Molehill Mountain Drip Tips!

[choochoogranny]

Sorry, Kayte. Merryhellion has some good medical advice. Afterwards, when Doug's up and walking around there's some silly looking simple exercises that take all of 5 min. to do on the floor and involves bringing knees to chest and out again. Hubbs has learned not to skip these exercises or there's a painful cost to pay. Hubby has been doing them the over 40 yrs. plus learning to lift with legs rather than back. So far, hasn't needed anything else. Also, when he develops a kink, hitch, twist in his back, he's discovered that that Thermacare Heat Wraps sticky on patch thing for backs greatly relieves his ache.

A few yrs. ago hubby was trimming some branches......on a ladder. Ladder slips, he tosses the saw aside, and does a "tuck and roll". He winds up with a couple of fractures of the spine and a back brace. When he does any heavy duty yard work, cutting wood, etc. anymore, he wears the back brace. He doesn't have to, but his back thanks him for it.

Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks? Aging just means adapting......Although it took him the longest time to take his wallet out of his back pocket when driving especially long distances. He had to hear it from someone else before trying it out.

Take care of yourself too, Kayte. Can't have both of you laid up! Tell Doug we're all sending healing vibes his way.

Aw Kayte...sorry to hear Doug is in pain like that...sending lots of healing energy and good vibes...tips can wait (you know we aren't going anywhere! )...just take care of hubby...and yourself too!

 

[darksparkle13]

Kayte oh no that sucks for doug! Postive healing vibes headed your way!

 

[willowize]

Take care of Doug........be careful with the wood........lot's of good advice above.

Wow! I may need to rephrase all of that

Seriously though ya'll take care and don't worry about us. We'll tidy up when we're done.

Thanks everyone. I've read your posts to Doug and he truly appreciated each sentiment. So do I.
Gah... I hate it when he's in pain. I have 1/2 a mega Ibuprofen left and am hoping to find someone that wouldn't mind making a trip to the store to get some of the regular variety. I don't want to leave him. Doesn't it figure that two days ago I threw away our ratty old heating pad, thinking I'd get another next time we went shopping. Obviously that was a dumb move.

Chooch... thank you for sharing the knowledge. So glad your hubby recovered nicely from the fall and that he does what he needs to do to stay on his feet!! Doug WILL be doing the exercises. Just as soon as he's able to get himself up off the floor.

Awesome, John! Are you seeing everything double yet? =) We will expect pictures pronto after the blessed event!

Yes - double of everything - cribs, outfits, diapers... 1 month to go. I'll post pics sometime after I get the hang of things, and get used to my new sleep (or lack thereof) schedule!

There's been a major change in plans for the day here. There won't be any tips today. Doug is laid up in pretty bad shape with his back (sciatica.) I've got him in the recliner now... which beats the floor where I found him last night. His accomplishment today will be getting up and walking around a bit in between reclining.

I hope all of you have a much better day than we're having! I'm going to have to see if I can drag the splitter out of the shed and get some kindling made. Sounds easier than swinging an axe. Talk to you all later!

Oh NO Kayte!!!
I'm so sorry to find this
Let Doug know he'll be prayed for and you too!

Ah Doug

Hubbs learned the "tuck and roll" from watching an old movie about the 101 Airborne. The doc was amazed he didn't have more damage. He was 70 yrs at the time.

Hubbs prefers the floor when there is an episode even tho we have super firm beds. They still have too much give. One time our oldest was on the highschool homecoming float committee. Hubbs was on the floor with pillow and blanket when they came over for a meeting. They tipped toed around him to get to the livingroom. She still remembers THAT event. That involved two slipped discs. Each going in the opposite direction. Three days on the floor taking muscle relaxer and pain pill which made him sleep.

Just have Doug do those exercises, lift with his legs, and wear a back brace when doing heavy labor. Can be a pain in the bu--, not not near as painful as in the back.

My wife & I are having our baby shower this Sunday as well! We're expecting twin girls. Due date estimated around December 8th (estimated because twins arrive about 2 weeks earlier than singles).

Oh wow John! Twins! Congratulations Will be here soon as a flash. This is my oldest daughter's first. Have two grandkids from my younger daughter already.

Woot, my tip arrived!!! Kayte, I don't like to correct you, but it IS purple, and a lovely purple at that =) Dark purple is so hard to find with all the silly fuschia in the world. Not to put down the lovely fuschia around the middle of it! Truly a happy holiday tip, it made me smile after a long crummy day when I got to opening vapemail =)

I'm almost out of motrin too...shall I drop some off when I swing out to pick up more? =)

To much to keep up with all you, but hoping the ill ones get to feeling better, and Doug's back. Can't forget Ziggy, happy to hear he's back on his feet better than before. When my sister remarried a long while back, they wanted one more child, guess what, they had twins. Young adults now, boy and girl, and still very close. Congrats to the parents.

From all the posts here I decided to try the nautilus mini's, so happy I did, talk about a nicotine rush even with only 6mg. Just got them going today, so from what I've read flavor will get better when broken in some, though pretty good now. Perfect fit for the iStick I think, now just need another tip or two.

Have a great time at the baby showers!!

Congratulations to you John!

Thanks Kayte and all! Poor Doug! Hope he feels netter soon. Bad backs are a "pain"
To deal with. Will say a little extra prayer

Chooch -I don't what I would do if my kids and grandkids were far away. The oldest is two hours away in Charlotte and that's bad enough! The other one is only 30 mins away

KS love the color switch on the REOs! I broke down and ordered a brass circular door, button and went ahead a got a Nuppin atty with brass to dress up the red REO in a different outfit LOL Am dressing the blue one up with copper accessories

If any of you haven't tried TPR's Angel Sauce liquid, try it. Put some in one of my new mini nauts, and it was great right from the first puff.

 

[choochoogranny]

Hey, Killowatt! Is that a Molehill Coffee & Cream tip I'm seeing? Your two setups right there have become very popular and have heard nothing but good things.

 

[Hemptation]

Good deal kilowatt. The aspire line has really stepped their game up. And TPR banana pudding is one of my all time favorites

Hope Doug gets to feeing better.

Very nice KS Very nice.


Nope. Nothing like swop swappig tips around. Lol.
