Hi all.  Just got back from the dr.  Rose it is cortisone shots that I am getting in my elbows for my tendonitis.  The one today did not hurt as much as the other but immediately after he pulled the needle out, it looked like a goose egg on my elbow.  He said it was just the medicine and he rubbed it for a bit to distribute it around.  It is still quite swollen but he said it should go down in the next hr. or so.  I thought I was going to be late for my appt., which I hate because that is my biggest pet peeve - I am ALWAYS early.  Anyway, Greg said he wanted to stop by WalMart on the way to get dog food, which was fine because we had 50 minutes until my appt.  After we got the dog food, he wondered over to automotive - said he had been thinking about getting a power/pressure washer and wanted to look at them.  We stood there for 10 minutes until I finally made the decision for him, saying &quot;look, this is the most expensive one they have so it must be the best.  Get it and let&#39;s go&quot;.  So he put it in the cart - well on top of the cart, wouldn&#39;t fit in it.  Then he says he needs to stop by electronics to look at a phone.  All the phones in our house are cordless and he does a lot of conference calls from home so wanted to get one with a speaker.  My appt. was 3:40 and I checked in at 3:39 - too close for me.  May Lou, sending you big cyberhugs.  When I had my bout of shingles last January, they also told me that it could be 6 months before the pain wen away, but I think it was 4 weeks at the max - I can&#39;t remember exactly now, but I know it wasn&#39;t any longer than that.  Well, gotta&#39; run - hubby wants to demonstrate to me how this power washer works - I am going to have him try it out on my car, it needs a good washing....
