7:46am Catching up on my favourite TV program and going to start my new book today :D

[Katy]

Geez, Dan... I would HOPE you aren't going snowboarding right after a shoulder dislocation! I hope it heals quickly!

4:39 a.m. EST Wow, that was a marathon editing session, but I'm done. Found a number of plot holes, so I'll probably have it back in a few days for a 2nd pass. But it's a really fun story! I'll let y'all know when it's out.

[[deleted user]]

Dan, hope your shoulder isn't too painful.

5:09am and catching up on GR. Coffee is really good this mornng. Puppy prancing around waiting for breakfast (eats at 5:15am and 5:15pm). Got a great night's sleep! Started Heartsick last night and it's really good. Planning a lot of reading today. A break this afternoon to go get my monthly blood test. (Wish I had better veins...) All-in-all feeling like a great day! Hope it's the same for all you GR people!

[Christine]

Dan what did you do to your shoulder?

[Dan]

Well, I originally dislocated it in 2004 snowboarding in Montana. Then it popped out again a couple times in mixed martial arts class. I ended up having surgery on it and it was okay for a few year, until the other day. I tripped and fell on it. I know, sounds dumb. LOL.

9:37 AM. Going to the doctor in a few hours. I think I'll pass the time till then by reading. LOL.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:29AM Had my great honey/cinnammon drink, ugh I just dont make it as good as hubby does. LOL But drank it anyway. Now checking on GR Looking forward to starting heartsick today! But gonna finish Radiance first Alyson Noel. Should be done in the next hour or two. Geez I love to read!

Dan hope your shoulder will be ok!

[Katy]

Dan, I've screwed up both of my shoulders with on-the-job injuries, and they hurt me all the time now. Best to stop doing that sort of thing... just avoid injuries, alright? Then you won't be hurting them all the time! Brilliant!

1:45 p.m. EST Up, checking e-mail. Then I'll read.

[Kathryn]

2:20PM. Was so sick last night and this morning with a migraine. Ended up leaving work because my head hurt so badly, had blind spots, and even got dizzy several times. Boss sent me home, so I took a nap for two hours and I feel much better. Hope everyone has a great afternoon.

[Chris]

I hope you feel better Kathryn, I don't get migraines often but when I do they are horrible so I can understand. Take it easy and enjoy the rest of your day.

Dan, good luck at the Dr. office if you get this before hand. Otherwise, I hope it went well enough.

2:27PM and I finally have caught up with work, checking in and planning on hanging out here on GR the rest of the night. I am on closing shift today.

[Katy]

Migraines are horrible afflictions, Kathryn. I used to have chronic migraines, but thank Goddess they are infrequent now. Glad you're feeling better and hope it doesn't come back!

3:44 p.m. EST Just finished picking winners for the two giveaways that ended yesterday morning (oops) and scheduling another for Thursday on my blog (the sequel to The Cracked Slipper, if anyone is a fan; the giveaway will start at 12 a.m. EST Thursday March 7), and almost done clearing out my e-mail so I can return to reading. I told my husband if he was really nice to me, I'd let him use my laptop to play a computer game tonight. He brought me home a steak yesterday, so ... I know what's for supper tonight! Heh. On the downside we miscalculated the amount left in the checking again AGAIN and now we're in the minus... Dmitry had planned to pay for this computer with a check his mom sent, but he left it laying around and of course the Gremlin took it, so he had to ask her to send another. However, he's paid this week, so he can probably pick up his check early and at least bring us up to zero in the account... O.o GAH! Anyway, I found out how much he paid for this laptop and wow, he found a really good deal, less than $200. It was originally almost $400, so... REALLY good deal. And we'd have gone into the hole even without him buying it, 'cause our landlord hoards our rent checks for weeks and then posts them all at once, and that's usually what kicks us. Jerk.

Anyway, later y'all!

Feel better, Kathryn...I'll bet your kitties were glad to have you home!

Ouch Dan! How did you do that? :( I'm still feeling sorry for myself about my sore thumb, I hate to imagine what your shoulder feels like. I hope you can get back into your martial arts soon, it sucks when an injury holds you up hey :/

Ok so there's the answer! Don't worry, I understand - I tripped and fell once and tore a muscle in my shoulder - it was soooo painful! Easier to do than it sounds lol :S

[Shell]

Aw hope you're feeling better Kathryn - take the opportunity to have a good rest and cuddle with your kitties :)

[Katy]

Michelle, I did basically the same thing. Wiped out one shoulder when I wasn't paying attention and walked into the edge of a door... HARD, and the other when I tripped and grabbed onto a pole to keep from going down and blowing out my knee, so I blew out my shoulder instead! Gheesh!

