@stueytheround @sfleetucker Stuey beat me by 9 seconds!!! π
@sfleetucker Well, of course not. Stormtroopers are notoriously bad at scoring hits. π
@LnzyHou I really feel for you. That sounds terrible. I hope you're able to recover from all of this, sooner rather than later.
I wish I could augment my pain medication with CBD, but I can't here in Texas. On top of my knee pain, I'm a chronic pain patient for problems in my back, ankles, left arm, and with a torn rotator cuff. I'm on 40mg of Dilaudid a day for it, and CBD would kill my drug screen tests. Sigh.
@CrypticMirror If by "wild garlic" you're talking about "ramps," you might want to put that talent to good use. Ramps are getting pretty popular nowadays, commercially speaking. You might find a lucrative market for them if you go out and collect them.
Now, that's coming from someone who lives in an area where the things don't even grow, so take my advice with a large grain of salt. I could be spouting nonsense. Wouldn't be the first time. π€£
@LnzyHou No thanks, I've already had one. π Seriously, I had my left knee replaced in 2020, and it's been nothing but problems since. Right now, the thing's loose as all hell, wobbling side-to-side on me. The outer side is swollen and very painful.
The original surgeon is going to go back in - for a second time - and install "shims" to tighten up the joint, among other things. (He removed scar tissue during the previous revision operation.) I hope this will solve things at last.
@Lindy Good morning!
@Gramdma2011 Thank you for the kind medicinal words - much obliged!
@GaryPoole If you're talking Jelly Belly brand, it's definitely Watermelon. I like biting into the green shell and seeing the red interior with the black flecks inside. It tastes great, too. π
I hope so, too. Thanks for the well wishes. Gotta keep working on music in the meantime. π
I'm hanging in there, thanks to both of you. Having trouble with my artificial left knee. It decided to start screaming at me last night, so I had to ditch my walking cane and dig out my walker (a.k.a. "Zimmer frame") instead. Got surgery on it scheduled for the 30th of this month, so hopefully they'll fix it up nice and tight this time.
@CherNohio Good Morning!
@stueytheround Good morning!
@MrsSpear Good morning! Have a good rest of the day!
@janallmac Thankfully, I don't have to get to work. I'm on disability retirement. Have been for around 10 years or so. Chronic pain patient plus other injuries/maladies.
Author of "Grabbag," the Duke Nukem Theme, and much more. On disability retirement, but still writing music. https://dleejackson.lbjackson.com/commissions/
