I slept rather badly, but little Thatch was extremely affectionate last night and gave me lots of kisses and love bites when I returned from one of way too many bathroom treks.  Annabelle ate quite a lot this morning, but she's still sneezing, only not with the force or frequency that alarmed me on Monday.  I thought I heard Stella sneeze this morning, but she's showing no signs of a cold.

This morning I will go into City Center to proofread a transposition for Love Life.  Joshie likes me to look over transpositions for curious accidentals (e.g., C-double sharp) or strange looking detritus Finake has left behind.

My friend whose two revues I’ve been playing uses an old free, long un-updated and unsupported program called Encore. If I were to be compensated for the hours spent correcting just the sins that I, myself, can readily identify, I’d be a rich man. That experience has been the primary inspiration for my own determination to become reasonably proficient at Finale. (And boy, do I still have a long way to go.)

I am really surprised that I slept through the night. And that it didn't hurt at all. I slept on my back or on my left shoulder/side (right shoulder is the one that got whacked). It doesn't feel good to lift/carry anything. But otherwise I think that I got very lucky.

Oh my, DR Jrand69, you are solidly in snow. Looks like DR Ginny is getting some now, too.

We are being blessed with none of it, I'm happy to say. In fact, this is the nicest (read: least snowy) February I've known in my thirty years here. There might have been one just as good some years back, but it was a long time ago.

Yes, DR ChasSmith, we're getting a sloppy mix of precipitation that can't make up its mind to be rain or snow.  Perfect for my 1pm appointment with the orthopedist...

I haven't needed to, yet.  I'll see what it's like to raise the table with the lamp attached because there's a little table right behind my desk and the lamp clamp has to fit in between the two, so I'll need to pull out the little table a bit to make room for the clamp.

It went fine, DR JRand, thanks for asking.  I’m kind of in charge of my own treatment for now.  He said I can be out of the boot as tolerated, but not to go “cold turkey.”  He also recommended orthotic inserts for my shoes and I have a prescription for physical therapy.  After about 6 weeks (from now), if there’s not significant improvement, the next step is an MRI.

I have had issues with orthotics and recommend, if possible, what you purchase has a money back guarantee.  I practically live in my Saucony running shoes that are designed for people who pronate.  Hopefully your orthotics & PT will make a big difference.  Oh, ask if you need to go up a shoe size for the orthotics.

I'm on episode six of Hunters, which I'm determined to finish just to see how low this show can sink.  I have lost ALL respect for Jordan Peele after this travesty - maybe he exec produced for the money, allowing Amazon to buy his name, but shame on him.  This show just jumped the shark six times in fifteen minutes.  I have NEVER seen anything this bad in my life and I highly recommend watching it if a) you can stomach the stupid and sickening violence, and b) want to see just how bad a show can be.

I stopped at Whole Foods Market today to stock up on what I could. There was a Japanese woman in line in front of me. She didn't have that many items in her cart, but her bill was $131! I'm still trying to figure out how she spent so much. She didn't seem surprised.

DR Jeanne, best of luck with your taxes.  I hjope your new tax man treats you well.

Thank you. Between the changes to the tax laws and now taking the RMD from my IRA I'm having to rethink some things. Just having someone who's happy to explain things helps.

I watched the first 90 minutes of the debate before deciding it was time to go to bed.  There was too much chaos.

I find them too contentious. I may be a minority of one, but I don't feel this approach puts the candidates in a good light or is particularly helpful. The DNC and I don't think alike at all!

Because of the extremely red, irritated eye issue I have been dealing with for too long I moved my yearly eye check-up a few months early.  I should have gone to the doctor for the problem 6 months ago.  She is calling in a prescription for steroid drops. 

I had to use steroid eye drops before and after the cataract surgery. I had headaches for three months after the surgery, which I attribute to the drops. I know you are sensitive to things, as I am, so be careful. Hopefully, they won't bother you.

I picked up my eye drops at the pharmacy and was told my insurance didn't cover them.  I took them anyway.  As I was walking away I received a text saying the pharmacy was going to contact my doctor about getting the script authorized & did I want to optout of them. 

Even if I had received the text, or the information, before I paid for them I think I still would have paid the full price.  I really am tired of my eyes constantly hurting and being red.

I wonder how DR GINNY's appointment went today?

