I picked it maybe 2 days early, just out of excitement. So I'll put it in the window. (Don't my eyelashes look spiky? LOL) I had my last day of physical therapy, and I'm happy to say that there's SOME improvement in my thumb. There are things that don't hurt anymore, yet there are still things that do. I go back to the Dr thursday to see what he says. But this is good! Monday I meet with my lawyers, to maybe make them officially MY lawyers, to talk about stuff, and decide if this is worth pursuing. I'm so curious about it. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. So I will listen and give them 100% undivided attention. I also go back to the Dr for my leg Monday morning. I've been icing it, and parts of it are very unhappy. But this was a honkin' bruise, so I don't expect it to go away quickly. In fact, the blood spread just like he said, and now I have a new look - by the end of the day, I have no left ankle. ... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/511/All_Sorts_of_Updates Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:05:07 -0000 Oucha-magoucha Well, to please all the clients today who took one look at me gimping along and the now 14-inch bruise on my leg, I went to the Dr at their request. The Dr walked in to the room, said hello to me, then took a look at my leg and said "Holy cow.... oh man that looks terrible..." So, I told him what had happened, and he couldn't stop sucking in air thru his teeth and saying he couldn't believe how big and bad it looked, and how I really did a number on my leg. To which I had to reply, "Well, I go for effect" LOL So, I had to get a tetanus shot. Now my damn arm is sore! On top of both my legs, and of course, the thumb. What freakin mirror did I break???? Looks like 39 does NOT want to let me go gently. What a way to celebrate the month, right?? So I'm told to take ibuprofin and elevate my legs and ice them as much as I can, and keep an eye on them, if swelling gets out of hand, or if it becomes hardened, which could be very bad. I can go to work, but I'm told to sit as often as I can. I'll... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/510/Oucha-magoucha Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:30:03 -0000 Fall Down, Go Boom Yesterday, Diane and I spent time on Mary and Shawn's pontoon boat. It was a blast! We had some wine, and suntanned, and got thrown around on the tube. Here's some pics and stuff: <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHuW5AoKCooAAFDvExw1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHuW5AoKCooAAFDvExw1/001.JPG?et=ps3ISU0xfcP2sXauuyHmFA&nmid=0" border="0"></a> <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHuW9woKCooAAEhrEh41"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHuW9woKCooAAEhrEh41/004.JPG?et=IGEQqzYBhN0TtOSwtfcfQg&nmid=0" border="0"></a> Diane shot a video for a few seconds of Mary and I on the tube. I never told her how to use the camera - so she figured it out on her own <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHub3QoKCooAAHKUbv01"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHub3QoKCooAAHKUbv01/012.JPG?et=3ImViQCHy%2BQzOcfBieMhmg&nmid=0" border="0"></a>  That's Mary going "diapering".

That's the inside of my left leg. Here's the outside of it - obviously the inside got the worst of it! <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHuaxQoKCooAAA1pOOU1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHuaxQoKCooAAA1pOOU1/294999280_1001959390_0.jpg?et=q48gOBfGqWMHravfW83YMg&nmid=0" border="0"></a> While that happened, I came banging down on the doc... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/509/Fall_Down_Go_Boom Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:30:36 -0000 Thanks Everybody Thanks to everyone who commented on my last blog. I went back and read every comment thoroughly a few times. Trust me, I don't skim over shit that people write - I take it in. It's just a thumb - but it's my livelyhood. I'm just pushing along the best way I know how to. I've started to bond greatly with Diane - my neighbor 2 doors away. She's very cool and we've let out a few personal things to each other. We had a few glasses of wine and sat out on her back patio space and it was really awesome. I had taken care of her cats for a few nights while she and her kids went away on vaca, and she got me a really pretty sun windchime. I'll have to snap a shot of it. But that made me feel good. Earlier last night, my friend Rosary took me out to dinner for the bday. Then we hit the mall to walk it off. I resisted everywhere and didn't buy a thing! I was so proud. I'll buy stuff for after I heal. After having a very long and painful workday, it was nice to be with 2 very nice people.

