    Even my painkillers don't seem to want to kick in tonight! My head feels like it could explode at any minute now, and I've taken my limit! They are strong ones, but I think I'm getting immune to them. Time to switch them up on my next Dr.'s appt. Blah!

    >Is a good Stalker... I announce it too:) (so much for stealth)

    My knee,not sure, 2 trees fell during a huge wind storm,1 giant cottonwood(fell on the truck no less) and a 70 foot Maple(1/5 of the tree) with a chainsaw and log splitter we got about 14 cord of wood from the 2,my using the splitter was 6 days of standing,wide stance(too tall) and leaning to retrieve the split pieces,then throwing them on the trailer for stacking,this constant twisting while throwing caused inflammation to the knee and it never got better,in fact worsened,and then roofing,ugg no good!:(

    Even since I finished the job and have been off for 3 days,it hasn't stopped,WHINE WHINE, WHIMPER WHIMPER.

    Well I get the results of MRI tomorrow afternoon,and then probably surgery asap.Meds haven't helped much,except to put me to sleep(Vicodin)

    Yeah, that would do it I guess! Whoever said hard work was a good thing? LOL! I think some of my problems started after I broke my tailbone twice. But they definitely got worse with many more broken bones, which are stories I won't go into. I'm on a waiting list for a hip replacement, but actually and probably stupidly am trying to put it off as long as possible.

    Hate not being independent. I wasn't for many years, so when I finally got to be, I decided I was never going to give it up again to anyone, so that part of it is hard for me. The recovery period, as I've been told, will be a long one. They will even take away my drivers license for 4 to 6 months. Oh no they ditn't! ::snap:: LOL!

    Better watch out with that Vicoden, just like I have to watch out with my Percocet. Even though some days I am tempted to take more than prescribed, I won't do it. I only take two a day at the most, and in fact I quarter them, and only take a quarter through the day when I really need to. I hate the hazy feeling, and sometimes I just get really tired at whatever time of the day. It sucks doesn't it? I am only 29 after all... LOL!

    Hope your surgery goes well. Actually not even two months after my sis's knee surgery, she was out on a 3 day walk for breast cancer! So hopefully yours goes that well too!

    Percs huh.

    Been on those too,darvocet,percoset,these vocodins,Even been on Darvon compound(now THAT was a real pain pill)

    And yes,I have that addictive personality,Taking more than necessary is a thing of the past though,I really don't like the 'hazy feeling' like you said,but haze verses incessant pain,hmmm,I'll take the haze!

    My Dr. had me on Morphine for awhile, but then switched to Percs. I have an addictive personality too, so I have to watch out.

    Honey, I just love the things you find and share!

    Addictive personality?? What's that?? Once I take my Ortoton for fibromyalgia, Valium for muscle pain, paracetamol with Codeine for my cancer and spine - I'm just fine. Don't need to be addicted to any of that other stuff - it's bad for you. At this point in life, I don't care if I am addicted, as long as the pain is more tolerable and my mind still active and not lethargic like with morphine. I would be the world's worst junkie because I need my brain active and working.

    I had all four wisdom teeth taken out at one time, and was put on Percodan in the 70's. Once I read that they can get you hooked (after still taking them two months later) I gave the rest back to the dentist, and he put them in his pocket and said - hey thanks... go figure! Then there was Darvon - which also made me nauseus as heck. Just recently my Primary Clinician wanted me to use Morphine patches, but I got boils all over and really dizzy, so I told him where to stick them himself.

    Ironic how my system is so different... when I tried speed (young and dumb days) it made me fall asleep within 1/2 hour and when I take Valium, I'm up and cleaning house and wide awake. It happens to one in a million, and I guess I'm it...

    That's funny Cher! I'm fine on my percs, but it's like I can be wide awake at one minute, and the next I'm so tired I can't see straight! I liked the morphine... maybe a little too much, LOL! But that only lasted for so long, and my system got immune to that. Now I think it's doing the same with the percs. I've never heard of Darvon.

    Darvon was prescribed a lot in the '70's

    I was injured in New Orleans(kind of way out of the mainstream medically) And given them,wow they worked wonders.

    Not really... Honest. I personally know of a woman who is a natural blond, AND has black hair elsewhere - and that's natural too. It surprised me, but I know her since birth and was told that this is possible, especially when American Indian genes and others (Blackfoot Nation and German) get mixed. They both are real strong genes and like to make their dominance noticed one way or the other. And it gets passed by females generations down the line. That's evolution for you!

    http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_5_24.gif

    Ever wonder how many blonds demand to be accepted by their American Native heritage?

    Well there you go Cher! Proves my point! I'm German, and I have been known to do a raindance now and again!

    Wow, interesting Chery, very interesting.

    I guess Ken really will have to call Starby's hairdresser.

    Oh, Ken, while you're at it, get a copy of her birth certificate, then we'll know how old she really is. :)

    There's a site for everything, why not that? ;)

    I have company coming in two hours, making a roast dinner, with spaetzle and asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Mmmmm, am I making anyone's mouth water? I hope so. :)

    My natural hair color, brown, with really blonde highlights, heck, they could be called grey, but I doubt it! ;)

    Oh, and yes, I can prove it the old fashioned way. :)

    Reminds me of an Indian joke;

    A young man goes up to the elder of the village and asks, "how do you pick names for the people?"

    The elder says "I pick the names by the first thing I see after they are born. Like flying eagle, seconds after he was born I saw an eagle flying in the sky. Howling coyote is named after the coyote I saw howling moments after his birth. Why do you ask two dogs farking?" ;)

    Ooooh, I crack myself up. LMAO. :)

    Are you making those spaetzle from scratch? Heck I'm drooling already, especially if you are making the gravy from scratch too. There is nothing better than 'real' gravy on home-made spaetzle! Kind of makes my liverwurst sandwich taste like cardboard now...
