LOL
12:08 am
Bugsaw

Me too Nef. The skin gets so tight it feels like it will split but I have not found the right strength of compression sock. The last one I tried I had to cut off and it took over half an hour to do because it was so tight I couldn't get scissors inbetween my skin and the sock. I am only now looking to do more than suffer.

hey all
12:12 am
Nef

do you still see that ortho doctor? Has that doctor seen your leg? I'd ask foirst about what strength of compression you should have (sounds like the ones you had were too firm). Or maybe see if a Physical Therapist could help advise you fo that.
12:12 am

(((bugs hugs)))

(I have 1 pair that is too tight; and 1 pair that aren't tight enough.... and they don't match.

12:21 am

sorry to appear rude. I wandered off. I feel for you harpjane. the nonweight bearing rule was so hard for me because it meant I had to stay in the house most of the time. boring

12:23 am

lol I wish! No, it was a cross country ski accident and I had to ski about a mile after I broke it, in order to get back to the car.
12:23 am
harpjane

My husband
12:24 am
Bugsaw

OMG jane, that must have been painful! I am so sorry that happened but you could lie and say you were Riverdancing just for fun.
12:24 am
Lizlin

Ouch - Jane that sounds awful.
12:25 am
harpjane

My husband's mother had some socks, jobst I think, custom made, measured exactly to her leg. They were made in Germany. They had to be zipped up.
12:26 am
harpjane

At least the accident makes for a good story. Now that I have the cast off, I don't look like a brave heroine who perservered through tough times. I just look like an overweight old slow woman!
12:27 am
Bugsaw

zippers sound like a good idea. My doctor was not much help in recommending anything in particular and I am not rich enough to buy all kinds of pairs. I am now trying to contact a massage therapist to help get the swelling sorted.
12:27 am
Nef

those were jobst hose all right, harp. But follow the directions on the site for how to measure your own legs; and then order according to that and they won't cost you an arm & leg either (the kind your mother in law had probably cost well over $ 100 - or even over $200; depending on when she bought them
12:28 am
origami

Wow, jane - that's quite an experience! Must have been terribly painful and frightening. What a superwoman you are :D
12:28 am
harpjane

It wasn't frightening because I knew I was going to make it out. You just rise to the occasion, I guess.
12:29 am
Nef

hi ori.
12:29 am
origami

Hiya Nef!
12:31 am
Nef

and Jane, I was talking about the timing of when you broke your ankle; the day after you bought a skiing pass for next season.
And of all the things you are; you aren't overweight & you don't look like a slow old woman!
(We are "women of a certain age!")
12:31 am
Bugsaw

I dislocated my foot and then broke both bones in the lower leg when I tried to limp to the car (impossible) so I was down for the count right from the start. I don't have a good story. Just the embarrassing ,
" I've fallen and I can't get up" scenario.
12:31 am
Lizlin

Have you just done that Bugs?
12:31 am
Nef

OUCH!
12:31 am

When I was a teenager I was thrown by my horse out in he hills. Broke my ankle. I was miles from home. But fortunately the A-hole let me catch him and I got home without having to walk.
12:32 am

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friend in Florida.
12:32 am

That horse was bat-shit crazy. I should have known not to take him out alone.
12:33 am
Nef

Ori, is your avatar a painting you've done yourself?
12:33 am
origami

Gosh, bugs. That's awful.
12:33 am
harpjane

I met a woman at the gym who has a cast. She said she fell out of an airplane... A skydiving accident. She has torn ligaments and other problems in addition to the broken bone.
12:33 am
origami

Yep, Nef.
12:33 am
Bugsaw

It was over 3 years ago Liz but the swelling has never gone down. My ankle is huge. Turns out I was allergic to the metal pins and plate so I had to have it taken out after a year and that slowed the healing down
12:34 am
Lizlin

Wow. You poor thing. I actually remember now chatting to you not long after you did that. I didn't realise that it was still causing you problems. You poor thing.
12:34 am
Bugsaw

ouch origami. That would have been so much worse if he ran off and you had to wait to be found
12:35 am
Nef

I like it ori! Very nice, and even has a calming effect I think
12:35 am
origami

It was a little scary. I was miles out in the hills where nobody ever went.
12:35 am
Bugsaw

I don't have pain any more, just uncontrolled swelling that restricts movement. I am fed up.
12:35 am
Lizlin

I can imagine.
12:35 am
harpjane

CHo
12:35 am
harpjane

How did you find out about the allergy, bug
12:36 am
origami

thanks, nef :D
12:36 am
JudyHall

just an FYI for the compression hose discussion: I have been buying compression hose from BrightLife Direct for years. They carry all the "top name" brands, as well as produce quality items under their own brand (Allegra) which I like because I can order items in the "wide-calf" version (I have always had fat calves). Reading about all the broken ankles and broken legs you've all suffered makes me wince in pain ...
12:38 am
Bugsaw

The surgeon figured it out when it was more swollen and more painful after 6 months than it was when I got the injury. It was great that he was willing to take out the hardware but it didn't help the soft tissue damage that happened with the dislocation.
12:39 am
harpjane

