Hi Rose and everyone
2:22 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} liz girl.thanx for the pics and email
2:23 am
Lizlin
How did today go? And hugs from me too :)
2:26 am
grannyrose
seemed quite positive. both docs were very kind. they made sure they stayed on the topic of my knee. in the physical exam, i was lying down. couldn't actually see where the surgeon had his hands. he inadvertently pressed his thumb right where the nerve is so sensitive. i actually screamed and burst into tears. as don said, that was a good thing as it showed them just how sore the knee still is.
2:27 am
Lizlin
I agree with Don - that surely can't have been a bad thing! You don't fake a reaction like that! And how's Don's shoulder today?
2:27 am
Lizlin
When will you have to go for the final settlement?
2:28 am
grannyrose
his shoulder seems better. at least the ache from the injection has gone. he was able to drive the car today, no problems.
2:28 am
sprite
good morning darlings :)
2:28 am
Lizlin
Hi and hugs, Sprite
2:29 am
Lizlin
Just here for a few more minutes - going out for dinner then.
2:29 am
sprite
*hugs* to you both, and hi to all the rest ;)
2:29 am
Lizlin
Everyone el4 is getting ready.
2:29 am
grannyrose
liz, the docs have to put their report together, send it to the conciliator who then contacts workcover as to what their responsibilities are. as the surgeon said...i have been through too much. i think he was pretty disgusted.
2:30 am
sprite
sounds good, Liz. And don't worry about the books, I didn't hurry, just checked if they were available and they were.
2:30 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} my darling sprite.
2:30 am
grannyrose
hope you have a lovely evening, liz
2:30 am
sprite
rose, am sorry it was such an ordeal, but glad they took you seriously and were realistic about the situation.
2:30 am
Lizlin
That's absolutely the right reaction. The docs should be disgusted and I hope that they convey that disgust very strongly.
2:30 am
Lizlin
Thanks again, Sprite.
2:31 am
sprite
my pleasure, Liz. Just ask if you need something, it is no bother at all.
2:31 am
Lizlin
I think I've got enough to last a while now!
2:31 am
sprite
lol I should think so ;)
2:32 am
sprite
Rose, it IS disgusting. Especially the way workcover has treated you.
2:35 am
Lizlin
Time for us to leave. Catch you tomorrow perhaps. Hugs.
2:35 am
grannyrose
i also had a pretty severe cramp in the quads doing the movements they were asking me to do. as i said to them, my range of movement is good, i can go up and down stairs. i cannot stand for long periods, i cannot walk on concrete, and i cannot drive for more than about 15 minutes.
2:35 am
sprite
enjoy your dinner, Liz
2:36 am
grannyrose
enjoy, liz
2:36 am
sprite
I am truly glad they realised the severity of your pain
2:38 am
grannyrose
i went in there fully intending to not cry, but as i said to them, by way of an apology, i simply cannot take any extra pain.
2:38 am
sprite
sweetie, I think it is good they saw you cry. I know it sucks and it makes you feel horrible, but they need to see before they can understand or believe.
2:40 am
grannyrose
yeah, i know...don said the same thing. ah, well. that's that hurdle over. i have to acquiesce to whatever they decide. the medical panel decision is final.
2:42 am
grannyrose
i told them, i want on-going physio, and on-going hydro, and i want the pain specialist to treat the pain. they asked why i hadn't been back to see my surgeon. i said it was not the actual bone surgery which is giving me so much pain. it is the damaged nerve. and for that i ne4 a pain specialist.
2:42 am
sprite
something tells me you don't have to worry about the outcome. Sounds to me like they took it seriously and got a realistic sense of your pain.
2:44 am
sprite
yes, that sums it up pretty neatly, ro**. They really need to take responsibility for this.
2:45 am
sprite
is the pain subsiding a bit now?
2:46 am
grannyrose
soooo...it will be a few weeks before i know anything, maybe a month and a half. yes, thanx hin. took an endone and a magnesium on the way home. i couldn't hold off any longer.
2:48 am
sprite
that is what the stuff is for, dear friend. You had to lean heavily on your ability to grind your teeth and ignore the pain, just to get home, as it was.
2:50 am
sprite
try not to worry about the outcome. It is done, the rest is up to the Big Guy.
