it was a while ago yes, i had the surgery. no, i didn't go back to work when i hoped. i can barely type now -- have to put my left arm in place on the keyboard using my right hand and then move if off with my right hand. doc seems to think he's solved the problem, but when you slice off a big ole piece of bone, dang it hurts!

(OT - Mames) in person, I have a terrible potty-mouth. I can swear like a longshoreman. So it cracks me up that I sometimes come across rather prissy. (Although I am a big believer in being appropriate to time and place, so of course I don't spew naughties in polite company.) How funny Mames, this sounds similar to me (though I wouldn't say I swear a ton - but often enough). I get the same thing, though. People who first meet me often think I am prissy and nothing bad has ever happened to me LOL, which really couldn't be further from the truth.

Costa reminded me I am wondering what they will give me for the pain after my 4 teeth are pulled fri...dentists usually give ya vicodin..but that didnt touch the pounding throbbing yesterday. Percocet might do the trick

Strange Creature Immune to Pain http://www.livescience.com/animals/080128-mole-rat-pain.html snip** Curiously, the researchers found that mole rats remained completely insensitive to acids, even with the Substance P genes. This suggests there is a fundamental difference in how their nerves respond to such pain. I thought this article was extremely flawed. Substance P can be measured and yet no mention of the results was made. Worse still, a conclusion that the animals is Not Feeling ANY kind of pain has been made. Would love to know what you guys think. i personally would rather live the rest of my days 'as is', then to contribute to the torture (and yes, it is!) of innocent animals. The reason I'm bothered is, they use basic needles for the critters REGARDLESS of size. I'm sure everyone here has had injections/ blood taken and felt how it hurt. They use that same size for mice/rats etc think about what that is like for the little critters. It would be like someone using a Pen -sized needle on our arm.

upon retrospect, it strikes me....IF something solid can be learned, is it an act that is 'an end to a means'? anyways, i have a slightly different view on animal research if a procedure has a HUGE potential for success. Like the stem cell research of spinal cord repair! where I draw the line is doing 'stuff' to animals....just to see how they respond. I really dont believe that the scientists are baseing their pain observations on anything But the Stereotypical response that they EXPECT to see. the comment that they Knew the animal didnt have pain because it didnt 'withdraw its foot' really bothered me because I had a dog with severe arthritis from a young age. She was so used to pain she would be able to 'deal with' quite a fair amount (handling at vets for instance) before stating she couldnt take it anymore. I truly dont believe the vets understood how badly they were hurting her by their manipulations....but I'd see her limping and walking hunched over for days to weeks afterwards. If she was being used for 'pain' observations, they would have been coming to false conclusions due to her lack of response with midrange pain. It strikes me that a naked, cold and blind mole would be so petrified with fear that it wouldnt respond to pain for fear of further pain being inflicted. Anyways, JUST my opinion and I felt like a rant LOL

Well, it has been a while since I've posted here. Jim and I made a move this past weekend to a house in the sticks near Gig Harbor, WA. It's a wonderful house that sits on 2.5 acres, surrounded by wooded forest. We travel on a dirt road for about 2 minutes until we approach our house. It was a quick decision to move here, and I spent all last week coming to the house and cleaning, then the move on Saturday and Sunday, and then more cleaning and unpacking - - and guess what? Yes, you guessed it, I am one tired and sore puppy. This house is dirty. The cabinets in the kitchen, laundry room, and both bathrooms are filthy, and while Jim is at work all day, I'm trying to muster up some energy to clean up so I can put food and dishes away instead of digging for everything in boxes and bags. Despite it being dirty, it's a beautiful house. It just had messy tenants here before. So, I'm having a hard time today. I need to get something done, but all I want to do is lay down and sleep. I am putting too much pressure on myself to get it all done. Since I am new here, I don't have any family or friends close, I have no one to call and help. I just feel like crying about it. There are clothes in bags and piles everywhere because we still have to paint the closet in the master bedroom. In fact, all three bedrooms and both baths need paint still, so we haven't even moved our bed into our bedroom yet, so everything is in disarray, and I'm doing my best not to get too overwhelmed by everything. I guess I just had to rant a little bit too. I'm just tired and I hurt so much - everywhere. Gentle hugs to my fellow pain sufferers.

I've heard of Gig Harbour. It is supposed to be beautiful there if I recall correctly. Any chance that you could find a housekeeper to help do the grunt work? Just the Washing down walls and that 'heavy cleaning' which is brutal. i did a quick search and see that the main town is around 6,000 pop. I bet there are a few companies and maybe even a few 'home businesses' that could help...for a reasonable price. http://www.mandmhousecleaning.com/ i noticed that this co. is from Gig. Anyways, I'm sure I'm not helping at all LOL BUT, be assured....I'm commiserating with you. I seriously hate housework so I 'feel for you'. BUT looking at the bright side, it will be great when It is alll done and you can move in fully.

Sage, if there's a library or community centre with activities nearby you could go there and hopefully not feel quite so isolated and lonely. And if you can afford it, I agree that having a cleaning lady in to help is great especially on days when we're feeling very ouchie.

Sun and Mame, I am very seriously considering calling for some help. I looked in the yellow pages and there are tons of cleaning companies. I keep thinking though, that I just have to take it easy and not put this pressure on myself. I've already spent a lot of money moving over here to the west side, and the thought of spending more... ugh. You know what? I counted how many times I have moved since I became an adult in 1978 - 19 times! This was the 19th move I've made in 30 years. This move is the 3rd I've made in less than 18 months. Gah! I just want some normalcy again. Alright, I've done enough bitchin'. I'll make a call to M&M cleaning services and see what they can do to help me. Gig Harbor is very beautiful, and so is the rest of this part of the state. I feel like I'm on a retreat in this house. I hope its the last time I move for a very very long time.

(((Sage))) dont worry if you dont get everythign done as fast as you want to, you just have to go at your own pace. Your new home sounds awesome. I know how frustrating it is seeing the house a mess and cant do anything about it. I know ranting here helps, so you rant away Mame, I read your post, thanks so much for the info, I am going to ask the doc on thurs if I can get the percocet, so I can have it if I need it. xoxoxoxo

Ok, I finally made a call to a company called Scrubbles, and they are coming out tomorrow morning to clean the inside and outside of all the cabinets in this house. (Sun, I tried that M&M place, and the phone number is dead.) They are going to charge me $88, and I'm having a bit of a hard time paying someone that much, but if I don't, I'm going to get myself all worked up into a physical and emotional collapse if I don't. I told Jim I was probably being anal about it all, and he didn't argue that point - hmpf. Regardless, I need to get it done - because... I am starting my own business adventure with my art, and it's been on hold because of moving 2 times since the first of Oct., plus the renovating we were doing in the last place we lived in took time away from me working on it. I am so frustrated because I have a lot of creative work to do, and I haven't been able to do any of it. Anyway, all that is probably for another topic, so I won't elaborate on it in this thread. I just needed to express most of why I'm frustrated with how slow things are going because of this damned disability. I know how important it is to pace myself, but when everyday life is in such disarray that I can't be productive, I get sad, angry, and overwhelmed with it all. I'm so thankful to have a place to rant about this, as I know you all can relate because of the pain and fatigue we live with on a constant basis. ~Hugs~
