$50 Your Way April 2023 GIVEAWAY!!
Hello Little Peanuts!! FIRST! There are a couple of cha, cha, changes coming this month. (Did anyone else start singing David Bowie style with that intro!?!?)
I am taking away the option to tell me how you want your prize in the Giveaway Tools. OHHHHH Settle down!! It’s not that bad, if you will just hear me out. The last few winners never acknowledged their win. Which, okay I get that, everyone is busy. It’s only a blog giveaway. (Which does come out of my pocket. So really, a thank you would be nice. BUT again. I understand. (Ohhhhhh did someone wake up on the bitchy side of the bed?? MAYBE!!)
HOWEVER, what if the reason they never acknowledge the win was because the PayPal address was wrong? What if that account was closed? Or I made a typo? So, now y’all get an email and then you can actually watch for your prize to be delivered to your inbox. I mean do we actually know what happens to undeliverable PayPal or Venmo $$?? Same with Gift Cards??
Other than that announcement.
Arms, hands and elbows especially just continue to have more pain. Seriously! This getting old stuff in NOT for the faint of heart! Had an MRI on Monday the 13th. Waiting on results now. Ohhh I may get to update before this publishes? RIGHT? I mean… RIGHT!???
OH MY GOSH What a month. I waited patiently for 2 weeks for the doctor to contact me with my results. EVEN THOUGH I was able to see the write up on the 13th. So, I finally called and asked should I make an appointment for my results? NOPE! I just had fallen through the cracks. After that call I actually had an appointment on the 29th with the Pain Management Doctor. Now we wait AGAIN for the insurance to approve the treatment plan which will be steroid shots in my neck. SERIOUSLY! Do I know how to have fun or what!?!? Hopefully that will happen soon.
As far as crafting goes, it’s slow because well, I HURT. LOL! My hands do not want to cooperate. Not to mention this trigger finger thing is getting ridiculous! It just curls a few dozen times a day. SO ANNOYING!
My new patio doors did get installed. I went from these leaky doors
To these sturdy sliding glass doors. We are very happy with the new doors! Now we have some trim painting to do. But, basically almost done!
Now for the REAL reason you are here………………..
GIVEAWAY TIME!! 
This April Giveaway has the same exact spiel as last month and the month before and the month before that! The year before and well, you get the idea. For as long as this giveaway is popular, I’ll continue to do it. I am truly thankful and feeling blessed that you stop by. A little of the blah blah blah stuff: This giveaway is open worldwide for PayPal, Venmo and Amazon option only. (I’m not sure the other GC would work worldwide) This giveaway is $50 US. This is a giveaway that is hosted only by me. So, by coming back often and staying around for a while, looking at more than one page, really helps me. Of course, any extra clicks on advertisements and of course going through PBnWhine for your regular Amazon Purchases is always appreciated. Going thru my blog does not cost you any additional money!! I do make a 1% commission.
Win $50 Your Way! Tons Of Ways to Enter The $50 Your Way Giveaway!! Comments!! I LOVE COMMENTS and SHARING!! Hint hint!! Okay, so technically, I love all the entries and I’m thrilled you do any of them! Every once and awhile I may add a new entry so be sure to double-check occasionally. Those entries may pop up at any time during the month. Usually in the form of a comment on a certain post.
Since I’m the sole sponsor of this giveaway, you can expect that all of the entries are about me, me, me, me…. and of course ME!!
So, GOOD LUCK!!!
HIT this TWEET button since GiveawayTools still hasn’t fixed the button! (grrrrr!) Then take credit in the entry form. Thank you!!!
This Giveaway Is Closed. However, my $50 Your Way Giveaway is alive and well. Every. Single. Month. I hope you will check it out.

