Wow! The Stock Market makes a record bull..et! Going up to 497.48

The stock market really is looking good for that remarkable positive happening to have occurred.
And I also suppose that Cheney is eating his words that continue to spray venomous anti-Obama trash, such as, “that he believed the new president had damaged national security by overturning some of the Bush administration's anti-terrorism policies.”
Our new man in office is doing just fine, and he has his work cut out for him undoing the damage that Bush did internationally.
And ninety percent of America agrees with our new president’s way of handling our new foreign policy.
Sir, just keep up the good work.
You are a naturally good person so just trust that and it will continue to take you on the right path.

Now I will get back on my usual topic, me.
Last night was horrendous pain wise.
I got no sleep to speak of what-so-ever, and tried several times during the day to lie down and catch up, but that was only the daylight version of last night’s misery.
Nothing is working.
I have tried medicine for pain and not so strong Tylenol P.M. and nothing is helping, wine will now, I am told cause me cancer? I don’t need more problems, who does?
Since these newest groupings of painful times is more than likely attributed to my arthritis but I am sure my MS shouts out that its pain is in the mix too.
I do know that my hips and shoulders are in dire need of repair or replacement, and even my right thumb, the match to my left that had joint replacement back in 2001 is acting up severely, it’s called Basilar Joint Arthritis.
I let them do my left that August before 9/11, but I thought my right hand wasn’t as bad, although the surgeon felt it should have been done soon too.
The left had been in a brace for a year and a half and was deformed to a forty percent degree, and touching my bath towel sent me into excruciating pain. The whole process took a total of four months to heal. You see the surgery is the short part, anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours; mine was the latter for some reason. Then they put your whole hand and arm in a piano splint, fiberglass open one with ace bandage, and when the incisions heal they put you in a cast about ten days later for a period of six weeks, lastly they have you go through two months of occupational therapy, and all this for a thumb. That was my twelfth surgery. In 2002, I had bi-lateral surgical breast biopsies, which made my total a baker’s dozen, which fortunately was benign, benign, but frightening just the same since I had hyperplasia ten years before, and my Mom had, had breast cancer.
Since then it has been pretty quiet, but I am very sorry now that my thumb on the right hand was not done then, but I am right handed was my reasoning.
And so this new realm of miseries is not something I wanted or looked forward to.
Let’s be honest here who does?
I suppose having seven types of arthritis and MS too it was going to be an eventual possibility.
You know the expression what goes around comes around?
I have never been an angel by any means but I do believe I have paid my dues in multiples over these many years.
You know that thing about difficulties causing character, well; I could stake my claim there too.
Anyone who knows me personally can tell you that I am a definite character.

I really thought that this would be an interactive Blog, but it has not turned out that way…help world…I’m taking any ideas on pain management, and let me assure you I have tried everything including, even acupressure, PT, physical therapy, OT, occupational therapy and NMT, Massage therapy, which I was in all of those 14 times, Aquacize, which I am a certified instructor of, and will begin again when our pool warms up. Anything else that is not too off the wall would be an intelligent asset to learn about.

On that heartfelt plea I bid you all good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
