Infirmary Thread #21: Say "Aaargh!!"

[RJDiogenes]

Welcome to a New Frontier in Health Care!

The cough/cold I've got can do that on its own.

Aw, man. Guzzle some Nyquil and slip into a healing coma. When do you leave?

507 posts peeps.....
i only got the usual - sinus stuff - in the ear now.

My ears have been popping the last few days. Maybe it's the humidity.

Heading out Saturday. Cold is mostly cleared up.

[RJDiogenes]

Okay, that's good.

[Elara]

So quiet. Well, I can fix that.

Okay, so a couple of weeks ago, I found out I have a break in the side of my boots, both of them have cracked. Things aren't cheap! Anyway, I discovered this because a stick went right into the side of my left boot. I pulled it out and went right on working. Took off my boots and socks later, and my left sock was stuck to my foot. Yep, the stick went into my foot a bit, just stabbed into the skin, but enough to cause it to bleed. No picture for Scotty. But wait...

A couple of days ago, while working on the new raised bed, I slipped, and got my pinky smushed between two blocks. Got pics! Still keeping a bandage on that. And yesterday, had a Achenbach's syndrome episode in my thumb, also a picture.

^Achenbach's Syndrome is a new one on me.

^^ You've never heard anyone say, "Oh, my Achenbach?"

For some reason my right eye seems a little blurry today.

Good God. You do realize that normal people don't impale their feet with sticks, right?

I slipped, and got my pinky smushed between two blocks.

Actually, this happens to me, too. It's like my fingers just sort of naturally gravitate to the crevasse between two hard, heavy objects

had a Achenbach's syndrome episode in my thumb, also a picture.

Again I say Good God. Have you always had Achenbach's syndrome? We really do need a new syndrome called Elara's Syndrome

For some reason my right eye seems a little blurry today.

That's very odd

I have been dealing with severe plantar fasciitis, since March. I really do not want to get a cortisone shot. I'm not sure of why I did not think of it prior, but I purchased a splint to wear at night. Last night was the first night...50% improvement this morning. Hopefully, this will work, as the physical therapy is not.

And now my right wrist is sore.

[RJDiogenes]

^^ What about your eye?

I'm glad the splint is working. Strange that the PT is not.

It seems better today.

Glad the splint is working. Maybe it's time to try a different PT. They really do differ widely from each other.

Probably from fixing all those leaky pipes. Or, we can blame your mattress

[Lupine]

Luckily it's better today.
