I Hurt Myself Making Cookies

Posted on September 11, 2024 by pauldelancey

Stunt Big Toe from Stunt Man

Seems difficult to do but I did. I warmed by spilling one cookie-dough round into the oven and few more on the floor.

Then . . .

I tripped on the part of the broiler that was sticking out by a little. But my left big toe managed to catch it. I fell/flew forward, twisted in mid-air and broke my fall with my left knee. Final damage: headache, twisted neck, twisted back, twisted left ankle, and throbbing left, big toe, and hurt left knee. I thought briefly that my big toe was broken, but it’s better now. Oh and I managed to pull the broiler drawer all the way open with my big toe.

You may say that baking is not a full-contact sport, but I respectfully disagree.

Bad Week or So, Bad Day

Posted on December 5, 2022 by pauldelancey

It’s not been the best of times lately. I went to the ER because I got blinding pains whenever I moved my head in the slightest. You’d be surprised just how many times the neck absorbs stress from head movement. I got an imjection on muscle relaxers. I also got muscle-relaxer bills and super Ibuprofen. It’s mostly better now as long as I’m careful; such as in remembering to lean forward with my head anytime I accelerate the car. I’ll probably start physical therapy, again, on Thursday. Oh and I have eye therapy every week. I’ll have different tests for other ills next month.

Then I decided maybe two weeks back to change banks. I won’t go into it now, but it has been unceasing nightmare.

I want to run away. Is the Wild West still open?

Too Much Pain

Posted on November 11, 2022 by pauldelancey

Sorry, there won’t be a funny, well thought out post today. My neck simply is hurting too much to do anything creative or, indeed, much of anything that involves moving or turning my neck. Until this happens, you really how much you use your neck. Just getting up from a prone position, like from on my bed, takes planning and a long time just to minimize the hurt somewhat. Behave yourselves out there.
