Nope - no metal in my back. It mostly healed on it's own, though one of the bones (L-1 "short rib" [transverse process for you medical types

]) was separated too far to grow back together. The doctor told me they could do surgery and put a pin in it, but he figured it was 50-50 whether I would be better or worse afterwards. I was 26 at the time and it didn't feel that bad so I declined. So I have a piece of bone "floating" in my back now. I mostly experience muscle pain since they were pretty torn up and I have a lot of scar tissue in them. Whenever I get a massage, the masseuse will always comment on how strange that feels (you're tellin' me!).

BTW I agree Aubrey the crying comment is very creepy!

I'm really dying to hear what you said to that one creep!!!

Course some weirdos get off on any reaction.

I've made that mistake.

I know about scar tissue. I agree 50-50 odds don't sound like a good reason to go under the knife.

I'm convinced that the more you can avoid doctors, the healthier you'll be.

(There's a reason we get a lot of medical malpractice cases, you know. You only get to hear about the ones that go public. There's an awful lot of cruddy docs out there still practicing because part of the settlement was "no disclosure" to anyone...even the licensing boards which regulate which doctors are incompetent. I've sat in on at least three depos where the doctors just flat-out killed the patient. Grisley to the max.) (The upside, though, is at least I get to find out which doctors I'm NEVER going to!)

I've got a trigger thumb that I'm dealing with. It's locked open. (Hey, it could've been my middle finger, so I'm not complaining that I have a perpetual "Thumbs up!") Thus far I've done two rounds of steroid injections and the third will be my last...and then I have to figure out if I want to undergo surgery on it. At present, I can still write on my steno machine and type because the thumb doesn't need bending movement to stroke the keys, but it's the little things, like turning a car ignition key or picking up change that when you haven't got right thumb movement you really notice. Apparently in the procedure they "shave" the tendon so it moves through the pulleys that are digit joints more easily...I've got a knot of scar tissue or massive inflammation or some such there now. My fear, though, is the dreaded "What if?" I mean, could I totally live without a right thumb? I'm sort of feeling like an ostrich with my head in the sand at times.... But I know that ignoring it won't make it disappear.

You are not abnormal. It sounds like you're blessed with an abundance of energy. And there's a reason why YOUNG people have kids. Old folks aren't going to run after them for too much or too long. ("Oh, just go play in the street. I'll catch up.") I look back on when I was in my 30's...I ran (operated and maintained) a stud farm, rode horses, did landscaping, farmed, had a poultry business, was on a college advisory board, belonged to a whole lot of clubs and organizations, kept house (cleaning and cooking) AND worked. (I only slowed down after a few unscheduled dismounts convinced me I didn't bounce as well as I used to). Right now I'm wondering what kind of vitamins I was taking back then because I'd sure like a stockpile of them now.

Owwww.... What a physical misadventure. How do you handle the winters? Can you predict the weather? That's the only benefit (?!) I find with fractures.....

Tomorrow at noon is the 3rd Annual New Year's Day Hatch setting time. Ladies and gentlemen, start your incubators!

(At present, my eggs are in storage in the casita with the thermostat set to 52 degrees. I'm out there a couple of times a day levitating carton corners. DH is amused that I'm making our guests SO comfortable...)

A lot of times the drivers didn't speak very good English and it was really fun to just go with it and REALLY screw with em.

Oh I know!!! Now a 2 hour trip to the park with one of the grandkids and I am so frig-gin pooped! My problem is I am still hyper but the old body won't keep up with what the brain still wants to do.

I still have sooooo much I want to do all the time. Maybe I should take up the caffiene habit. I've never been a coffee drinker and even like my tea super weak but I don't think that has anything to do with the caffiene content, just overactive tastebuds. Caffiene has no taste on it's own so I just need to find a coffee that is super smooth and I'll be all set. Caffiene addiction here I come!!!

*um for those of you that have never seen me hyped up on caffiene you should all be wide-eyed with horror about now*

Lack of language skills or not this is always fun!!! Wait, wait! There are still those out there that think I am a nice person... and I am for the most part but I'm afraid there is an ugly side to Sunny that is often just hoping for an excuse, any excuse, to let loose on some poor unsuspecting soul and my requirements for letting some poor slob have it are few. So lets just say that I behave as long as they behave but if they aren't smart enough to behave.... well, a gal's gotta blow off steam sometime. Right?

Oh, I learned to never blow up at flashers though. They love it! It's super creepy!!!!! The best thing to do with them is to ignore them and pretend they aren't there, and if it's too late for that just point and laugh. Takes the wind right outta their sail.

It's possible but not likely since the large hatcheries cannot afford to cull heavily for DQs.
