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.
It could have a lot to do with just the position you have to keep it in while it heals, but if it where me, I'd call the Doc.
Never had a broken arm, but damnit if I don't look like I bit the dust on a dirtbike and got road rash. Of course, the Zuri Monster strikes again. She's just so chilled out all the time, I don't *think* when I do something "different" with her..............gah. Yesterday was all about clipping her to a lunge line and we're going to play in the round pen..........right.
>insert choice swear words fondly used by truckers and others<
See, Zuri can bolt with her head pulled around almost into her shoulder, And maybe I should have clipped her onto the lunge line AFTER I got her in the round pen, instead of where she had, oh, like say 100's of feet of open space. And she can "run" just on her back feet, Actually it's an amazing feat, should think about letting her join the circus.
It takes about 24 hours for my body to register pain. But this time, I got ice on my knee before it could start talking to me, took a couple of aspirin, and it's not too bad this morning. Going to love the scars on my shoulder when the scabs fall off, the old forearm is just mottled with bruises from pebbles.
On another note, Zubaz and Star got to spend the last few days together. Lots of whinnying, snorting, mayhem, but they're in love.
What color their foal will be is going to be a mystery. Have all of Zubaz's pedigree, but Star came from a mustang roundup on BLM 13 years ago. She had one foal prior, a little buskin filly out of who knows what stallion out there with the wild horses. She was pregnant when they rounded her up but didn't know it.
Today I'm going to pull the swan eggs out....they were all infertile. Bummer. But the incubator is all set up for the peafowl eggs when they start laying here shortly, so that's a good thing. The swans have 2 eggs under them, who knows what will happen to them. Going to blow out the swan eggs and add them to my collection. Juan is shooting blanks, I suppose. He hasn't in past years, but they never stayed on the nest long enough for the babies to hatch.
Now for some very interesting documentaries: Finally got around to watch
"Gasland". OMG. A "must see" if your State allows fracking. It's appalling what politicians can do to fly under the radar when people's health and the environment is concerned. I'm going to watch
"Gasland 2" tonight. I am so glad that natural gas has not been found in Arizona, although I'm going to do some research on what's going on in the 4 Corners. That area was marked as a natural gas area, and I'm kinda wondering if that's whats causing these big "booms" around here from the earth's plates moving and that earthquake last year in Sedona.
Another must see: "Fed Up" narrated by Katie Couric. Another political snafu with the sugar lobbyists and special interest groups. Good bye "Cinnamon Toast Crunch", looks like my breakfast buddy will be Quaker Oats with my blueberries. When I started converting the grams of sugar in to teaspoons, I was like "you have got to be ******* kidding me." 4 grams of sugar equals 1 teaspoon.
http://www.newhealthguide.org/How-Many-Grams-Of-Sugar-In-A-Teaspoon.html I'm not a soda drinker, but a can of coke has 44 grams of sugar, that's 11 teaspoons. I know women who can't go through a day without several cans of Pepsi, Coke, or RC cola.
Divide the grams by 4 and you have your teaspoon value. The food product makers were slick, use grams instead of teaspoons because how many consumers actually know the conversion?
That's it for a bit, going to read posts and chill a bit before I go out and play with Zuri.........:truce:
