We're waiting......

What did Andy have for breakfast?

I had nada at home. Blood work done this morning, then I hiked to the
golden arches and ate a BLT meal. The sandwich was crap. Cool
bagel. Over crisp bacon. Was there tomato on it? I think so. I
hadn't gone there for about a year. Now I'll have to punish them and
wait another year before I go again.
Tomorrow, I won't be having any breaky either. I'm gonna get nuked in
a machine at the sick house.

I'm getting my stomach done. Not much of an appetite, and I always
feel full when eating 'normal' amounts of food; I feel full for many
hours; sometimes 24 hours. Food still tastes great though.
Probably diabetic complication. Haven't been eating right.

Bummer. Keep us posted and I hope your results are better than mine
were! :-)

At least they gave you something to eat!

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Just chronic pain. ;-) Even with planned surgery, I can't expect more
than an 80% recovery of function and reduction in chronic pain. A full
thickness tendon tear in the rotator cuff (supraspinatus) has been no
fun so far.

So long as it helps you get better, that's all that matters!

It would be good to have your pain eliminated by whatever. I often
wonder, with chronic pain, how is the sleeping? Or is your pain being
managed by drugs for now?

Hmm, I would recommend yoose generously endowed gals first try a
better fitting stronger bra.

Series of naps. No real sleep. That's been the problem.

We'll see tonight if the Tramadol works when I finally get tired enough
to try sleeping again. I finally gave in and picked up a pain 'srip a
couple of hours ago.

Awake, it's not so bad. All I have to do is avoid lifting, or moving
"wrong". Sleeping is a problem as lying down puts pressure on my
shoulders and that hurts. Bad. I have actually tried sleeping sitting up.

That's not going to help a torn rotator cuff dear... but thanks for
caring. <g>

Huh? What's wrong with you? Om just told you, can't you frickin'
read??? "How's it going Om?" She's in pain, shit for brains, sheesh!

Om, ask your MD for some pain pills... if too late try a couple stiff
pink grapefruit with Crystal Palace until you can get to them in the
AM. Pain sucks.

I'm asking how she is feeling now. Like her, I have chronic pain and it's
finally easing the current rendition after 2 weeks. You do not have this so
do not understand a support comment just asking how she is doing today.

Torn rotator cuffs from what I gather are no fun. Her's is worse than
average and she's pending surgery with at best 80% pain relief. I'm hoping
she's dealing with it ok.

If you want to be an asshole about it, do so. If however you just
misunderstood the query, rest at ease there was no intent to harm, just a
check on how she is doing and an offer of support if she wants it.
