 I have a headache and my neck hurts.  I've taken analgesics but if they don't kick in in the next 30 minutes or so, I'm seeing myself in bed WAY earlier than normal. 

My neck still hurts. Going to finish this cup of tea then go back to bed.

[mlooney 3,417]

In addition to my neck pains I've got body aches. Checks weather. Oh, that's why. Bummer.

Surprisingly, no. I lost one as well. Walked a bunch yesterday, maybe that's why?

Loosing weight

Had to weigh myself multiple times before I got a weight that was steady. My scale sucks.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Speaking from experience.

There are a lot of heavy humans.  But household scales that can reliably accomodate people over 250 lbs are expensive and unavailable at most retailers.

Even if the scale tops out at some high number, the accuracy tends to be questionable in the upper third and easily thrown by any movement or vibration.  If you happen to be coughing, forget it.

I know medical professionals have access to better equipment.  But the cost is hard to justify if you are not running a clinic.

Two things:

1. My new glasses are here. I'm having a bit of trouble getting used to them. First thought: "I'm too tall! I'm too tall!!!"

King Charles I had a similar problem.  You may not like Cromwell's solution.

Dropped a couple somehow. No complaints. Also, I'm stopping using the bold text, since I have to edit the source to get it to work now for some reason.

Just don't leave them lying around, or they'll fond their way back.

I've been cleared from supervision on the edema in my legs! I've been wearing regular compression stockings instead of Unna boots for the past few weeks, and my legs haven't rebounded on the edema side. I saw the Wound Care doctor who's been taking care of me on that yesterday, and he released me from regular checkups. So, now I can look forward to scheduling a pre-op appointment to get my torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder fixed soon. I just have one podiatrist appointment to get out of the way before I can do that.

[mlooney 3,417]

So good news?  Sounds like good news.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Podiatrist in the way?

Remember that sabotage is derrived from a French word for shoe.

I will not be involving any form of sabot in my plans.

I weighed 3 different times and got three different weights. I wound up going with the last weight out of sheer frustration. It wasn't even the lowest.

Note: March 11th's Chronicles were skipped because I was feeling like crap.

It's a good thing you were not feeling like carp, then you'd be a fish out of water.

That joke floundered.  It had no sole.  Before I clam up, tell us what lured you to cast a line like that?
