I'm up to date but not caught up...
let's remedy that...

SO glad you're okay!!
I'm late to the party, so you've already received lots of good advice.

Have heard the current mutation is a sneaky MFer... glad you're testing!!
Weaselstan!!

Had to read that twice... first time - thought you meant it was a gag phone HAHA

I would go to see them play.
Prolly at some dive bar over near @Wonderer67 's stomping grounds

Do you have to go donate blood when that happens?
A family friend with Hemochromatosis (or Iron Overload) had to do that for years.

Did you ever get your wallet back?
Did your sister manage to make it from her house to your house with her head attached?

I realize my automotive and mechanical knowledge is limited... but this doesn't look like an accident.
I think your tyre/tire... was murdered!

So glad you're okay!
Potholes can sure be expensive! Grr

Dr. Likes suggests warm drinks with a touch of honey... avoid anything acidic (like OJ)... and maybe some hard candies or throat lozenges Anything to stop that cough, right?
Hope it resolves soon and the rest of your recovery goes smoothly!!

Actually... it's SOP for the human brain...
Not marriage related
Not gender related
However YMMV applies

The gist:
The brain is focused on execution and sequencing of actions to interact with the environment effectively.

When you hear a negated statement (e.g., "Don't touch the stove"), your brain initially imagines the positive action ("touching the stove") and then has to deliberately suppress or reverse that idea. This extra "reversal process" takes more time and cognitive effort compared to processing an affirmative statement ("Touch the handle").

Maybe the affirmative statement is causing her to overcorrect, thus missing the pothole?

Or I could be full of and

Oooh... new nickname just dropped

Same - but my weather is like Skim Milk compared to your Whole Milk

Win Column!
Now if only we could go for a spin without risking life and limb

Now that's an oxymoron!!

A @likes2watchU update for the ages… some classic shit and advice here…

Btw- my daughter informed me that these are called “millennial dots…”

(it’s how the whole generation d/degeneration convo started. )

The UK is now the pothole capital of the world. Official.

Wow!

Wondering the source.

 

[Wonderer67]

Wife did that once. It was the carcass on the road I had been avoiding all week. Ont trip to town she had a flat.

Her: "I don't know what I hit"
Me: (while plugging tire) "I do".

She is the most amazing woman I've ever met. However she's not good at avoiding road hazards. Take the good with the bad, I guess...

We're to the point we can laugh about her inability to dodge anything on the road.

That’s true love!

And I mean that.

Ah… the ol mobile crematorium! (Aka the pinto)

 

[Wonderer67]

What a week.

I feel like I earned my paycheck. I usually do. Maybe I feel like they worked me like a rented mule.

I fell asleep at 8 and woke up at 1030.

—————

Mrs wonderer is everything I am not when driving: kind, patient… I guess I am too… I just hate all other drivers.

She taught me the the art of fellowship on the road.
———
Tons to do this tomorrow. Picking up a trailer, then cleaning out all of our pumpkins for pumpkin smooshing and shooting over Christmas or for deer bait.

Shotgun season starts next week. Then muzzleloader. (Can’t use rifles in NJ)

Then I gotta help a friend cut up and move a tree.

I gotta do some Christmas shopping
Take care of a few lingering chores

 

[Lilianna23]

Be cautious hun. The muscles usually tighten up from impact overnight. Let us know how you are ASAP! We love you!!!

I'm doing OK today. ️

 

[Lilianna23]

It was bright this am and looking great. Lights up the night sky, or should I say moring sky?

As usual, our Washington weather has obscured moon sightings for this week. It's a supermoon, too.

 

[Lilianna23]

Too much is not enough!

Too much iron is dangerous.

 

[Lilianna23]

Sorry to hear about the fender bender.

Hopefully it’s not anything… hopefully you exchanged DL, and insurance info just in case.

I got her insurance info. Talked with her mom already.

 

[Lilianna23]

I really don't think he's all that grumbly. Just sayin' . . . .

No, he's not. He's a nice guy.

 

[Lilianna23]

I have a DR appointment next week, I'll let her look first. We've been exchanging messages, and I know she peeked at the results. Ferritin is high again. Long story, DM if you want the nitty gritty...

Do you get the blood letting?

 

[Missk_2022]

I used to use regular blend. I’m not afraid of any grit.

I figure it cleans out my insides…

Broccoli will too...thats why it looks like green toilet brushes

 

[Missk_2022]

I bet he had a giant turquoise belt buckle!

And a skull ring... and wore his shirts buttoned down low....

 

[Wonderer67]

Or little trees…

They’ll clean yaz out.

I am pro-fiber!

This is SO me!

 

[Missk_2022]

Ok maybe not…

Go slow and easy….

Apparently pain worse 2 or 3 days after surgery.... and the 10 lb weight gain is temporary
We will see

It is

And

It is.

I had it done abt 15 years ago. I was having all kinds of digestive issues at the time. You do have to go easy for a few days. But you’ll be yourself in 7-10 days.

 

[Lilianna23]

Well i am up....
Took pain meds...
Got my ice pack... the area around my belly button is SORE. Well the whole abdomen is a bit ouchie
My back and shoulder are sore from the c02 gs tgey use to inflate to get the job done
Gonna get dressed jn my velour track suit ....it is so soft on the outside and inside.
My sister forgot to give me my wallet so she has to bring it over tonight.....

You're a brave soul! There's only one of my sisters I would trust with my wallet!

I'm glad you're getting up and dressed. Walking a bit in the house will be good for you. Until that gas gets absorbed, you're gonna feel a bit tender.

No she was too tired after work and dinner... she is coming tomorrow...ugh

 

[Lilianna23]

Think I am more sore today... standing up straight is an adventue... but i make myself do it..... that and i am hiccuping a lot and it sends jabs of pain to my shoulder

You will be more sore today and tomorrow. By the 3rd POD, you should start feeling better. The gas and edema will start dissipating.

 

[Lilianna23]

@Lilianna23 hope there is no hidden damage when it’s checked out. The important thing is you are okay so it’s hugs from me.

Thank you, G! I feel OK today.

 

[Missk_2022]

Coughing is the WORST!... I remember it after my hernia surgeries...

Hiccups are weird too makes my shoulder hurt... i need to stop whining... there are a lot of others that have worse pain than i do... and i can walk around and take care of myself

 

[Lilianna23]

Excellent shot!
I'm glad you're OK after the wreck and hopefully the other girl is too!

Thank you, Boat! She said she was OK. Her mom did, too, when I talked with her.

 

[Lilianna23]

And talking of damage I hit a pothole in the storm that’s hitting us …burst a tyre and just managed to limp the car home… hoping it’s only the tyre!

Oh, no! How far did you have to drive on it? I hope it didn't damage the rim!
