@Sturgis,
Good Morning all.
I often wonder how people can actually do that. Walk on a bed of nails, I know it's mind over matter but I would be going more than Argh, if I attempted that..
Okay, back at ya. I googled it last night and saw the pictures and got the picture, in-fact I am pretty sure the picture is still in my head, can't shake it.
I don't think any of us mind having something wrong but sheez Sturgis 9 months or so (up to) in the healing process? And, then as Von stated, she obviously googled it too
Caring witches we are, you have to balance diet and exercise to try to keep it at bay... That's a horrid amount of time and care, so sorry to hear this.
Keep walking even if you think it doesn't help and it's hard to walk, I swear that walking (exercise) is good for all of us, regardless.
As a smoker (pftttt) which I really need to squash soon, perhaps I will start the gym, about to write a post it sticker, as a new must do... Anyways, I am more than aware of the blood circulation in my legs when I smoke too many through what I will call stress, (ful day) and I massage my feet when I get worried lols. But, in any event is that part of the treatment? If not, could it be?
I now get your understanding when Dutchy went to hospital about the blood not circulating in his leg.. You both have something, somewhat in common and both have been in and out of hospital of sorts for months, from January.
You sure you two are not related?
I am glad that you get to use your intelligence in conversation with the Doctors/Nurses, I guess there is always a positive with a negative, actually there is always a positive in a negative
Imagination is wicked, visualisation, creation, all of them. At 11, designing maps and locations ... Sounds as if you should have been an Architect to be honest. Sometimes we miss our calling
What did you become after 11?
Your meal sounded perfect to me. I am a great mash potato fan. Potatoes are great how ever you cook them, but as a mash yum. Have you ever tried dicing small, red onions or white, and putting that in with the mash? Adds a different texture and taste to it... I am not a fish lover to be honest, unless it's grilled to death almost takes like chicken lols. Or I will always love, battered fish from the fish and chip shop. I just visualised the owner bashing the fish first lols.
Have you ever tried stuffed peppers? Mince meat, rice, herbs, tomatoes (see I use the e, when us Aussies does spell tomatos with an e or potatos. )
Then you just cut the pepper and fill it with, well the filling, add oil and tomato paste/water or bottled tomatos to the oven dish and leave it in the oven until cooked through, spooning the liquid over every 10 mins...
I know, this is not a recipe thread. Wait a minute, it is FIRST WORD OR CHAT... I'm chatting so pftttttttttttttttttttttt
I never drink coffee at night. Mr Sturgis, don't you realise that is why you are awake at midnight EVERY NIGHT?
Tut, tut, water please.. It is better for you and your legs need it as well.
It is true, I confess. I mean I am engaged to a Chef. Maybe it's about creativity. I know Von once said she loves presentation and everyone loves her presentation of food. I am a lot the same. It's about colour, height, looking good, but I am a good Cook, would think I would have to be having spent 17 years in the Hospitality Industry, some of the dishes those Italian Mummas taught me, I still use today. But, yes, I guess it's about people with passion and creativity.
I also once had a black cat. Given that I will not replace Bigsy, yesterday, we bought a black fish lols. Already had a little ginger and white one, he needed company, I chose black
Remember though I am a white witch so it's all good. No evil spells on my end... Only ever, good spells though I can't spell. But, you know
Licorice is also black !!!!! Mmmm... Something in that?
Von, I am glad your computer is going well and you are enjoying it, I am changing my phone on Friday, to a larger model, with aps, I have no idea what I will be doing, but David is going to teach me...
Apparently I can take a photo and it up-loads automatically to people I've added something like that, Instrigram or something... I'll just be happy to work out how to answer it and call out lols.
Dutchy keep your chin up, like I said.
Sturgis, please keep us posted no graphics, I still have that picture in my mind, so you know
But, I am hoping that over the next week or so it just gets better and better and so, you can concentrate on recovery instead of ouch or itching or oozing...
HUGS
Oh, me sensitive? I don't know if that describes me well. Pretty tough ol bird
