This weekend was the ASP (Allegany State Park) Geobash! Lots of hiking, but not nearly as much as we used to do on this weekend. Not in nearly as much pain either. So less pain really made it worth less steps. At some point I am going to compare the mileage in the app to the mileage on my handheld GPS. But I'm not feeling quite up to making my way out to the Jeep to get my handheld so that I can download the tracks. LOL Yesterday alone was 4526 steps taken outside the house. Have a great week!1 -
Yay on less pain! Isn't that wonderful?

This week I learned how to solder! I now have a nice set of copper ring splints. Some day I'll have the money to buy some sterling silver wire and make some that I won't have to clean twice a week. But at $7 a foot that will be a while. LOL But learning how to solder has opened a whole new world for my beading and jewelry making. I can't wait to see what my brain can come up with. I already plan to solder the stems on my roses making them even more sturdy and hopefully less sharp and pointy. Have a great week everyone!1 -
Wow. Great skill to have. And look at your measurements - the scale is inching up, but the measurements are not. That's pretty cool... you're building muscle!2

And what in the world would NY want for registration and certification if it even sounded like a medical device!
Feel recovered from the geocaching fun weeks ago?
shoulders felt like doing the workouts anymore?0 -
Medical devices are taxed in NY now.
Not to mention the fact if I make $2 they take $1 in SNAP and $1 in SSI away from me. In most towns it's around $25-50 per day to "peddle" wares in that town. Then you have to collect taxes, 4% state + 4-4.5% county. If you sell online you pay tax according to where it's shipped. It's a confusing mess. And from what I have looked at so far they want their "share" before you deduct costs from your earnings. Businesses are fleeing NY as fast as they can. Just in the last three years alone more than ten factories have left WNY and several talking about leaving. My eldest brother has worked at one factory 29 years and it's changed hands three times.
I have been feeling much better, not even sure why I haven't picked up my weights, maybe when we get back from all the ramming my other half wants to do I'll do some lifting. Guess I have to go get dressed now so we can leave. Thanks for the little push, I needed it.

I made up a tutorial for a group I'm a part of, but apparently it's not allowed to be shared here so I can't show it to you. Been feeling kind of down lately, and the way I found that out didn't help in the least. Oh well, this too shall pass. Wrist won't stay in, knee won't stay in. My brother is going through h*ll because of his abusive spouse, step child, and son. It's been a week from h*ll in other words. This week has GOT to be better. Sorry for the vent. Just needed to get it out.

Lots of paint prep and painting this week. Didn't do any measurements last week. Have been in LOTS of pain in my arms and hands since starting the painting project, but I have to admit the Jeep turned out pretty nice. Rick did most of the work, but I still did some. At least enough to make my right arm useless for a while.

Things are starting to look up around here. Rick has been sick, scary kind of sick. Apparently he had acute pancreatitis brought on by Invokana. He is no longer taking the Invokana and is feeling much better! Our insurance fought tooth and nail against the medication to treat the pancreatitis because he is under 50, by four whole years. Finally got that straightened out, now they are fighting my breathing medication. Oh well, guess they'll either end up paying for the medication now, or my hospital stay later. We also have to change pharmacies as well, as the pharmacy we have been with since I was a child is no longer in their network.
I still have a finger that is messed up from sanding and painting the Jeep. Would it throw things off too much to lift with just me left hand? After all I can only use the crutch on the left side now, thanks to my shoulder going out. I don't think I will ever be able to use a crutch on the right side ever again, as that shoulder is just that weak now. What am I saying, I should never have tried to use one on that side because that shoulder has been dislocating since I was a baby.
Anyhow, that's enough of a book for this week. I hope you have a great week!0 -

So glad this week is over! Still fighting trigger finger, my ring finger on my right hand is still numb from the pip joint to the tip of the finger, but at least with it numb it doesn't hurt, unless I bump it in the right (or should I say wrong) spot. I got a steam burn on my arm just below my right elbow. Ran into the door frame and made the burn blister. Ran into the door frame again and broke the blister. It scabbed over and I bent my arm and the scab cracked and it started to bleed. Ran into the door frame again and tore the scab right off. Accidentally kicked a piece of plywood and bruised my toe. Dropped my crafting table on my big toe.
I had offers of putting me in a plastic bubble this week to keep me from injuring myself. LOL Hope your week went better than mine! 1 -
Oh my! What a week!
Poor body! Bubble wrap all over!

