The joint is obviously very achy but it’s been a tolerable 4-6/10 all weekend. My shoulder is aching from lack of use. Today’s big annoyance was nerve pain, which is to be expected after he re-routed the nerve down my arm. It feels like a whacked funny bone for hours at a time. This will probably continue for a few months. Tonight the incision is starting to sting at the elbow point.

First follow up is Wednesday. I’ll also be getting an X-ray of my ankle, as I’m still having trouble walking.

So far, I thought this would be worse than it’s been. It’s not been good by any stretch and I wouldn’t want to do this again, but I’m good with how things are feeling.
All great news. Glad to hear it's going better than expected. Pretty soon the incision will start to itch as it begins to heal. That'll be a good sign.

All good news, hopefully things continue to go well. Keep us updated dude, we're all concerned about you.

Gonna take the dog for a walk around some old navy boats this AM.

I’m starting to lose it, guys. Really concerned I won’t find a job. Lots of things to do for the baby. Massive home expenses with no income.

Ugh.

I was about to shower after working out so no idea. It has power. It's probably the switch, door switch, or a fuse or something. it went to turn on and immediately died and now has no action.

We got brand new :fancy: units when we moved into our house at the beginning of the year. I hang dry my clothes 70% of the time to consume less energy.

Sorry man. It is truly a shit situation.

I guess my only thing to offer is that things tend to have a way of working out in the end. Try to find time for yourself to do things you like like riding, :doge: walking, etc. to keep the stress at bay.

Do clothes that are hung to dry not end up wrinkled? I throw everything in the dryer with a dryer sheet ZFG.

They do a bit, and kinda hard. But :aintcare: I don't go anywhere, I don't ever even wear real clothes anymore. Also, it's so humid here that everything gets steamed 5 minutes after leaving the house, at least April-September.

After having cheap/small stackable washer/dryer combo the last year and a half I’m excited about having new brand new full size units in our new place.

The large unit is definitely :nice:

I don't seperate by color/type or anything really, so I just do one load/week and it's easy.

Drove by the house Saturday. Front yard hasn’t been touched yet. They’re supposed to rip out the existing dead shit and replace it with some xeriscape trigger rocks and succulents and shit. Hopefully they get it done in the next 10 days before we move in. Should be an easy one day project since it seems like they’re hiring most of the work or to people/crews.. but the timeline is getting close.

That’s what I do, but I have to split mine into two loads because of the small size. Then usually a third load each with with my bedding.

Was leaving Michelle’s place at like 8:30 last night and the clouds were looking dark, so I checked the forecast again and saw it was going to rain a few hours early this morning. Threw my tarp over the :jeep: since it’s still naked. Was still raining at 6:15 this morning when I needed to leave for work, so had to Uber over here.

Yeah, only difference was I had to have my mask on to get in. She said things really slowed down in the beginning, but now she’s just as busy as she ever was. Had a bunch of things of Lysol up front and said she wipes the car down between passengers :notbad:

Ya gotta just hang in there, dude. Times are tough but you're smart and experienced. Something will hit for you.

Got any other interviews lined up?
