By cdwan, on April 19th, 2008 To continue on the shoulder saga:
On Friday, I talked to a nice Orthopedic Surgeon. By “nice,” I mean “totally competent and told me what I needed to know.”
For one thing, he actually examined me. I know that this is at least half psychological, but the man kept putting hands on my shoulders, eyeballing . . . → Read More: Shoulder
By cdwan, on April 18th, 2008 jwz pointed out some fun translations of the sessions at the O’Reilly web two point 0 meeting this year. I shall shamelessly steal his funny:
“Strategic Domain Name Selection for Increasing Traffic and Conversion Rates.” I think they mean “typo-squatting”.
“How to take your search engine optimization skillset to the next level, even if you’re . . . → Read More: Web two point oh
By cdwan, on April 17th, 2008 redmeds mom came to town for a few days to help out the invalids! The plan had been for her to chauffeur redmed around while I was in Maryland. Instead, she finds herself with both of us. Setting aside my pride in my self-sufficiency, I’m really glad she’s here.
We all went out to dinner . . . → Read More: Stuff, and things too!
By cdwan, on April 16th, 2008 A good night’s sleep of holding as still as humanly possible has done some good. After achieving a near magical configuration of pillows that took most of the pressure off the shoulder, it was all quite comfy, except when the cat stepped on me. Of course, sitting up completely un-drugged wasn’t much fun, but redmed . . . → Read More: Morning
By cdwan, on April 16th, 2008 First off, Oxycodone RULES.
Secondly, I’m beginning to think that I need a slightly less injury prone sport. At the very least, and I need to work out some sort of a schedule so that one of us is un-narced and available to drive the other’s sorry ass around.
Anyway, got thrown at Judo today: . . . → Read More: More injury
By cdwan, on April 12th, 2008 I’m finally ready to reveal the fdmts financial bailout plan for our current national emergency.
It’s predicated on the following: * I think that the people who are in mortgages that they could never afford should get out of those mortgages as rapidly as possible. That way they can begin to live within their means. . . . → Read More: Financial Plan
By cdwan, on April 10th, 2008 I was in Minnesota when Ventura was governor there, and I’ll give him this: He forced compromise and honest debate between the parties, and he pissed them both off. The state actually did quite well while he was running things.
Plus, he’s great to watch in a press conference:
By cdwan, on April 9th, 2008 I went through and filed a bunch of old letters and stuff over the weekend. Stuff that I could never bear to throw away, nor take the time to organize.
First came the folder labelled “funerals,” when I realized that it’s hard to just toss out that last scrap of paper about someone you cared . . . → Read More: Memories
By cdwan, on April 7th, 2008 My crown is installed. In the height of flattery, the x-ray tech asked me which one it was because she couldn’t tell. That ruled
Also, the week-long headache from the concussion has finally gone away! Welcome to my first Advil-free day in a week!
Also, it’s pretty warm and nice out!
By cdwan, on April 5th, 2008 I don’t say it often enough, but I am truly filled with gratitude for the wonderful people who surround me. I receive support, credit, and love far beyond what I could ever deserve. That inspires me to be more like you imagine I might be, and less like I might be otherwise. I know some . . . → Read More: Gratitude
