Good News,Bad News Friday

How are you feeling now? The fever will go away really quick since that is due to the shots. @DaddyEvil

@Marilynda1225 Oh, yeah, I quite sure of that! Pretty has been babying me today. Thank goodness!

My fingers are crossed that my daughter heals quickly too. She does so much for me that it's been a bit rough having her "off her feet" I don't blame you for getting both shots on the same day. Much better to deal with the side effects than on two separate trips. Hope you're feeling good quickly

She's been using a bag of peas too and yes they work really well. Hope you're feeling better too Carol as each day goes by

@CarolDM more good days is good and pretty soon your good days will out-number the bad ones

@Marilynda1225 Good for her. I have more good days but still a few hiccups along the way. Thanks for the support.

I hope your wife is doing better now. I was afraid the same thng would be the solution for my daughter but thankfully it's just over-exertion and her knee should get better with rest and icing it.

@Marilynda1225 yes she is well now. She had surgery around 10 years back.

She's doing her best but it's hard especially since she still has to work and sit at her desk all day long She does take breaks to elevate it and ice it and I'm really hoping and praying that it heals quickly.

So she does not get any time off due to injuries?

@rebelann she is entitled to time off but since she works from home it doesn't make any sense for her to take off.

@Marilynda1225 I was in pain for a while and when finally I had physical therapy I could walk again without pain.

@LadyDuck physical therapy is a good option and Im glad it helped you when you were in so much pain. I've had back issues from when I was young and it's horrible when back pain flares up.

She'll have to check back with her doctor so if it doesn't seem to be getting better he might suggest physical therapy. Right now she's supposed to stay off it as much as possible, ice it and take pain medications.

You're right. Pain is pain and most of us deal with it one way or another. Sorry to hear that you suffer from chronic back pain. I've pulled my back out and it's horrible.

@porwest I'm with you on that one. I could use a few replacement pars myself

@Marilynda1225 If they ever find a way to make complete replacement parts for old, worn out bodies...or better yet, just plop my brain into a new one altogether. lol

@Marilynda1225 haha oh my that would be funny

We were actually laughing about getting one of those inflatable hot tubs and putting it in the living room

It was a big relief knowing that it's not something more serious and with rest it will heal on it's own

@Marilynda1225 Oh that is good, I'm glad that she has the brace. Our daughter-in-law has to wear a brace on her left wrist as she has hurt it similar to your daughter, hers is from holding those butterball-sized babies. We are not doing alot this weekend, he really needs physical rest. This morning we went out for breakfast, he loves breakfast out, then we went out to Apple Land Station. Its an orchard outside of town. They take you out to the orchard on a little train and drop you off so that you can pick your own. We each picked a bag in just minutes. I picked a bag of Zestar, which are a baking apple, and he picked a bag of early macs. He ate one already this afternoon and plans on taking them for his lunches in the weeks to come. That is good, as it will save a little on the grocery bill, and I will take every little bit where I can find it. This afternoon I let him rest and I went shopping. Its back to the office shopping. Eventually I will need to return and I cannot think of how many outfits that I will need to buy, so I started today. I bought a really nice pair of black plaid pants, they have a grey background and just a hint of a jeweled purple in them. I found a jeweled coloured purple t-shirt at my favorite t-shirt place for just a few dollars, and will buy a dressy long sleeved black sweater that I saw that ties at the chest. It will be dressy enough even though there is no collar on the sweater or the t-shirt.

She got a brace and it seems to help. The doctor said it's inflamed from over-exertion and that it will heal with rest and icing it. Hope you and your hubby enjoy this long weekend and that you've enjoyed not having to work this week

Thank you! I hope so too

Sometimes hobbling around is a pain in itself.but with rest she'll be ok. I"m just happy it wasn't anything more serious.

@Marilynda1225 Be thankful for small mercies and all that!

Hope things are going good with you and your hubby is feeling better. Nothing much going on here. Yes I'm really happy my daughters knee wasn't seriously hurt and rest will help her heal.

@Marilynda1225 Hubs is tired and in quite a bit of pain. He's also dizzy which is probably his getting used to the new dosages of his meds. Thanks for asking.

She was away for a few days with her friends and when she stood up it just felt sore and she couldn't move it. They had been doing a lot of walking and I guess her knee just had enough

doctor said it was probably over-exertion

the Covid pandemic certainly has interrupted our lives for way too long. Sorry to hear that you're having a difficult time getting food and vegetables. We've had shortages on different items but our stores haven't closed

It was a relief to hear it's only inflamed from being over-exerted and that it will heal with rest

Hope you enjoy your Bad Seed on Monday. Your book does sound pretty eerie and chilling.

Love your analogy about Can't Hurry Healing (so true) Doctor said she over-extended it and it will take time to heal. Rest and ice. I'm going to suggest she uses a pillow between her knees. Thanks for the idea. I'm sure it will help

I'm also hoping it's something that heals quicker rather than slower. I'm just glad it wasn't something more serious
