The Shed 23

a reply to: LightSpeedDriver

I watched it and appreciate you sharing it, I found it fascinating. I'm saving my comment on it to give it a bump in a few days.




Also, it's nice to see you posting again.

WiS,

Merry Christmas to You! Thanks for digging up that old gem, it's an oldie but a goodie!

Bally,

That is similar to the rules here in Vermont where I live.. as long as you are not selling produce/dairy/meat they don't get involved.

There is actually very lax building bureaucracy in our county as well.. if we want to build a garage, or a shed, we don't need a permit.

Although we don't have to deal with all the venomous snakes and spiders,or wild fires or prolonged temperatures above 100° f..

We do have a very limited grow season and it's not uncommon to spend two weeks at a time in sub 0°f. As well as dealing with the ceaseless, unyielding, relentless snow..

You and "truey" show an astounding amount of resilience, I'm sure you will re build and move forward, while respecting the past(your Xmas tree).

/Hugs All!

Gonna hop in the shower before jeopardy, have a great night gang!



Respectfully,

I'll get to your thread when I can Light.

Was ATS glitching out on anybody else today/tonight?

So I see the world is still the same place it was before we had a full moon at 12:12 am on 12/12. That could be considered a good thing I guess. Let's see how things go tomorrow on Friday the 13th.

I've delayed sharing the report of my visit to the neurologist for the most part due to getting very little sleep last night. This could have been due in part to the full moon, who knows? Then again I don't sleep well before doctor appointments as I've said before plus my bladder kept me visiting the bathroom at least every two hours. I'm guessing this is mostly due to the medication I take to reduce the moisture surrounding my heart.

The neurologist and staff seem to be the best medical group I've found so far. As in people who are concerned about my well being and have plans to their own abilities of ways to perhaps make thing better for me health wise.

The appointment today concerned the results of the two MRI's I've had recently. One of my lower back and one of my brain. Yes, I did confirm that there is some sort of brain there. No need for a transplant to a goat's brain or such. The results of the brain scan merely confirmed what I already knew. That of the damaged areas may or may not be the cause of my seizures and mobility issues. Only a further more detailed brain MRI could tell the doctor more. I'm assuming there is such a more defined MRI available. The lower back MRI shows issues with my lower vertebrae from T12 to L5. What this means is I have some bulging disk that are not severe enough to merit surgery. The main bad boy is the L5 which is compressing nerves making things not too fun for me. As I'm no doctor I'll leave out most other details as I don't know of them being any concern to me or understand what they mean.

As something is screwy with my electrical wiring causing my legs to give out on me I get to go through the fun filled experience of having an EMG (electromyogram) done next Thursday. This means I get to lay on my stomach while the tech sticks a bunch of needles in my back connected to wires to see where on my body the current is not working.

Hey Blue. I owe you a PM, but I haven't been on ATS all day except for popping into the Shed now and then. Not very wordy today. I will get back to you though.

Between Mark and I, there are so many damned appointments and tests. I'm rather stressed lately, but I'll be ok.

Sorry you have to go through all your appointments. I get nervous too.

a reply to: DictionaryOfExcuses

I haven't been on much today, but it's been ok when I pop in.

a reply to: Night Star
Your reason for delay is acceptable. Best wishes.

Another one of those nights: i've been waking up all sweaty in the middle of the night from vivid dreams and can't get back to sleep. ATS is slow, of course. Hoping my sleep levels out in the near future, this is getting on my nerves.

Oh my god I just figured it out: I'm going through menopause!

Fin's continues absence is noted. Fin: hope you're ok.

Ahahaha! Menopause.
Hiya DOE! What the heck were you dreaming about? What did you eat before bedtime?

I grab sleep when I can because my body is weird and doesn't seem to like a set schedule.
I will be going out for lunch, errands and groceries later, so if I'm not around you'll all know why.

Yeah, Fin, hope you are ok.

Hello Sir and hello to everyone else too. I am ok now.

This week was demonic. No alcohol or other substances involved.

Let me explain my absence. Monday, i was feeling alright and me and my best friend decided to meet each other at his place, have a couple of beers but not too much, maybe watch a movie. It was a really rainy evening so i stayed for the night. It is always ok, he has keys to my apartment and i have keys to his, so if something strange happens we can come anytime without prior notice.

So then the night between monday and tuesday, i woke up with horrifying pain in my lower back, kidneys and legs. I have absolutely no tolerance for physical pain, because i practically never have it. Mental pain i can handle, they are there every day and they are not real, they are just my mind playing tricks on me.

I tried and tried and tried to find a position for me that the pain is not there. So, so tired. After trying, in an exhausting fever, i found out that sitting on a hard surface (floor) with both knees bent, it is almost tolerable. But everytime i fell asleep in that position, i fell from sitting position to the floor and woke up in killing pain. So desperate. So bad. Cried my eyes out. Couldn't eat anything on tuesday. Or wednesday. Or thursday. Then i thought that i better get my antidepressants and leave my friends place and dragged myself to my apartment, it took an hour of walking, normally it takes half an hour. Today (friday) my friend said that come over if you don't want to be alone.

On my way here, i bought spinach soup, cheese cubes, huge yoghurt and a chocolate bar and i am alright now. He went to sleep and i spent some time to read all the Shed posts i had missed and to post this.

Life goes on. It didn't feel like that earlier, but it does.
No wukkers

Fin, you need to get to a Doctor or emergency room to get checked out. Severe pain means that something is wrong. Don't wait!

a reply to: Night Star

Jeez now that I've been awake a few hours, I don't remember a single dream detail. I ate...ahem...a fast food chicken sandwich with french fries. Not highly advisable immediately preceding bedtime, I suppose, but I was hungry! It's all this kickboxing. Three times this week!

Hope you have a good one.

a reply to: Finspiracy

Sounds potentially like kidney stones. I do not envy you if that's the case. I'd go to a doctor buddy.

It's good to see you too Mike and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video. I hope your harvest has been bountiful this year.

This is quite possibly the most underrated Belgian band ever.

a reply to: DictionaryOfExcuses

I suppose it's a good thing that you didn't remember the dream since you woke up in a sweat and all.
How long is each kickboxing session?
