February 7 - Catching Up

Catching up the old blog here since it's been five days. My main news is that I went to Worcester to see a doctor and was told I do NOT need elbow replacement. That is the good news. The bad news is that I do need a 'big' surgery. The issue is a 'huge' chunk of extra bone growing on my elbow joint that doesn't belong there. This large chunk is what prevents me from bending my elbow normally (hey I'm not unpatriotic...I simply can NOT put my right hand over my heart...it simply won't go). It is akin to a door swinging against a doorstop. The door stops right? Well that's what is happening inside my elbow, it's getting stopped by a 'huge' chunk of bone.

The surgery he said is a 'big one', and it will take SIX MONTHS for me to come back from it. Which is why I'm choosing to schedule this in the fall. I am NOT going to spend all spring and summer recovering, bouncing back and forth to after surgery physical therapy, being in a LOT of pain hence being buggered out on pain pills. Nope. I'm not going to be doing any harm by waiting a few months, so wait I shall.

I am quite pissed off though. This second doc took his time and explained everything to me, and even drew pictures so I'd understand, and showed me things on the x-rays. Why couldn't the first doctor I saw about this have at least told me this? Oh wait....he spent all of 90 seconds with me twice. I guess there wasn't time in those two ninety second visits to actually explain things to me. I wonder how much the insurance was charged for those two 90 freakin' second appointments.

February 2 - This N' That

Thoughts random and jumbled... I didn't watch the Grammy Awards, but saw the clips online of Micheal Jackson's Prince and Paris accepting his award. My God his children are beautiful..all three of them, too bad little 'Blanket' wasn't there.

I'm pissed off that Gov. Deval Patrick wants to up the tax on soda and candy, plus other sweetened drinks by fifteen percent. Please...in these difficult economic times a little chocolate helps to release those endorphins. And we all could use a few extra endorphins right now. Welcome to 'Taxachusettes'.

It irritates the hell out of me when people enter photography contests and then post on forums and what not asking people to vote for them, and the people do it. Can you say dishonest, rude, sneaky and tacky to name a few? Votes should be given to the 'best of the best' and should NOT be a popularity contest. No I haven't entered any contests, but this is something I see all of the time, and it's just WRONG.

And that is that for today's random and jumbled thoughts. I haven't had a clear and concise thought all day...I think I need some chocolate.

February 1 - A-Okay The Day After

Well this I did not expect. After ice skating yesterday for the first time in well over three decades I expected to grow new places to hurt overnight.

I had apologized to my ankles in advance, out of the expectation of them protesting what I put them through yesterday. But as luck would have it I'm fine!

I have no idea why, but hey, I'm not going to question it. I'm very happy that I awoke not cursing the ice and my judgment.
