Painful Christmas

[Freebird]

Yes, it may come to that. Right now I just have some prescription pain pills that I take when i have to. I try not to take them and usually wait too long before I do. I had blood tests last week and Uric acid was high but only slightly. I'm keeping a watch on it.

[dragerman]

The good thing is that you won't have to cook supper for tomorrow!

 

I'm glad you weren't hurt worse then you were... it may be a poor consolation but besides the ham you still have ‘us’!

 

Get better soon my friend!!

[Twenty7Delta]

I hope you are feeling better soon!!!

 

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

 

(p.s. the bubble wrap may be a good idea)

[Aimhigh]

I actually DO have a bottle of that as well as a bottle of Bailey's Caramel sitting beside the coffee pot. I'm almost scared to try it though. Heck....I'm falling down WITHOUT any alcohol.

 

 

It won't keep you from falling down...but at least you won't feel it as much. Sorry you are having so much trouble...hope things start going better for you.

[DragonRider]

Well Don sorry to hear about your spell of bad luck or bad karma........looks as though that spell Dan cast on some poor unlucky soul to rid himself of all that bad Karma/bad luck found a new home..............word of warning........stay away from the pond..........PLEASE!!!! I would make sure and get the extra heavy duty bubble wrap if I were you............

[Kirby]

Hey Don, Sorry about the bad luck. Ditto on the Allopurinol!!! Get it, take it every day until St. Pete calls you home.(That's what my Dr. told me) It's suppose to even help eliminate kidney stones!! Been taking it for several months now and haven't had a problem with gout since. BTW, just in case, you don't get the medication, don't cut the heel shifter off of the bike. You can get in some riding with the heel and toe shifter if the gout isn't too bad in the ankles. Get well my friend!!

[Kregerdoodle]

Sorry to hear of your mis-hap Don, Glad you didn`t get hurt worse... The Hot tub thing sounds like the way to go , but you had better wear your Foaties!!!

 

Hope you feel better soon!!

Man that ends this year with a BANG Wishing you and your family a better 2010:fingers-crossed-emo

[1BigDog]

Don, i've been down that steep staircase of yours and its no fun. I had a hard enough time with my arthritis going up and down there so I can definitely feel your pain. Glad you didnt hurt yourself worse. Maybe its time to add a banister to those steps in the garage too.

 

Heres hoping that 2010 will be much better for you........

[BuddyRich]

Hey Don, Next time toss the ham and land on your feet. Hams are cheap...

When falling always jump.

Hi Don,

I am so sorry to hear about your mishap. I hope you heal up quickly. You know that I am a nurse, so as much as I would like to come up there to help heal you, I am unable to get there this week. However, I have asked a nurse friend of mine, and she has agreed to come and heal your aches and pains.

Her name is nurse Helga. Please make her feel at home. I have enclosed a photo of her.

I think Helga will get Don up and going quickly.

Boy Don, that really was a LARGE bug-splat on your screen Make that a lot of bubblewrap!!

I can't send someone as good as nurse Helga

but can send nurse Shirley and flowers.

[Guest Ken8143]

Don I am so sorry for your troubles. You got at least tripple splatted. Hope the hot tub and the adult beverages help you to feel the pain less acutely.

 

Nurse Helga - dang - she does not look the sympathetic type. I pity you if she shows up at your house. Tell her to take a walk around the pond first. or to mow the edge. or to look up the swamp monster. That may take the twinkle out of her eye.

[halfwitt]

2010 will be a great year for you Don! Sorry you had a painful Christmas. Like I tell my kids, "It'll make for a better biography: Chapter 12, Free Fall at Christmas"

[Freebird]

I don't know....I'm thinking that nurse Helga is going to help a LOT and will add even more to the story.

[Marcarl]

The nurse will probably tell you that you should have read the rules first.

Rule #1, YOU EAT THE DANGED HAM FIRST, then there are no leftovers!!!!!!

 

Sorry boss, but rules are rules and you must learn them,,, sometimes the hard way.

 

Hope you feels better real soon. Had Marca with the gout for two days before Christmas. Things were going real well for her. looked like a Christmas with no cold or flu to deal with,, but gout came along for a ride, so we had to deal with that. It's good now, took a little medicine to fix it quick.

God Bless you my friend

In Nurse Helga's defense, she has been known for her excellent bedside care. She has been able to make patients feel better just by using her nursing skills of which she was trained for, well actually usually just by entering the room usually takes care of it.

Whatever the Nurse's name may be I know for a fact that a HOT Nurse works wonders for the healing process of a red-blooded American male.

 

Boomer....who says always check out the Nurses before ya check in to a Horsepital cuz no good man deserves a Nurse Ratchette.

[Yama Mama]

You are so right. I am a nurse with hot flashes, and my patients seem to enjoy the extra warmth I give them.
