Usually that is in the calf, is it not?

Ugh...I just don't need this right now.

I'm thinking about starting Curves again. I used to go but had to have surgery on my ankle and

just never started back up again.  I was thinking when the kids start school, I might start going right after the leavein the morning.  I don't start work until 10 a.m.  I loved it the first time around.  I get bored really easy and so constantly switching machines and moving around really appealed to me.  I lost about 20 pounds the first time, but then I gained it all back and then some after my surgery cause I had to be off my feet for about two months and then of course my VERY sedentary job as an MT.


We should get buddy system going on here where we encourage each other and stuff.  Cause I don't have any real life buddies to go with me.  When you work at home, you're sort of isolated.  Plus I just moved to a new place and only know my sister and she is a full-time RN with a very crazy schedule and loooooong hours.


Your ankle won't be healed in 3 weeks?? I have sprained my ankle before and usually a week tops
granted I don't know the "circumstances" but I really find it hard to believe you can still work (footpedal) but cannot drive in 3 weeks. If you are still in so much pain and on crutches then, then you have much more than a sprain.
Yeah, I was actually thinking it would
help me lose the poundage and tone up to do a dance class.  It's great cardiovascular exercise.
Yeah, that's just what I was thinking. You took
Another word that comes to mind is "management".
Yeah, I'm the one with issues. You just keep thinking that.
nm.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that lately.
We just had a new Starbucks open up here, but it's 10 miles away from my house.  No way am I going to drive that far.  They only pay their managers $8 an hour.  As it is, both times I've been in there, they've messed up my order and the drink wasn't even hot.  Yuck.  Lukewarm mocha latte.
Yeah, you're right...what was I thinking?

Yeah, I was kind of thinking it is pretty obvious
what she meant by her post. I think the other poster just has some issues with this subject and was being a little sensitive.
Have one all the way around my ankle and am considering another! sm
I am setting a personal goal for myself that if I can lose 30 pounds, I "get" to have another tattoo; haven't decided on small of back or back of shoulder! I love my first tattoo and have had many compliments on it, so I think more would see it on the back of my shoulder. It really didn't hurt that bad, but after having kids, I have a pretty good pain tolerance. It really just felt like someone was scratching you and kind of got used to it once it went on for about 10 minutes! Filling in the color does hurt a little more, but it was really and truly not that bad!!! Good Luck :)
ankle pain
You know, my ankle has been hurting for the last month or so.  I never thought to attribute it to my foot pedal.  But it is the foot I use on the pedal. 
popping ankle

Tendon which runs through and along the ankle 'slips-out' of the channel in the bone in which the tendon normally rests and slides through (kinda like a belt or rope in a pully.  Due to a couple of different reasons the tendon can become disloged from the "process" and get pinched.  The popping is made when the tendon snaps back into place.


Can't type with a broken ankle?
Can't believe I am this right sided!  I have a broken ankle (right) and can't seem to coordinate my left foot on the pedal with my hands on the keyboard!  I know this will pass, but it sure is wierd!!!!
Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle and cannot drive (sm)

so that is why I was going to take the Amtrak!


The SOBs won't pick me up.  How's that for family. 


solving leg/ankle edema
Yes, it comes from sitting too long. Try standing up and moving around a bit more during the day, or take 15 minutes and put your feet up above the level of your heart to alleviate dependent edema.

You might also try adjusting your chair so it doesn't cut off your circulation at the back of the knees, or even putting something under the desk to put your pedal on to make it a graded elevation instead of lying flat on the floor.

Hope that helps!
ankle edema question

I am very concerned because just recently I started getting pitting edema in my ankles.  They are extremely bad.  I can't wear socks it is so bad.  I don't have a clue what could be causing it.  I did have 3 kidney stones last year that I don't think ever passed out of my bladder but I have no more trouble out of it.  Then no other problems.  I dont go to the restroom hardly at all, which has me worried.  I have tried Lasix which worked but I get scared because I feel dehydrated.  Mouth is dry, etc.  It has me worried for DVT or CHF.  I am only 38.  


Any ideas what else it could be or if I am needing to go to ER ASAP.  I dont have insurance so I dont want to go if it is just from sitting at the computer all day and is normal. 


tia,


Anyone have ankle swelling in their pedal foot? sm

Does anyone else have swelling in their calf/ankle/foot after a long day of typing?  Also I have shin splint symptoms in the anterior shin which I think may be from just overuse.  I have been doing this type of work many years and am overweight.  Just wondering if anyone else has these sort of symptoms because I am wondering if it is just from MTing and weight or if I need to go to the doc and get tests run.