This happens every time I ice my thumb. Figures. It must just be the cold temp. it itches like mad for maybe 15 minutes, then the lumps go away in about an hour. PRETTY.... Today Pam the physical therapist told me she was baffled by the thumb, so she went and talked to a hand therapist. After explaining to her my symptoms, the hand therapist seemed to think there might be a fractured scaphoid that maybe the xray didn't show, which can happen. LOVELY.

Plus it was red white and blue, for Memorial Day, so I had to get it. <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHENpwoKCooAADrnqg01"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHENpwoKCooAADrnqg01/001.JPG?et=%2CC5moy898s1fG9ZF%2BTLvog&nmid=0" border="0"></a> When I got to the register, it rang up $30. Ouch! But, I wanted it, so I sucked it up and bought it. WELL.... some little sparrow thinks it can make it it's home! On the 4th, I saw him fly outta there, and I thought, 'oh no, he's gonna make a nest in there.' Yep! I cleared out all the twigs and grass and voila. <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHEN-QoKCooAADL7Lsc1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHEN-QoKCooAADL7Lsc1/002.JPG?et=K1VZPU25Na3y3aIsxz9ZzQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a> He made himself a perfect little hole to live in. Fuck that! I live in the woods - there's a million other trees and bushes to build a nest in. So, once the plant dies, I'll hang it in the back and he can live in it then. But not now, when it's the only plant I have that's actually living in all this rainy/no-sun weather. I paid $30 for this thing - get the fuck out! http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/506/Sabotage Sun, 6 Jul 2008 18:27:57 -0000 Independance Day No, not the movie. July 4th was an ok day. 1st off, Happy Birthday Di!! I hope your birthday was turtle-icious. My nextdoor neighbor Laura shares her bday with you! I finally finished going thru my summer clothing bin and found some good finds in there! Then my buddy Sean came over and brought booze and his grill and we hung out with the  neighbors for some noise. Someone set up a drum set, my neighbor Dan pulled out his bass, someone else had a guitar, and it was a jam session. And no cops came! LOL! Tyler made an outdoor showing as well - he got his head petted by at least a dozen people. Saw some fireworks thru the trees, did a shot of Jager, and the night was complete. The thumb sucks. LOL funny sentence when you think about it! http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/505/Independance_Day Sat, 5 Jul 2008 22:50:40 -0000 SEE YA!! Day 1 of the Fucking Farewell Celebration has begun. I know - such profanity..! Well too bad. We'll just cut it down to the FFC. I saw an itty bitty part of a rainbow tonight as I was driving home from work. It was like my Dad was saying "Psssst....", like he knew. Hi Dad! My thumb hurt like a mother today - must have been from the way it was taped yesterday. But it hurt more than usual, and I'm hoping I'm not doing more harm than good by working (I probably am...), like preventing it from getting better. I talked with my boss, and boy, we're a mess over this thing. I have to do what's best for me, and I'm not sure what that is cuz right now, I need to work and save a shitload of money, and if I have to take time off for surgery, she needs a head's up to hire someone part time to help with coverage. That sucks for her. And for me! Cuz I will probably lose some clients. Plus, I have no money to take time off - only 1 week vacation left. I have no idea how bills will be paid when they ne... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/504/SEE_YA Wed, 2 Jul 2008 02:19:31 -0000 The 1st Step - Physical Therapy Well, according to the Dr - the MRI was clear, so from what they think, I have a subluxation of the joint, coupled with a sprain. Basically, a subluxation means the thumb's a little out of whack, and not really sitting in the joint properly. It seems when I fell, the hamper I was carrying in my right hand hit my thumb back a little bit before I landed on my ass. So, I have to try PT for the next 3 weeks, I guess to try to get that thumb back into place. Today's 24 hour step - TAPE THERAPY: <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SGjzrgoKCnwAAFToIrA1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SGjzrgoKCnwAAFToIrA1/002.JPG?et=oBsGn4YCKZ2VkTf%2B1E%2B3gg&nmid=0" border="0"></a> <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SGjzuwoKCnwAAFToIrg1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SGjzuwoKCnwAAFToIrg1/003.JPG?et=oja4vEgdTO4IrpD9kyn%2BUA&nmid=0" border="0"></a>This tape's on here pretty damn tight! It's supposed to hold the muscles in place to help secure my thumb joint. I also have a few exercises to do starting tomorrow - can't do them with the tape on or it'll loosen. I really hope this works cuz the next step is surgery, and I really don't want that. Today later on I have to meet with the property manager to finally get an accident report filled out, and give her copies of all my bills so far. I hoep things go smoothly and I get everything paid for.

