want to ask if it's normal to have numbness in arm and hand of broken arm. it's been 3.5 weeks and it still hurts very much so, but the numbness is also uncomfortable. my shoulder hurts, too. i'm a big baby.

Have you told your doctor about the numbness? and which arm? but maybe a pinched nerve?

 

[daisymae]

no, haven't called the doctor and my next visit is on may 12th. will call them tomorrow. thanks! it is my left arm and i'm right handed.

I keep popping in for a short time at the Hilmes thread, but find it very intense and just cannot let myself get too attached right now. After JA and the recent family deaths, I am wiped out. Also, spending a lot of time on two threads related to two young ladies in my area who were murdered. Emotionally, that is about all I can handle for now.

I was surprised at the very different appearance of Holmes. Any thoughts on that? Does he seem to be medicated, or is he paying attention well?

tidying up appearance is standard operating procedure, also the addition of eye glasses. makes him look less menacing, I guess. however, in light of defense going with NG / insanity, they could have left him looking all weird. I believe the defense stated in the opening that he needs to be on drugs due to the severity of his mental illness. I suspect it is a delicate balance to keep him stable enough to be somewhat alert. I'd love to see him take the stand in his defense.

You need to move your hand and arm as much as is allowed by your physician. Can you take the sling off for a short amount of time and prop your arm?

April is almost over, one more day to go from April showers to May flowers. I'm hoping all the bulbs I planted will come up and not rot in the wet soil. I've planted giant elephant ear around the pecan trees, made "pockets" to plant day lilies in between the Nadia and the holly bushes, and plan on taking on (Bernina shames me in all she does.) this big oval of monkey grass that has a yucca plant (came with the house and won't die) and an oak tree and nothing else. I found this huge pack of day lilies that have seventy five bulbs at Walmart yesterday, and some Hosa, and a fern, When they all come up and bloom I'll send photos. I've drug all my plants outside on the front porch until next November. I've spent many nights/mornings sitting on my porch swing, thinking about life and living.

Numbness in your left arm can be a sign of a stroke. If you can take an adult aspirin, that will help with blood clots,

Do F.A.S.T. it's an easy way to remember the sudden signs of stroke. When you can spot the signs, you'll know that you need to call 9-1-1 for help right away. F.A.S.T. is:


F Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven?
A Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "The sky is blue."
T Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so
you'll know when the first symptoms appeared.


When my nephew had a stroke after an eight hour heart surgery he was was in a medically induced coma . When my sister (his mama) saw him in ICU later that day she asked him if he would sing Alberta by Eric Clapton, one of his favorite, and he starting singing. It was wonderful. They said he might not be able to speak. The next day my brother went in to see him and asked if he knew who he was and he opened his eyes turned his head and looked into his eyes and said his name,. We had been told he could of lost all his sight, he did have some loss in his left eye. When I saw him later that night, he was very restless and they were going to put him back under medication , but before I left he said my name and as I walked around his bed to leave I reached down and grabbed the toes on his left foot as I always do and he moved his left leg away from me. We'd been told he could be paralyzed on his left side. He'd showed us and his Doctors that he was in there, he wasn't gone. It was a wonderful feeling knowing what they warned us about hadn't come to pass.

Hello Everyone.

Just dropping in to say Hi.

I've been visiting the Holmes Case.

I have also been experimenting with my new Dell Windows 8 machine that I got for Christmas. I hate it but getting used to it a little bit.

I don't like this Dell as compared to my old HP machine. The case is just so flimsy and the lid is hard to grab to open it. The HP had a much nicer case IMO. The keys on my HP wore through the color and I broke a key off but it lasted many years.
This Dell just doesn't seem to be built as solid IMO.

But it does have tons of memory and is very fast. I suppose my biggest complaint is Windows 8 installed on it. I keep fighting it to find my way around and keep ending up on screens that I have to work to find my way back. Its horrible to get used to it.

I suppose once I memorize how to navigate around it will be easier but right now I hate the way it automatically bounces me all over the place by accident. If I move my cursor in the wrong spot, I automatically am taken to screens that I didn't even want to go to.

Its Microsoft trying to be too fancy for their britches. They are constantly making updates based on what they think we want to do but they are wrong in a lot of situations because I don't want to do that. LOL

At least I have learned how to make the look of it with the old look. I keep having to hit the Windows "hot key" to get away from the APPS screen and keep the look of it the old way with my own ICONS that I put on the desktop. The other thing that is hard is I used to be able to create Shortcuts much easier. I am having a tough time figuring out how to create shortcuts with ICONS but I got a few of them built so it will take some time and Ill finally be able to get all the main ones I use.

Anyway, its been fun playing with the new machine and I like the speed of it. If I can ever get my email setup then I may have to start using this machine all the time so I can start saving things to the hard drive.

Hope everyone is doing good. Stay safe everyone and away from any riots. Bye for now.

 

[daisymae]

thanks, page. I'm not having a stroke or anything heart related. My arm is in a sling and I'm trying not to move it around as the broken bones are knocking each other. pretty sure the numbness is from keeping the arm bent.

Jurors in the Jerice Hunter murder trial speak out (with clip)

"...Their guilty verdict is not something they took lightly; they came forward mostly because of Jerice Hunter's mom outburst in court where she called the jury racists.

"My baby is not dead, you are all going to stop looking for her because she's black, she's not dead you racists," said Hunter's mom.

Two jurors in the trial say race had absolutely nothing to do with the verdict, finding Hunter guilty of murder and child abuse...."

I'm so glad I stuck with Windows 7 when I needed a new computer laptop (thanks to everyone's critique of Windows 8, especially Lamby's.)

Hey, where is Lamby??? Haven't seen her on the Sidebar :scared:
