So far I've had 2 shots, 1 in each arm muscle, and I had my lower back x-rayed.

And those shots hurt as they were deep in the muscles, I normally don't feel too much pain, but those were:

Holy Cataclysmic Batman

I've found that some nurses are better than others at injections. Some seem to ease the needle in with no pain others curve it in causing extreme pain. Hope it helps.

Both were supposed to go into the muscles, one was a steroid and the other was an nsaid called toradol.

Injecting into muscle is not something that happens to me everyday, it can be sore for a bit, but I'll live.

I'll take a pass on the hot sauce, I value my insides. Now that's what I call "it probably burns more coming out than going in!"

In any case I'm now home.

I can't blame you for avoiding that sauce. I tried it once, which was twice too often.
One alternative use I suggested was a means of cooking without flame or electricity - just (carefully) coat the outside of the saucepan with it (after putting the stuff you want to eat in it) and wait a few minutes. Hmmmm could this be an alternative fuel?

We made it to a steamy 28C (felt like 29C) today and it's a still steamy 22C (feels like 23C).

Anyhow I better go and prepare for tomorrow and losing the 3 last stitches.

Cheers.

Grey and breezy but no further rain.

Then again, there is the remains of lots of rain still looking for somewhere to drain away...

And all is beautifully quiet.

I made for a bit of a late escape yesterday and so I've taken a midway break on my way to Civilisation. Very good for a rest and recovery and improving the soul.

Breakfast may be delayed into the early afternoon!

My problems at the hospital were osteo-arthritis had spread to my left arm finally and an area of my lower back on my right side had gotten stiff and painful, which meant I got to have a nurse inject 2 shots deep into my arm muscles, 1 shot per arm, and yeah I felt both, like who punched me, my arms were sore for a bit.

I at least don't have rheumatoid arthritis.

OA was discovered in me in my 30's.

And of course I got to lay down an pose for some x-rays too, that was fun.

I million scoville rating! No thanks I will stick to my favorite Arizona Gunslinger Jalapeno Red?

Winning on a Monday morning in the highlands where a glow has begun in the east while it's a muggy18C with 27C our target for the day.

Anyhow it time for a coffee.

Cheers.

My nephew eats raw Jalapeno's, I'm not sure what his limit is, or maybe that should be his lower limit, mine is not as low, like Dr Who said what comes out...

I like Red Chili burritos, but my gut doesn't, even the purple bagged ElMonterey burritos give me trouble and seem hotter than the Red Chili type, I just had a purple with a mild Chimichanga to try and tame the beast a bit.

Mmmm... Raw jalapenos are ok. A good tasty splurge of fresh wasabi is good for clearing your nose... However I'm very happy to keep off the silly spicy hot stuff!! I prefer to enjoy my good food!


Meanwhile, I've arrived back in Civilisation. Very good to be back!

I just got back from a quick trip into town to get those 3 stitches and the medical centre can wait until sometime next year before they see me again.

Anyhow it's time for that 3rd coffee before I go and do the dishes followed by vacuuming downstairs and upstairs to get rid of the bits of PVC swarf that's all over the place after making those wicking tubs, then I may do a little bit outside as it's an overcast 22C ATM

Cheers.

I vacuumed this morning. Now drinking some tea.

I'm still in pain, just in my left elbow, I may need to go back to the ER, I have to get a video appointment for my Doctor as the LVN can't do diddly, the NP could, but I do need a video appointment, in person could be months.

It was a much better day here today though it did reach a steamy 25C (felt like 26C) and we're now down to 19C (feels like 18C) as a few showers begin to come in.

Well I didn't get my vacuuming done as seeing that it was such a cool overcast morning I decided to do the work outside 1st instead and by the I had finished out there my youngest daughter and her b/f arrived out of the blue so it was up the pub for a few drinks and a feed yacking away for a couple of hours.

Anyhow vacuuming can be done tomorrow and I'm ready to watch the inside of my eyelids.

Cheers.

The temps are dropping here again. Currently, it's 19f, the low was 15f and the high today will only be 40f. Might have to turn up the heat.

Winning on a Tuesday morning as the rain tumbles down and it's 18C with 27C expected.

Time to boil some rainwater.

Cheers.

Very good to be back in Civilisation...

But...

Time is flying far too fast! And that's without any storm winds... I'll just be getting used to enjoying myself again, and then it's back to the unhealthy desolation...

Meanwhile...

The delayed delivery turned up as originally promised. No delays. Ok... All good. All a game of expectations?

Overnight tests of some new working went well. Later tonight should run even smoother. Minor niggles require a bit of fixing here before I jump over to my alternate working in the Food Desert.

... Which leads into a bit of a rush...

I've already suffered too much rush/haste coming to grief with this stuff...
