[TaylorTortoise]

Oh my garsh... hello. I'll let someone else explain that for now. Welcome ?

I will be waiting... patiently... lol

Hello everyone, just done with a procedure where the doctor burned the nerve endings in my neck C3 - C7 on the right side. Go back in about 10 days to have the left side done. Hope this works relieving the pain and stops the morning migraines. ???

I hope so too for you. It really looks like you were going through more than phantom pain.?

Some nice morning snowfall here. Still coming down.

Well... I'm kinda jealous. We're in a polar or artic vortex and getting nothing but cold, dry air. Outside was all the way down to 30% humidity and it's not all that cold. It was high 20's.That makes it really difficult to keep the humidity at a healthy level for humans let alone a tortoise. But I'll manage.?

Sounds painful in itself. I hope it brings the relief you need.

My car insurance actually dropped this year because of less driving. ?Wonder if the rest of insurance companies will think twice before raising premiums in a pandemic.?

We got a small refund on our car insurance premiums due to low mileage! Didn’t even ask for it! Unheard of!

why cold dark room?

Because it’s cold and dark in here


Hello and welcome to the CDR. I’m Linda and I live in Kent in South East England.

We’re an international bunch of idiots /friends here who sometimes talk tortoise and fairly regularly talk puns and nonsense.

Pull up an armadillo and the one-legged pirate will be along shortly to bring you your beverage of choice. The big armadillo is called Montgomery and is a very obliging coffee table, especially if you dust him or tickle him under the chin.

It’s rather gloomy in here, but the flying jellyfish glow a little brighter when you polish them. The blueberry ones seem to be glowing brightest at the moment.

Watch your step; it’s easy to stub your toe on the hedgehogs in the gloom. The wool spider, if she exists, seems to be in a better mood since we locked the leprechaun in a jellyfish tank. The snow leopard is very friendly and eats carrots

Yep and I even had my smart phone drop the price because I'm usually on Wi-Fi. But I always was before too. So why did they wait so long??

I can't remember but maybe it's something to do with Tidgy's Dad (Adam) living in Morocco and needing somewhere to escape the heat. You don't have to mad to post here but it helps.
Welcome anyway!

Well... she did say she was patiently waiting...

It would be really nice to see a check in from him. Right now he's being like a fossil.?

In other news, I dropped my iPad (nearly 2 year old basic model) and the power button got jammed in. We claimed on the insurance on Friday and paid over £100 excess.

They collected it yesterday and rang this morning to declare it a write off. They didn’t have the equivalent model in stock with the vendor they use, so they’re sending me the better model instead which costs £200 more! ?

So I have a brand new iPad Air turning up tomorrow * faints *

I dread to think what this will do to our renewal premium... swings and roundabouts!

Ouch! It must have landed just right ? My wifey has dropped hers a few times, mostly on carpeted bedroom floors. Did you loose any important documents or photos? Or is everything on the cloud?

Awww Ray, I hope it works too. I bet it will!

I've only heard it once in the winter. I talked with a brother and it's the same for him. Even though he lived further north in ohio, I think we were talking about the same snow storm. Does Michigan actually get thunder in the winter? If so I for sure wouldn't want to live there.

Like Ohio, it doesn't happen to often.

I hope so too for you. It really looks like you were going through more than phantom pain.?

Definitely, the phantom pains are from my amputated leg and arm. The neck pains is from fractured vertebraes that now are full of arthritis.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Thanks, I hope it helps also. I am sitting here in pain from the procedure. Thinking I don't want them to do the left side. Things should be better tomorrow.

I hope this treatment works for you Ray.
I use an infra red heat massager on my knee when the arthritis plays up in that, it does seem to help.

Thanks Lyn, I will give it a try.

I was going to have an early night but been caught up offering some advice here,
If anyone can chip in on the 'Help my tortoise ,Sheldon' thread in Introductions then please do. It looks deeper than skin shedding on his leg to me but I'm not sure.
Anyway I have to find my bed now.
So Nos Da - see you all tomorrow!

I have lost nothing. Everything is on the cloud
