COLD DARK ROOM

[Lokkje]

He is already eating me out of house and roach and he’s only been here for 12 hours.

The Cold Dark Room is a place of silliness and fun.
Wibble.
But it is also a place where friends share their troubles and receive support and love.

AMEN to that

It's just so hard to sit here all day. Yesterday I had William set me up outside in my wheelchair so I could talk to him as he worked, and today I have a "cankle" ( my ankle is as fat as my calf). I know in the realm of injuries this is nothing, but I'm not coping well.

Next Thurs. I go back to hospital for surgery to put a metal plate over the broken bone in my wrist. They said the healing time for that is much less than casting it.

Watch for blood clots in the leg with the cankle

We are toasting his arrival. His real name is some Japanese word that I can’t pronounce let alone spell. My grand nephew named him. I’m just calling him toast because I can’t think of anything else. The woman who raised him and bred him names all of the beardies after food and she named him toast and I thought we could toast him for his new arrival. I have wanted a bearded dragon for a very long time and I decided my time is slipping away and went for it.

I think Toast is as good a name as any.
Toast won't mind.

Happy Sunday all. Always too much to read. Gorgeous Autumnal weather & temps have settled into our region. Overnight temps in the 40‘s ! Second coldest overnight September temperature in the DC area since records being kept. I think it was 46F at Dulles.

We’ve been working in the garden prepping for Winter. Already frosts in Western Maryland last night. We bring in a TON of our Summer plants into our sunroom/conservatory. Our clean tidy room turns into a Winter jungle. Cactus, hibiscus, Monsteras (philodendrons), lime tree, jasmine & six monster elephant ear plants.

Great kayaking weather, but it’s also perfect gardening weather.

Have fun....

ogh, we made some stuffed grape leaves the other day using our own Muscadine grape leaves that we pickled earlier in the year.

Lets all meet in Baku and enjoy some of their delicious caviar & smoked fish. They grow some great tea there as well.

I did have to bite my tongue a few times.

 

[KarenSoCal]

in case Karen SoCal had an answer or a solution for me sorry I’ll shut up now ?

Unfortunately, I don't. I remember that the "air" was agonizing! It was the worst part of recovery.

I don't know if this is fact or not, but I think movement does the best job of dissipating trapped air. Possibly moving your arms around would help. Don't clamp them against you.

Other than that, only time will do it.