Today is a beautiful day. I got coffee and going to a bbq later.
Amy Nick
It is going pretty good day. Just a lazy Sunday for me
heather
My day is going pretty good so far. I just got in the door from having to run to the store. It sure is nice out here today perfect weather at 63 degrees and sunny.
gloria patterson
a little bit of cleaning and a late breakfast. Now I am thinking about a nice long nap!!
Kate Sarsfield
I was going to go out to my house but have slept & slept. Have to be sensible rather than impatient! I’ll go for a walk later for some fresh air.
Polly Hall
It’s 9am and the day is going well, I’m sure the rest of the day will go well also.
Michele Soyer
Another month come and gone and I feel like nothing really got done – have to push aside the frustration and know there is a reason for the slow movement – Mercury is Rx…..
Shelly Peterson
Today was a busy day but a very beautiful busy day. It was so nice out.
Tamra Phelps
I’m just sitting here half watching one of those true crime shows and looking around online. In other words, being very UNproductive, lol.
l p
lovely day here – having a good time taking advantage of it. thanks lp
gloria patterson
I was up dressed etc by 8am………….. by 9 am I had chicken breast in the oven and eggs boiling. For some odd reason I can cook early in the morning but never feel like doing it in the afternoon or evening………….. thank goodness for frozen meals. I like to have the chicken for salad and sandwichs. About noon decided I needed a nap 3 hours later LOL
Polly Hall
I got some yard work done and even sat outside and read for a while before the cold front moved in.
heather
My day is going pretty good just got home from doing some shopping. I went to Costco and should have known better than to go near that place on a Saturday it was cray cray!
Elizabeth
I’m heading out for Indie Bookstore Day, so excited!
Elizabeth
Not sure what to have for breakfast, so I’ll grab the paper.,,
Michele Soyer
Worked outside yesterday and today is a day of lists and bits and bobs… in this country all there ever seems to be is an endless stream of paperwork that goes on and on – my true opinion is if you no longer are a part of the British empire all these years later move forward with your own systems not antiquated regulations! Just saying…
Kate Sarsfield
Noooooo! It was supposed to be a lie-in, lazy morning day. I woke, wide awake at 7am. Now it’s 9.30am and I’m ready for bed again.
Kate Sarsfield
Having internet problems – hope this comment loads ok. Don’t know where the other one went!
Tamra Phelps
On the way to Lexington today, the bus picked up a lady on a country road and it was lined on both sides by honeysuckle growing wild. I’ve never seen so much honeysuckle, lol. I loved it as a kid. It grew along my Granny’s fence and we would bite the ends off and such out the nectar.
gloria patterson
Off to krogers by 8 :30 and had few other places I needed to stop at. Got back and was unloading my stuff in to a cart (best thing I ever bought) And my nieces husband showed up beside me. He and great niece (how of school friday) were up visting with his mom and little niece she was taking care of. So put all my grocerys away and grabed a few treats that zay likes and went to vist. That little CC would not have anything to do with me. But when comes to visit me she knows what she likes in my apartment. She finally as I was leaving gave me a hug and kiss by
No energy but to late in the day for a nap…………… BUT will make up for the missed nap on saturday
heather
My day is going pretty good so far. I just has a nice lunch at Roadhouse and I am stuffed but boy their prices are crazy for a hamburger $15.00 and the rest on menu were more than that. Needless to say I ate is all and probably won’t be back for a while.
Polly Hall
Heading to the lake house for the weekend soon
Elizabeth
I might get to go to a dim sum place for lunch if I play my cards right…
clynsg
Quiet so far. Just had a discussion with my grandson who will be going on a business trip in his new job in about a week–he has never flown through DFW, so I gave him some info on it from my days of business travel!
Shelly Peterson
I didnt have my grandson today so I got to sleep longer. That was nice.
Michele Soyer
Up and moving early – so much debris from the heavy rainfall branches coconut tree leaves what a mess…
Tamra Phelps
I have to get up early tomorrow for a doctor’s visit in Lexington, so I’m not looking forward to that, lol. It’s just an ordinary visit, no tests or anything, so shouldn’t take long, though.
Polly Hall
Drove an hour away to look at another appartment for my brother. It was a much nicer place than the last place I looked at for him.
gloria patterson
This is my lazy day! For breakfast I had 1 piece of pizza out of the refrigerator … I like cold pizza. Heck I even like all kinds of cold pasta for breakfast. I just now finsihed a peanut butter sandwich. Not in the mood to cook or do dishes.
Elizabeth
A recipe that usually works flopped for me today, bah!
heather
My day is going pretty good just enjoying the beautiful blooms everywhere and the sunshine.
Shelly Peterson
I have been up since 3 am. I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. This is going to be a rough day.
Kate Sarsfield
I was hoping for a nice lie-in this morning but the girl in room upstairs had her boom-boom music blaring at 8. Off to get a haircut in one of the 3 salons in my new locale then onto the house for more painting.
Piroska
My day has gone well. More melting, closer to gardening time.
Polly Hall
My husbands sister came to visit today and we all went to lunch, it was nice catching up with her.
Tamra Phelps
I feel like I ate too much but I do like chicken & dumplings, lol. So, I ate too much. Nothing new about that.
gloria patterson
This was my run around day for stuff for my mother. Had to drop this off and she decided she wanted a new cell phone (FLIP phone) she is not a tech person. The first cell phone store was empty so had to go on the other side of town. Then had to get gas has 40 cents off per gallon at kroger $50 later. Then I called in order for pizza tired and hungry
heather
I went to Starbucks this morning and went through the drive thru. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and when I got up to the window the employee handed me my sandwich and said have a nice day. I went to pay and he said the lady in front of me paid for my order. It made my eyes water it was so very kind. It really made my whole day nicer. KINDNESS ROCKS!!!!!!!! and I am so paying it forward to someone soon.
God Bless
Shanna
Its going beautiful! Sun is shining so I defingtely cannot complain!
Hope your day is beautiful as well!
Kate Sarsfield
Front windows painted: tick! 2nd coat in spare rm tick! My bedroom scrubbed & ready for painting: tick! Then noticed one of my tyres was wearing. Stopped off at repair place – needed 2 new tyres (tires): €140.00 🙁
gloria patterson
In WV we have to get our cars inspectioned once a year. It never fails ever year I end up buying one new tire.
Kate Sarsfield
Same annual checks here in Ireland – least it keeps the crocks off the road.
Elizabeth
It’s been a little disappointing and annoying so far, but it’s early yet…
Shelly Peterson
Heading to dialysis soon. Happy humpday! !
Michele Soyer
Drying out from yesterdays deluge…have to see what plants survived and get rid of the ones that didn’t….
Tamra Phelps
So, I had to go back for a follow-up mammogram last Thursday because they saw some calcification they wanted to check closer. Today, they let me know I need a biopsy because it concerns them. OK. That’s just what i need to add to my list of health issues, lol. So far, I’m not overly concerned because I know most calcification is not cancerous. But you can’t deal with this without some concern…anyway, I’ll have to go to Lexington for the biopsy be cause they can do it with a local anesthesia while I’m in the wheelchair.
Kate Sarsfield
What next, Tammie? Crossing everything xxx
Polly Hall
I had a good productive day at my P.T. appointment
Shelly Peterson
Up early watching my grandson. Heading to pick up a food order.

