Ayup.
Once saw one for some allergy med that listed as just one of the many potential side effects - stuffy nose. Uh, isn't that what it's supposed to get rid of??
And some time back, my doc wanted me to change my BP med. The one recommended had, as a possible side effect, congestive heart failure. Being as I'm just "pre" hypertensive, I said NO!
Oh Matt, sorry your knee is hurt! Yep, RICE is the temporary treatment and if it gets worse, then to the doctor's you go!
We have so many on our lanai and when I get the hose out, they start perching near me cause they know the water is going to get them some good meals from the soil. I still love watching them do their push-ups......hope I never take any of this for granted, cause it is such a gift.
What a day! I was up and at 'em early this morning, stripping the bed, scrubbing floors, mopping the kitchen floor and everything else in between.
Then I had the nerve to go out with my daughter to a dance. Gawd, I hate going to a dance and can't get a man to dance with ya for nothing!! So, I danced with my daughter. We just put slow dances off limits.I should have taken pictures though, because the dance hall was on the other side of the levee from the Atchafalaya Swamp. You can tell there's some history in that building. It sits on Bayou Teche, and on the other side of the levee is the swamp. This link shows a picture of the dance hall itself. Atchafalaya It's a restaurant, inn, AND dance hall. Atchafalaya Club Henderson | Pat's Fisherman's Wharf Restaurant - Henderson, LA | (337) 228-7512
Went back to her place and watched a movie. Today let me know I'm not dead yet.
Nothing like dancing for a night of fun! Yea, looks like a great place to boogie on down!
That bar is awesome! I'd bet the food is killer, too!Boy, boy, boy, Matt, you and knees just don't get along at all, do ya? I hope it stops aching ya soon!!

I LOVE Louisiana! I just wish I had more opportunity to go there. Have never been to NO, but it's on my bucket list. I'm such a history buff, especially love seeing anything that is original to it's time. LA has done a fantastic job of preserving history from the biginning.
Cold Ranch Chicken Pasta
4 lg boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1 smaller bag Garden Rotini Pasta , not the giant bag.
2 Bags of Broccoli, Carrots & Waterchestnuts frozen veggies.
1/2 bag frozen Sugar Snap Peas.
2 bunches of green onions.
1 medium or 2 small cans of sliced black olives, drained.
DRESSING
1 16 oz tub sour cream
1 8oz tub sour cream
1 full block cream cheese
2 packages Ranch Dip mix. (Dip mix has a stronger flavor than dressing mix. Buttermilk style pacs are fine to use, too. Premade tubs of Ranch Dip aren't as good in this recipe as the mixes.)
Night before mix up all the sour cream, cream cheese, cream cheese, & dip pacs. Cream cheese is hard to get incorporated, even when brought to room temp. I use the Nuechfatel (sic) because it is softer than regular cream cheese but tastes same. Mix really well d put in fridge to get happy together. Mix it again before adding to rest of ingredients.
Dice & boil chicken in slightly salted water. Pull chicken from water, use that water to cook your pasta. Use the whole bag of pasta. Mix frozen veggies together & nuke till just cooked, so they stay a little crisp & don't start getting limp or falling apart but are tender. Drain off ALL water that collects in bottom of bowl. Slice green onions a little finely, including a good portion of the tops. Put all this in a huge bowl, add the olives, & put in fridge for an hour or so to get cold. Then just add the dressing, mix it all up till everything coated with dressing. The cream cheese helps the dressing stick to the chicken, pasta & veggies instead of sliding off, so once it.s mixed d coated the first time that's it. You'll never have to stir it again, everything will stay, d you won't rick breaking open your Sugar Snap Peas so they stay pretty & whole.
That's it. This is will feed a crowd. Leave out the chicken to use as a side dish. Halve it if just feeding a few people once, or 2 people with leftovers. I.ve used it as a side dish & then added the chicken the next day for another meal.
Ice packs since yesterday. Seem to be helping. Don't have any ace bandages but, I do have some really tight neoprene knee braces, using them. Not much improvement there.
Yep. All three braces of differing holding ability. The aluminum hinged one just makes it hurt worse but, I think it's because it's trying to move my kneecap around and it doesn't like it! The neoprene pressure braces seen to help a little. Ice helps a lot but, doesn't last. Doree insists I stay off my feet so that's what I'm doing.
At some point you're supposed to switch from ice to heat, like after 12 or 24 hours or after the swelling goes down? Not going to look it up, rather talk it out here.

Heat aggravates swelling, since more blood reaches the area. Ice at first to reduce swelling, then heat for comfort and more blood flow for healing.
Getting a little thunder and lightning...
