Or a stampede back to weblogs, seeing as FB is pretty much painting it's users into a corner. FB has turned pretty much into a vat of just meanspiritedness on the part of some people. Not everyone, and not even the majority of people, but the ones that like to laugh at people getting killed, or children caged... it takes too much energy and time.
I don't mind logging in to play the cooperative games, but going to stop checking the newsfeed.
But a failure to understand.
Yes, Mr S and Simon the Sadist said my left knee was BETTER than it was the previous week. Wing took that to mean all better, and without even asking me about it, or thinking on his part, had me standing on a hard floor, no walking around, for over an hour. By the time we got home, I was hurting. I took off my 'above the knee to just below the knee' brace, and put the thigh to ankle one on.
One would think that would've been a big clue, that and the fact I couldn't sleep because of the pain. But no. I gave him my script for medication, asking him to get it. He says ok, and I take that to mean he will be heading out himself. Again, but no! He pops his head into my office and doesn't ask, but tells me in his passive aggressive way that we were heading out in 30 minutes. He pops into the shower. So while he's getting cleaned up, I go through the struggle of getting socks, shoes, brace tube, and brace on, and then he said "You know, if it's so much trouble...." AFTER I had gone through the hardest part of getting ready.
I am not in the slightest homicidal, but if I had a NERF cricket bat, I might have used it a few times. Ok, I would look at it and fantasize about using it a few times.
It's a known, but for some reason, totally unfixable by either MicroSoft or Samsung (each are more interested in fixing the blame, instead of fixing the problem)
Out of the blue, S9 and Win10 can't connect, not unless you remove Samsung device, from computer, unpair phone, and start the whole thing of discovery all over again. Add to this that Win 10, unlike Win 7, you have to MANUALLY start the file transfer on the computer, then start file transfers from phone to desktop. Win 7, select file, select computer and send. Bluetooth isn't as convenient with Win 10.
Use a cable, you say? Did I mention that if you don't have your phone and cable in JUST the right position, Win 10 will cycle through USB device connected, USB device disconnected over and over? Two different computer, three different phones, three different cables, same shit over and over.
I tried one of those knit compression sleeves with the silicone strip that is supposed to keep it from slipping? Well, it doesn't. So, I tried using it under the old "Big Bionic Bertha" hinged knee brace. I had some success, but... I started getting a rash from the silicone strip.
*sigh*
LIGHTBULB! Turned the sleeve inside out, THEN put BBB over it. Successful.... but, it made ummm (thinking of delicate way to put this) it made shifting clothing out of the way for bodily functions difficult. I really don't want to have to schedule toilet breaks.
Let my fingers do the walking, and with review sites, questions asked, products examined, what I bought was a scaled down version of BBB., so I won't need the silicone sleeve under it, and the hinges won't catch on clothes (or doorways if I cut my corners too close)
After Loki did his impression of a gymnast mounting a balance beam on my left knee, today I broke out the "Big Bertha" knee brace and strapped it on. Too a while to get the straps just tight enough for it to stay in place, but not so tight to turn my foot blue or numb.
Sad to admit it feels better wearing it. I'm not getting the left /right movement now, and even if Loki pulls a repeat of yesterday, the brace hinges will prevent hyper extension.
Seems when I had the vertically fractured molar remove, the dentist missed a sliver, and it's been currently poking out through my gums. It's sharp, and because of the feeling of something that shouldn't be there, I have taken to putting gauze over it, to stop my tongue from worrying at it.
What I didn't know is that after a while, wet gauze is very abrasive, and is making my gums tender. Called the dentist last Friday, and will be going in to have it seen to tomorrow morning. *sigh*
Oh, did I mention that on top of enthesopathy , my hip starting hurting. Not the joint, that's fine. Physio that is doing the shockwave treatment on my heel thinks it could be bursitis. Oh joy.
Where do I start... keeping up with exercise therapist. Even though my left leg has altered sensation, the equipment being used, a reformer aka pilates machine, makes the muscles in that leg work, even if I can't feel it. The flaccid, or what used to be flaccid, muscle on the inside thigh just above the knee joint, is starting to resemble the one on my right leg. Also getting muscle tone in the leg, too. I am usually lamed for a few days afterward.
Onto the foot issue: enthesopathy of the plantar fascia. I can't just have plain ol' normal plantar fasciitis, I have to have the more annoying/difficult one to treat. Tried taping the foot, and yeah, that did feel better, but can't keep the foot taped forever. Targeted physio exercises weren't helping either. Saw one podiatrist, and am now wearing 'cushion neutral' shoes. Also, am getting ultrasound shockwave treatment to the heel, itself. Not an entirely pleasant experience, ranging from uncomfortable to painful. I get to go back next week, and the week following.
Onward: I have manage to vertically fracture my back molar... the same molar I had the root canal. The same molar that holds my bridge. *sigh* The back molar and the root splinters/shards have to come out, and I have to have the bridge removed, as the tooth that holds the front of the bridge would get damaged. So, I lose two teeth. The dentist smoothed the sharp edges that was cutting my cheek and tongue, put a temporary patch. When things settle down*, I will go in and sacrifice my bridge. (*aka no more 3+ doctor/physio appointments during the week. When it's just one a week, I will go in to have the deed done.)
Saw counselor. I'm a hot mess, but not as bad a hot mess that I was when we first started. There is something that we discuss, something that keeps circling my thoughts. Good thing my wretched body from the knees down can't comply to those thoughts.
Family is fine, even those in the U.S. I'm pretty safe where I am. W.A. Premier believes in science, isn't ignoring or making the doctors information a political challenge. Bored as all hell, but well.