Well after 80’s last week we had a freeze warning this morning high of 45. I am in sweat pants and sweat shirt and heavy sock and heat keep kicking on. Spring is playing with us
clynsg
Not too bad, although am going to have to stay up until after midnight at the end of the week to be able to get some dogs of family members into the vet for neutering. They only take so many per day, and the appointments are filled up until the 2nd week of May, and the online scheduler opens up for each week at 0001 every Saturday!
heather
My day is going pretty good here so far. Just finished prepping all the fixings for a huge salad that I can have for a few days trying to lose some weight. I love having a big salad all ready to eat in the frig so all I have to do is dish it up when I’m hungry.
Leela
I’m currently going through chemo and it’s kicking my butt. I thought my doctor’s appt was today but it’s in a few days.
Shelly Peterson
I am super tired. Heading to dialysis soon.
Elizabeth
Things are quiet so far, which is fine.
Michele Soyer
I need another mental health – me day so I am taking the day off today…This relaxation is so pleasant – I can see myself doing this in Corfu….when all this is said and done I want to volunteer in any capacity I can there – it would be lovely to spend the day doing something for others animal or human!
Kate Sarsfield
Back to the house again in 30 mins. Thanks for the good wishes, Michele! I only have enough money left to stay at the B&B for another 4 weeks so it’s all go, go, go! I only need 2 rooms finished so I can get my furniture etc. from storage and the Ukrainians can bus it to the house & continue working. I’ll save €1,500 a month by doing that!
gloria patterson
that is a nice chunk of change to save!!! I would be busting it to.
Tamra Phelps
It’s coming together quickly now! It sounds exciting.
Polly Hall
Just a nice Sunday doing some yard work and relaxing
gloria patterson

