Knee is doing not-so-hot It's making an audible grinding noise when I pick my leg up and try to rotate it around or extend it. I still can't straighten it out on my bed without major resistance.

Hehe Jerry, thank you for the spare power chair offer. Right now I'd be grateful for a power chair since I have no energy, feel like shit, and have seemingly done something pretty bad to my knee. I wasn't able to get in to see my doctor today but spoke to a friend of mine who just happens to be a doctor, described the symptoms, and he said it sounds like I've done something to the cartilage but no one will be able to tell for sure without an MRI which will have to wait until I get back from California. At least I'm able to keep food down--though it's all still bland food--and have been drinking Boost. I look like a pale ghostly raccoon-eyed version of myself right now, heh.

I won't be in the L.A. area this time around--I will be up in the mountains--though I may be in Bolsa Chica in May and I will definitely be in the San Diego (La Jolla) area in the later summer! I would love love love to meet up with you guys, we'd have fun (and I'm trying get Ches to join me out in Cali too!) I'm supposed to be monoskiing next week up in a lovely mountain town (Mammoth) and hanging out with a friend but not sure that I'll be up for skiing every day now.

Qbounce, I think I speak American better than I speak Canadian . Most people would think I'm nuts for saying so but I actually prefer the USA to Canadialand and hoping to relocate to the US at some point anyway.

I'm usually really positive and upbeat but I am having a very hard thinking happy thoughts right now with all the health/body stuff that's happened this week. I actually just feel like hiding under my blankie and never coming out. There's only so much a person can take!

I'm sure Stillfingers would be happy to give your knee a thorough examination TO...

[StillFingers]

Mimi...hide under the blankets, keep warm, enjoy you mammoth trip, get your knee fixed, put a smile back in your heart and on that lovely face.

And, if you and/or Ches make it out this way...who knows, I may actually be rollin again...how about a picnic in the park or at the beach?!

Be well

Jerry

[twisted_ophelia]

Aww, I love picnics! I would be up for that!

Knee doesn't seem any better. I'm worried that, despite me taking some clonazepam last night, my legs were spazzing out in my sleep and doing more harm to it. I can't even get in to see my doctor, I'm hoping he'll be able to see me on Monday before I leave but I doubt there's anything he'll be able to do until I get back from Cali anyway. So many friends have said to me things like "Well, you're already in a chair, what are you so worried about?" Jeez.

I'm thinking maybe Simon want's to go on a picnic Mimi, perhaps we should do Breakfast in the Park...they serve great pancakes there, anyone interested.

[twisted_ophelia]

I love breakfast food. I eat it for dinner or at any time of the day. Pancakes, eggs, etc., is such comfort food, imo.

Stillfingers Picnic

If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise,

If you go down in the woods today beware of a big surprise,

Stillfingers is there, he's totally bare, he's after girls who wheel in a chair,

Today's the day that Stillfingers has his picnic...


You letch Stillfingers, you're worse than me...

[StillFingers]

Chivalry is dead, I knew I was going to hell...thank you Mike, nice poem.

Yay, I'm in a better mood than I've been in the last few days! The injured knee seems a lot better--swelling went down overnight. I'm going up into the mountains in less than 24 hours and I need to be healthy! The friend of mine who lives out there and who I'm visiting told me yesterday that the elevation is 8000 feet! Hopefully I'll be able to adjust to the high altitude really quickly.

Yeah, I'll be a tiny bit lower than the 8000 feet that the ABs have to deal with, I'll be at 7998 feet. Actually a few of us measured ourselves in chat the other night and I am a whole 54" tall which is like 4'5" or something. Never actually measured how tall I am sitting in my chair before!

[twisted_ophelia]

Well, it's 5 am and I'm trying to guzzle a morning coffee, get all my morning routines done, finish packing and make it to the airport on time on only a few hours sleep. Gonna miss you all and totally have forum withdrawals but hopefully will be able to pop online this week when we're not skiing.

At the supermarket today I bought an ice cream scoop. Yeah, I know, I can hardly contain myself, too. Anway, have a close look at the packaging - says it's and ice cream scoop but the illustration is of garlic! Now what kind of ice cream would that be?

Cheese and pickle?

[fatdave]

many moons and drugs ago I was once dared to eat a jalapeño milkshake....and it wasnt made with fresh ones either....4 scoops of cheap vanilla ice cream and a half jar of jalapeños.

I ate it....I won the $10.

a week later I had to have my appendix removed.....coincidence?

Now I wonder about the garlic Ice cream....wonder if they server it in Gilroy California's garlic festival?

I remember I saw a TV article where garlic icecream was served at a garlic celebration day. Went down a storm apparently. Don't know if it was in CA or France.

Pretty wacky packaging

BTW there is a restaurant in North Hollywood called The Stinking Rose...they make garlic ice cream and it's not to bad, the taste is of garlic, quite unique.

I dated her a couple of times.......

[Hapahowlee]

Yes, I've seen garlic icecream, but never had the desire to taste it. I love garlic, but there are some things that are just wrong. Anyone ever try Wasabi Icecream? I once lived in the horseradish capital of the world, Collinsville, IL and they made horseradish icecream. Never tried it though.

Oh c'mon Scribs, we all know you still see Stinking Rose. Whatever happened to Funkie Fannie? Did you give her the boot?