 


Thanks


Not me, but kids' friends have them. Behind your shoulder or on your ankle would be nice. nm

Speaking of Kenny Chesney, is anyone thinking what I am thinking? see message
When I hear the words, "annulment" and "fraud" in the same sentence, I can only think of one thing.  Anybody else thinking the same thing?
My ankle pops. It's not painful, but occasionally it will get stiff and then pop very loudly.

Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."

Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
LOL, that's exactly what I was thinking
Let's try to focus on the original question, not debate the evils of daycare. I agree, many discussions on this board do end in negativity, but I thought this one was going pretty well until we hit the nerve about daycare.

I think Kira has been given a lot of great information from a lot of different points of view. It's all food for thought.
My thinking too - thus the OMG nm
 
That's what I was thinking.
It sounds like a case of misdirected anger here.  Grandma was probably waiting for the right moment instead of springing bad news on them the moment they came through the door.  Are you going to all have a yelling match late at night when your'e tired from your trip and all the kids are home?  Better to wait until they're at school and discuss it like rational adults.  How many times has the kid been arrested and suspended before now?  The kid is the one who was wrong by misbehaving in the first place.  If he's such a bad seed, why did he get left with Grandma anyway?  Everyone knows Grandparents aren't as good as enforcing rules as parents are.  All this communication and responsibility nonsense is control freak bunk.  The kid wouldn't have been arrested and suspended if you truly had honest and open communication.  Why was he arrested and suspended anyway?
That's exactly what I was thinking

I was just thinking. . . .sm

I have a friend that was a Pug breeder. Unfortunately the "Pug couple" only had one litter as the female had major problems with her first and only litter.  She still has the male and female who are almost 10 years old and in good health.


She "rescued" a "Puggle" (Pug/Beagle cross) a few months ago and that poor dog had the worst gas. STINK!  It was just awful.  She was feeding him Iams just like her older Pugs, but he would make everyone run outside.  We had him in the car one day and we were all ready to just bail.


I'll have to ask her what she did to make the Puggle stop clearing out the neighborhood.


I too have been thinking about it...sm
I have not raised my price for five years and am seriously considering going up another penny maybe after the holidays.  I too pick up and deliver and we all know the cost of gas!  Anyway, I think I am due or overdue!!! 
by that thinking
We should all be speaking Native American, they were here first!

people calling eachother "DAWG" - how stupid is that.

I was tought to type way back in the 10th grade. We learned right from the start not to look at the keys. Why do you need the letters to stay on?? I really don't understand it.
Thinking about it.

I have a BS that isn't that marketable (at least all of my A&P, Patho, etc.. were useful for this job) and am contemplating the same thing.


I have thought about outpatient primary care nursing since I don't really want to work in an inpatient environment.  I originally wanted to get my BSN but got sidetracked and am thinking about going back through a BS to BSN program sometime in the future.


My kids are 2,3 and 7 and while I know some people can do it, I think it would be really hard to go to RN school at this point in my life. Your child is older and it might be easier for you, but it will still be tough. You have to get to clinicals early and often stick around to get more information on your pt at the end. The night before your clinical, I have heard RN students have to do tons of prep work - you have to know your pt's medical condition inside and out and have all of your nursing diagnoses and care plans set up. 


Its a lot of work but the career is very rewarding and the pay, despite all of the kvetching, is pretty darn decent. 


If it is something YOU want to do, talk to an advisor.  Get the lowdown on it.  When I was in college the first time, the RN program had an information session for prospective students that included a Q and A with a current student.  But, make sure it is your goal - I let people convince me to go pre-med and within a semester I realized there was no way I wanted to be an MD.  Had I stuck to my desires instead of what someone else wanted for me and thought was a better choice, I might have been a pretty good nurse by now.


Good luck. Lots of people do it. It is much harder than when you have no kids but people do it all of the time. 


If the guy is really as bad as she has us thinking,
and she could lose her current job and any future job. I am beginning to wonder if the site should start a "Support your local Jodi" page.
I'm thinking about getting the DVD, too. sm

I can't believe I didn't watch this show from the beginning.  I just really started watching it this season.  Now it's a must see show for me!