Kate Sarsfield
Heading to my new house later this morning with Viktor. He’ll start scrubbing the other front room while I carry on painting the spare bedroom. Onwards & upwards!
Tamra Phelps
I decided about 8 this morning to just sleep until I felt rested, lol. That moment never arrived…by 1 in the afternoon I had to pee so I got up. I swear I never feel really rested anymore. Is it just me???? I think it is like that for a lot of people.
gloria patterson

Tamra Phelps
It’s a nice day, weather-wise, here in KY. But there was aterrible wreck near here this afternoon. A pick-up truck pulled out between a dump truck & a bus (coming from opposite directions) and was hit by both. I can’t figure out why the driver pulled out between them–he could see both ways.
heather
It’s been a busy morning for me lots of runnng around to do and just got home now resting my feet. We had more snow here this morning and it is chilly.
Kate Sarsfield

Michele Soyer
Solar eclipse energy is upon us already – it is here in our time zone tonight….our cats are agitated and one is crying so that we had to pick her up – pooch seems to be fine ….I know her – she will be howling later on…..I don’t howl (lol) I stay quiet and wait….
Kate

Laurie Nykaza
It was a beautiful sunny day outside s we planted flowers in our garden.
Tamra Phelps
Finally got the doctor to switch my antibiotic since the first one wasn’t working at all. Hopefully the new one works.

Polly Hall
I went to TP today, after 4 session I think my knees are just a bit better.
heather
We has snow on the ground here today and it is chilly beans here. We need the water so I am happy about the weather but it is a little strange for this time of year.
Elizabeth
I’m not sure what’s going on yet, coffee hasn’t kicked in…
gloria patterson
I put in a workorder 3 months or so ago drip in my tub faucet and my kitchen faucet. They showed up this morning (YEA!! ) at 9 am. No big deal for me since I have been up since 6 am
They fixed the tub leak, put in a NEW kitchen faucet, put in a new hall light bulb (I never turn it on) and a new light bulb in my hanging light. Also cleaned the ceiling vents.
And as they were leaving I remember my clock on the wall that I cannot reach. Put in a new battery and set the time, first time in over a year………..
So I am having a great day
Michele Soyer
I have decided when the sale is done and over with a party is in the cards…A goodbye to all here in this small village…They have yet to see when Hungarians party – we shall have food, music. dancing, laughter and a sharing of my heritage with the folks here….
Kate
My Tuesday is going awesomely so far. Later today I’ll be picking up a grocery order and planning a weekend getaway road trip for my family.

tammy ta
Today stated out alright, but ended not good.
Tamra Phelps
Took a water pill this morning to deal with some edema–honestly, I m ight as well set up camp in the bathroom. I have been back and forth 5 times in 5 hours. Man, I hate edema.
heather
My day is going pretty good. I had a lot of running around to do today and I spent way too much money that’s for sure. I am stocked up for the week as we should be getting snow this week.

