that usually occurs in the great toe. However, anything is possible.

I have no recollection of the events (sm)
when I had conscious sedation for my colonoscopy, but evidently I was writhing so much they stopped it and had me reschedule for it under IV sedation.
I was informed that it was not safe to perform it if the patient moved around too much, especially due to pain.
LOL! Oh really? A trauma pt not getting surgery because their wasn't a typed sm
report in the system? Either you are exaggerating a bit or the trauma doc is an idio**. Never, in all of my years, have I known a trauma doc to deny surgery or not perform surgery due to a simple note not being typed. Emergency care if emergency care and they WILL bypass dictations with a simple use of the telephone! The trauma surgeon, in that instance, would have phoned the doc to receive any and all information on the patient if he needed any to proceed with surgery. I WISH my life as an at-home MT now were that special or important!
No gout but
there is some RA and I actually thought about lupus due to some other symptoms I have been having but did not connect this arm thing with that until now. :) I will make an appointment. Thanks!
The cat happened Monday. Toilet trauma was Wednesday.
I think I'm fine...just accident prone this week.
Any gout in your family? - sm
My dad has gout and it affects his feet. I had my first gout attack a couple years ago (none since luckily) to my knees (I had taken a short walk that day through a hilly neighborhood, walked about 1.5 miles maybe). The attack happened about 6 or so hours later, knees got red and swollen, felt hot, and hurt a lot. Took Tylenol PM and was able to get to sleep. I was not all better in the morning but improved, and it has not happened since and that was almost 3 years ago. I did not go to a doctor but am pretty darn sure that is what it was. I have been checked for RA and lupus in the past and had a false-positive, then on recheck definitely negative. So that is always a possibility as well. But since you have had 3 attacks/episodes I would go to your PCP and get it checked out. Can't hurt.
Have you been tested for gout? - nm

Give me a break. We are in medical records. I am not a trauma surgeon nor am I sm
an RN or even an LPN. I am on the administrative side for a reason. I originally went to college 3-1/2 years, to be a medical technologist (working in-house in a lab), and during those grueling 8:00 classes and labs all day, every day, I chose to get into the administrative part of medicine. So, you don't have to tell me about this being 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know all about the 24-hour healthcare industry. I also did my intern at a 24-hour urgent care center, again, showing me that I DID NOT want to, nor could I, be available for someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I know it is a privelege to work for him and I work Saturday AND Sunday. Tell me, as a manager, do you work every weekend?
Gout causes pain, inflammation, and
hard nodules, but I have not heard of bruising with it.
My first thought is gout, but if it is only associated with using your foot pedal I'm not sure.SM
Have you tried using your other foot with the pedal and elevating the foot that is swollen and hurts. I always switch my feet throughout the day and elevate the one I'm not using.
mmmm--could be....maybe....possibly..nm

Now I see the pig and possibly you laying out there!
it's 5:19 pm Sunday 8/19........now you're playing with pig...*lol*
Great webcam!!!
I would say possibly a little older
I don't have a son, but I would say I would wait until he was maybe a little bit older. I don't see anything wrong with boys wearing earrings. Like I told my husband who said he'd kick my daughter out of the house if she ever got a tattoo (she's 14 now and would be too young now and doesn't want one anyway), and I told him as long as she wasn't doing drugs or being promiscious, a tattoo would be the least of our worries. By the way, to the other posters, to each his own, but I don't see why you feel the need to criticize. My old boyfriend had an earring and my almost 60 year old neighbor has one too and he is very successful. If in time he doesn't want one he can let the hole close up. What's the big deal?
sounds like it could possibly be (sm)
a memory management error which is usually hardware related.
Either 1 or 2 - whichever I could possibly wear somewhere else. nm

Then where is the killer? Everyone, except possibly you and 13 other people sm
know he did it and so no one is looking for this horrific, terrible person out there - why haven't there been others in that area after they were killed?
Thanks for the idea, and possibly inspiring another one...sm
Hmm, that just might work. One tree trunk is pretty wide, but good idea for the smaller ones and for my neighbor's. Your idea got my brain working (ow, ow) and maybe for the big tree, I will try tying a *necklace* of large garden containers--the black plastic ones. Thanks. 
If soft porn could possibly be more

The first 2 sentences belonged to someone else, possibly
hating the fact they had raised the us you speak of. Again, don’t hate what you and others really missed out on, a good time and wonderful time for growing up. Times have changed and for the worse. We had no cursing, shootings, killings, bullying in the schools, we respected the teachers, kids wore what parent could afford and no one said anything to them about their lack of name clothing, we could play outside until dark, no problem, kids not kidnappened and murdered like now, what a glorious time. I raised some really good adults, not snarky ones either.
No, now she can have up to 16 minis at one time. She can't possibly leave
them for extended periods of time. This is her business. I understand that part. And I'm sorry to have to hear from a stranger that my mom has been avoiding me for 16 years because she "really" doesn't want to. Thanks.. sign
You looking to visit, vacation, or possibly move there? nm

I didn't think anything could possibly make me laugh
yesteday, but I had the day off and went to a movie with my friend and her granddaughter, who is my neighbor. It was (think I have this right) When Chuck married Larry . . . that's close. Anyway, I would advise anyone who needs some laughs to see it! I found myself laughing out loud, and in light of everything right now that felt good! Treat yourself. It's a hoot. I knew when I saw the cast it had to be good!
Updating- the ones posting about possibly end of life
for her could be right. I just had her to the Vet's this week, just to weigh because she has lost weight (thyroid problem for 1 thing). I also have heard of animals wanting to leave as they get close to end of life so I am not shocked, in fact was wondering if this was what perhaps might be going on with her. She is around 20 and was born at my home so naturally I would hate even though I have known for some time about the age limits for cats. I do not think she is in pain, just roaming all around instead of her using napping 24/7 and then the vocals, not her at all. I will continue to love and pet as much as I can between my work hrs and if she should get to where I think in pain, definitely go back to vet's with her. I really appreciate the information above. Thanks to everyone.

WOW
I agree. You need to talk to teacher, possibly higher up.

AP just covered the story so quite possibly true comment. How sad.

Sounds like sleep paralysis (and possibly hypnagogic hallucinations) to me. sm
If it has only happened to you a few times in your life, it's probably nothing to worry about. It happens to some folks now and then.
It can, however, sometimes be a sign of other sleep problems (like chronic sleep deprivation, or even narcolepsy) and, if it persists, it would certainly be worth mentioning to your physician, who may decide to have a sleep study just to investigate further.
You aren't possibly related to that vice-president some years back who SM
spelled potato incorrectly are you? LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist that one! Have a good sandwich! 
Are you the Anon who was worried abt possibly violence or hubby taking your kids? m
Best of luck to you for taking the steps to change your life. I wish you well.