It went fine, DR JRand, thanks for asking.  I’m kind of in charge of my own treatment for now.  He said I can be out of the boot as tolerated, but not to go “cold turkey.”  He also recommended orthotic inserts for my shoes and I have a prescription for physical therapy.  After about 6 weeks (from now), if there’s not significant improvement, the next step is an MRI.

DR Ginny, I've been wearing orthotics for almost ten years and have been very happy with mine. I know many people buy them, then never wear them, but I'm the opposite. Mine were custom-made by a podiatrist. I LOVED the first pair. My feet changed after several years and I had a new pair made, which I like, but don't love, but still would not want to be without them. Not all shoes take the orthotic equally well, though. Overall, for me they've been well worth the cost.

Jane, both of my custom-made orthotics have several different-colored layers to them, then the top layer is leather. It's possible that the very thin layer is cork. Sorry I can't tell you more. I suspect that this is one of those things where the right fit is paramount. When I asked for a new pair that gave a little more support the orthotic became stiffer, and thus not quite as comfortable.

I used a ready-made orthotic for several years, recommended by my osteopath. Ready-mades are not expensive and the one I had was comfortable and helped me. There used to be a chain of stores that sell ready-mades in all sizes and contours. You can try them on before you buy them. That would be ideal. Don't know if that chain is still around. Don't recall the name, either.

And on that note (C-natural), I'm outta here.  I'm going to get some cat food, then I'll head home.

Be back later.

I won't be able to finish Sanditon today. The last two episodes will have to wait until tomorrow.

I am enjoying it, but I will say that Andrew Davies has stolen liberally from himself, right down to our heroine spying our hero bathing, right out of his Pride and Prejudice.

Theo James as the hero is a well worth giving a nude scene to.

Last episode.  I thought I was going to escape this series without actually screaming at the computer screen, but alas, episode nine got me and scream I did.  So, will episode ten redeem everything with even more smart-ass BS, more speechifying, more characters behaving stupidly, more Alias antics, more Tarantino-bad dialogue.  We await.

George thanks for all of the photos and satisfying my curiosity.  Plus I can now imagine your workspace.

Jane, Dr Scholl's has an interesting system for orthotics:

Thanks.  I believe I have tried these but will look again.  As you mentioned in your previous post stiff can be an issue as I also need extra cushioning.

At the dentist. It promises to be a long one.

Root canal? Crown? Implant?

It was a chipped tooth.


Dental vibes to John G.

I wonder how DR GINNY's appointment went today?

It went fine, DR JRand, thanks for asking.  I’m kind of in charge of my own treatment for now.  He said I can be out of the boot as tolerated, but not to go “cold turkey.”  He also recommended orthotic inserts for my shoes and I have a prescription for physical therapy.  After about 6 weeks (from now), if there’s not significant improvement, the next step is an MRI.

DR Ginny, I've been wearing orthotics for almost ten years and have been very happy with mine. I know many people buy them, then never wear them, but I'm the opposite. Mine were custom-made by a podiatrist. I LOVED the first pair. My feet changed after several years and I had a new pair made, which I like, but don't love, but still would not want to be without them. Not all shoes take the orthotic equally well, though. Overall, for me they've been well worth the cost.

Jeanne do you know what your favorite orthotics were made from?  A couple of years ago I almost purchased a pair made from cork.  The podiatrist said they were the best, and since I have liked shoes with cork soles I considered trying them. 

Jane, both of my custom-made orthotics have several different-colored layers to them, then the top layer is leather. It's possible that the very thin layer is cork. Sorry I can't tell you more. I suspect that this is one of those things where the right fit is paramount. When I asked for a new pair that gave a little more support the orthotic became stiffer, and thus not quite as comfortable.

I used a ready-made orthotic for several years, recommended by my osteopath. Ready-mades are not expensive and the one I had was comfortable and helped me. There used to be a chain of stores that sell ready-mades in all sizes and contours. You can try them on before you buy them. That would be ideal. Don't know if that chain is still around. Don't recall the name, either.

We have those store in the Northwest, and they advertise that you try them first, and if they don’t work for you, don’t buy them.

My mom has flat feet, as does my sister.  I told my mom about The Good Feet Store and she said that she'd check it out, but I don't think she did.

I think so!  Hopefully, the player will work without any trouble, regardless.