Shelly Peterson
Happy Monday! Today I am heading to dialysis.
Kate Sarsfield
We left at 7am, got to hospital in time for her examination & home by lunchtime. Poor N. was so scared – she’s in her 30s with 1 child, in a strange country, a language she doesn’t understand & now she has a lump in her breast. The staff were wonderful with her but now it’s the awful wait for the results.
Michele Soyer
Cannot shake the sadness that this death has caused.. memoris of my own son and memories of my daughters friend….best thing for me to do is get moving….
Kate

Kate Sarsfield
That’s heartbreaking xxx
Tamra Phelps
Wow, that is so sad. I feel for his family.
tammy ta
My plans for the day got cancelled. So I just ended staying home and doing lots of cleaning.
Tamra Phelps
The air conditioner is acting up just when it starts to get warmer outside, of course. Hopefully I don’t have to hound them to fix it. They’ve known since Wednesday, and I know the maintenance guy filled out a work order request, so if they don’t get it done Monday, my calls will begin, lol.
Shelly Peterson
I went to my grandsons soccer game this morning and then went to breakfast.
gloria patterson
Had no real plans going to do a little of this and that
Niece texted wanted to drop off some paperwork .. OK Great niece was to stay with her grandmother today BUT she decided she really really wanted to stay with me…….
So she stayed and her grandmother came down and got her about 5 to take her home.
It is always fun to have zay spend the day
heather
I am running behind today just got in the door. I hate it when a place changes their hours and your don’t know about it until you try to open the door!

Ken Ohl
Hoping for a better day tomorrow my wife has been suffering with pain they can’t detect praying for a miracle
gloria patterson
Made a trip to walmart today………….. in my store they have been moving stuff ever where……… well they are just about done. I like shopping in there clothes dept the prices are not to high and you can find nice stuff. Looking at the clothing section women & men made me feel like I was in JC pennys. They gave lots of room to big name brands and the other stuff little areas. The nice things about all of these changes………………. I WILL SAVE MONEY on clothes that I don’t need.
Tamra Phelps
It’s a nice sunny Spring day with bright blue skies and fluffy white clouds–so, that’s nice to see. Wonder how long it’ll last, lol.

Kate Sarsfield
Another hard slog at the house but at least the weather was warm. I gardened while the guys sweated over concrete. They had some left over at the end of the day so I got them to put a small ramp onto the footpath round the house where it changes levels. Might need it one day!
Polly Hall
My right knee wants to keep giving out, headed to P.T. soon so I hope they can help me.
gloria patterson

Kate Sarsfield
Viktor & I went out to the house again today and we literally jumped up and down with glee! I underestimated the amount of concrete but it’s only a couple of square feet & we’ll mix the concrete ourselves next Wed. We sanded & primed the front windows. They’re double glazed in hardwood frames and will be replaced if & when I can get a Govt. upgrade grant.
Then we went to a Polish deli for goodies for the Easter celebrations tomorrow. Another party – I don’t know if my ageing body can take much more!

Kate Sarsfield
I have floors!!!!! Four solid hours of damn hard toil but the 3 guys didn’t complain or moan at all. They were brilliant.
Tamra Phelps

Wide awake at 5 am…………. got up etc etc left here at 7:30 headed to krogers picked up misc stuff and got a few things to take to Easter family dinner at brother & sister in law. Not sure if mom & brother will go depends on how she is feeling.
Then stopped at discount store picked up a few things. I have been looking at the mini frigs to put your skin care stuff in. They usually start at $39. and up found one (checked and it works ) for $19.99 white and just the right size to fit on a small cabinet I have in the bathroom.
Put everthing a way……………. AND my recliner started yelling at me……….. YOU NEED A NAP and it was right slept for 2 hrs 🙂
Elizabeth
Going to try the errands again, good grief…

I took Viktor to the dentist this morning to mend his front tooth that he broke eating pizza. He was terrified he wouldn’t be able to afford it but it’s free! Everyone is entitled to 2 dental visits, 2 fillings per year, paid by the State.