I notice that we women of a certain age have bored the trolls to death tonight!
12:39 am
Bugsaw

sorry to bum you out JudyHall but thanks for the info.
12:39 am
Nef

Bugs; you had the metal in for a year? I'm allergic to metals and the second surgeon didn't listen to me & he used surgical staples to close my incisions. He'd put a cast on my leg after using all the staples; I was in such pain that I was trying to cut the cast off the next morning! My hubby was so upset with me (& I was in too much pain to hear him) that he called my closest nurse friend to come over. When she got here; she did cut the cast all the layoff. The swelling was so bad that my toes & foot were black!
12:41 am
Nef

(I had to have the third surgery on that foot due to infection & to close the wounds from the mess he made)
12:41 am
origami

Yikes, Nef.
12:41 am
Bugsaw

Nef that is a HORRIBLE story. I had a plastic removeable cast that was way too tight but I would have done the same thing if I couldn't get it off . I immobilized it on the bed and only wore the cast when I had to move.
12:42 am
origami

Ha, jane! Next time a troll shows up we should just start talking about health issues - maybe bowel problems in detail.
12:42 am
gapeach

Charm, the Kentucky Derby is tomorrow.
12:42 am
harpjane

My cast seemed too tight for the first week but then the swelling went down.
12:42 am
Bugsaw

You were so lucky to have a friend you could help. Having the adjustable cast was a godsend
12:42 am
harpjane

Let's do it, origami!
12:42 am
Nef

Judy, thanks for that website! My one friend has the toughest time ordering compression socks because she has such wide calves she has trouble finding them
12:43 am
Bugsaw

love that idea origami.
12:43 am

Jane - maybe I colitis attack :D

We had a nurse before hub's first surgery who was a soccer player from Romania, then he played basketball. His name is Atilla, but he was the best nurse ever! We got survey papers to fill out, and he gets special mention - eye candy when my hubby was getting all of his hair shaved off was helpful, hahaha!
1:58 am
grannyrose

lol... one of the regulars has been going to this program for nearly 11 years now. i think it's awesome that the hospital provides cardiac cases this type of support.
1:59 am

oh, ikr, about the eye candy. that desrcibes my cardiac doc to a T.
2:01 am
Kamanjah

Yep, helps all of us heal, and hubs was comfortable with him, joking around, being silly, and the guy was so good at inserting IVs that I was amazed - that kind of skill is so necessary for pre-op nurses. The second go-round took two tries, but the gal was so apologetic about not getting it the first time.

It is a variant spelling of the tiger by the toe rhyme. Not all clues are for the exact spelling. They are hints to point you in the right direction.

You are not whining Ruby. You are trying to distract yourself and get some support. Both are okay.

Oy, I was trying to give clues that didn't spell out most of the words
12:31 pm
NatashaW

sorry if I offended
12:34 pm
MollyL

Oh, no problem. The original way of cluing here was to use no more than the first two words. Or to give a hint that made you think about what the word was. Now, people just clue any old way.
12:35 pm
NatashaW

all i used was the first 2 letters, but anyhow.
12:35 pm
NatashaW

back to the grid... 5 left to go
12:38 pm
MollyL

Misunderstood your clue then. I thought you were cluing the en words with the sn words that follow
12:42 pm
cybernan

I like to avoid giving out the first 4 letters as well, Molly
12:44 pm
NatashaW

Sheesh, I didn't give out 4 letters. I gave 2. I won't clue any more so as to avoid inadvertently offending anyone. hagd.
12:46 pm

not a problem natasha - you were giving a clue -- nobody gets upset with that! In fact, your comment helped me when it came to the in words :-)

lol -- there seems to be enough rules around here without adding more, granny -- molly was just commenting on different styles of clue giving and I added that I used the same method as she does -- no right or wrong, and I regret that Natasha is upset about it --- clueing methods rank pretty low on a scale of importance as far as I'm concerned

is the mary poppins clue a double letter in the middle of the word?
12:59 pm

I'm only "upset" because I felt judged, and bewildered as to the reason. For myself, I come onto this site as a haven from the judgments and critiques of others at work or in other settings... I guess there is no place free of that. Geez, I'm starting to sound like a millennial seeking a "safe space" with coloring books and puppies and hot chocolate... :-)

1:35 pm

Mysterious. Did you take a Benadryl (or similar)?
1:36 pm

I'm not saying it's from the chemo... but when my hub was on chemo (5FU) and got mouth sores the 1st week, the docs insisted it wasn't from the chemo and treated him for herpes... which it wasn't. It was chemo mouth sores for goodness' sake. Just sayin' ...

I figured that it would be corrected after the "crash" of the server, but the ratings error persisted
8:41 pm

Perhaps when Dr. God set thing up to run through 2019, he didn't ser the stats to update at the same time? just a guess.

hi Kate - no, the stats were already wacky before the collapse
8:42 pm

reason I noticed is that after I goofed and forgot to finish a grid on a busy day, I was looking forward to restoring a 1030 after a month, but it didn't happen

yes, Aloy,, she is as important ans Gibbs... her and Penelope from Criminal Minds are 2 of "the most trusted" characters on series tv.... I love both characters... I am just hoping they don't actually kill her.. but she decides to leave after whatever lands her in hospital looking to be in bad shape.