This week has been so much better! I'm still fighting the trigger finger, but the pain is almost gone and the numb area is getting smaller! Now instead of 3/4 of the finger being numb it's only about 1/2. LOL
I really need to take a picture of all the bead work I've done lately so I can share it. I even broke down and ordered $100 worth of clothes this week! I HATE spending money on clothes. But when you can get four "bolder holders," two shirts, a nightgown, and a sweatshirt and matching sweatpants all for $100 you can't pass it up these days.0 -
I saw your bead work on your profile! its looking wonderful!!1

Nice - that makes me think of those chain puzzles where you try to get a ring off or something.
Of course - on your ear and someone trying to figure out the puzzle - perhaps not.
No bad incidents last week then - like shoulder dislocated on door frame or such?
You didn't mention, so I'm hoping that means no - so glad for you if that was the case.0 -
No walls or door frames jumped out at me this week!

All I can say at this point is Thank God He Bought A Subaru!!!!!!!!
He walked away from it with bruises from the seat belt...0 -
oh wow - pulled the tire off the rim, that's some braking force attempt. Did it actually roll over the front?0
-
Heard more now, a combination of his seatbelt and his life alert button broke his sternum. Please if you know someone who wears a life alert or anything similar make sure they don't allow it to rest under the seatbelt!!! They kept him for observation last night. I haven't seen him as of yet, so I don't know any of the details. I do know that it was a roll over. He turns 80 in September and he is the one we know we inherited hEDS from.0

As much as I enjoy the first weekend in August, I'm glad it's over! Our annual party was Saturday. It was cold this year! Dad was released from the hospital in time to spend about an hour at the party before going home to relax in his recliner. Sunday was my great niece's second birthday party and party clean up. Today is finally rest day! I'm exhausted and in so much pain that I haven't eaten nearly enough in the last three days, but hoping to get back on track now.0

I hope things are a bit better Mary Ann. And I hope DH is doing better!

It's been a rough month... We had the transmission replaced in the Jeep. Got it home and the check engine light came on. Reading was a bad crank sensor. Rick got to looking and somehow the wires got cut. We figure it somehow happened when they were changing the transmission. Rick ordered the parts and we sat home while waiting for them to come in. Dad rolled his Subaru. He's okay other than a broken sternum.
Got those parts in and headed out to do our "first of the month grocery shopping." Got an hour from home and the battery light comes on in the Jeep. We pull into Auto Zone and have them attempt to check the battery and alternator. Battery is too dead to do a proper check. New battery from them is around $200 that we don't have. A tow truck is $50 to hook up and $4/mile. We're around 50 miles from home...Call my brother. He just got home from work and hasn't even had supper yet. He says he'll bring a couple of batteries and see how far we can get. While we are waiting for him, I remember I have a cousin that lives near this town, but I don't have her phone number, but she works right across the street! Get the Jeep started and get it across the street to a bigger parking lot. We walk to the store my cousin works at. She just left, in fact Rick watched her pull out of the parking lot, but didn't know it was her at the time.
My brother shows up and we go up to Walmart and get another battery. $150 good thing we'd been saving for new computers. Start up the road to go home and the battery light comes back on. Well, guess it wasn't the battery. My brother thinks he can remember where our cousin lives. We make it there, just. The Jeep dies in the driveway. They pull the alternator and we head home, leaving the Jeep at my cousin's. When we get home Rick orders the new alternator. The next day our pocketbooks another $150+ lighter we head back to my cousins house to put the new alternator in. Hopefully that's the end of this saga!!!
So now I'm exhausted and still trying to get the house cleaned anyway.
Hear's to a much better week!!! 0 -

This week was much better! Yesterday was a little rough, but for different reasons. My jaw didn't want to cooperate nor did my knee, but I managed to get through yesterday. Nothing like trying to eat a burger and with every single chew my jaw would go out then back in with a click. Thankfully it doesn't hurt, it's just annoying. I guess it does hurt for some people. Now my knee on the other hand, that hurts! Every other step yesterday it went out and back in!
Hope you are all having a great week! Hoping to get some chainmaille in today!0
