5:18 am
rubyfoo
Now l'm waiting for the nurse and my dreadul shots
5:24 am
MollyL
Ruby, do ice packs help after the shots?
5:25 am
rubyfoo
l'll try that. For the moment, Michele applied benzocainee patches, but, unfortunately, it's not the surfact pain that is the problel.
5:25 am
rubyfoo
lt's the next two minutes as the pain goes down my thigh
5:26 am
MollyL
Yes, shots go into muscle. Maybe ice for the first 24 and a heating pad after. Heating pads always make me feel better.
5:31 am
rubyfoo
l don't know. l don't mind shotts in general and l'lm used to pain, but l'm being very whiny about this one. Hopefully, it will start to work
5:32 am
rubyfoo
in which case, the pain will be unimportant
5:34 am
rubyfoo
Actually, aside from being freezing, even with all my many layers of wool, synthettics and all, l feel OK and optimistic
5:34 am

rubyfoo
Now, if only my big dog could sit on my lap and cuddle, that would be terrific! He's so big that l could almost sit on his lap
5:36 am
MollyL
I'm glad you have a lot of good people in your corner Ruby. That is comforting.
5:40 am
rubyfoo
The nurrse took care of my husband when he was serioussly bittten by a beauceron. Andd that precipitated (sp?) his decline. lt's funny, l'm thinking in French and translatingg into English nthis morning.
5:41 am

Since you mentioned which people constantly ask for clues, l find it amusing to Watch.
6:11 am

The garden is different every year. Flowering plants comee and go and many of my original choices didn't "take" as it's my first garden
7:45 am
rubyfoo
and it was all theoretical
7:46 am
Deeha