I really don't know what he was thinking......I just think he is
heartless and thought maybe he could leave the country and not have to come back or something??? I really don't know. I just think he put the gun back thinking he had cleaned it good and that no one would ever think to check that gun since noone knew it had been gone. As far as the computer, the porn looks bad if he is guilty but the fact is looking at porn doesn't make him guilty. On the other hand, if you take the computer then it does look like you are hiding something. He probably just didn't think about the computer....None of it makes sense to me either. I think he just killed her and then wasn't sure what to do.....
Don't know what I was thinking...
All of this is new to me. Forgive the stupid question.  I get how it works now.  Thanks.
Yes, I was thinking that I would...
need to gather some references, maybe a book or two. I have done some reports, but not a wide range. That is why I was hoping to get some imput from people who do psych on a regular basis.

Any references, info would be greatly appreciated :)
What are they thinking...?
I have looked into it and, quite frankly, it looks absolutely ridiculous. All these outrageous rules, especialy when a man (who came up with the theory) decided a woman shouldn't make any noise while giving birth (but she can have all the drugs she wants) and some goofball decides for his wife that's the thing to do! Go figure.

Exactly what I was thinking
Taylor was already an established entertainer, maybe not hugely successful, but already had his on stage persona established. Elliott, for example, was undiscovered and uncharted territory. Ready to be molded. I have read on the AI message board that some people just "couldn't get past the teeth". Well, uh, I think he can afford to get some work done now if he so chooses. To me a talent show should be about undiscovered talent, someone who grows tremendously during the competition. Can ya tell I'm an E fan. LOL.
I'm thinking it is because
it is just as easy to chat here on the boards?
i'm thinking you could
but don't really know about laptops. I was just looking yesterday about replacing my KVC and saw lots of variations. Could probably get your answer from one of these on-line sites or just call a local 'puter guy and see.
not sure about this, but when I was thinking-sm
about doing this, I was told I would need a program that would *transfer* the video from the camera to the computer, and I believe it is Dazzle, or something like it...once that is done, you could use your editing program. but again....not sure, as I have not actually done it. This is just what I was told. Good luck.
Thinking that may be...

one of the reasons his wife left. Not that I would hold it against him, obviously.   LOL!


What was he thinking???!!!
What a very painful thing to do to your son. He should have called you or atleast tried a more sensible approach (OTC products) to take care of the problem.

Your family physician can refer your son to a podiatrist, but most PCP's treat plantar warts right in the office with a procedure known as cryotherapy (freeze method.) It is a quick, relatively painless (some temp. burning) method that works well. In the office I work at children and adults of all ages have this done without much complaint. I would check into it. Kudos for taking pictures of his sores on his foot and sending the documentation to your attorney. Every piece of documentation counts in a situation like this.
I'm only 26 and thinking that already.
It's a shame we spend so much of our time trying to make a living, with any job really. My son is 7 now, and it is really starting to hit me that I only have so much more time with him until he is off to college.
That is what I was thinking that you could always
do something different with it as well, but you can do that with the dental too, teaching, etc.

I have read some nursing forums (there are not many I can find for the dental side) and have seen how they say they have to clock out after their 12 hours and do charts and could be working still 14-15 hours later because of the charts. That is why I am really leaning toward the dental hygienist program, but I just don't have many people that I have come across that can tell me more than the generic info I am finding on the internet.

my way of thinking
I do think of the first letter of each word when it comes to phrases ... but I have trouble remembering a lot of phrases, unless it's one that I've heard 10,000 times.

And then come the was/were combination: The wound was irrigated ... The wounds were irrigated --- The first letter for each phrase is TWWI ... so, how do I differentiate between the two?

And with IT, you're saying that you basically stare at the bottom of the screen?

I was thinking at least $26.
That's what I usually make once I'm familiar with the account. I'm in Missoula. :-)
See, that's what I'm thinking.
People start shouting about cherry picking when they have no idea what is going on with others. All you can worry about is yourself and figure what comes to you is luck of the draw. There are going to be waves of good dictators and bad, depending on who is in the hospital catching up on dictations. Some people just have to think they are getting cheated out of the good dictations is what it always sounds like to me. Nope, we are all getting crappy days and then better days.
Well, I'm not even thinking
HIPPA, I was just reading all this and remembered when I enrolled my kids in school, I was told they had to have that to make sure they were who you say they were and that you are the one that was supposed to have them! So, I was just wondering if that was true. Kind of too late now-they are both in school. What state do you live in, sm?
Maybe in your thinking, but not everyone
I've juggled both, and it worked well.  You are not the norm if you can't be a Mom and have an at-home business.  You must not have what it takes.  I am considered a professional and so should the OP.  Just because she has a baby does not give you the right to say she is giving this profession a bad name.  Shame on you.
That's what I was thinking too.
