Yeah, now that I have given up on the tool menu that automatically pops up and started using the drop down menu it is a little easier. I suck at symbols. lol
There is some neat stuff you can do on it.

Youch! So sorry to hear that. Who can you sue to get replacement for the jacket....not to mention time off work? The township because they should have de-iced the sidewalks?

I bet it's cheaper in the long run to just buy a new jacket...and take a couple of sick days then to hire a (·edit adjectives out·) lawyer.

Did you try Paint.NET? It's supposed to be a supercharged paint with good photo editing. Or you can spend $!00 for used photoshop or Essentials.

Will post more about this after I see the doctor on Tuesday
I went to the doctor today. Herniated discs C4/C5 and C5/C6. Ugly looking on the MRI - serious impingement on the spinal cord. No wonder it hurts! Trying one week of oral steriods (yuck) and PT, then re-evaluate. Next step would be epidural steriod injections, then surgery as a last resort.

One hopeful note, doc said in his experience 80% of presentations like mine can be resolved without surgery.
I hate prednisone.

ouch, and I thought having a slight scoliosis problem was bad. I get the fun drugs like Vicodin thanks to head pain, jaw pain (wisdom tooth), and back all combined.

Get well, and who's this guy, a chiropractor? I could use a good one right about now.

Ill give paint.net a try. I can't really afford to buy anything like photoshop right now.......can't really afford anything right now to be honest.

I went for a massage after work. My neck was so stiff and tight I was having trouble turning my head. It is so much looser now.

I walked home in the snow.