Trying to organise concrete for Friday, but need to get wellies for three (3, TAMRA, 3!!!) guys first.

Connie The Head Peanut
My Grandma use to say “My get up and go, got up and went. Without me!” So true right!??
Connie The Head Peanut
Testing, Testing, testing. Okay works from my phone. Let me try the iPad. Hold please.
Connie The Head Peanut
Testing from my iPad….. still good. Let me write to GoDaddy and see if they have any ideas.
gloria patterson
My mother 93 fell last week so has been in the hospital. Looks like they are going to release her to rehab tomorrow. So i was packing stuff for her. My problem is she will hang stuff in the closet that is not ready to wear. She is one of those people that have to cut this, sew that etc etc before she wears it. So it is one of those she is going to have to wear what I picked out.
Then I decided I had to clean her refrigerator out……………… I am one of those people that watch expiration dates. My mother is not and it has not killed her yet. BUT So it went from a full refrigerator to empty shelves. LOL
Tamra Phelps
I hope your Mom is doing well! My Mom & I were just like that too, except the roles were flipped, lol.
gloria patterson
They are going to release her to rehab today. They check ever she didn’t even have any brusie………… she was very lucky
Connie The Head Peanut
Oh Gloria, I’m so sorry about your Mom. If your Mom is like mine was your gonna be in trouble throwing out her food. LOL
OMGEEEE it’s so hard to pack for another person.
Is your Mom fiesty in the hospital? My Mom turned into a whole different person. Ohhh she was a handful.
{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}
gloria patterson
Let say she will not be HAPPY but since this is not first time I have cleaned it out LOL
She is the sweet old woman in the hospital that does not bother them. Head ed to rehab today
Michele Soyer
I am so sorry to hear this – you take care of you also – the caregiver often forgets about themselves – if you get sick who will take care of mum?
gloria patterson
I am lucky it is just me so theres not a lot I have to do Rest Relax Recharge are my rules

Connie The Head Peanut

My day has been a busy one digging out of the snow. We had a scary blizzard here last night I mean it was a total white-out! Scary!
Kate Sarsfield
First layer of plaster finished in my bathroom!!! Kakha is bloody marvellous! Second/last coat tomorrow, then he’ll move on to the kitchen. Poor Viktor has the worst job, scrubbing the ceilings & walls while I potter about like the Lady of the Manor!
Tamra Phelps
2 men now??? You have turned into a cougar, Kate!!! Ha!
Shelly Peterson
Of course I didn’t sleep well, so I am super tired. Heading to dialysis.
Elizabeth
A telemarketer woke me way too early, but I feel better after breakfast!
Tamra Phelps
Here’s hoping tomorrow’s weather is good because I have to go to the grocery. And I know we are having rain later this week. I get so happy about warm weather in Spring that i forget about the fact that it storms so much.
Piroska
My day is going well. My youngest grandson slept over this weekend. He was good, but boy, talk about high energy!
Connie The Head Peanut
Don’t you wish you had that energy for just an hour? Ahhh think of all the things you could get done!
gloria patterson
Just though of this………………… https://sunny-bay.com/
Have been buying from them for about 3 years
Body heat wraps /// neck pillows /// heated neck wraps /// back wraps
You put them in the microwave and you have heat on your shoulders/neck and NO electric plug needed
These are great I have at least 3 different sizes
Connie The Head Peanut
Ohhh that’s a great idea. Headed there now.
gloria patterson
Wide a wake at 5 am………….. full of pep
Cleaned house, pulled out more stuff to take to goodwill. Have done a little of this and that……… AND all at once my mind started yelling NAP TIME……………… 2 hrs later feeling good again
Polly Hall
A nice relaxing Sunday, will be heading out to dinner in a few hours.
Kim Pincombe-Cole
Sorry about all of your pain and trouble getting results from your doctor! That’s the worst.
Anyway, I love your new patio doors!
Elizabeth
I’m annoyed that my trip home will take longer than I expected, but I had a fun time in San Francisco!
Heather
My day is going pretty good so far. We are getting ready for a big storm here today it is raining right now but we hear snow is coming. Oh forgot to mention yesterday I LOVE your new doors.
Kate Sarsfield
Phew! Absolutely pooped. 3 of us just spent 4 hours working at the house (well they worked and I pottered about!!!). Spring and new beginnings are definitely in the air.

