I broke my top two front teeth off slipping on ice when I was in 7th grade. I was in line fro 4-square

Ouch! I bet that hurt! Used to love playing 4 square!

Maybe a heating pad, some ibuprofen and a stiff shot of an adult drink would help.

Ice for the first 24 to 48 hours and then alternate ice with heat

@Treerooted Ouch! This is one of the things I hate most about cold weather - it seems much more likely that I'll do something like that, and then it seems to take so much longer to recover. Hope you're feeling better soon.

It's funny - I can remember getting all kinds of advice over the years as to what you put ice on, what you put heat on, and when. I have always kinda ignored advice about ice, because for me, putting ice on frequently hurt worse than the original injury. Maybe I'm not alone in that; the last time I had a kid with a nasty bruise or sprain or whatever, the advice was, "elevate, and apply heat and/or cold; whatever feels better."

I am with you on the ice!

I get much more out of using heat. Sometimes heat can cause swelling and that than hurt a nerve. like you said though, if you are in tune to your body, It will tell you what you need

We always went by RICE for the first 24-48 hours. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

Good morning all.

Glad to hear that the cleanup is progressing Friday. I remember driving into New Orleans 2 years after Katrina hit. Still had the debris piled up everywhere. The only thing open was home depot, Lowe's and car dealerships. I was shocked at how slow the progress was. It sounds like Cudjoe is already on a great road to recovery in comparison.

Are most of the residents still there or have many left the area?

Being a tourist, I'm not really sure. I think everyone that could come back, did come back and are working on clean up. Lots of second homes here and you can tell who hasn't been back to start repairs.

Thanks for the concern folks , it's really not too bad. But the pain has very distinctly moved from the side to the back, which is interesting. I think my heating pad may still be out in the shop from when I used it as part of a MHP brooder .

Just taking a sit-down while the little one naps for a bit. Tea and butter-tarts now in the cafe

Tea sounds nice. Hope the side/back feels better soon!

what is four square???

It is a kids game where a large square is either painted or chalked on blacktop. It is divided in four equal squares, labelled A, B,C, D. The person in square A serves the ball to any person. They have one bounce it hit the ball into another square. If you hit it out of the squares you are out. Any way, the object is to get to the A square.