Tomorrow at 9:45 is my Dr's appt - to hopefully find out my poor thumb's fate. It's to the point where I wake up every day and go, "well, today will suck cuz everything will just hurt that much more than 2 days ago." Today I had all new pains in my forearm, but I'm not thinking too much about it - I just think I'm over-compensating for the pain and moving my fingers in so many other ways to try to not feel pain that this is just a side effect. I had a good 5 or 6 moments where I had to fight off the tears. I've had enough. My 2nd MRI was lovely - I was laying on my back with my arm down by my side. It was a breeze. I can't think of why they didn't do this in the 1st place! Oh... we'll see. http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/502/nervousnervousnervous....

Maybe they'll put me in the open MRI thing, if they have one there, so I don't have to go thru all that shoulder pain again. We'll see. Yep, I know - it just couldn't be easy, could it?

Last night just as I was all bummed out that I had nothing to do this weekend, my fellow hair junkie Patti called me and invited me over to party on The Slab - A.K.A. her back patio. It was me, her, her daughter Chrissy and her friend Travis, and then one other girl Kim showed up. We played a card game and had drinks and ordered pie and for a while, I didn't have any pain. Well I did, but it didn't matter. I was with pals. Travis is a salsa dancer! Very cool for an ex-Marine. So he gave me salsa lessons in Patti's living room.

It should have taken an hour - still quite a long time! But it took an hour and a half. The machine kept screwing up and it had to be shut down and restarted at one point. They had me lying on my belly with my right arm straight out on the table, kinda like superman, so I was only in the MRI tube from maybe my chest up. They wrapped my hand in some thick grey padding and taped it down and gave me a pillow, so I rested the side of my face on it and curled my left arm around my head. It wasn't that comfortable as I noticed my right shoulder didn't feel great after a few minutes. It was hurting all over again from the fall on the stairs. So I tried my best to suck it up, and I was in and out and in and out of the damn thing. After about an hour and 20 minutes, they came back in, and took my hand out and re-wrapped it in a different kind of immobilizer, and that's where the nightmare began. This new position made me arm even more straight out than be... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/500/A_Little_Hope_Where_Needed Sat, 21 Jun 2008 01:56:35 -0000 *BOGO*s Farewell Month-Long Celebration Goodbye, adieu, see ya, bon voyage, Later Dayz, get the fuck out, sayanara, vamoose, scram, skidaddle - however you wanna say it, I'll be drinkin' to http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/calendar/item/10009/BOGOs_Farewell_Month-Long_Celebration Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:10:18 -0000 Mulling the 30s over I've done alot of thinking about my 30s.

Who needs one? 40 going to be fabulous over and over and instead of a birthday, I'll have my very own anniversary. As I prepare to throw the month-long Bon Voyage Party to say farewell to a rollercoaster of a decade, and enter a whole new decade of adventure, I've thought about what's happened to me in the last 10 years.

And it also has a solid bottom - no more wire grate bottom since now he's had a sore on his front paw. This will feel better on his feet. It will be a whole new nightmare to clean since before I just had to slide out the bottom pan. Now I have to take him out and put him somewhere and dismantle the whole thing.

Holy CRAP this show is killing me. Happy to say that Tyler's feeling more uppity thanks to his new meds.

She just went on and on about how if I just go to her Dr, I won't need that - that her Dr will just give me a shot and that'll be the end of it all, but NOOOOOOOOO go ahead and do it my way and get the unnecessary MRI and go thru all that shit instead.

