What's on your agenda for today?

I'm up but not quite at 'em yet. A busy day ahead. I have to be at work at 7...and when the day is done? I have a day off tomorrow! Woohoo and stuff:)
 

Thanks for your concern, my problem pales in comparison to what others are dealing with. I plan to take an extra BP pill about three hours before my appointment and monitor it beforehand...
 
a little this a little that, a little work a little play....on the way to a perfect day....

BTW, oldman, if you think this is bunk, more power to you and yours. Pain is relative. Try 8 of these in one session remember that comes to 16 needles, one for the anesthetic then the facet injection

This one shows with the anesthetic being administered first.

I never mentioned anything about being "bunk." I just stated that I don't get anesthesia. I see that you are In Palm Harbor. I own a place right across the street from the Countryside Mall, but I have my otho here in PA. I usually get three shots on each side of the facets. I just never figured out why I get the lidocaine. It never seemed to help that much. The doctor does the injections using a fluoroscope, so that he can see the placement of the needle. If you are trying to convince that what you have done is worse, fine, you win. I really don't care. I was just letting you know how I get my injections, not competing with you.
 
QS I can understand exactly what you are saying. I was looking forward to Fritos after mine. Did not happen. Felt like my mouth was all teeth.
I have a lady coming in a few minutes to help decide which Medicare Prescription Plan is best for hubby and I. Free service and since we have had the same one for 5 years. I thought she might have something cheaper and just as good.

Nope, not in competition, I wasn't the one bringing up taking a bullet as a comparison; believe me, I could have brought up lots of past experiences of injuries I've endured, but I wasn't trying to compare, I was just stating the experience when I first went for the procedure was painful for me and from there on, I prefer to have a sedative as I am also have a bit of a needle phobia. Generally, I have a very high pain tolerance, but when it comes to this procedure being too conscious and knowing what's going on around me with the needles just escalates my anxiety. So for me the sedative is beneficial to all involved.

Sorry you took this to be some sort of attack on your, well I'm not even sure what. But I have nothing but good will toward you as far as this discussion and was trying to convey that what may be less painful for one may not be so for others. There are women that could say childbirth wasn't so bad for them and others that can say a whole lot different, including myself, so as I said it's all relative to the individual.
 
Not to be off topic.....

But on my agenda today....went to the gym, then got a haircut (happy with it), then a flu jag (shot).

Sounds like a great plan. :dontworry: I need to follow suit, I probably need less net time in order to do that. LOL

Me too. I'd be a lot more constructive and get more books read if I got my butt off this computer. However, someone once said, nothing is a waste of time if you're enjoying yourself.
 
Oh, my. Yesterday I dropped my phone and broke it to the tune of a $209 repair. Not gonna happen. Ordered a new phone with next day delivery. $14.95. This is the "next day"...phone company website says "processing". And I paid $14.95 why?

But tomorrow is a day off. Yay.

If the site is Amazon, the processing thing will be there forever even till it arrives at your door sometimes. The site has changed the way they show information these days and it's quite a nuisance, but generally, things arrive as stated. I hope you get your item in a timely manner from whomever promised.

I on the other hand didn't keep my own promise to self to get off the net and relax to a good book and just let it all go. Time I do that. :yeahright: Well, I'm going to make the effort.
 
April, it's AT&T. Gotta stick with 'em...I'm an AT&T retiree and want those pension checks to keep rolling in on the first of the month! However, I'm on DD/DSIL's family plan...he's on his way home from work right now and is going to try to cancel it and reorder. Fingers crossed.

ETA: No luck with cancellation. Should be here tomorrow. They should at least refund the $14.95 for "someday" delivery! Oh, well, at least I'll have my electronic appendage back.
 
Here it is, morning again. And if I'm really lucky, a new phone will appear on my doorstep. Why is it that for days on end it doesn't ring and doesn't bother me a bit, but if I haven't got it, I whine and whine? LOL

Ameriscot, when is it that you are actually leaving on your trip? In my experience, the more I plan, the more likely I am to leave behind something I really, really needed!
 
Good morning. :) Nearly lunchtime here. Finished my 'at-home-muscle-workout' and am working on seriously getting my luggage sorted out so I can weigh it and cross my fingers it will be under 30kg/66lbs. I've talked hubby, the minimal packer, into carrying my netbook and 3 bottles of sunscreen.
 
Good Morning all......ah an upcoming trip, always fun to plan, I know what you mean Georgia about the phone, mine may not ring for a week, but I keep it by my side just in case..lol

Today I'm going with my friend, she is shopping for a new car, so we will do that and have lunch, tonight I babysit with my 2 year old grandson.

Leaving two weeks from today. I don't trust my memory so I always have packing lists and tick things off when they are packed.
 
Our friend's Son, Paul is stopping by this morning for doughnuts. He is 28, and has been in Northern Sweden for two years, with Youth With A Mission. Before he left, we stopped by with Dunkin Doughnuts, that I relabeled to read "Dunkin Munks". He is a fine young man, and we will enjoy seeing him again!
 
Love your signature line, Pappy. Ain't it the truth? LOL

Meanderer, enjoy your visit. It's nice to visit with "youngsters" who are on the right path. Gives us all hope for the future:)

Ameriscot...just make sure you keep track of the lists!!!!
 
Good morning all, 8:23 am here. Seems many of you have a busy day ahead.

GXP, ain't that always the way, when you don't have it you miss it more; I barely glance at my phone, but the other week, I didn't see it in it's usual spot, this is like 12 or more hours into the next day and suddenly I was in a panic. I knew it wasn't around my place, because I called it from my computer and didn't hear the ring, was calling every place I last visited, then it dawned on me. I made a call the other day, check the garbage. Yep, I am a clutz and can't put anything of value near my bedside or it usually ends up in the garbage. Good thing the bag I took out was at the top of the dumpster. Duh me. I lost a camera this way and who knows how many other things.

Ameriscot, ah, anticipation, getting closer and closer to the date. Very smart to have that packing list and be sure to do a last minute check off. Seems for me, like GeogiaXP, I still end up leaving something no matter the planning I do.

Jackie have fun with the little grandson. I wish I had a little one to indulge and then send back to their ward. :D

Hey Meanderer, Sounds like a great young man. If you have any doughnuts left over toss one my way.

Pappy, your day sounds busy enough. I'm going to get off the net in a few minutes, as I have some errands to run as well. The weather is beautiful here, I'm glad I'll get a chance to romp in it.

You all have a great day.

LOL, April, one time I put a skillet of grease in the trash, upside down to empty the grease out and then forgot it.....yeap...trash man took my garbage with my $50 skillet.
 
April and Jackie...so glad I'm not the only one who does goofy stuff. I don't think it has anything to do with age; I did goofy stuff long before I got old!
 
This just in...breaking news! Just notified that my phone has been shipped and left Memphis at 3 pm. WTH? Next day? AT&T is going to refund the charge for next day delivery (as well they should!).

I hear my dead phone ring, hear the tone that I've got a text, and I can't answer it or see who's calling. Can't even turn the damned thing off. Any other time, the battery would be dead by now. Sheesh!
