So I’ve gotten to the point in my recovery where all the blood that escaped a vein and poured into the interstices of my hip and other bits has, because of gravity and other irritating realities, pooled in my calf and ankle.
It was less uncomfortable when it was spread out through my whole leg and hip. I mean, it’s a lot of goo to fit in such a little space where it doesn’t belong. Also, while I’m probably getting better at the same rate I’ve been tripping along at, the bit that’s still healing is more and more localized as I go.
I’ve seen the comments you guys have made, and I realize that I don’t have it a fraction as bad as a lot of people, and of course, I sit at a drawing table and a computer on many days, so it’s not like I have to load tractors with sacks of barley or something…
What it all boils down to is that I needed a thing in this space and all I can think about is how much my dang calf aches.
Greg, my right leg is on warpath from hip to toes the left from thigh to toes. There are PK’s that make life better and I’m out until next week. Makes for long nights. I’ve had poolouts lie that and man when they start absorbing and itching and turning the lovely colors at certain places.
As for this motley crew, only one on Chase R Ambule’s team is him. Can’t they restraining order him or something? Get someone to file a complaint.
Good going on recovering this far, Greg!
And, to take your mind off your calf, just focus on that itch in the small of your back that you… can’t… *quite*… reach…
That itch responds well to the handle on the flyswatter, a real backscratcher, the end of a rattail comb, a chopstick, or my $1 pair of cheap scissors (back side or ‘outside’ of a blade, the scissor is closed). The last one artfully applied is decisive. In the days of ratted hair with lot of hairspray, headscratching was done with a knitting needle… or the handle of the rattail comb.
as long as you are getting better, slowly or not, I am glad personally Greg. and I bet a lot of people agree.
on my side doctor still can’t believe the speed of my recuperation. to the point they make…strange remarks.
every time I am not sure what to answer them so I go “I am too stubborn to let it take over me.” lol
Don’t worry over much about all the keeping up with the Jones’s nonsense, Mister Greg.
You just focus on getting better and not keeling over on us. Hubris aside, some of us sorta like you and wouldn’t mind you staying on a Bit longer.
We left comments about loading sacks of barley onto pickup trucks?!? What do WE know about that?!? (I know better than to know anything about that!)
Hope your peg leg gets better
Elevate, elevate, elevate. Oh, and blood thinners. Lots of blood thinners. Get better.
Greg bud … prayin’ for ya … just found out today, that I suffer from keratoconus… which is a drooping cornea. This can lead in worst case, to blindness.
HOWEVER … I’m still prayin’ for ya bud. Love ya man!
Your prayers have done the trick. Now, we pray for you, pal.
Well apparently the Universe has decided to turn the prayers of “good” to “bad” … I went yesterday to a Laser-Eye surgery place, and the ophthalmology people did an hour worth of tests … maybe more. They found out on top of ADHD, Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Chronic Major Depression, PTSD, and hypermobileEhlers-Danlos Syndrome, I probably have a rare version of keratoconus. (Rare in that I have a bulging cornea, but instead of the cornea being thinner than normal, it’s thicker… ugh!)
So … if it’s all the same … stop praying for well being, and pray for bad things to happen … I figure if the above is what happens to me with “good luck” prayers … imagine what’ll happen with “bad luck” prayers! LOL
Holds you tight
er.. uh.. I’m. .old?
What’s important is that you’re healing Greg. This world is MUCH better place with you in it. Never forget that. Take your time and get better.
oh.. and GO TEAM US!!