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 17:10:41 -0000 The Update WELL..... It's not good. I went to the orthopedic Dr yesterday morning, all excited! I was gonna know what was wrong, have a shot of cortisone and start feeling better. I just knew it. Yeah, not so much. The Dr came in and started asking me questions, when did this start, what happened, blah blah blah. Then he starts moving my thumb around, and pressing on it and I was groaning and making faces at the pain. So he says he wants to get some xrays. I mentioned how I bashed my thumb back in 1985 and never went to the Dr for it back then, so maybe it was arthritis from an old injury. Then I mentioned how I fell on the stairs and maybe that aggrivated something. Thinking it was a sprain, it was xrayed, and nothing showed up. So he's poking it and moving it around again, and I'm explaining how it hurts and when it hurts and he's baffled. He actually said "I don't know what's wrong with it." This is the part where I say "Well that just sucks." So he goes to give me a prescription for some napr... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/496/The_Update Fri, 13 Jun 2008 22:49:17 -0000 Swamp Prettiness and Man does my thumb hurt Tomorrow finally is my orthopedic appt for my thumb.

Wow!! Talk about relaxing. I'll have to get into Wednesday in another blog.... Mary and I hit the Wrentham Massachusettes Outlets Thursday. Oh wow...... <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEvqMAoKCnwAADZJSws1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEvqMAoKCnwAADZJSws1/002.JPG?et=F2vEDwcDjuhdUc%2BIdMjJUw&nmid=0" border="0"></a> The second we rolled into the parking lot we rolled our windows down and inhaled, and Mary says "Smell that? It smells like SHOPPING...." LOL I don'thave any of the pics Mary took, but here's a few shots I had: Had the camera on Super Close Up! <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEvqcgoKCnwAADuTfWw1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEvqcgoKCnwAADuTfWw1/003.JPG?et=PrQqfOaoclHoVfJWx8YP4w&nmid=0" border="0"></a> The Ugg Store! Oh Mary was so excited, and she should have been! She got these cool sandals in the clearance bin for $15. The whole store was filled with furry shoes. <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEvqmAoKCnwAADtmYMY1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEvqmAoKCnwAADtmYMY1/005.JPG?et=RNuloWDbsvvAlaUVwuodIw&nmid=0" border="0"></a> It was freezing cold that day! It was drizzly and chilly and the second we got there I had to buy a long sleeve shirt to wear over my tanktop. I read that it was going to be in the 70s and sunny - it was in the 50s and cloudy and rainy. NICE... The Calvin Klein store was so beautiful and on sale and I almost cried at all the gorgeous things in ther... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/494/Wrapping_up_the_Vacation Sun, 8 Jun 2008 14:36:12 -0000 Tyler's Day at the Vet He did good! Tyler weighed in at a slim and trim 770 grams - which is pretty good cuz last time he was a whopping 808. Still kinda big, but now we have concerns. Cuz he's older, I have to watch his water intake. Funny, cuz I was just thinking that there's not alot of water in his bowl when I go to change it, and I thought maybe it was evaporating in the warmer weather. OR, he could be drinking alot. And that's a sign of age. Here's some pics from the day! Weighing in: <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEbOrwoKCnwAAA-F0Rg1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEbOrwoKCnwAAA-F0Rg1/003.JPG?et=wikBPqW8IOQtcSX4CgVLkw&nmid=0" border="0"></a> Feeling around and checking the joints: <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEbOzwoKCnwAAAp@h881"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEbOzwoKCnwAAAp@h881/005.JPG?et=6L9kr5wmLRUaHJaB913SNA&nmid=0" border="0"></a>   <a href="http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEbO4goKCnwAABhDhAE1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.primeaufreak.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEbO4goKCnwAABhDhAE1/006.JPG?et=k6ZMZGnk8saVL1WZVy2PkA&nmid=0" border="0"></a> All wrapped up! Wow those are some big ears! They wrap him in a towel so they can check his teeth.

So she applied some aloe to soothe it, which I went out and bought. I have to apply it on his pads now and then... http://primeaufreak.multiply.com/journal/item/493/Tylers_Day_at_the_Vet Wed, 4 Jun 2008 17:29:16 -0000 Yankee Candle Today my friend and fellow hair junkie Patti and I hit Yankee Candle's big flagship store.
