Flumes Journal....

Fantastic Eycky!!!!

No doubt it will be your best concert in your lifetime! I cant imagine Bocelli in concert. Lucky you!

Enjoy! <you lucky dawg!>
 
G'day mates!

Sometime Wednesday nite, I pinched a nerve in my neck. This kept me up for the past two nites with restless sleep. Chiropractor got me off work for the weekend so thats a good thing....wish he cold make the damn pain go away tho. Hard drinkin beer when you can't tilt your head back! lol j/k

On another rough note...to the much sadness of our kids, Hammy passed away. Yup, our beloved hamster of almost four years. (I'm sure it broke a world record.) Hopefully he found his playmate, Whiskey (Whiskers as the kids called her) in hamster heaven.

On the flip side, yesterday was my wife's bday. So I made sure she had a great day and made her breakfast (just coffee and cereal) lunch (corned beef on rye and chicken noodle soup)and supper (beef short ribs ((her fave)) garden green beans, corn on the cob, and baked potatoes).
And I ate too much (again). The kids and I baked her a double layer chocolate cake with buttercream/milk chocolate icing. (I'll post a pic later) The worst looking cake I've ever seen...but it still tasted good lol. The candles set off the smoke alarm when they were blown out....kids roared with laghter! lol

And what did we buy her???....A sauna wrap from me, 2 camosals <sp> and matching pj bottoms from the dogs, and the kids got her bubble bath and Wii Fit+. She was thrilled.

Today, is another day so I am back on track. Unfortunately, my neck is sooo sore, my head is aching and I cant run/exercise let alone sleep. So hopefully it passes soon. I bought a heating pad and a cervical collar to see if that helps. Now I'm going to relax and hopefully crash for a much needed nap.

Have a great day!

I hope your feeling a bit better now, sounds really painful.
You'll have great fun with the Wii fit. There are great games on it to do with all the family. :)
 
Hi guys.

Not myself lately. My neck pain has not subsided and now its causing a pulsating ache in the rear left hemisphere of my head. I'm pretty nervous cause it feels liek pressure, causing my ear to ache and making chewing difficult. This has been going on since early hours Thursday.

I've never felt anything like it.

I hope you are all doing well, (thanks for the wellwishes) and hope to follow up on your journals soon. Just dont have much concentration right now.

Going to emerg in the early am and lookin forward to some exrays and meds for pain.

Take care guys!
 
That sounds really painful. I hope they manage to get you out of pain soon. Sending hugs your way and I let us know how you get on at the hospital as soon as you can as we will all be worrying about you.
 
Just got back from the hospital.....went there by ambulance at 5:00 am to make sure I got attention lol.

So after prodding and poking and a CAT scan, it looks like its just a pulled neck muscle.

The bad news is it will take a while to heal. The doc gave me a shot of some pretty good pain relief and I feel very good right now....but am worried as soon as it wears off, I will be back in pain.

I did get a script for some pain relievers so hop ethat keeps me in check.

On a good note...KISS (the band) is in town tomorrow night and I got tickets for the whole family. I also bought makeup so we are planning on going all donned in favourite characters. Sould be a hoot.

Hope you all are doing well....should be online tommorrow to check journals and such. Take care!
 
OUCHIES! Sounds like things aren't going too well for you. I have been there, done that, and DO NOT care to do it again! It always amazes me that it seems like necs gets messed up so easily (just from sleeping wrong sometimes) and it takes FOREVER to feel back to normal! I'm so lucky that my sister is a physical therapist now - when that kind of thing happens to me I just head over to her. She does an ultrasound treatment to help relax the muscles and relieves soreness. I can't believe how much faster I get back to normal when she does that compared to trying to let it heal on my own.

Found out last fall when I broke my arm that I'm one of the lucky people to be loose jointed (what ever the heck that means!) so I'm prone to injuries where my back/neck goes out of place easily. Hope that's not the case with you though - it sucks!

Feel better soon!!!
 
Glad it's not anything worse even though it's a lot of pain for you. Kiss concert sounds like fun. Post a picture of yourself all painted up.:D
 
Evenin kids! Just got back from the KISS concert. It was better than I could have imagined. Lots hits, great sound and lots of fire and explosions :D

Here's a pic of the fam gettin ready lol.

And other than my neck being slightly less sore, nothing new to report here.
Weight is steady and food is pretty much the same.

Workin nites for the next couple of shifts....then off for another week.

Have a great day!
 
That sounds like a lot of fun and the makeup looks great. :)
I'm glad that the neck is impoving and you aren't in so much pain.
 
Hi guys.

On dialup here,(which is like watching paint dry in the fog). Sorry if I didnt get to alot of diaries.

Neck is marginally better.

Diet is marginally worse.

And vacation is #$&^*!@# awesome!

Other than that...nothing new to report. Have a great day!
 
Ugh! Evil dial up! I couldn't stand it when we had it! Thank goodness they put up wireless towers in our area in the last few years!

Enjoy your vacation - they always seem to be over way too soon.
 
Hey Flumes, sorry to hear about the injury. Hope your neck is feeling better!!

Concert sounded like fun, love the pic!! :D

Thanks Lucy! And thanks for droppin by! Yes the concert was friggin fantastic!


So yesterday and today was pretty good food wise. I had a chickensalad wrap for dinner last nite and a can of tuna for a snack after.

Today, I had another chicken wrap...(last nites was soooooo good I think I dreamed about eating a dozen of them).

We have cucumbers from hell in the garden. There is sooo many and they gotta be on steroids. Seems like we can't pick them quick enuff! But I love em!

I'm doing a bit of work on the cottage garage and swimming a fair bit so thats about it for exercise. My neck doesnt want to thake the pounding of running yet. (At least the headaches are gone.....I'm at about 50% feelin better.) I bet I'll be good as new once my hiolidays are over <rolls eyes>

So thats bout it in a nutshell. Hope yas all are doing great (as usual).

Gonna scribble in a couple more threads and then bask in some sun before t-storms come.

Take care!

Wow, I'm really sorry that your neck is still hurting but I'm happy that it's improving, as well. Swimming is really great for some activity when you're injured (and just really great in general because it's so much fun).

I hope you completely recover before the end of the holidays and have an opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest pain-free. :)

Happy basking! :)
