Is the EMG like acupuncture? I have neuropathy (self-diagnosed) in both feet. When I get back I want some advice from a doctor. I don't know whether an EMG would work but my ability to flex my toes and foot may be a starting point.
Pan wants to see snow. But... this isn't the proper season! Why he didn't mention this in December or January... Snow is fickle. Remember the Great Lakes? Can you imagine a walk with big flakes, through a foot or two of fresh fall, slugging through slush, negotiating ice, below zero and sparkling crystals, a blizzard!
I may be back in early May. If I lived anywhere near Roundup we could go somewhere for coffee. That's what I really miss in my life.
I second Kåre Enga in Udon Thani on warmth to the hand. I was told after initially using cold to stop swelling, then heat helps the tissues. Then again, I didn't break anything last year, just pulled something that would pinch a nerve and give a knife stabbing pain. Of course I use the old saying from a doctor when a patient said it hurts when he does this. "Don't do that."
Once winter leaves, things will perk up. Congrats on the publications. I'll keep watching for the NYT to pick one up with your byline.
Having more than one issue makes it much harder. Which to do first, which is most important, which will just have to wait, which needs to be let go of.
I was fortunate that my elbow never gave me much pain, didn't constrict my movements, and slowly heals after weeks.
I have neuropathy and circulation problems, especially in my feet. Rubbing does help some. Soaking in hot water is heavenly.
Frozen fog outside... the dry air inside... everything's bothering me... I'm between time zones too. Even my anxiety floats around barely attached to reality.
At least you have some good news and a mystery. Wonder if those two events could be woven into a fictional story set in a small town where the seasons change daily... hmmm...
Does it make anybody else crazy when you see misspelled words on a sign? How about in print? On a newscast? I swear, with all the computer programs out there, I don't know why anyone would, or could, misspell words these days.
Just the other day I walked by a shop in town. This shop is new. Great! I read further down the hand-written sign. "Come in to veiw our new shop." Arggh. Then there was this. "Get our advise on flower arrangements." Double aargh. Come on people. If you are making a sign and people are going to read it, maybe you should check the spelling and usage of the words first? Would you do that? I would.
But maybe we are too lazy these days. I mean, they don't even teach writing in school anymore, and by what I am seeing, spelling and grammar have also fallen by the wayside.
I think it is a sad commentary. Fine to keep the lazy spelling and grammar in a story for a character but in real life, we should be precise. Or am I just getting to be a cranky old person? Probably.....
