I got a call from my wife at 2:00 crying. She evidently had a pinched nerve or something and couldn’t walk so I had to leave work and come home. I got her something to eat and a painkiller and she’s doing a little better. She’s been going like crazy the last three days with visitors from out of town. I figured she’d have a fibro flare up but didn’t expect this.
Your poor wife. I hope the pain calms down quickly.

    The pain killer is helping some. There’s really no use going to the hospital since they’ll just give her pain medicine like she’s already taking.
    I’ll be hoping she’s better tomorrow.

    Bulk Apothecary is having a glycerin sale: 20% off all sizes through 9/18 midnight. The code is GLYCERIN20.
    I saw that but shipping was $17 on one gallon

    The shot they gave her started working almost immediately. The pain isn’t gone but manageable where it wasn’t. She has an appointment in the morning with her regular doctor.

    If any of you folks have the BCF mystery flavor and are at a bit of a stall for recipe ideas, maybe try TPA Greek Yogurt and FA Meringue with it for starters. (or similar)
    I was just trying one of my three flavor mixes from a while back that used those along with TPA Dragonfruit, at ATF average %.
    It's not too bad as is (kind of mild though) but might benefit from an additional flavor and then maybe tuning % a little.

    This is going with the assumption that the mystery flavor is WF Pitaya.

    Rounding the numbers for ease of use, I used:
    TPA Dragonfruit • 2%
    TPA Greek Yogurt • 3%
    FA Meringue • 1.2%


    I mean, it's not the bee's knees or anything, but might help kickstart something if you're stuck.

    She wants to put me on Farxiga but did not because I am losing weight with Ozempic. We will revisit that in January.

    Actually missed out on Farxiga given my health problems/complications. And couldn't agree more - Olympic does work wonders, although I'm still consider Diabetic type 2, it has assisted in lowering my A1c from 8.2 to 5.9 in 6 months. As for weight loss, wouldn't know, especially being on Dialysis now, weight fluxuates on a daily bases - usually 5 lbs up and down for the past 6 + weeks.

    Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Good morning. I went to get ready for work and my wife was having really bad pain again. I called in to work and let my boss know I’ll be out today. She needs me to take her to the doctor and I want to be here to take care of her today. I was supposed to go on a service call most of the day but asked them to wait until next week.

    Morning, mixers.

    Rumors of rain persist, but we've still not seen any. Some day. And then, a week or so after it starts the fall deluge we'll be wishing for sun ;)

    We went to her doctor and he thinks it might be a lumbar issue so we’re at the hospital getting an X-ray done. The doctor said that insurance won’t approve an mri without first getting X-rays and trying to fight it with medicine. He wrote prescriptions for prednisone and another one I don’t know how to spell. She’s in getting the X-rays now then we’ll go get the prescriptions. Good thing I took the day off.

    Which atty did you buy?
    Monarchy J3S v2 with mtl pin kit.

    I can understand that many choose clones, buying a Monarchy is a very complicated process.
    You must be in the Facebook group, it took me a week before I understood that that is not where the order list comes from, they have a separate place for lists. I managed to become a member before the jiis atty list came.
    I'm hoping to get mobb v2 mtl as well, preferably with this order, and preferably a dotmobb as well.
    After this I start to finish everything I wanted, maybe an Ear could be good though.

    I sure hope the medicine takes her pain away.

    Morning all, I drank an energy drink yesterday to help with the 3 hour round trip I took the wife on. She saw a new eye doc and this guy was way far away. After we got home I crashed and just got up from sleeping 14 hours. I haven't had an energy drink in years and now I won't have one for a long time as they're not good for me.

    Hitt, I hope your wife gets the help she needs and is pain free.
