Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

Posted on Tuesday 10 October 2006

I’m feeling a lot a bit sorry for myself. September blew goats sucked. I had to deal with doctors, my insurance company, (repeatedly,) petty, mean-spirited behavior, and a boatload of other crap. Oh and did I mention I had to have an MRI? I blew out my knee at the gym, and now have 2 months of physical therapy to look forward to. It’s a soft tissue injury, and I will be fine but still… fuck this shit PHOOEY!!!!!

May I have some blog love please?

Pretty please?

Cause I’m one grumpy ass camper.

Fine. Be that way. Whatever.

POUT.

Now aren’t you glad you stopped by?

Piffle.

    Maggie sends lots of cuddles and wags — she got me through 6 months of knee rehab that way and it worked!!

    Eat lots of gelatin. It helps rebuild cartilidge.

    And don’t ever go to the gym again, ever!

    You’ve got all the blog love I could possibly give you and still be faithful to my wife. I normally pat her on the head, give her a gentle hug, and a kiss on the cheek.

    So consider yourself patted, hugged, and kissed, though perhaps just on the hand.

    Great big peppermint-scented love (because the house reeks of it–see what happens when I make soap?) from me to you.

    aww, that sucks, lisa! the other day someone called on my work phone line and I answered, “________ Symphony” and they asked if we did physical therapy. LMAO! what kind of kinky shit they think we got going on here??? ;)

    You want some bloggy love? I got yer bloggy love RIGHT HERE!

    I wanted to sound all NYC for ya.

    Knee injuries suck. Insurance companies suck. MRIs suck.

    Maybe you should listen to Golfwidow’s latest podcast. That will surely cheer you up and you don’t have to use your knees to do it. ;)

    Denny – LMAO. You are too funny ;-)

    Se7 – Thanks Dear. Hugs!

    Lois Lane – Always a good thing! I think ;-)

    Kathryn – Thanks to you and Maggie! Dogs are always good medicine.

    Zen – I didn’t know that about gelatin. Very interesting.

    Unfortunately my PT is in a gym so no chance of that ;-)

    Vince – (Platonic) hugs back atcha! Thanks!

    Serra – I love peppermint so that makes it extra nice!

    Annie – Thanks Hon! Yup, not a good day.

    As for piffle? I define it as “phooey” or “so there” but I think it really means nonsense.

    Dawn – Thanks! Never a dull moment at your job methinks ;-)

    Andy – You sounded just like a NY’er! And you are correct, all that sucks. Thanks for the smile :-)

    Now I’m off to rest my aching knee. I’m adding PT sucks to the list as well.

    Injuries have a way of making the world gray, huh?
    BUT you have us on your side, your new loss of Ten, and the world at your feet. Well, one foot for the moment, but you will soon be back on top of your game. I’ll be your PT in the wings, anytime. HUGS.
    PS Dont feel bad, I broke my toe by a bag of marauding meat. Go figure.

    Awwww, I’m so sorry that happened to you. All those things! I especially hate when my body goes quirky and requires P.T. I never get a real cute guy for it, just some persnickety old bag that wants to get on home to her cat but can’t because I’m there, taking up her precious one-on-one time with her cat, like eating tuna out of the same can with Miss Miffles while watching re-runs of Murder She Wrote on TV! And I also hate dealing with petty, mean spirited people too! Ugh, they suck!

    Well, now I feel better! LOLOL!!

    Big hugs LisaB! Wish you could’ve hung w/me in Abingdon today. We’d of had fun. Horse ‘n carriage rides thru town so you wouldn’t even have needed your knee ;)

    Blog love comin’ your way, Lisa. And PT is not soooo bad! When I had sciatica problems a few years back, I actually enjoyed the PT. I don’t know if it helped my physical condition, but it certainly relaxed me!

    Good luck and hope you feel all healed very soon!

    Awww..poor thing. I’ll give you all the love you need. I’m probably going to have to go thru some PT myself for my back, so I can empathize with you.

    Hey Lisa: Before I went on hiatus with my union, it seemed like very commercial audition I snagged was for a doctor role! So I can say, “I’m not a doctor. But I have played one on TV”! lol! I’ve had knee and shoulder rebuilds and the physical therapy isn’t pleasant, but believe me in the long-run it pays off. If I lived nearby, I’d bring dinner over—your favorite meal–whatever that would be. Meantime, feel better and (((HUGS)))!

    Uisce – OK, I won’t!

    Heather B – You ROCK! And love back atcha :-)

    Tish – Thanks Hon. And I will take you up on your offer! So sorry about your toe :-(

    Carolyn – ROFLMAO! How funny! Especially the “Miss Miffles.” Mucho appreciated. Unfortunately my PT gal was more likely to watch MTV ;-)

    Oob – Thanks, Dear! So far all PT has done is hurt like a *&%$#!

    Nat – Thanks so much! I’m glad you had a good experience, I’m hoping for the same.

    Bruce – Aw thanks Hon! Empathy is a good thing ;-)

    Michael – I’m delighted to hear it all pays off a the end. Thanks Doctor Manning! Hugs!

    Seamus – Indeed! And I would definitely like some cheese for my wine er whine ;-)

    Dutchbitch – MWAH! That’s a lot of love! Mucho appreciated and thanks reminding me that crap happens to us all :-)

    I hope you don’t have an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons. If you do, just remember I’m not responsible. Nonetheless, feel better Lisa.

    And this is why Julie does not go to the gym. My knees are dodgy enough, no need to help them to kingdom come. :)

    October will be better. We will go out and drink and window shop together. See, don’t you feel better already?

    OK, so I’m late. You’re sounding a bit needy dear.
    So, lemme give you a little sugar…
    But you have to come to the mountains of Montana to get it. ;)

    I hear ya. I quit the gym a few years ago, the knees are going. I can’t afford to be injured, what with the state of my non-insurance. Sucks when your body hurts, too. Feel better!

    [...] Remember how I told you guys I blew out my knee? Well I have been in physical therapy for the last couple of weeks and it’s going quite well. The physical therapist is very sweet, positive, and encouraging – she really knows her stuff! In fact I’m so pleased with her that I wanted to introduce her to you guys. [...]