2:52 am
grannyrose
as i have said before, i will be okay on whatever they decide. i have told the truth, and laid it all on the line. as my lawyer said a blind man can see that you are still suffering.
2:53 am
sprite
yeah. The truth is the truth, and it looks like they saw it clearly this time.
2:56 am
grannyrose
yeah, not like that maggot of a doc who workcover last sent me to see. i realised that he never laid a finger on me....or he would have found just how painful my knee can be.
2:56 am
sprite
what I hate most about those procedures is they absolutely empty you of all energy. The stress, the pain, the uncertainty, the journey... blech.
2:56 am
sprite
that doctor was bought and paid for by your workcover. The asshole.
2:57 am
sprite
"Hey doc, we have another malignerer, can you sort her out?"
"Sure, just send her over, you will get my usual rapport a week later."
2:57 am
grannyrose
i am hoping i will sleep tonight...the pain from yesterday had me awake at 4am.
2:58 am
sprite
ugh :( Maybe you should splurge on a sleeping pill for once. Give your whole system a chance to reset.
2:59 am
grannyrose
double ugh...if i had one. my gp is reluctant to prescribe them for me...
2:59 am
sprite
oh darn it. Can't Don apply for some? *innocent smile*
2:59 am
grannyrose
i am thinking a couple of glasses of red might be the way to go...
3:00 am
sprite
that should work too. Or port. Red port.
3:00 am
grannyrose
sprite....you naughty girl....i'm sure he would oblige...lol
3:01 am
grannyrose
unfortunately port gives me a really bad headache...go figure.
3:01 am
sprite
just massaging the system, grin... I understand where your gp is coming from. But she still doesn't really know you.
3:02 am
sprite
oh man! What a shame. Port is soooo good. But ok, go for the wine. Make sure you sleep, you need it in every way.
3:02 am
grannyrose
hmmmm....massaging the system....just which system are we talking about?
3:02 am
sprite
depends who is doing the massaging
3:03 am
grannyrose
well it ain't going to be, that's for sure....
3:03 am
grannyrose
ugh....to be me....
3:04 am
sprite
can you believe it... Tim managed to oversleep again! Second day of exams. He didn't make it in time now. Guess I better check on him for the rest of the week...
3:04 am
grannyrose
what's going on sprite? is he up late?
3:05 am
sprite
no, not really. He says he set his alarm at 7 and that it didn't go off. I said it prolly went off but he stopped it and slept on.
3:07 am
grannyrose
can he set a second alarm on the clock? or on another device?
3:08 am
grannyrose
the trick is...put the alarm on the other side of the room...that way he has to get out of bed to turn it off.
3:09 am
sprite
yeah he has all that. I hope that he will have a chance to do the exam at some other time... and that this doesn't mean he failed the whole year.
3:09 am
sprite
sweetie, trust me, we have done all that.
3:09 am
grannyrose
ugh,,,,i am so glad that i do not have teens to deal with any more.
3:10 am
sprite
yeah. Can't wait until the terrible teens are over here as well.
3:10 am
grannyrose
oh, my!! how about a bucket of cold water which tips over him when he doesn't get up?
3:11 am
sprite
new babble dictionary word: densor - someone who makes you feel/act stupid
3:11 am
grannyrose
hmmm, looks like a good one.
3:11 am
sprite
hehehe he needs a bed that throws him out, straight into a tub of cold water. Mind you, that would mean he'd be ill-tempered all day long.
3:12 am
grannyrose
tough!! do it!!
3:13 am
sprite
lol. well, most of the time, my pov is that he is old enough to sort this out himself. I have shown him all the tricks. If he doesn't get up in time, it is his problem. But... now with the exams going on... I'll check on him for now.
3:14 am
grannyrose
yeah...i hear you...he has to pass these exams in order to move on...
3:15 am
sprite
move on and move out, lol. But he doesn't want to move out, you know. He plans on staying home during his study. Told him that is fine, but only if he changes his behaviour.
3:15 am
grannyrose
and once he has moved out...equallibrium is restored...
3:16 am
grannyrose
until the girlo's hormones go into rampage...
3:16 am
sprite
it's my girl who wants to move out :( She hopes to go to an international university.
3:17 am
grannyrose
interesting, sprite...where exactly?
3:17 am

