@Buka mentioned the tape on his feet. What is it used for?

Others can better explain how it works, but basically Physio tape (or PT tape, or Ptape, depending who you ask) puts some mild support around injuries. I've used it with tendinitis and torn muscles (during later healing stages of the latter) to varying levels of success. There are prescribed methods of application, but they do seem to vary a bit. I find that following a few general principles seems (unscientific assessment) to work reasonably well in most cases, but doesn't seem to do as well as when it's applied by someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Uhh, that's a bit of a range. Now that you saved all that money - can you send us the rest to fix our roof?

I can't afford the postage for 27,000 miles away

 

[Xue Sheng]

Yes...2 more years he will be driving....I'm much more comfortable with people trying to punch him in the head than the idea of him driving...lol.

I'm right there with you on the driving thing for the youngest

 

[Xue Sheng]

Wow, just....wow. Keep that friends name and number and give him plenty of references. Well deserved. Also I would warn friends about the first two companies who gave you estimates.

It was actually 3, the friend was number 4. And yes, when it comes time to replace the roof, I know who I'm going to call.

Are you using the same Microsoft account (for Office 365, for instance)? I've noticed that my last couple of replacements, my desktop background has followed me, even when the previous computer was not functioning. I haven't looked for the setting, but I assume it was carried by the MS account, since I provide that during set-up.

that must have been it, and I think Hubby accidentally reset the password for it, too.
it is a little unsetting, I know it's supposed to be for people who work with several work stations. but still. even then I like variety.
I don't think I had this issue before I killed the Yoga.

I think it's a fairly recent addition to their account management. There's surely a way to turn it off. I'll take a look.

Oh, electronic funds transfer will do just fine.

Don't trust electronic transfer with that much..... I'm in IT.... I don't trust computers OR electronics..... they are all just silently watching us for the day they take over....and if I use electronic transfer I am just contributing the money they need to do it...besides....the signal degrades long before 27,000 miles.... it would never get there anyways

EXACTLY!! no e-mail goes 27,000 miles....and if anyone tells you it does...they're wrong....because I say so.....any other talk of e-mail going 27,000 miles is a myth

A little bit of added support. It's just been a little nagging injury over the last couple weeks.

His sensei showed him some exercises using elastic bands to strengthen his ankles.

My wife youtubed it to see how to tape it....Jacob claimed it helped.

I'm beginning to go FREAKING NUTS not being able to train anything like I want to. Stupid dang knee

Morse code? Light signals? A super-sonic jet? A team of homing pigeons? Use your ingenuity! Our roof is not going to fix itself!

Well you should think of things like this the next time you decide to live 27,000 miles away.

Oh... Ah eez just a wittle wooman - I ain't make none of that deciding stuff....

Saw the bone doc today, everything is going fine. I can run jump, take up kick boxing, JKD, savate and sanda tree kneeing....... ok....everything after "going fine" is a lie..... but the first part is true, I am recovering as expected.

The stuff the PT folks were finding on occasion, and were worried about, per the MD that is normal. I am on the mend and doing ok. And he gave me a knee exercise to do, that PT didn't, and I feel it directly in the muscle that is causing me issues with going down stairs. Nothing against the PT folks, they were great. But he targeted the exact problem immediately after I told him the issue I was having.

It's almost like he has some idea what's going on inside that knee. Like he has seen inside it. Spooky.

I know....its creepy..... he even knew exactly what was going on with the occasional lump that appears in my knee
