SPRING/SUMMER 2023!!...Share your sales & solutions!!!

I saw alot of those sandals....do people buy them at flea markets? There was a lot of sandals and summer clothes left everywhere.

Call the surgeon's office first thing in the AM. Don't go to Wags. Do not collect $200. Do not pass go.

I was interested in the sandals for me. They are very comfortable and fairly priced especially for a buck lol. I have no idea about the flea market. I haven't been to one since I went with my dad 30 years ago.

I already contacted my primary doctor. He's a different doctor than my priority doctor and the primary doctor is in charge of my case. He always wants me to be very specific and I'm a very general person. I'm like Trump in that I'm not very good with my words. I try to answer how he wants me to but it's really hard. I can't describe my pain other than it hurts. I'm sure that he'll get back to me in the morning. I let him know that I wanted to go to a different hospital if I have to go back in.

Th doctor should be asking follow ups then. Does it burn, ache, stab, etc? He should be suggesting descriptors if you cant come up with them.

I hate the 0-10 scale. Like wtf? I dont even remember what 0 pain feels like (does anyone)? My baseline on a great day is likely a 3....should I shift that to mean 0. That's the one I always hate answering.

Yeah, I have a problem with the scale, too. I told them that I was in 9 or 10 level pain (and I was) but it's nothing like what a burn patient must feel so I think that it's only relative to how I feel at the moment rather than an absolute scale compared to every pain in the world. I think that they use the scale to figure out the level of pain meds to give you. It's easy to figure out. If you say 5 you'll get tylenol. If you say 8 you'll get something better and if you say 9 or 10 you'll get the grand slam and probably be admitted. I don't know why anyone would want to be admitted to the hospital but to each his own.

When I was in the ER the last time, they had two psych patients in the bed next time me. There are some weird people out there. One guy was banging his head against the outside of a bar when they picked him up. The girl was on drugs that you can't take alcohol with and need I say more. The sad thing is that they probably told their friends how weird I was. The guy in the next bed peed in his pants. I'm still embarrassed about that. I had no idea that the catheter leaked and there was pee all over me. I was wearing light gray sweatpants so it was very obvious.

I think that I may be out of the woods. I stopped bleeding last night. I don't know why but I'm not complaining. I did this once before and then all of the sudden I started bleeding again so I'll take it one pee at a time. It still hurts a lot. I've got a feeling that there's a big chunk of my prostate that won't come out. They blasted it robotically with water and then sucked it out thru my urethra and yes, it's as painful as it sounds. I passed something a couple of days ago and it was a really weird feeling that I can't describe. You know, when you're in pain, you can't sit down with a notebook and write down how you feel. There's no way if the pain is a 9 or 10. You're in agony. If somebody is very specific about how they felt at the time I would tend to not believe them. I certainly don't want to relive the experience by thinking about it and trying to describe it.

Exactly....like how am I supposed to answer? It's basically a trick question lol.


I think people say 9/10 in hopes for really good meds, not thinking they'll get admitted. And I'm sure some nurses assume that someone saying a 9/10 is because they want to get really good drugs. So if a nurse is just going to guess how bad your pain is, why do you even have to answer the question at all?


If they were both psych patients they probably weren't even paying attention to what was happening around them if there was too much stimuli. Even if they noticed you, I bet they don't even remember.

LOL I think this my be my new saying, Im taking life one pee at a time (because, as you know, sometimes one whole day can be a bit of a stretch)! Glad you seem to be doing better, hope it holds.

I dont think I was asked the stupid 1-10 question when I was attacked. They just kinda jumped to the highest level. At first I think I was just in shock and was concerned about the stupidest things anyway so any answer I would have given would have been strange.

I need to say something worthy of a rep, but can't think of a thing. I've been on 666 for more than 24 hours.

I tried, but I have to spread it around first....oy.

You're worth lots of Reps for all the help you give here!!

Thanks for trying to help! I can't rep you either, I have to spread it around too!

I'll rep her then lol. What the hell is a 666?

I went to RA and Wags this morning. RA was awesome. I got a 144 oz Tide, 92 oz Tide, and 2 Dove women's body sprays for $7 inc tax. That's not counting the P&G rebate (which I'm not going to do) and the BCC (which will make the deal a mm). Did it 4 times and in & out in under 10 minutes. Then it was on to Wags. I did Crest and Febreze on 3 cards and got two 7/25's and one 10/20. Wags was a little tricky on the Febreze Air $2.30 dq. The price was $3.29 on most of them except on the ones that the dq was for. They were $3.99. It made the cost for an Air, Plug, and Fabric Refresher $1 ea after tax. It wasn't what I was hoping for but with how prices are going up every day I'll take it.

The Devil!!! Thought we had a Devil emoji. This one will have to do for now.

Remember the movie "Damien Omen"?? Kid had 666 tatooed on top of his head. Creepy movie.
