looks like a fun thread!

I love vocaroo! Was introduced to the site by a fellow Litster... I found it easy to navigate, but for those like me who like a good "How-To" or User Manual:

Vocaroo How-Tos are on their FAQs page. I found them from the "About" link at the bottom of their site. I typically visit a new site's "About" link when feeling them out.

No, I'm sure not. Patients have told me how painful it is.

I haven't had it; I'm glad I got the vaccines. Just about everyone in our generation had measles, mumps, chicken pox, and rubella.

Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. The virus hides in the nerve roots and can activate at any time. Besides causing the rash and blisters, an attack can also lead to prolonged and ongoing nerve pain.

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh…
My…
god…

I so want those!!!

All of them!!!

Come on over! I packed up most of them and put them in the freezer. I did bring some to my trainer today.

 

[likes2watchU]

Seeing as how that's not gonna happen... I'm going to bed
Sweet Dreams, everyone!

 

[Lilianna23]

According to my doctor, now that I had shingles (brought on by stress), I don’t need the vaccine. I wonder if I should get a second opinion.

Here's a good article on whether one can get shingles more than once.

https://www.verywellhealth.com/shingles-more-than-once-5179714

Essentially, one can. Age, immune system status, chronic diseases can all potentiate a relapse.
