Suffering Side Effects

Well I've already started to suffer some of the side effects from these medications that the neurologist gave me for my shoulder.

I'm taking Methylprednisolone 4MG Dospack 21's which is this pack that has all the pills that you pop out the back.  The first day is at the top and you have to take 6 pills in 1 day.  2 before breakfast, 1 after lunch and supper (I guess that drug company has never heard of dinner) and 2 at bedtime.  Then day 2 you take 5 pills at various times throughout the day.  Day 3 4 pills and so on until day 6 you are just taking 1 pill.  This one is the steroid drug.

Then the other one is Baclofen 10MG tablets that I have to take 3 times a day so like every 8 hours.  That is a muscle relaxant drug.

I read the possible side effects for both of them and some of them are similar.  The muscle relaxant doesn't have nearly as many side effects as the steroid but I'm getting quite a bit.

1 of them isn't even listed and I'm not going to air that dirty laundry in here but believe me, it's painful to sit down hint hint wink wink.  The other ones are that my teeth don't feel like they belong in my mouth lol.  They just feel strange like the dentist shot something in there to numb them.  Also I've got major joint aches and pains especially in my legs at the hips and well just everywhere in my legs.

Let's see, I can't sit, I can't stand and my teeth don't feel like they belong in my mouth lol.  What else can go wrong?  Oh shoot, I just jinxed myself by saying that.  One of the other side effects are that I'm hungry more which happened today, I got extra hungry, I had 2 sandwiches for lunch, not just bread but these really big rolls with 3 slices of turkey each and lettuce and mayo.  Oh and we went to Hometown Buffet and I stuffed myself silly and one of the other side effects is weight gain which I guarantee you tomorrow I will see that side effect come into place thanks to the hometown buffet but we're just gonna say it's a side effect from the pills ok?

UGH and my shoulders are experiencing joint pain too.  Ok, I think I need to lay down because I'm becoming too fragile to be sitting here typing.  One of my fingers might fall off and we don't want that.

Wifi scale tells the world how fat you are

WiFi scale notifies the internet of your lapsed diet - source Dvice.com

Just imagine that you have this in your bathroom.  You stand on the scale and all of a sudden the whole world knows just how fat you really are lol.

Through wifi this scale will post your weight and body fat percentage to the internet or if you have an iPhone it will transmit it through wifi to a iPhone app.

Why in the world would anyone want to do that?  I mean sure if you are skinny like 150lbs or lighter and you are constantly working out and keeping yourself nice and thin then I could understand wanting to brag about how skinny you are but not me.  If this could transmit the info to SparkPeople then fine but it wouldn't do me that much good to do that because when I do my weekly weigh in's at the SparkPeople website I also have to measure my waist, hips and neck too.  As far as I know this isn't that capable.

So, no thanks lol.  I think I'll pass.

Beths Drawing

We were visiting our old neighbors last night who moved away last year and their daughter Beth handed me this little piece of paper.  I opened it up and looked at it and asked her what it was.  She pointed at the little stick figure and said that's me, that's you (middle stick figure) and that's your brother Chip hehe.

Beth has known us since she was 1½ but she isn't really familiar with a gay relationship.  She is just assuming that we are brothers, she could assume that Chip is my father because he is much older than I am.  I don't know why she thought he was my brother.  I guess she doesn't really see age that good at her age.  I think she's maybe 4.

But anyway we all got a good laugh at that and I thought I'd scan it and share it.

Hart Park w/Jeannie Video

It was April 13th 2007 and our tenant Jeannie was just moving out after only living in our rental for 3 months.  She was a traveling nurse and that's what they do, they move to a state and city for 3 months then go back home for 1 or 2 months then they go to another state and city.  They get paid a crap load to do that.

Anyway, before she left we wanted to bring her to Hart Park here in Bakersfield, CA with her dog Chloe.  We fed the ducks for awhile then we went walking around for a bit and as we were leaving in the car we saw Peacocks so I got out and took a short video of them walking around.

Enjoy