6:42 p.m. EST Taking a quick break from my book to send the author a note about some plot discrepancies I found. I'm not sure most people would have noticed, but I was keeping my "editor" hat on for this one because I'm editing the sequel to it next week, so I noticed! LOL Clearing out e-mail while I was at it. It was nice and warm today, but rainy. *pout* I need some sun!! WARM sun, please, not this chilly sun we've had the last few days...

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:35PM Finished my work out, got my shower, now relaxing here with my GR friends. Then gonna read some more!

[Dan]

8:04 PM. I went to the doctor today. He said no to the snowboarding trip this weekend and no martial arts for three weeks. He's also sending me for an MRI. On the plus side, they took X-rays of my shoulder and the doctor showed me that it's not actually dislocated, it's just loose perhaps. I'll find out more when I get the MRI done.

[Kathryn]

7:05pm. Just put dinner in the oven to bake for twenty minutes. Feeling about 85% better. Going to take it easy and read until I go to bed.

[Chris]

Sounds like a great evening Kathryn, What's for Dinner?

Dan, good luck with your shoulder, I would think it frustrating to not have any answers other than "no you can't do that" right now. Is there anything you can do to make it feel better while you wait for the MRI?

7:10PM and the store is busy, just nothing for a technician like myself to do. I have to look busy or else people get mad. Lol, thank you GR for making me look busy at work.

[Kathryn]

7:12 PM. Stuffing casserole. It was easy. Haha! Glad we can help you look busy. :)

[Chris]

Sounds good Kathryn, I do love stuffing in many forms. My Uncle makes this amazing White Castle stuffing for the Turkey on Thanksgiving. You casserole made me think about it and I'm hungry. Looking forward to going home to eat something after work.

Really want to get some reading done, but I need to fake busy and reading doesn't cut it.

[Alondra]

8:56pm ET. #1..recuperating from migraine at work. #2.. chilling with a glass of wine, which is not good for a migraine, but who cares. #3. Why is it daylight savings time already!!? Really? It is still freezing outside... :(

[Kathryn]

Alondra, I had a migraine, too, today...hope you feel better. I had to come home because I was up at night "tossing my cookies" and it felt like a knife was stabbing the left side of my head, and was in a lot of pain at work with dizziness. Sending you healing hugs. :)

[Victor]

It's 8:07 PM and I'm going to send a message to my best friend in a couple of minutes:D

[Alondra]

you poor baby... mine was across the frontal lobe and my eyes "hurt". so i turn off the light in my little cubby and the front desk girls kept turning it back on... i almost body-slammed someone, but i was in too much pain.. ugh :(

*whispers* I hope you feel better..(((hugs)))

[Alondra]

Victor wrote: "It's 8:07 PM and I'm going to send a message to my best friend in a couple of minutes:D"

awww, i didn't get it yet? did you send it... hahahhaha

sorry, you fell into that one :D

[Kathryn]

We have similar symptoms. I get: auras, blind spots, eye pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and like you..I have to lay down in cool darkness and just sleep it off. *hugs* to you, too, my friend. Drink some hot tea and honey and rest...:)

[Kathryn]

Victor wrote: "It's 8:07 PM and I'm going to send a message to my best friend in a couple of minutes:D"

Oooh, ooh...I wonder if it could be me!!!??? :)

[Victor]

It is you Kathryn:D But Alondra reminded me...

[Victor]

It's 8: 51 PM and I just sent two messages to two great friends. Going to read, play games on my phone, and watch a little TV:D

[Kathryn]

9:04PM. Replied to my best friend, and am vegging on the couch. Probably going to read a little bit in "Waiting Period" while Mark watches t.v. :)

[Dan]

Well, Chris, believe it or not It's not that painful. It just feels like my arm is not attached to my body right. I'm not sure, I could try strengthening it but I don't know whats wrong with it yet, so no basically I just have to deal with it. Yes it is frusterating not being able to do anything. I can't go snowboarding or to mixed martial arts class. I'm spending my free time getting caught up on my reading.

10:20 PM. Reading 11/22/63.

[Katy]

Sorry to hear you're having the migraines, too Alondra. Here's hoping I don't end up with one due to the extreme and rapid fluctuations in the weather lately.

