New Carpet - Installed by Professionals...

Well, Shawn has ripped up the flooring in his room. He's considering his options regarding what to replace it with. I say laminate and Colleen suggested linoleum, but I think Shawn is partial to wall to wall. There's been wall to wall in that room since we moved in long ago.

I am so not into doing wall to wall. Kicking in carpet does not appeal to me in any way. Luckily, I can get someone else to do it for me. I'm going to look into Carpet Installation. Sears will install any type of flooring I desire, and I think they're pricing is decent too.

I'm not sure what Shawn is looking for in terms of carpet. I'm partial to something berber-like, but Shawn has been perusing plush types. Whatever he chooses, I' am so glad we can get a nicely trained professional to do the work for us. I'm pretty sure if we did this ourselves it would cost much more than it has to. And it would not come out right. It is a fact we do not possess the proper tools for such a job and we couldn't cut a straight line to save our lives!

TENS Units and Muscle Stimulators to Manage Pain....

I've been suffering from neck and lower back pain for quite some time. After an examination and an MRI, the doctor assures me that the bulging disk in my neck is minor. He also claims the degenerative disk disease in my lower back should respond to physical therapy. The neck pain I can keep to a minimum by not lifting anything too heavy and not carrying things on my hand like a waitress. The back pain does respond to physical therapy, but my insurance only covers that for a certain number of visits. After that, I'm on my own.

The physical therapist I went to used a couple different methods during my therapy. The first being a series of exercises and stretches. After that TENS Units. Both worked quite well. The therapist also suggested a Muscle Stimulator. But my therapy sessions ran out and I felt pretty good. I knew the exercises and the stretches. I felt like I could move on without more treatment.

Some time has passed, but not enough to get my insurance company to pay for more physical therapy. I'm looking into getting an LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator of my own. This unit is safe, easy to use and priced right. These units are widely used in hospital and sports clinics, so I'm willing to use one at home to help with pain.

After I Visit LGMed Supply Online, I'm going to do my exercises and check out the online customer blog and then get on with my day. I think I've found a great way to manage pain and I'm looking forward to more pain free days and nights.

I Got a Monkey T-Shirt! Or Did I?

Not too long ago, Martin over at http://www.tshirtprinting.net/personalised-t-shirts/ said he would send me a tshirt. Since it was a free giveaway, I was psyched!
 T- shirts are my favorite!

Colleen and Manda generally collect the mail and if interesting looking packages come, they always open them up to investigate. This particular day, Colleen collected the mail and called me at church.

"You got Royal Mail." says she.

"No kiddin'?" says I. "Open it up!" 

While I was hoping for an invitation to the wedding, complete with plane tickets and a hotel room, she reported that the package contained a t shirt.

"Hmmmm, a t shirt?" I ask. 

"Yup." said Colleen. "It's a nice shirt with a cheeky looking monkey on it. 

Can I have it?"

"Look further in to the package." I command her. 

I hear some rustling and she tells me

 "There's nothing else, should there be more?"

While I'm disappointed I received no wedding invitation, I'm quite pleased about the t shirt. I tell Colleen she may not have the shirt. She huffs a little, says bye-bye and puts the phone down.

After church, I go home. I've forgotten all about the t shirt. After taking the dog out and straightening up a little, I go in search of Colleen and Manda. I find them in their bedroom, each sitting at opposite ends of Colleen's bed, each holding what seems to be an article of clothing between them.

Colleen: "I saw it first."

Manda: "Tough luck. I called it!"

Colleen: "Give. It. Back. I HAD IT FIRST!"

Manda: "Let. Go. YOU'RE GOING TO TEAR IT!"

Colleen: "You stink! You always get your way!"

Manda: "If I always got my way, Mum and Dad would have sold YOU to the gypsies!"

After I saved the poor thing from the clutches of these silly girls, I take a look at it. It's the t shirt that Martin sent me, that came by way of Royal Mail, sans wedding invite. Despite travelling a fair distance and suffering a tug of war, I could tell this was a great shirt. Hey, it held up to a Colleen -Manda war, right? 

A few hours pass and Manda calls to me from the other room. 

"Mum, get your camera. I want you to take my picture."
