Make A Random Statement About Something Nobody Should Care About

[ER]

My mother in law asked me to please buy her Halloween treats for her to give out Thursday, and on one hand I know candy is traditional, but considering it's my mother in law and her windows getting soaped would be funny, I am toying with letting her give out those little individually-wrapped prunes.

Too sociopathic?

Okay, so, I just had a stroke.
The MRI says it's my 2nd one, meaning I probably wouldn't have known or cared, except that a medication change earlier this year exacerbated my depression & anxiety, so instead of switching me to something else, my shrink added a new sleeping pill, which exacerbated the symptoms of an inner ear infection, which coincided with a pinched disk in my back, and now I can't feel anything in my right butt cheek, ankle, armpit,  or this large area between my right hip & ribs, but it's all good.....

I'm back home after a three day look-see & up & walking around, although it 'did' cause me to miss two appointments to update my Medicaid, & now I might lose the Magellan supplement for it, even though I still have ninety days to update the Medicaid, & My Medicare & Magellan supplement for it are still good for a while to come.....

I tell ya, it's really awkward when I sit down to take a dump, and I can't feel half my @$$..............

[RCMerchant]

^ WTF, man! That's f**ked up!
You'll be ok!

Yeah, my sugar's always been normal, but my blood pressure & cholesterol are always through the roof....

I could say the usual platitudes but, man, make changes. Don't be beaten without a fight.

Dying is easy and change is hard, so I hope you do the tough thing and fight like hell to get better and stay better. I've lost two people I loved to strokes and I hate them. I just f**king hate everything about them, how they steal who a person is, and then kill that person. Good luck and I'm glad you're still around.

Seriously, take care.

I dig what you say, it's my reaction, but some of them words are... sharp.  Sometimes its stroke, sometimes it's myocardial infarction, sometimes its the meds that doctors prescribe, sometimes body chemistry will yield high sugar and cholesterol even with restricted diet, medication, PT.   Change may be an answer, but we are so often in a whirlwind, hanging on.

Oh my gosh!  So glad you're OK!  Very sorry about your butt cheek.

I think LilCerb's statement is something we should actually all care about: wishing you all the best.

I sometimes gets an irresistible urge to walk with my eyes shut, and so a few days ago I was doing that inside a store and it was so early hardly anyone was there, the aisle was empty, so I started off walking as straight as I could down the aisle, not looking, and time gets distorted when you do that and you start feeling like you've gone farther than you think you have, so I kept pressing on despite the compulsion to open my eyes and look and finally I heard someone say, "Hey, come on." So I did look and I was a few feet away from walking straight into a cart pushed by a woman and her kids, in grabbing snacks for school. Oops....

I felt like an ijit.

[RCMerchant]

^ Yeah.
Some folks do it all the time. Of course they got a white cane and dark glasses.

On this night in 1974, Ronald Clark O'Bryan of Pasadena, Texas ruined it for everybody, by becoming the only recorded case in history of someone poisoning Halloween candy, when he murdered his own son with a Pixy Stix laced with cyanide.

No costume today, just been telling everybody I'm a doppelganger.

[Alex]

I dressed as myself and told everyone that I was someone else dressed as someone they thought they knew.

Not doing Halloween this year.
Not because I'm frustrated with it like I am with all my other stuff, or because I hate the kiddies.
It's because I got myself in financial trouble in August & September, so I can't afford it this year, not to mention just getting over a medication change, ear infection, pinched disk & a stroke.

I hear coyotes howling right now and every time they do our puppies sit up and look interested.
