Is this what it looks like?

EEWWWWW! Not anywhere near that bad!

It was the tip of the ulna, the olecranon. The piece that keeps your arm from going backwards.

 

[rewebster]

8 weeks?---healed just in time to carve the turkey----and, now, no excuses from those helping you move that you can't be the 'moving manager'

OW! Right where the (not so) funny bone is!

Should we test Evo with some jokes to see if she is healing properly?

I tweaked her just a bit.

Nothing up-front, just a little elbow in the rib, you know. Not that I mean to mention the elbow, you know. It's part of that metaphor thing. Very innocent and all. It's very, very quiet here. I'm nervous, though I try to keep upbeat listening to Hollies records while field-stripping 10mm Glocks for time and points. I have pit bulls in the house and a Holstein bull in the front yard.

That reminded me of an an article on this guy that got hit with a ton of hydroflouric acid:

boy--that guy's lucky he didn't have a glass jaw

 

[rewebster]

the meds must be working---evo hasn't posted too much


Evo!---where (and how) are you?

 

[Evo]

In pain, wondering how I'm going to to get everything done.

 

[rewebster]

if you haven't yet---you may have to change 'asking for help' to 'pleeding for help' if no one is stepping up to the base for you--


-hopefully, you ARE getting help, though.

---------------------------------

it's been about a week now--hopefully the pain will start subsiding soon

Don't you have any of those "will work for food" panhandlers hanging around your supermarkets and strip malls?

 

[rewebster]

(maybe she's out of food right now--that's been one thing I do--throw out all sorts of food/canned and 'otherwise' when you move)


I guess she could 'offer' them a trip to the local chinese buffet (I do when 'needed'--who can resist 'chinese'! )

----------------------------------

ooohhh, ummmmmm---CHINESE (for lunch today)--mmmm, mm, MMmmm!


(slight drooling going on)

Well, if they really wanted work, that would be a good idea. You could try the same thing the moving companies do when they need some last minute help unloading trucks...head to the local bar and ask who needs a job for a few hours. If you do that early enough in the day, they aren't drunk yet, and will be happy to put in a few hours of work to earn enough to get good and drunk that night.

Rewebster asked how my arm and the move are going. Thank you for caring. (and giving me an opportunity to whine)

Arm hurts, I should have taken the option to cast it because I keep hurting it with only a sling. In an alternate universe, the smart Evo has a cast.

I am beginning to realize that trauma to my back and neck are far worse than the break to my arm.

I've temporarily given up on the move. I'm at the new place, stuff scattered everywhere, most of my stuff is still at the old place and my cat and dog are bored to tears. Dr Foofer (my cat) has decided to take revenge on me by clawing my face around 3AM every morning. Of course he pretends he's just being affectionate.

Also, there must be a spider, I am covered in bites.

On a positive note, the red spots that looked like the measles are starting to go away.

I have done almost nothing at work all week.

Does anyone know if David Deutsch is single?

Maybe one should revisit the orthopedist, and see about a cast, and possibly have them look at back and shoulder. Perhaps ligaments/ connective tissue is damaged or perhaps some nerves have been injured.

Good idea to take a break from the move. Not so good about the spider. I'm sure Dr. Foofer is stressed by the move.

Does anyone know if David Deutsch is single?

He may very well be. His status does not show up in his bios.

Here is his website - http://www.qubit.org/people/david/David.html

New site under construction - http://www.qubit.org/people/david/

Adrian Paul is single at the moment.

 

[rewebster]

Oh, well in that case, I don't mind the bites at all.

If I didn't have my fantasy life, I'd have no life at all.

AHHH--come on-----

you have a LIFE...

right here ...

on the Physics Forum - General discussion!

 

[Evo]

OK, but what about your arm? Will you go get another check of it? And your back and neck? If it's still bothering you on the weekend - and preventing you from sleeping and accomplishing tasks, then perhaps you could see the orthopedist on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm planning to return to the doctor.

 

[EnumaElish]

And for itchy bites and measles, the best natural cure is to apply almost unbearably hot water to the affected area. It dissipates the histamines for a couple of hours.

Yes, this is my real life.

I don't like unbearably hot water.

 

[EnumaElish]

I don't like unbearably hot water.

That's why I posted "almost unbearably." Adjust to taste for hot and distaste for itch. Or use AfterBite (ammonia) for bites and hydrocortizone for measles.

 

[Evo]

I lifted a heavy box this morning and heard another crack and felt a bad jolt of pain (as opposed to a good jolt of pain).

I'm not sleeping.

I'm going to duct tape Foofer's little paws if he doesn't stop the nocturnal love fests.

And my Gaelic phrase of the week (thanks to Red Rum) Tóg go bog é He can't be human, we've been friends over a year now and he's still sane.

 

[turbo]

He can't be human, we've been friends over a year now and he's still sane.

Can imaginary friends go insane?

 

[Evo]

Can imaginary friends go insane?

Of course they can.

 

[turbo]

Thanks. I didn't know. When I was very young, I had an imaginary friend, but he refused to talk to me and only played with the neighbor's kids.

 

[Evo]

That's sad.

I didn't even have an imaginary friend to ignore me.

I wonder if my boss will notice that I've been at work all week and haven't done anything. I can't move, how can he expect me to work?

Hey, that should go in the "Did it hurt" thread!

Well, with me on here, they hear a lot of typing.
