Trip UP

It's Sweetnesday!

In May, while ascending the stairs with both hands full of Sweetie's breakfast and bowls, I managed to hook my left big toe in the billowy fabric of my right pajama bottom.

As I fell forward, desperately trying to keep all cat food contained, the strain on my toe was extreme.

I had a purple toe for many weeks, and pain.

Was chuffed that I hadn't spilled anything!

Now, in September, the toe still aches.

I bit the bullet, and saw a doctor last week.

He said, "See that extra piece there?  Well, it's not supposed to be there!"

Yup, I'd broken my toe, and nope, nothing to do about it.

The doc said come back if it still hurts in a year, as that is how long this type of thing takes to heal.

If I'd splashed that gushy, smelly stuff all over the staircase, Sweetie would have been upset with having to wait until after the clean-up for noms.

What's a broken toe when her schedule must be maintained?  

Queen Sweet the First: "Harrumph!  Such histrionics, servant.  Allow me to show you how much I appreciate your sacrifice on...my...be...half....Zzzz...zzzz....zzzz..."

And how many folks trip going UP the stairs?

I have talent!

It has been mentioned by a certain somebody that these pajamas are DANGEROUS and should be binned immediately.

But looky, they are my favorite flannel pair, and there are Meowy Catmas Cats.

Perhaps I'll add elastic to keep them from being so billowy.

Sweetie says: "Zzz..zzz...zzzz..."

Went to the doctor recently; they obviously have a weight scale that is broken!

Even though I took off my shoes, removed my sweatshirt, and emptied my pockets...

These cat memes made me laugh; hope you do too.

Images copied from social media, and are meant to look at the light side of "Pandemic 19", using cats.
No disrespect intended.

I DO have cat-food-can-opener elbow!

When I last wrote about my sore elbow, here, I promised to get to the doc to have it checked out.

Well, he tells me it's called 'golfer's elbow', and cranking open cat food cans could surely be the reason for the injury!

Medial Epicondyle to you too, buster!

I am certainly not a golfer, so that's out.  The doc gave me a list of exercises to do, plus the best use of a bag of frozen peas or corn kernels; put it on my sore elbow!  I am to avoid strenuous things that make my elbow hurt (like, duh!).  Funny thing is, at the office, I have to pull open doors to move around the facility, and pulling the doors open KILLS my elbow!  Doc says go slow, take your time, and use good posture. Harrumph...

But the kitties must eat, so I continue to use my left hand to pop those cans open.  Thanks to Katnip Lounge and Tails From The Foster Kittens for suggestions on can-opener devices.   Oh, and the chiropractor doc has found a few spinal areas that need work too; kids, take it from me, treat your back NICELY when you are young, otherwise it will come back to haunt you later on...believe me when I say this!

has nothing to do with today's post, but she's a cutie!
