Sudokuaholics Anonymous 5

And yeah, for me the acupuncture is some of the most profound help I've had for my back. I blew out a disc @ L5-S1 in 94. Four months later I had back surgery and got back to full duty. I was eventually (about 7 years later) retired out because my back had deteriated to a point I could no longer perform the duties. I could do the work for the most part, but I had a lot of trouble with the calls in the middle of the night. My back would be so stiff and I had no strength until I was up and around for about 30 minutes...and you don't have that kind of time on emergency calls.

and over the TOPP (wasn't paying attention!)

NO WONDER I TOPPed so easily! CynB! I didn't see you post while I was writing that long monologue!
Sorry - snuck in without knowing I was in a race!

Hi Vici - after I got #8000, I thought I wouldn't try to TOPP as well.
Now I'm going to look at you acapuncture pics.
Rolanda - I need your brilliant IT sons here sometimes. Do you think they'd like a tour around to assist all your cyber buddies??

Just realized 2 of the 3 pics are pretty blurry - oh well, they were just for kicks, anyway.
Cyn - any chance you'll have those chickens out of there by Monday???

Interesting - left a few posts on pics - and realised that I spelled it incorrectly - acupuncture.

Vici - waiting on a call from my solicitor as we speak. Should know for sure today.

Fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes crossed for you, Cyn - I'm in a knot! Oh how I hope it's all good news and no delays!

You know, Cyn, those toenail actualy look pretty ratty right now - guess I'm glad the picture if fuzzy cause it makes the nails look better! The needles are very fine and I don't feel them at all. But I feel pretty euphoric after the treatment and fall asleep easily when the needles are in.

Vici - Just got the call and she can't contact the buyers solicitor - he's in court. If you're in a knot, imagine what it's like for me. I've never had high blood pressure but I'm sure I'm about to explode!! I am so impatient. I hate waiting. It won't fall through but I just need it to happen and soon!

Looking at all those spelling errors in my last post, I must be getting too tired. That, or it's my laptop keyboard...certainly not MOI!
Think I'll call it a night friends.

Oh Cyn - not gone yet...how hard has this waiting been on you guys? I can't EVEN imagine!

Cyn - I'm gonna sleep in a knot for good measure!
Hope you get the call before the end of your day.
Will read up tomorrow a.m. in hopes of getting good news from you!

Hi CynB and Vici. I don't know how many pages I've missed. sorry to hear about your back, Vici. I'll go back a few pages to catch up on you all.

Dino - thank you for your well wishes. I've learned to live with the slight disability and am grateful I can be as active as I am.
I love your red sunflower avatar, BTW.

OK - now I'm really going to sign off - honest! Hugs to you all.

g'nite, Vici Happy dreams

Sweet dreams, Vici!

Hi Heidi. how have you been?Did you get to the bottom of your health probs?

Nite Vici!

Everybody. Vici had a great idea!
I'm feeling a bit better, Dino. I'm not sure what was wrong, but my Doc put my on Flagyl, which is for protazoan parasites, and it helped. I'm not back 100% yet, though.

g'nite Vici

No posts for an hour and a half. Testing!

Nope, still works. I'll come back later. Dinner and TV for me for a while.

No posts still??

Well shall fling some food at me and Bella, back later too!

Evening all!

I hope Tricia has heard from her daughter by now. I'm sure it's the power outage that is causing the problem, but that doesn't help when you are worried!!!

Hi Dino! Nice to see you again...

Vici - what did you retire from??

Heidi - hope you feel better soon!

Gail - hope today was 'episode' free.

Rolanda - hope your appointment went well.

Mamacita - I'm glad to hear your middle grand is just bored and not hurt! It sounds like they are not in danger, thank goodness...

Hi everyone, hope your all having a good night

Yes Suzy the appointment went well..

Today I had a mole removed from my right (front) shoulder.
Stitches are removed in 2 weeks.
Must still be a bit numb, because it is not hurting.

BEAN have you made your appointment yet???

Glad to hear it Rolanda - maybe you'll get to sleep through the worst of it.

Yeah Bean - I'll join the nag. Though you did say you're taking care of it, so I will only nag a little...

Hi Liz!

Yeah Rola!, hey Bean did you hear that?

Night everyone! I have had a very uneventful day so have nothing interesting to share. I am sending out thoughts and wishes to those waiting for news, feeling unwell etc....

Have a wonderful evening!

Sorry...can't hear you....fingers in my ears.....must be time we turned the page!!!

I went to the docs to have a mole removed that used to annoy the bejeebies out of me under my bra strap, while the doc was removing it he said do you mind if I remove this one on your belly, that was just a bit below the other one, it turned out to be a local cancer,I would never have gone to the docs to have it removed if not for the other one, Lucky me hey

To answer Suzy's question, still have not heard from Daughter in Membourne. I have sent out e-mail to her work. We usually get auto reply when she is not at her desk, like at 5 am, but did not get that today. I am thinking power outage at her work perhaps? and knowing that daughter, her cell phone would not be fully charged when the power went out, either. So we wait and wonder. Flooding is about the worst could be going on, and it is still raining there over night. So she could be a bit wet. But I figure if injured, we would have been notified, so no news is good news on that score.

No, this daughter does not have children. well, unless you count her partner, he is very childish most of the time!

Amen to that sister.
Lucky us!

Hey Dag, how is little dag...sorry elephant going?
