Hopefully, like trying to enter very cold water, like a mountain lake, it is much easier the second time. [/quote'] I doubt it. I know now exactly how painful it is. i can't recall if I mentioned it here, but when I came out from under the anaesthetic gas, I was positively hysterical. Between the fear I felt, the pain I felt as I woke up, and being totally disoriented because where I woke up was not where I went unconscious ... I was screaming incoherently and flailing madly. I had to be pinned down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Re: The cranky thread I think my computer may be dying, and I'm having trouble backing up my stuff. I'm going to have it checked out this weekend. So if you don't hear from me for a few days, you know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Re: The cranky thread Sympathy appreciated. It's worse because now they're gonna mess up my RIGHT arm' date=' which is my primary one. My left arm still hurts after a month ... at least this time they're not gonna mess around with trying to use my own veins, they're gonna use a graft (not an unusual occurance, I'm told).[/quote'] Best wishes to you CC.

CrosshairCollie Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Re: The cranky thread Best wishes to you CC. Damn. Stupid medical profession. Eh ... there was no way to find out if it'd work other than to try it. I should have just let them use my right arm first (the blood vessels were bigger), but I was too afraid of getting my primary arm hurt. The mouse is on the right side of the computer, after all. This time, at least, they're not going to fart with using my own veins, and just insert grafts ... unfortunately, grafts need replacing more frequently than using my own veins, so I'm still SOL.

gewing Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Re: The cranky thread damn, that sucks. Well, another argument for stem cell research! Personally, I am Cranky because Tavish, my 2.5 year old son, has a cold. All last night he sounded like he was moaning as he tried to breathe through his stuffed up nose or around his pacifier. He also kicked me a lot all night. So I am tired, cranky, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Re: The cranky thread My mother is coming up to visit tomorrow, on about 12 hours notice. The last time I talked to her, she was going to bring my brother with her; she IMPLIED that he was not coming along after all (she said 'I' rather than 'we'), but I have the oddest feeling he may be along for the ride anyway. I hate him, he hates me, and I cannot understand why my mother can't simply accept this and stop trying to force us to get along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Re: The cranky thread I recommend: "Yes, stick figure boy, I know I am fat. If you tell me again I will sit on you." I'm sure he meant it as funny, or humorous, and he followed it up with something akin to so was he but frankly, this guy and I had had years of tension since he made an ass of himself when we first met. He has a tendency to treat folks as inferiors, where as I am very big on pleases and thank yous. If you TELL me to do something like I'm your lackey, I'm liable to tell you where to go if I don't catch myself. If you add please or thank you, I'm much more likely to jump in the lake you point at thanks to your courtesy. Sure, it may seem stupid to some, but it is how I'm wired. I had thought that an olive branch had been proffered, and I attempted to take it. Then he tells me I'm twice the size I was before out of the blue. Was it a blurt? Was it a sophmoric attempt at humor? Was it some attempt to be the dominant male? I don't know. I can only come to the conclusion, that this man, despite his being older, was never raised properly.

Well, you could in theory dodge it. My general response to such questions is either "none of your business" or "I haven't decided yet". For a family member I might pretty up the first one.

MilkmanDan Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Re: The cranky thread The good thing about exercise is it makes me more energetic, I've lost weight, and I just feel better. The bad thing is that I sometimes push my luck. I probably shouldn't have added those extra 10 pounds on when doing squats. @#$!! back is killing me.

Old Man Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Re: The cranky thread Squats always gave me a hard time. But in my knees, not my back. Heavy squats always made it feel like my kneecaps were going to pop out at high velocity, and there's no point to doing light squats. I don't get that on the leg press machine, for some reason.

MilkmanDan Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Re: The cranky thread I've had some back issues in the past that squats and the leg press have both exacerbated a few times. Don't have a lot of core strength at this point. Let's just say being gimped by a bad ankle for a few years took me from "not fit" to "wait, I have to walk stairs?".

BoneDaddy Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Re: The cranky thread quoted the wrong post. son is allergic to peanuts' date=' needs epi-pin, etc.[/quote'] You sure about that? I did a little research, and from what I found it seemed likely that there was a hell of a lot of potentially fatal peanut allergy hype and no damn peanut fatalities. I did the research as I was screaming at our son's elementary school for trying to ban peanut butter altogether, which let's face it would be a damn disaster for the rest of us. I don't doubt your son is allergic to peanuts, and you have my sincere sympathies, but the test seems able to detect a hystamine response but not severity. Am I wrong?
