This Paramount deal STINKS, and so do the Ellisons.

@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@thepoliticalcat They are working so hard to erase or disempower everyone who isn’t a white male.
@Pineywoozle I was just starting to see more sitcoms, shows, films, that featured not-white-males, for a change. I just threw my back out again, and I'm starting to feel like this is a nerve issue, because my legs are acting really strange.

@Colin Thank you, Colin. I'm sure the Preferred Human knows exactly what I mean, and I hope her knee is doing a lot better! @Pineywoozle
@thepoliticalcat @Pineywoozle She face planted in the kitchen today. I ran to help, but I was so stealthy and graceful that I gave her a jump scare which increased the screaming. Eric also went to help, but was scared by the paramedics. Fortunately, the paramedics got her up pretty quickly, so we are now both giving her a hug.
@Colin @Pineywoozle 😳 🙀 🥺
Screaming is, apparently, not the best response. I, too, was screaming in pain, and Juju has very sensitive ears, which he informed of while running away at high speed.
@thepoliticalcat .Sorry on both counts sweetie. I’m headed to the Rockies for a couple of weeks cause my best friend ended up in the hospital and I don’t want her to be by herself for a bit.
@Pineywoozle You are one hella friend. I'm so glad you are on my side! Give your bestie an appreciative hug for me, boy do I know how she's feeling. She is really needing you r n, and don't ask me how I know.
@thepoliticalcat We’ve been extraordinarily lucky. A 55 yr friendship isn’t that common.
🥰
🥰
@Pineywoozle No, it isn't. Hugs, you.
oheso@thepoliticalcat @Pineywoozle Does a back go in the burnable or non-burnable?
(Hope you get well soon)
@oheso @Pineywoozle Backs are apparently serious enough to call an ambulance, which is risky, because my house has a million stairs, and I really worry about being dropped on my head by the stretcher bearers.
@thepoliticalcat @Pineywoozle I hope they carry you down feet first at least!
@oheso @Pineywoozle Thank goodness they're smarter than I am, and came equipped with some fancy ass technology that made a giant slide down the stairs! I kept my eyes closed anyway, because I'm a chicken!
@thepoliticalcat @Pineywoozle Cool! Can I have a go?
@oheso @Pineywoozle It's VERY expensive, and I'm really glad it was covered by my insurance, but the next trip won't be, so I have some real incentive to stay away from hospitals! 😄
Callalily@Callalily @Pineywoozle Thank you. Unfortunately, I just got off FaceTime with my doctor, and she thinks I need to go to the ER because nerve impingement is involved, and it has something to do with a crushed disk in my spine. What a thrill.
@Callalily @Pineywoozle Been gone and came home, and got the most LOVING kiss from Juju (he's never done THAT before!). And my first tomato plant just set its first flower! Hoping it will set fruit soon!
@Callalily @Pineywoozle I did. And I'm REALLY glad I did.
@thepoliticalcat @Callalily Here’s a bonus Fred for owies. Hope the docs sort you out soon. ❤️❤️❤️
@Pineywoozle @Callalily I'm back from the hospital, and what a wild ride that was! Apparently I have sciatica and lumbar stenosis, and it's an unhappy combination, but at least it's not septic arthritis (or so they said, and WTH is septic arthritis?) At any rate, the pain meds are good and I am going to rest a lot, and then start walking tomorrow. Exercise is the best medicine, and I don't need back surgery!
@thepoliticalcat @Callalily Awww 🥰 glad it’s better than you thought it was gonna be!!! Back surgery’s so risky. Can never decide if it’s a good or a bad thing that I can’t have pain meds, glad you’re enjoying them.😜 Exercise really is key. Can you swim? So jelly of you being by the sea. Gonna build a grain bin pool & 1 of these days we’ll sit by a body of water big or small & have tea. Love yas.
P. S. I think Fred just made contact w/ the mothership LOL
@Pineywoozle @Callalily I wouldn't go so far as to say it's better than I thought it would be? I do have a cyst and damage to the facets of two of the lumbar vertebrae, and they were surprised I wasn't in pain from that. All the pain was coming from the sciatic nerve in the RIGHT leg. And it's progressive, and surgery isn't really that helpful. But I'm determined to stay fit, and hopefully, I'll have a reasonably healthy and happy time.
@thepoliticalcat @Callalily Ack, I misunderstood. I’m kind of scattered trying to get stuff done so I can drive.
@Pineywoozle Stop that this minute! Get off the phone, arrive safely, and then respond. Fred's orders. (He thought he was dialing you, but got me instead. Tangled in the Web.)
@thepoliticalcat If Fred could dial a phone we would all be in trouble. Feel better and I’ll yap at ya when I’m at 7,000 feet, sitting in her hospital room joking about the hot intern.
😜
😜
@Pineywoozle There ya go, love!
@thepoliticalcat @Pineywoozle
I hope you're starting to feel a little better. At least you know you don't need surgery. And hopefully your doctor has a plan to help you.

@Callalily @Pineywoozle I'm up and about, which is plenty, and the pain is minimal. However, this is the test, I guess, since I'm slowly removing the pain meds. Hopefully, things will stay good and positive, but I'm exercising to make sure I take care of things. Thanks for all the love and good wishes!
@Callalily @Pineywoozle Thank you, I'm trying as hard as I can.
@Callalily @Pineywoozle Thank you, my dear. I'm working hard at it.
@Pineywoozle @Callalily Oh, YEAH! Beam me up, Scotty, there's no intelligent life on this planet!
@Callalily They gave me some great meds, and I am SO relaxed, r n! @Pineywoozle
