TENS is pretty similar and a lot more sophisticated lol
I tore my hamstring in ‘93 so I am hoping they’ve retired the blasted cryo cuff by now?

I have had TENS before, never heard of The cyro cuff?
I am to go to a neurosurgeon that is a specialist in sports injury on June 2.
hhhmmmm! I bet I will learn about cyro cuff???
I use an exercise ball in front of my desk!

Fantasy- having been wanting to tell you this for days, but just remembered (brain rotted without any drugs
): when I hurt my back I changed the chair in front of the desk to an exercise ball and it seemed to help a bit.

The Cryo Cuff:
some medieval device where they attach electrode pads to your injury, wrap a freezing cold cuff over it and shoot pulses into your muscle for 30 min intervals.
I had to do that for about two years

morphine rots the brain.
I am so bad sometimes I fall asleep with my head on my keyboard.
No, really they have reduced my pain meds. to percocet now that I am over the acute pain.
I am afraid that I at 51 I will be put out of my misery and have to stay home watching grandchildren and knitting.
LOL I do both! hee hee I have 7 of the little grand children running around in different locations, only 2 of them live close.

Yes I love the short stories he wrote too. I wonder now that he is wealthy if he will do much more.
You know his son writes too, I have not read anything by him. He writes under another name.
I forget now…….. a lot of stuff.

at least you got painkillers plural, my sadist specialist only gave me ibu 800s and cryo therapy to help me lower my pain threshold for future performance.
as a result, I could probably have a peaceful sleep on a bed of broken glass

Sorry Fantasy, the Funny One will have to be the last to go, she makes me laugh too much. Stephen King: yes, on the early stuff being the best. He also has a wonderful knack for short stories that I wish he would indulge in more often (like Shawshank Redemption and another about his son’s baseball team, but I don’t remember the name)
Knunk: zombies are naturally mysterious, we’re not always what you think.

I feel really useless sometimes.
Right now I am reading “Cell” by Stephen King. I think it is the only one I have not read. His good books were early on. IMHO

Fantasy-
You probably saw me mention her on my blog. She’s lives a couple hours away, but we talk two to three times a day, so silly. hehe on the ‘one phone call’: can’t imagine it would ever come to that, but I’m sure I’d actually would be ‘the one’!
Have you been able to be up and about at all? Have you run out of reading material? Is everybody taking super good care of you?

Nice!
It’s actually a really pretty rain, it’s hitting the leaves of the trees on my block and the sound is really calming and drowns out the cars but it’s also the kind of rain where you can’t avoid getting wet lol.
all of my windows are open and I am enjoying it from inside.
Warm weather would be nice though

I’m back- big happenings at my sister’s work. They finally arrested the suspects in a million dollar (forgot the correct word, perhaps starts with an ‘e’) credit theft scheme. It’s been a year and a half since they realized it had happened, seems a long time to investigate. Not like on TV, where it’s all wrapped up in an hour.
Why is Mr. Fantasy being spoon-fed? Did he wear himself out shaking out the throw rugs?

Good Morning Amy!
She is the sweetest, nicest thing ever. A mix with a lot of German Shepard, maybe with some Sheltie or something though, because she has a bit of a collie look to her, too, and is only about 40 lbs. I am in ♥ !

hee-hee, fantasy - you’ll be wanting in with amy, ‘glo, cb, wade and the rest of the crew, soon. maybe it was all those links rb and mishee posted
I don’t have terribly high housekeeping standards. I wish I were a bit more anal about it, cos’ everyone likes a clean house, but, oh well.
So saying, I better continue my search for the ball of twine I use about once a month for recycling (where the f**k is it!).
Going to hook into real life, fantasy. Nice to chat - you’re always so breezy.
See ya’ hon, and say gooodnight to Mr. fantasy, too ♥ ♥

I have unexpectedly had to lower my clean house standards, surprisingly I don’t mind as much as I thought I would. I kind of feel that maybe it is nice once in a while to get laid up.
Maybe I have lowered all my standards! I can’t beleive I said that. Not working might be good for me!

