nh's big book of Dr. visits.

[Netzach]

My body is betraying me!! I need some advice here. Sir W! Homburg! Netz! Somebody!

Our life has been lacking in the S&M department in the last few weeks because of Dr's appts etc. So the night before last Master said that I could have the cane. We have at least a week before my next appt, so we figured plenty of time for bruises to fade.

He used a medium weight cane, the one we use the majority of the time. He went with the same intensity as usual. I bruise easily, I'm sure Sir W remembers, I missed a caning from him because of my damn skin Anyway it's normal for me to get dark bruises at once.

However this time I have huge raised, blood filled hematoma's. I have several and one of them has broken open and bled. Now I've been caned to blood before but it was with a thin cane that broke the skin. The thicker one has never broken the skin.

So help! WTF is going on? I don't want to have to stop caning too.

Totally weird. What meds are you on? You're on pred you said?

This may be a game changer, how much are you on? It mentions wounds in the insert, you can get more sun sensitive and I did feel more delicate and stretched on it, if that makes sense. Do you have any cushing's symptoms? I don't think you're on enough of it to necessarily make that much diff. though --

It will make wounds more woundlike.

The advil/aleve whatever is another culprit, as was brought up.

I'm done with the pred. I finished it last week. So it could be a lasting effect from that I would imagine, or the advil one. Guess I'm just going to have to take the playing easy for a few more weeks at least.

Thuddier stuff likely won't have *quite* the same effects... things that spread out the impact.

And there are other things, too -- non-impact things -- that could perhaps serve as a substitute. Pain comes in many colors, and not all of them are black and blue and purple.

Yep I do adore that cane though...*sighs*

Just think how much more you'll adore it when you've been deprived of it for a month or two. Or six.

[MasDom]

You're a good guy, and you have nothing to apologise for here.

I appreciate that.

I just feel off lately, as if its still a little hard to connect with everything.
Kind of like how we say we would deal with things before they happen. Although when they happen the points of view are all different.
Worlds a little more real as it comes to pass.

I'm just glad there are nice people like you to talk too so we don't feel alone in all this.

Just too easy to want to stay trapped away right now.

By all indications, you are doing everything spot on excellent.

Life hits you with shit like this, and sometimes all you can do is dance to the tune being played. It really sucks, but this is when you learn about what kind of character people really have.

And you're bearing up like a man and taking care of business. There ain't a much higher compliment in my book.

*Nods* Not much more a man can do then face life as it comes. Thank you.

I'm sad today. A friend was upset and I don't think I had the right words to help him. I wish I could articulate my thoughts better, or speak to people like Master does.

I actually think you articulate very well, so don't beat yourself up.

Thinking of you.

Minx also had her procedure yesterday, so I was wondering if she's let anyone know how she's doing..

I wish I could lie but I can't......

I know I will get a hard time for this...but I didn't go. I put it off again (a week...so its after my interview)

I know i need to go, its just I some other stuff bothering me and I'm not sure which to deal with first and I can't deal with them both at once. I have a doc appointment early next week to get his advice as to which is the priority lol
I am feeling really out on a limb...I mean being away from family and friends. I need to feel strong to do it, incase it doesnt'go well, because I am on my own and at the minute I just don't feel that way.

Promise to get a grip and do it next week.


See nh...I told you, you were strong!

Next week for sure though? I'd be there to hold your hand if I could. I will tell you that not knowing is way worse than knowing.

So I'm home from work right now...and why am I home from work? Didn't I tell you guys about my luck? I totaled my car this morning on the way there. I stood on the side of the road for two hours waiting for the tow truck and my mom to pick me up. My car is fucked. It busted the radiator, and the gas tank, and pulled the whole front bumper off. I'm sure they are going to total it out. It appears I broke the frame, but I'm not sure yet. Luckily no one else was involved. I was going down a hill into a turn and slid. My car spun around twice and I went into a culvert with huge rocks and hit a huge fence. The rocks are actually what tore up my radiator and gas tank.

So I'm waiting on enterprise to come pick me up so I can get my rental.

I wasn't hurt except for a big knot on the right side of my head. I'm not sure if I hit the window, or the roof, or what. So aside from a massive headache I'm peachy.

Oh, dear, I'm sorry!

When it rains it pours. But after there are rainbows and kittens and bunnies. Well at least rainbows.

I'm just so glad to hear you're OK. A car's a car, but nh is nh!!! Irreplaceable.

If there is anything I can do to help let me know. I guess if you were in the Chicago area I could give you my El pass.

Stay safe. The rest of the day will fly by and then you'll be home.

Thinking of you,
Dave

Any time, man. nh has my contact info. Feel free to use it whenever you'd like.

And that thing that ZRT said? I agree.

DiscusDave was spot on, and said something that I tell a LOT of people when I handle their accidents - Cars are replaceable. People are not.

You are lucky. Don't deny it. You took your car off road, out of control, fucked it up solidly, sure, but you walked away. Luck has nothing to do with the car accident. Those are controllable factors or mere happenstance. Luck is the part where you get hurt, or it goes easy on you.

Take care with a knot on your head though. You're a nurse, I won't nag you any more about head injuries.

From a professional standpoint though, going off-roads into heavy rocks and whacking the shit out of your undercarriage usually totals a car. The damage is both pervasive and subtle, and it is coming from a different direction (underneath) than the car is designed to absorb impact from. This is another reason why I call you lucky, as your restraint systems aren't designed to deal with undercarriage impact, spinning, or the sort of rocking that usually accompanies these kind of upset.

Be happy that you can look out the window and see sunshine.

*hugs*

And, if you want, I'll give you whatever advice I can on dealing with the insurance claim side of things. PM me.

Thank you. I am very lucky that I'm ok. I want rainbows, bunnies, and kittens dammit!

Like I told Dave I realize I'm lucky. I wasn't wearing my seat belt. And even though I had major damage to the front end my airbag didn't deploy. Which seeing how I'm only a little over five foot tall is a good thing. I'm always terrified that damn thing is going to take my head off.

The back end of my car was what hit the fence. It was a lifetime electric fence for livestock. And let me tell you if anyone needs a fence those are the ones to get. The wire didn't break, it went completely went through the back of my car and into the trunk. If that makes sense. Think of a wire going through cheese. We had to pull the wire out of my car.

I have progressive, I've had them for the last ten years. I've heard they aren't a good insurance company, but I've never had any trouble. Full coverage of course. However I still owe a good bit on my car so I hope I don't get screwed.
