Don't know what it was but it was painful, so I went to my doc who gave a (painful) cortisone jab right into the muscle. This caused my arm to swell for about 3 days, but after it went down I was 100% again. So here's hoping you get the same outcome.

Hope you`re studies are going well. xx.<BR/><BR/>Daisy. Nice of you to drop by. "Back" problem still about the same. Can`t have further treatment until the Morphine dosage is slowly reduced. Apparently, it is so addictive, that you have to be weaned off it. Needless to say the pain is returning, with the reduction, so, initially I will have Cortisone Injections (ouch), if they don`t work, then an operation will be required (arrgh).<BR/>Hope you are well and happy. <BR/>Di.xxTrubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297883125832619352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205754021811558638.post-41255012133811835462008-01-27T03:42:00.000-08:002008-01-27T03:42:00.000-08:00just wanted to stop by and see how my friend trube...just wanted to stop by and see how my friend trubes was...i miss seeing you...Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190578784452773984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205754021811558638.post-33718014614471666682008-01-24T23:02:00.000-08:002008-01-24T23:02:00.000-08:00Trubes: Thanks for getting you comments section so...Trubes: Thanks for getting you comments section sorted out. Now we can all join in the fun.<BR/><BR/>Grumpy granny's French seems to be a bit rusty; she titles herself "Angry granny" which I am sure is not what she meant. Grand'mere morose is much more accurate (but don't let on that I speak French rather better than she does!).<BR/><BR/>Hope your back continues to improve. When I was a sproglet my mater (uncountable years ago!), had slipped disc and had to wear a steel ribbed corset thingy for years which, judging from its weight alone, must have been very uncomfortable.

BTW the OU do a latin course and I'm going to be teaching my babes Latin as soon as I can catch up with assignments (babes been poorly, not been on the town) there's a beginers/childrens course from Amazon called 'Minimus' which I'll be using. Hope that helps. But mon dieu! Can't help with french as it's been a while - I was called on to help with some programming and couldn't get my head around a new language and then realised I couldn't remember a thing of those I'd learnt!

Unescorted and "stickless".<BR/>I like shopping alone, can`t do with DT breathing down my neck, doing his Victor Meldrew, ("I don`t believe it") impersonation. Can`t tell you the times I`ve nearly "chinned" him in a shop for commenting about the price of food. I wouldn`t mind he eats the bloody stuff, with relish, I may add, he has a gourmet meal most evenings, prepared, lovingly by yours truly. Must admit, I do have a passion for cooking and enjoy a little drinkie or three, (Bibo,ergo sum) listening to the Archers whilst preparing.<BR/>I also prepare Cat Chloe`s raw fish supper and, our Rabbit, Rocket`s supper of, fresh basil leaves, apples and a carrot. Also Chico the Cockatiel has a slice of apple, whilst all this is going on.<BR/>Will e-mail you soon.<BR/><BR/>love Di. xxxTrubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297883125832619352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205754021811558638.post-4513776407186147702008-01-17T16:43:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:43:00.000-08:00truborama!

This is due to a car accident that I had. I was up in Cape Breton. i had a premonition in the morning that ,if i did not get out of Cape Breton before noon. Something awful would happen.<BR/><BR/>I was driving on a winding road around Kellys mt. when I was hit by a Suette Wind ( hurricane force winds that blow over the Highlands). Hit a patch of black ice and went up and over the guard rail and plunged over 60 feet up side down a cliff face. then rolled the car another 100 feet down the mt. slope. <BR/><BR/>I remember a trucker stopping and telling me to lock the car. It was a wreck. Next I woke up on a back board in a hospital in Antigonish.<BR/><BR/>you know the irony of it all. I was selling accident and disability insurance. My mother- in-law came to the hospital and said to me " Son the Devil looks after his own" So I patted her hand and " Thanked her for looking after me." <BR/><BR/>It was my sense of humor and faith that has helped me get on with life. I take pain killers every day. Even with them i still have to suffer with pain scale <BR/>of 7. ( 10) being the worst.<BR/><BR/>The cortisone injections do work wonders. It does get easier and after dropping almost 60 lbs. I have my life back although i am not able to work any more and do have to watch what I do.<BR/><BR/>Good luck. Should you wish to talk I am on skype and would be happy to listen.The Old Tarfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338685538300669914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205754021811558638.post-5249141182951144092008-01-15T02:59:00.000-08:002008-01-15T02:59:00.000-08:00I am so sorry to read of your back pain and the dx...I am so sorry to read of your back pain and the dx but at least you now know your enemy.
