Ah - well Tangie - I can understand that being stressful and something to watch. Losing weight is never easy, especially as summer rolls to an end either. It makes you wish it was spring, as fall and winter is usually a lot harder time of year to need a new diet. But at least it sounds like your doctor believes it is a controllable situation. It's just a pain when ever something forces one to change things they are used to. I'll be rooting for you for sure.

RJ - letting out a bit of a sigh of relief - the part about no swelling - makes me breath easier, as a deep vein blood clot generally makes the leg with a clot swell - but still the fact you were fine and woke up with it is concerning still. As there are a ton of things that could be indicated and I surely would not care to guess - I just know it really should be looked at - as there are even conditions from a herniated disk to high Hyperglycerits that might show up as wicked and immobilating pain in one leg. It also could indicate a hair line fracture in a leg or even a hip - especially if you have any of the brittle bone conditions that can surface in people around your age. I surely would not dismiss it when it has so much mystery behind how it happened - in case it is systematic or anything else. Unlike 20 somethings, when older folks gets thing they don't just bounce back or can ignor things that can be symtoms. There are so many things that one might dismiss as thinking we might have twisted something, when it might be we injured nothing and it was a sign of something else. I would not serve you at all to guess - not even if I was right there in Texas visiting you - I'd still encourage a doctor look at it RJ. Mystery pains always have a cause when you are over 50.

DD - gosh it seems just like yesterday you were getting that PC and then I sit here and think about it - and my head says yeah - it probably is about time seeing you bought that as a complete unit and all and didn't build it yourself. I have found even those great deals that run so nice when you get them still begs to be replaced after a couple years. So you are right - it is about time. I believe I had just redone some components in mine when you got that one and since then have done more components. Where I do mine more or less a piece at a time - it seems there is always something not very old in my pc.

Hubby has gotten away easy lately as this year I only replaced a harddrive, my internet stuff, and my DVD player. The internet was during the spring, the harddrive was right before Christmas, and we just replaced the dvd player about a month ago. I am just trying to baby this one until we get our finances back on par. Will be a while seeing Pete only earns about 2/3 rds of what he did earn - plus now he has a car to contend with. No more car pool to depend on means the car has to come first. It has to get inspected Friday I believe, even though it has a new sticker on it - it came from Maine and NH only allows you to use the Maine sticker for so many days and it expires the 1st I believe. Apparently something a light or something that needs to stay lit here is not necessary in Maine for inspection - so he has to fix that by replacing what ever that part is that controls air quality. NH is a stinker about air quality so we have to make sure it works.
Boy I might know the body well, and computers pretty well, but cars - forget it. Well anyway - you will enjoy the game better I am sure DD, with the new pc. New is always smoother, even if it is not exactly what you want - it always feels better to play with a new machine - I think anyway.
Yes, shoulder is almost normal tonight. I went and lounged in a calgon type bath only it is all natural but basically the same thing as calgon - and that made me feel almost new - hehehe. Most of the time I just jump in the shower - but tonight I decided to take the herbal bath as a lot of the herbs in it is very beneficial and it smells heavenly like laying out in a summer garden. Then I used the cortisone again after the fact. So not too shabby right now. I did not take another relaxant, as I try not to take them very often, it's not a good idea with my low red cells - but it seems good so far. I still did not play tonight but I did download you new IA Tammie jo - after a royal battle with that stupid hateful smart filter that has been a genuine pain every since Pete put it in here. I had to go through my system as naturally it was not coming up in a search or anything else - who'd suspect it was a browser program - well technically I should have suspected it - but it never once came to mind because I knew it was a Windows program - actually for window 8 - so I was beyond muddled why Pete put it in here and naturally he'd gone to bed. But I eventually found the little demon and disabled it - then I could finally download from media fire. I found out it was in my pc when I went to download the MV version of DM's world and it wouldn't let me - so I have been using the exchange version. Then I tried to get Py's world with the new families - same issue. Then IA - same issue. Seem he added this the same day you added the previous link Tammiejo as I had downloaded that one fine. Seems he did not realize it would stop me from using Media fire as he never uses any of those file share programs. But anyway I finally tracked it down through Window Knowledge base - I couldn't remove it, but I sure as heaven disabled it. But what it is supposed to do is keep you from accidently going on a site or downloading something that may be harmful. Well I am not 12 thank you very much.
So I do have the new version, but will need to remove the old version before I install and it's a bit late tonight.