Connie: The Head Peanut
We had a blizzard here too! Mother Nature GOT JOKES!! I’m over the snow already. Bring on some SUNSHINE!!! Please!
Polly Hall
I loved April Fools day when I was a kid, my father use to prank us kids all day long.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I face-timed with Granddaughter Alice while my daughter Selena walked the dog. Alice and I collaborated on a April Fools Joke. Cup of water, she put a cutting board on the cup, then turned it over. Then put whipped cream on the bottom of the cup and then grated some chocolate on the whipped cream. ROFLMAO Selena picked up the mug for a drink. ROFLMAO, WHAT THE $#$%!? AND water WENT everywhere. I’m still laughing. It was AWESOME!!!
Tamra Phelps
Oh, I get the fingers/hands that don’t want to cooperate! Some days it hurts to hold a pen. This has been a crazy April Fools Day–Mother Nature decided to prank us all by pretending it was going to be a nice Spring day and then throwing tornados at us last night! My phone went off with a tornado warning at 2 a.m. The wind is still crazy today.
Connie: The Head Peanut
My fingers and hands too! WHAT THE HELL?? This getting older thing is for the birds!
OMGEEEEEEEEE I am so glad I don’t have hurricanes or tornados! Our skies are BLACK right now so probably more snow heading my way.
Have you had tornado warning while your in your new place?
gloria patterson
I have been lucky so far NO neck problems. BUT I do get steriod shots in my right knee and right hand ever 3 months! Like I said don’t know anything about the neck but the knee does not really hurt when he sticks the needle in. MY doctor sprays the area with a numbing spray. Ever time he uses it I tell I would love to steal that can. BUT on my hand it depends where he gives me the shot the wrist area a little bit the thumb hurts like hell. BUT they are worth it.
For me HEAT helps my pain. Lots of different ways to apply heat electric not electic LOL I can offer lots of suggestions.
Last saturday we had major windstorm and power was out for over 5 hrs. We are getting that wind again today. Power has blink off and on 3 or 4 times…………………. I HOPE IT STAYS ON
Connie: The Head Peanut
Okay, that makes me feel much better and a WHOLE lot less nervous. So the pain goes away for 3 months?! OMGEEEEEEEEEE I will be so happy!! This pain is really starting to mess with my craft room time! AND I DO NOT LIKE IT!!!
I use an electric heating pad every night. Well, yesterday it was all day long. I am ready for some relief.
Thank you for the information. I really am less nervous. I’m hoping it’s like the knee… this shot goes in my neck. soooooooooooo I’ll report back.
Heather
Happy April Fools Day! I am taking it easy today it has been a bitch of a week and I need some serious R &R this weekend!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I woke up in such a bad mood! I gotta shake this off. Hopefully, we both have an excellent day and smooth sailing week.
Kate Sarsfield
Happy April Fool’s Day!! Connie, did you know Botox can be used to prevent finger curling? Maybe worth discussing with your Doc? As for me, I’m drawing up plans for the work schedule for the next 2 weeks. 4 hours a day, 2 men and me, 3 or 4 days a week …
Connie: The Head Peanut
OHHHHH I hadn’t heard about the Botox for my finger. I will 100% ask. This thing HURTS and is happening more and more.
EXCELLENT on the work schedule. YEAH YOU!!!
