Hi Spacelings - I am zooming through life with the afterburners all the way open - just thought I would zoom through and say hello!

Starry - sorry to hear that. I spent many years coordinating volunteers for the Saint Vincent DePaul Society here, working with homeless and low income families. It was always a zoo and you never knew who was going to go off the rails about what - from the board, to the volunteer to coordinators, to the volunteers and the families. I learned if the situation gets untenable to just let it go and keep rolling. Typical of many charity boards, they're relatively spineless and will set rules - and then never back up the volunteers they told to enforce the rules. You just keep rolling and do what you know is right and if the organization gets screwy, just walk away and keep volunteering with another organization that is not as screwy.

Morning all.

Off to the dentist at 9 to finish up my root canal . But it is also pouring rain, so I'm not sure if I should go or cancel. I have an hour to decide.....

 

[MessierObject]

Good morning all,

It's going to be a coffee on IV drip kind of day.

Catching up from the weekend, glad to see we have some fellow veterans.

Starry, thank you for all that you do for service members and veterans. Anyone who not only volunteers to help us salty Marines, but goes back for more is awesome in my book. Don't let some yahoos take anything away from that. Folks like you make a big difference and the impact can be a lifelong one. Keep on rockin!

Morning Spacers

Thanks guys. I decided that a clean break like the team voted for is the right thing. Paul you are so right. Spineless is the right word. This news of even pulling me off working with my big big boss' family on the calls is gonna shake her and a few others up but.... Those are the same people who didn't call to ask if I was OK after anything I reported from up there. Or step in to help when I needed it.

It's ortho day here. So I'm waiting for my turn in to do the horse and pony show on what I can and can't do still with the new shoulder parts at 12 weeks out from surgery.

 

[Paul_Chance]

Good morning Spacelings!

Can anyone arrange an air-drop of coffee for me? LOL - it is one of those days.

Starry - good luck with the PT!

Hope everyone is having a good day so far, or as good as it can be. I am running in circles right now, but I am getting really good at it.

This Doc is Navy & did the black box jobs on both my shoulders.

Here's the news:
Where I am good, I am really good & where I am bad... I am still better then they expected. They are still concerned about the continued pain escalating with my activity levels but with as much work as he did this time it's to be expected. When I am good/ grounded at home I'm on only 2 pain meds a day. With driving, walking , anything that moves the shoulder then the meds go up. BUT I am still on MUCH lower amounts & kinds of meds then other normal people with a file like mine. So I may look strange but the KT Tape, acupuncture needles & cupping all help.

That's good to hear!

yep. He'd not seen me without my PTSD needles in my ear in a long time.
It wore out on Sunday's hair washing. It will get replaced tomorrow.
My needle Doc is a Marine. So I'll be taken care of ASAP.

How's your day? Still playing Nascar driving in circles???

That is great news Starry; you are Superwoman in my book!

Not even close. People don't mess with her. I get messed with all the time.
I need a big guy to be a body guard & stand behind me with his arms
crossed & growl so people leave me alone.

How'd the dentist go today???

I still think you are badass, and the fact that you don't take anyone's crap is a huge inspiration.

I am done with the dentist for now! Go back in 3 months for a checkup, and to discuss my options. I need at least 3 crowns, and to replace some missing teeth, but I am good now

Thanks Honey but I'm not too badass. Dentists scare the crap out of me.

The not taking crap comes from almost 10 years of working for Uncle Bill Gates and about 15 of doing support work with mainly First Responders who are Special Forces. Please note I am NOT allowed guns, drones, calling air strikes, banned from cooking, boats & bath tubs (since I cant get out alone). <sigh> narrows down the fun factor but no one likes to scrape me off the ground.

Well, I still think you are a badass, and I would want you on my team during the zombie apocalypse, or when I have to deal with a medical emergency

OOOO just so you know I don't handle slackers or bullies well.
I might have to make sure you are taken care of if they try to put you in a padded room