He might have had a day trip if he was up so early.
I need to see things to use them - the result is that everything is on display and terribly messy. If I put it away, though, I can’t see it, and I don’t use it.
Oh, I found the washing bag
May 18, 2008 at 12:16 am
Comment #50538
No-one was here. He just popped in in a quiet time. But it was your morning (unusual for Crash). Maybe about five minutes after he popped in someone came in, I think they had to leave, too, cos’ there was no-one to chat to (I wasn’t lurking, this is backreading
), but he’d left.
I think he was joking. I hope so

Rose, who was here when crash said he wasn’t wanted?
I have not talked to him since the night before last I think. That is odd, he has not been around. I put some stuff on his bloglog and gwenn too, but have not heard back! hhhmmm….
May 18, 2008 at 12:13 am
Comment #50535
It’s good that you are in the field, Fantasy. Am looking forward to your speedy recovery. You have a good attitude, too, so that will help.
Things that disappear when you need them (or beforehand, probably):
washing bags,
hats,
sunglasses,
gloves
I can find my gardening gloves at them moment, but I don’t need them, that’s why. As for the washing bag…
And from a long ago asked question, RB, I’m not much of a gardener, but I like putting things in pots and seeing them flower. Sometimes they survive, sometimes they don’t.
Do you think Crash was serious yesterday/this morning about not being wanted? Come into the hall, ♥ Crash ♥ . We’re waiting for you.

It was last year, fantasy.
It is funny, isn’t it? Sometimes I don’t think I’m in another country at all. My folks say ‘oh such and such has happened’ and I already know. I tell my friends about events happening in Perth.
They’ve gone country now, so if you like that kind of stuff. It is a really mixed programme - sometimes world music, country, jazz, blues, dance, trance, etc.
How are you doing my sweet?

ah, wade - I should have got that! travel safe, sleep well, for the umpteenth time, as ‘glo said before.
hi ♥ fantasy ♥ I’m cleaning and posting and musing.
The earthquake this way was quite serious. We were fine, but closer to the epicentre(?) people lost homes, the trainline buckled, the main road collapsed, etc.

i was referring to stealthy mybloglog avatars that look like the bastard child of a pizza and a parasol
(weak attempt at humor)
i remember (barely) small earthquakes in california. they are unsettling in their suddenness, and in the sensory betrayal of solid ground moving and buckling.
i would dearly love to stay and chat, rose, but i need to start moving toward bed. hope you have a lovely balance of the day. i may poke my head in before i leave tomorrow… depends on how the morning goes.

*oh, right… back in the pre-demonic mushroom days * - are you referring to disappearing blog entries? Or your own? :quizzical:
I know Australia is geographically very safe (and arid and infertile) - just opening up a conversational gambit
Bushfires are a huge problem.
No, I listen to a Perth radio station via the internets
http://www.rtrfm.com.au
I love the programme that is on right now: Sunday morning coming down.
After the big earthquake up here last year, I very seriously wanted to go back. I kept my down jacket in the shoe cupboard (which is right by the door) after that in case a big one (earthquake) struck - it took me a month to find the jacket again once winter rolled around

Comment #50524
Well, wade, maybe you can strike up conversation with one of those elbow co-commuters you wrote about.
Could be preparing them (helicopters) for that. I don’t follow the news much here (as in local news) - I might do a search.
In terms of natural disasters, I have to say Australia is one of the safest places (drought and ozone hole depletion aside). I’m not sure if this is because of scarcity of population (so when the cyclone hits, there are few people in its way), or just the way it is (the safety factor).
I did blog on the ‘malfunction’ before, but that was the first version of the blog which has gone into the ether… My mother never said, make sure you have clean underwear in case you get hit by a car, so that you won’t be shamed at the hospital - but it still crosses my mind - hee-hee.
The radio is playing covers of Tom Waits songs.

hee-hee - I was going to go for 2k today, but soon lost interest in the notion.
I reread my first post, and that lap reference was hiding, I swear.
I did forget my underwear, though! (bottoms) That’s only a problem once you’ve got out of the pool and are changing into everyday wear of course…or maybe not. It’s the lesser of two evils (forgetting the top half
)
One of my daisies is flowering, so that might be my riveting photograph today.
On Morning Glories, ‘glo’s post, they are beautiful, but a real pest in Australia. They take over everything. Maybe it is never cold enough for them to die off.
I see david popped his head back in. I wonder if sarah (was that her name?) will pay us a visit too?
Own electrical outlet still doesn’t give you the internets, though, right?
Oh, and I did my laps.
And you’re not running through the laundry, right?
Why not, rabbit on…we’re near the defense/defence(?) forces here. They’ve been flying their helicopters for the last two days. Training, I guess.