nah, that is already happening, rose. She is almost 17. Her teenager tantrums are quite manageable
3:17 am

Can't eat too much until Monday. I had a bonded tooth and part has broken off. Afraid to break more. Can't see the dentist until Monday afternoon.
5:43 am
crosshair
Nice and frosty here as well tis minus 19, but at least there is no wind chill to go with it:)
5:43 am

So, it's oatmeal, fish, soft food... :)
5:44 am
sukee
Lovely, we have freezing fog right now...
5:44 am
crosshair
ouch! I share your pain I have spent the last year going to dentists after being lazy with my dental care for over a decade
5:45 am
sukee
Yes, well I was in Britain until I was 12... enough said :)
5:45 am
crosshair
Ahh the famous British smile, warms the hearts of dentists around the world
5:46 am
sukee
I had avoided the dentist too due to no insurance.
5:46 am
sukee
But I have coverage now and my dentist is so nice, when I didn't have insurance he charged me a nominal fee to fix this bonded tooth before.
5:47 am
crosshair
As did I. Although we enjoy universal health care, the dental community still do a number on us.
5:47 am
sukee
Dentists and vets...
5:48 am
sukee
Going to the gym today, haven't been out for over a week.
5:48 am
crosshair
My dental care team are all very nice as well. I have never met a group of more pleasant people. I think it stems from everyone being terrified to come near you:)
5:48 am
crosshair
My gym is waiting for me outside...it is called a shovel:(
5:50 am
crosshair
Please do not say the word vet... last time I went near one it was a $2000.00 touch after taxes.felt like I had backed into a running chainsaw:(
5:51 am
sukee
Well, yes I can identify.
5:52 am
crosshair
And the pet insurance is a joke... it is a 50 dollar/month premium and it allows you 6 thousand dollars in one year, but the catch is you can only tap into for one bill, no matter what the bill is worth, and you cannot access those funds again till the year rolls over, so it is pretty useless.
5:53 am
crosshair
For example, if your pet bill is 1500, then the rest of the 6k becomes null and void for that period
5:53 am
sukee
And if the pet is diagnosed with something it is not covered next time... I paid pet insurance for a couple of years and it was useless to me.
5:54 am
crosshair
Ahh, so if it is a lingering condition they bump you
5:55 am
crosshair
So damn glad that insurance companies no longer handle our health care(except for when you need out of country blue cross stuff)
6:11 am
sukee
Just noticed that gerund ending...
6:14 am
crosshair
Yes, i saw it as well, but i think only 4 or 5 words go with it, so a waste of a lovely ending
6:15 am

yes, I am finding that.
6:21 am

Well, I now have NBT, and NBS if nothing else today:)

Zoom, you are so lucky no one busted you for your phantom this morning : D
10:30 am
zoozzoom
Yeah I know..how embarressing was that!
10:30 am
MollyL
Not as embarrassing as someone asking this yesterday:
Does anyone have the an6? : D
10:31 am
zoozzoom
Oh yeah bless her ( I known who it was) :-)
10:32 am
zoozzoom
I did chuckle..lol

cybernan
oh my goodness - did I kill the chat?
11:12 am
cybernan
hi zoom
11:15 am
zoozzoom
It seems to go like that, Nan. One minute everyone is chatting...the next everyone seems to be deep into the grid..lol
11:17 am
MollyL
I don't think chat ever gets "killed". I think, as Zoom said, there are just lulls from time to time.

Plenty on dartmoor, though
12:14 pm
zoozzoom

12:14 pm
jaxx7
Did you ever get those lined curtains? I bet you are feeling cold.
12:15 pm
zoozzoom

12:15 pm
zoozzoom
How lazy is that1
12:16 pm
zoozzoom
Yes it is a bit nippy in here..lol
12:16 pm
jaxx7
Buy them on line. then you don't have to go out.
12:17 pm
zoozzoom
Yes I could do. would have to see if they are swish or not..make sure they are the right size..make sure they look okay..oh it is a lot of mucking about..urgh!
12:18 pm
jaxx7
Typical male!
12:18 pm
zoozzoom

12:18 pm
zoozzoom
Joking :-)
12:19 pm
zoozzoom
Or am I :-)
12:19 pm
jaxx7
You could indeed. All round the room then you could imagine you were in a bedoin tent and not on the IoW
12:20 pm
zoozzoom
Oh now that could be an idea!
12:20 pm
zoozzoom
Have you healed up now?
12:20 pm
jaxx7
No draughts anyway.
12:21 pm
zoozzoom
From your scalding and banging your head that is?
12:21 pm
jaxx7
yes, thank you. my hand is much better alhough it does go a unique shade of maroon when it gets cold (the hand, not the weather)
12:22 pm
zoozzoom
Yes I suppose it will be a bit sensitive from the cold for a while.Glad it is much better though.
12:23 pm
jaxx7
Thank you. Are you keeping well?
12:23 pm
zoozzoom
I am plodding along..lol thanks.
12:25 pm
jaxx7
I am finding this grid hard going.
12:26 pm
zoozzoom
Yes there are a few difficult words..or words well hidden should I say.
12:26 pm
jaxx7
Some that are a bit contrived as well, I find
12:27 pm
zoozzoom
That is almost always the case with enable...lol
12:27 pm
jaxx7
It is a little old-fashioned as well
12:28 pm
zoozzoom
Would be nice if it were updated.
12:30 pm
zoozzoom
Okay time for me to get some nutrition inside me..My stomach has decided..lol
12:30 pm
jaxx7
I have 50 left today. I am going to go and feed the grandson - his dying from starvation moans can be heard echoing through the house. lol
12:31 pm
zoozzoom
Nice to see you, Jaxx..Toodle pips!
12:31 pm
zoozzoom
That is two of us who are hungry then..bye for now.
12:31 pm

Toodle pips to you as well. Look after yourself and get those curtains.