Dan, I hope they can find the issue with your shoulder. I had one of my operated on a few years ago, and if you do have to have the surgery, GO FOR THE NERVE BLOCK! Seriously, it'll knock all sensation (and ability to move) the arm completely out for 3 days, pushing you over the hump for the most post-op pain. It's sort of annoying to have the arm just flopping around there, but by the time it wore off the pain was bad, but not nearly as bad as it could have been. However, here's hoping you do NOT need a surgery.

10:46 p.m. EST Just finished The Dreamer Genome and deciding what to read next. I see I have one I had a note to try to read before the 13th, so I'll probably do that one. The Waste Land . A little different from my normal fare, but it sounded interesting. My husband has to go in at 8 a.m. tomorrow (ugh), so he won't be playing any games tonight, nor will I have my steak *sigh* Hopefully tomorrow...

[Chris]

Well Dan I hope your shoulder gets fixed up quickly. I can't imagine how weird that feels.

10:05 PM and I'm home relaxing after a rough night at work. Finally able to unclench my jaw/neck just before bed and the do it all again. Goodnight GR. see you tomorrow.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:18PM Just finished playing game online, now back her to check in with y'all and gonna read some more Heartsick, will finish it tomorrow I think.

Dan, sorry you dont get to go on your snowboarding trip. Alondra and Kathryn hope your migraines ease. (Psst Alondra, glad you did not body slam anyone)

[[deleted user]]

2:22am, slept earlier and am now up to read. Winter storm started awhile ago. Snow and freezing rain. It's supposed to be bad for a day, but then it's going up to 50 degrees by Friday so it all will just melt. I'm not ready for time to change this weekend. The only good thing is that I'll be able to walk the puppy with hub when he gets home form work. Charlie is just a little too rambunctious for me to handle alone. Will go back to Heartsick when I'm done with this post. Ready for some coffee soon.

Make it a great day all!

[Jordan]

7:51am Woke up with a pounding migraine got to do some coursework today though:( Gonna take some painkillers and hope it gets a little better

[Katy]

Oh, Jordan, so sorry. Waking up with migraines is the worst. I used to have a problem with that in my late teens and around age 20; I would wake up in such pain, completely disoriented, and just start beating my head against the wall. Horrible. Hope you feel better soon!

4:22 a.m. EST Just checking for freebies on my Kindle wishlist (none today) and clearing out e-mail that has accumulated while I've been reading the PDF. I don't like the new version of Adobe that it on this computer, it doesn't let me do bookmarks. If I accidentally close the book, I have to scroll all the way back to the correct page. So annoying...

[Jordan]

Thank you, Katy! Yeah that's like mine, except it also makes me extremely lightheaded and I feel like someones bashing my skull in! They usually last around 3 days, but hopefully the tablets will dull the pain a little bit :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:19AM just saw Kay off to school. Her Spring break starts next week. Yay! Just had breakfast and ready to read. Want to finish Heartsick today. Think I will have coffee this AM.

Terri hope you dont have to be out in that weather! Katy hope you are feeling better.

[Kathryn]

Jordan hope you feel better soon! Alondra and I both had migraines yesterday. I had to leave work because I was not able to function. Sending you some healing hugs...

[Dan]

Thanks guys :)

8:48 AM. It popped out again this morning and it hurt really bad. I had to pop it back in Mel Gibson/Leathal Weapon 2 style. So I am home today. I suppose I am just going to take it easy and try not to use the arm. Not much else I can do.

[Kathryn]

Ewww Dan..... Sounds painful. Hope you feel better.

[Christine]

Yikes lol

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

OoOO OUCH Dan! That does not sound pleasant!

[Chris]

Dan, that image of Mel Gibson popping his shoulder back in always makes me flinch because I know what it feels like to pop it back in myself. I hope it heals quickly and the MRI can at least give you some solutions. That really sucks. Take it easy and if you have a sling I would use it to take some pressure off that shoulder. Good luck man.

Jordan, I hope you feel better as the day progresses. Sounds miserable.

9:09AM and I don't have much in the way of positive things to say. At work, so I will be around all day, but I am depressed today, I'll be fine I am just having a down day.

[Kathryn]

Hope you feel better, Chris. If there is anything I can do, let me know.

9:22 am. Feeling much better today. Now to play madhouse catch up at work. Lots to do, busy day, and I need some coffee. Haha.

[Dan]

Hey, Chris I know how that feels. Hang in there.

[Chris]

Thanks Kathryn and Dan, I don;t like to be negative on GR but it is just how the day is going. I am so glad I have great friends here for support when needed.

[Dan]

Well, Chris, I'm not a moderator of this group but I like to think that that is one of the things this thread is for. For us all to keep in touch and support eachother.
