Do You Have Any Old "War Wounds?"
Happy New Day Folks!
Oh man, these old bones... I'm currently sitting in my tee shirt shop, in a comfortable chair, on a pillow. There's a cane right by my chair. Why? 'Cause I badly strained my hamstring on my left leg a couple weeks back.* That's on top of the sciatica I already had on that side. Meanwhile I've probably sprained my left ankle like 100 times, lol. The combo has me walking like Fred Sanford.
None of that gives you cool scars though... only cool scar I have is from a time I was stabbed above my hip in 10th grade. That's my old "war wound", lol.
How about you?
*Actually doing a lot better this week, folks. I can sit (and SLEEP!!) without pain, and can actually stand up for a solid minute, lol. I'm not downing these painkillers like TicTacs anymore either. I went all yesterday's daylight hours without taking one. Trust me when I tell you that's PROGRESS! Belated thanks for all the well wishes last week.
Nashville, as you can see there are some TBDs in the event below. Please help ZenTrainer with input as to which day and time you'd like to meet. Either visit her diary or send her a Kosmail to participate.
