Wouldn't that make it impossible to bend over and touch your feet? Well, I smashed my pelvis in an accident back in 2011 and although they fixed it at the time it turns out that they didn't do it right and it was only scar tissue that was keeping everything rigid. When the scar tissue started to soften the pubic symphysis (the joint at the front of the pelvis) started to become unstable. The muscles and ligaments around the pelvis were trying to keep everything in place but it went on until I had an op last year to fuse the pubic hingamybob so everything was over worked and over stretched. Now it seems that the ligaments that hold the joints at the back of the pelvis ((the SI joints) are dysfunctional, they've been stretched too far and can't hold the joints closed properly. If this is what's going on then they need to fuse these joints too. The SI joints are between your pelvis and the part of the spine that runs through the pelvis so hopefully the loss of function should be minimal as there's not (supposed to be) much movement there anyway. The trouble is that there was so much damage done to that whole area, in the accident, that it's hard to say exactly what's causing the pain. Once they do more scans or X-rays or whatever, he might decide that it's not worth doing such a serious op as there's no gaurantee that it would work anyway. Until I hear back from him I'm just in limbo. And no, not the dance. Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Guzzi Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 You know how sometimes you get a little raggedy bit at the side of your nail and when you go to pull it out it bleeds a little? Well, I assume that's what happened to me because about a month ago I remember thinking "My toe's a little red" and when I pressed the side of the nail there was a tiny bit of pus came out and I thought "Hmmm, must have had a rag nail" and I put some antiseptic on it for a day or two. Except that didn't work. Every time it would heal up, a couple of days later it would be red and his tiny little amount of pus would come out when I pressed on it. Fast forward a month and today I finally went to the doctor with it, I mean, it's not worth bothering a doctor with something like that, is it? Suck it up Guz, it'll be better tomorrow. Hmmm, yeah. Today the doc says "Yeah, that's not going to heal unless we take the nail off, and it's going to be painful." Arrrrrrrrrrrgh! So now I'm sitting here with a bandage around my toe that I'm sorely tempted to draw a smiley face on, and the local anaesthetic is wearing off. To be fair though, she only had to take part of the nail off and it wasn't that bad. It's the injection of anaesthetic that was the "painful" bit she was talking about (gotta admit I was quite relieved when she explained that) which did hurt like a bitch, but it wasn't as bad as she was making out. She didn't tell me that she had to do three of the fuckers though! pics to follow Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Plazmotic Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Speaking of nail issues, I was slicing up an avocado yesterday (my very first) and made the mistake of using a dull knife. Yup, chopped my left index finger and nail real hard. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get infected.

Raincloak Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's possible the computer brain will survive even if the keyboard doesn't. When it's dry, try plugging in a USB keyboard if you can't get the built in keys to work. Make sure your data is backed up. Always. 1 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Raincloak Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Also everyone riding that bus, in addition to the emotional trauma they will be stuck at the scene for at least an hour while the flashing lights show up and the yellow tape comes out. As will everybody who has the luck to be on that street at the time. Just push the guy off a balcony or something, so he won't hold up traffic. On a different subject, Passover starts today. Time for my annual "paleo except with matzah diet" week. I get better at it every year, I think... 2 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I have, which is why I've had a few meetings with HR "Daddy can we walk to school today?" which we did, taking the trail through the woods looking at the fresh deer tracks, listening to the birds and we finally found out how the cat catches fish; there is a fallen tree that runs from the bank into the stream, he walks down the tree to the waters edge takes a drinks and sits in the sunlight just watching the water 5 Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........
