If you wanted to twist that ear dagger in true D00M fashion, you’d post ‘ftw’

Go DM!

It's not a competition.
It's totally a competition.

Found a patch of poison oak on my chin, so I have that going for me. My wrists are now that lovely pinkish orange poison oak color complete with weeping blisters (Band Name!) They do itch. Good thing I'm wearing long sleeves and a wrist band to irritate the poison oak more.

Might have some on the nose, too, where I would push my glasses up. At least it's not itchy. The PO on the wrists are really red now. Lots of oozing blisters, too. Plenty of goo on the desk where I rest my wrists.

Maybe you're turning into the Man-Thing
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 02-18-2022
I think that Man-Thing ship has already sailed...
Just don't get any on your ass. Be careful when wiping.

So, the day before yesterday I had a close call with the storm door and almost fell. So yesterday I spent some time reflecting on my instability and a need to take extra precautions when moving about. To put it bluntly, a fall could end it for me.
So I resolved to be even more careful than I already am.
Then last night I wandered into LCF's room to chat with her. I was fussing with a newly-bought Prius FOB battery while doing so (impossibly packaged). At one point I took a step forward and jammed my toe on a low bench. That knocked me off balance, and I reached aside for hand support on a cabinet. There was some clutter on the floor, so I had to reach a ways, and suddenly my stocking feet slipped on the linoleum.
I went down hard. Like a rock. Freaked LCF out. I didn't have time to be freaked. I was just suddenly on the floor. I landed on my left hip. Also my left elbow. and my left knee. All are still sore. But not too sore. No bruising either. I was wearing an old black kung fu sweatshirt. The elbow got ripped out. That's a mystery. I figure that Satan had me hooked there by one horn, but somehow I broke free.
Anyway, I don't seem to be broken, so I probably shouldn't have posted this here. But if I wait until I am broken these days, I may not get the opportunity.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 03-07-2022
No. No more falling. I forbid it.
RE: I'm more broken than you - King Bob - 03-07-2022
I didn't fall although my hand looks like it. Yesterday I was cutting and breaking dead shoots off a big butterfly bush in the yard and when one broke I bruised the base of my left thumb. It hurt but didn't really swell or look bruised. This morning when I got to work the whole base of my thumb was bruised, wrapping around to the back of my hand a bit, and down onto my wrist on the inside. I was freaked out for a minute. Apparently my workout this morning made it much worse. That's never happened to me before. It reminded me of the aftermath of some of my mom's falls.

I was unscrewing the earthquake support fasteners to move a bookshelf tomorrow and cracked my skull on the top of the adjacent door frame as a stood on a chair to get the second screw. Damn that hurt. I was so mad. I just noticed that there’s a tender spot with a tiny bit of blood there now. Don’t think I’m concussed but now I’m wondering if i was, how would I even know?
At least I didn’t rip my KF shirt or bruise my thumb…

ttt in anticipation of Greg's limping diagnosis. I'm setting him up ftw.
I've been dealing with a new pain issue for the past week. It's actually my shoulder but it's radiating down my back and arm. I think I might have strained it at Dead & Co doing a stretcher carry off the lawn, and then triggered it wearing my weighted backpack to the dog park practicing for our upcoming trek. Been doing hot baths and muscle relaxants. Stacy did some work on it last night - it's seized up worse than I've ever had it before.
This growing old stuff sucks.

Don't forget to use Tiger Balm
RE: I'm more broken than you - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-28-2022
Can you take Advil? I’m not supposed to because of the bloodthinners. Last night, though, my knees were so bad after doing 9 pretty mobile lessons with no breaks that I shelved the warfarin and hit up the Advil. The anti-inflammatory dose (800mg every 8 hours) works.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 06-28-2022
Been alternating between ibuprofen & acetaminophen. Also did some cyclobenzaprine over the weekend but I'm past that now...
