    lol!! That show is so sad to me, because many of the ''hoarders'' are depressed and they're hanging onto their mess for comfort or something. :(

    What I'm doing is recuperating.

    Here's what happened. My back was sore on Saturday so my wife applied a Salon Patch to it and it worked great. Went to bed with a heating pad, woke up and felt good. Had breakfast, puttered around, logged onto here and posted stupid stuff....then twisted in my chair and had a sharp pain like someone stuck me in the back with a knife.

    So I got up, turned on the heating pad and laid on the couch for about one and a half hours watching TV. So far so good.
    Then I decided to get up as I was feeling guilty about lying around.
    Ouch.
    That hurt, I did manage to get to my feet but couldn't stay there, I had to lay back down.

    Then my wife said you're going to First Care to get a shot of muscle relaxer.
    Then we spent the next 45 minutes trying to get me to my feet.
    Ouch again.

    Eventually I ended up on my back on the coffee table with the master plan of tilting the table down so I could get my feet on the ground and then stand.
    No dice.

    So my wife calls an ambulance and these two guys walk in and say. "What's up?"
    "Can you stand because the gurney is up here and you're down there."
    And I'm thinking, "Does it fucking look like I can stand up? "I'm lying here on the fucking coffee table."
    But I don't say that, I just croak out in a little girl voice, "No, it hurts."

    And these guys are like, "Well, I don't know how we're going to do it, you just need to man up and get off you sissy ass!" Or something to that effect.
    And he holds out his hand.
    So I'm thinking "YE HA! GUNG HO! LET'S DO IT!!!"
    And I grab his hand and he pulls and I stand.
    GOD!, I thought I got run through with a sword! I couldn't breath and the pain was, to put it mildly, awful.
    Then I had to walk to the gurney and lie down.

    I end up lying in one of those ER evaluation rooms and they give me an EKG, and disappear. About 2 hours later a doctor appears and says, "Your'e in an awful lot of pain for a back ache." And I'm thinking, "No shit."
    "Maybe you have a collapsed lung or a blood clot."
    They give me a shot of some pain killer and wheel me of for an x-ray and blood test.

    Two hours later and the doctor comes in and says, "You know we don't see this much but something or other could be wrong your with your chest plumbing."
    Off I go for the Cadillac, as she calls it, of CT scans.

    Three hours later back comes the doctor. Everything looks great! No pulmonary tear, vitals good, you're very healthy, however, I do notice some changes going on in your spine.
    "Great", I'm thinking.
    Turns out I've got chronic degenerative spinal bones caused by too much hard work, basically. I wore down the front part of all my spinal column bones and now apparently there are little nerve endings sticking out that tend to rub on shit.

    "But don't worry", she said, "it doesn't affect your health in any way, you'll just have back pain."
    Turns out I have to give up anything that puts pressure on my spine, no more bench presses, rowing machines, etc.
    So now I need to come up with a new gym routine.

    Then they shoot me full of steroids with an IV and send me home. I could actually walk. 'Don't expect to sleep", she said.

    Now, after I've been up all night, cranked on steroids, which I must say is pretty smooth, I'm sitting my chair typing this.
    Feeling pretty good and expecting a full recovery in a few weeks.

    I must say I really feel for those with real health problems and no insurance!
    Some poor women across from me was freaking out, apparently a drug overdose, she was brought in alone by some cops.

    What's the matter with this country and health care????

    Anyway hoping to sleep sometime...off to sit in a chair and watch a movie I guess, then read a book, then watch another movie, etc., etc.

    Life is good!!!!!

    Sounds a lot like what my dad had once. Esp. that softer stuff in the middle part of your spine peaking out, against nerves and between the hard parts of the spine. He still does some mild lifting, but has no problems as long as he watches out.
    Excellent recap btw, you could write a novel! :-D

    1:20pm cst.

    Sitting in my chair outside with my girls, no wind , blue sky, full warm sun.

    Im soaking up as much vitamin D as I can.
    Too bad my 4 girls cannot produce vitamin D in the skin. They must rely on their diet for adequate intake. :(

    Going to the gym, soon. Took the day off, and had a fun day! Went make up shopping and bought a pretty eye shadow and tinted moisturizer. I don't wear much make up but I like to experiment with some new looks for the fall. :)

    resting after doing an oil and filter change on my car (first time since last year)...needed it bad

    also fixed the leak (was the return oil pipe from the turbo a bit loose)...and cleaned out the intercooler

    also cleaned out the air filter (too cheap to buy a new one)

    You get high marks for humor again and for making me laugh at the "But I don't say that, I just croak out in a little girl voice, "No, it hurts." comment....It takes a lot to make me laugh these days.

    although, I am sorry for the pain you have to go through with your back now.....
    back pain sucks. i get it too in my lower back. i had it bad for quite a long time, but then it magically disappeared the last two months...so i forgot to mention it to my doctor....and now it is back again.

    Doctor with his needle shots made my feet worse again....ugh/....and they were getting better...

    and I have a slight numbness in my left nostril and left surrounding eye nerves the last two days that is just weird.....

    Have my brain scan or whatever they do this week to see what is going on. I am thinking blood clot....that made me go blind last year that is travelling around.



    Right now I am sitting here waiting for my call back about all of my blood work taken almost two weeks ago now....
    They were called this morning...and of course, I missed the call when they called back, so I called them back...and was told over an hour ago they would call back....still waiting here....

    yeah, life is good.

    Still have not listed that doll, and i better hop to it. I was going to sell another, but her eyelashes had to be replaced, as i took her to the beach to photograph her for a story,and the salt air made her eyelashes wonky and come off... since i will have to take a big loss for that one, I might as well keep her...and sell the one who has perfect eyelashes still......who was my favorite once for a few years.....What am I waiting for, since i have resolved to sell her? A blue moon, i suppose... :D

    These dolls are so big and heavy, and the shipping charges are no fun, either..... :D

    and it is always a worry that any buyer will be perfectly happy...but enough worrying...i better hop to it.

    There used to be a "doll hospital" around here that would restore dolls. My wife had the face of one of hers redone, I think it was bisque and it was chipped or something.

    Turned out really well, I think the cheeks were redone and the eyes repainted.
