Things that go bump.....

Is anyone else having problems with Blogger? I can't seem to get my spell check or the uploading of pictures to work either yesterday or this morning......Urgh!

I can't believe it has been almost a week since I last made a post. Time flies when your having fun.....

I started back at work last week on a gradual return to work....Monday I also had my CT of my cervical spine in the hopes that we might be able to get to the bottom of my dicomfort. I am trying really hard to optomistic about my gradual return to work(GRTW) and am hoping it is going to be a success. I fear it has not gone as well as I had hoped. On Monday after my CT scan I went and worked 4 hours...I didn't really do a lot...there was a lot of paper work and documents to read and catch up on....I helped with night work, phone, answerd call bells...but no hands on patient care. On Wednesday I arrived and was immediately put to work....there was a very sick patient that required lots of special lines to be put in and eventually ended up on a breathing machine....I ended up caring for this patient during my four hours...no break and on my feet the whole time.....I was sore by the end of if but I thought it was bearable and to be expected. So I iced my back and shoulder when I got home. Thursday I spent on the couch with my bad tummy....that's a whole other story....Friday I went in...and assisted with direct patient care. By the end of my 4 hours I was feeling it. I got home and immediately iced my back and shoulder.....I was woken up by the pain at 0400 and couldn't get comfortable at all....shooting pains down my arms....burning down my spine.....ouch....Ok don't be a wimp right? Saturday we went vehicle shopping......and in order to go vehicle shopping meant I would have to do some driving....the weather wasn't t the greatest slushy snow and rain, just yucky....anyhow....the drive really irriatated my shoulder and back. I am off to see my doctor again on Tuesday and hopefully he will have the results of my CT scan and we can get to the bottom of this.

On a completely different note. The strangest thing happend yesterday. Do any of you remember me telling you the story about the 9 litre jug of laundry soap falling off of the washer in the middle of the night? That always bothered me, so the other day hubby looked up on the internet to see if there had been any recorded earth quakes at that time.....none recorded....hmmmm...the mystery continues......anyhow yesterday, I was laying on my couch with my ice pack on my back watching some TV when I heard this loud noise...it was like something was being forceably removed from the wall and thrown and then a huge crash sound. I got up to investigate .....and walked over to stairs where I have family pictures hanging on the wall, when what do I see but one of my old family photos had fallen off the wall and was smashed. Now I looked at the wall to see if any of the other pictures were ascew, but nope...they were all in place...not crooked or anything.....the nail on which the picture hung was in place and still sticking out far enough that it should have held the picture in place. My initial thought was we had a mild quake or something...but like I said nothing else was moved.....it just gave me the shivers. Yesterday I also found out that my eldest sister was admitted to hospital the previous day with a bowel obstruction.....I had spoken to her maybe about 45 mins before this happend....this really bothered me so I called her to make sure nothing had happend....she said to me she was ok, hadn't seen the doctor yet today....I told her what happend...she said to me...your having another one of your preminisions, I said I think so...but I just don't know what....it really made me feel unsettled....maybe I am just making to much out of this...but it was just so weird...... Anyhow, about an hour and half later....another picture falls....but this time it is one that sits on the table in my foyer along with other family photos......this pictures was sitting behind other pictures on the table, it was a picture of my step son....it fell flat on it's face and managing not to cause any of the other pictures to fall......next thing you know, we get a call telling us that he had a fall Saturday evening hitting his head and had to get stitches......another coincidence? Creepy if you ask me......
I've told hubby about other things that have happend here.....and I am sure there must be some logical explanation....but I think hubby was even surprised about the picture of his son falling......

Through out my life I have had numerous unexplainable things happen, preminissions and the likes...it's to the point with my family that they call me the resident spook. What about you....have you ever had anything that you just can't quite explain ever happen?

Okay, we must both be the resident spook.........after the garage door incident, we got a call from our daughter in Kentucky. Her two year old son was running in the house and ran full force into a stable, unmovable object with his arms out in front of him and fractured his left arm.

I would never have even given it a thought......until I read what you wrote! SPOOKY!!

There are times when I just get this really edgy feeling, that something is just not right. The one time that happened that I really remember vividly was back in 1982, the last Sunday of the month. I was at work, midnight shift, and from about 2-3 a.m. till I got home, I had this kind of strange, almost queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Not sick queasy, just really edgy. About a half hour after I got home from work, I got a telephone call from an aunt of mine telling me her youngest son had shot and killed himself that night -about the time, it turned out, that my system started feeling that "Edginess." A connection there? I don't know but it sure seemed that way to me.

Things like this happen to me all the time. It used to spook me but not any more. You have a connection there RN.

I think I am a pretty logical person, and I am not spooked easily. I really believe that there is something to intuition and a resulting energy that our brains are just not equipped to see. I once lived in a 100 year old house, and the pictures would fly off the wall for no reason. I mean I would put them back on the intact hook, go upstairs and immediately I would hear another crash. I wasn't afraid, just curious. It was almost like some mind-energy game. It always happened when I was upset about something. Was it my mental energy, or something leftover in that old house?

Dianne said...

You do have a connection. I get those feelings and I'm always glad when I listen or when I figure them out although I'm also at peace when I don't understand them - that took me getting older to do.

I feel for you re. working on your feet. I'm still on med leave from my 2nd job at a retail store because of back issues.

and I am having a terrible time w/Blogger - spell check does not work at all - started when they did that last scheduled outage a few days ago.

and well - Blogger Help really needs to be renamed :)

Michele said...

First thing first ((Hugs)), just reading about your shoulder and back pains made me cringe... get this straight... YOU ARE NOT A WIMP!
That hurts and it's ok to say so... sometimes it feels better to complain.

Hmm... you definitely are connected to something. *shiver*... it could be a good thing yet it could be pretty scary too...
Take care...

I hope your shoulder and neck is better soon. I can identify oh so well as you well know.The other is just creepy isn't it?
I hope your sister is okay soon. Bowel Obstructions are such nasty things I take care of a lot of them at work.

Crunchy Carpets said...

totally spooky!

Carver said...

I'm crossing everything that you will get to the bottom of what's wrong with you and that it will be something that you can get help with. I hope your doctor will have the CT results when you see him.

That is so odd about the pictures. I hope your sister and son are both recovering swiftly.

Sometimes, I get a message saying there is a delay in the request when I try to upload a picture. I save the post and go back and try a few minutes later. Usually I can upload the picture when I try again. That happens pretty often with me.

I hope you get your back fixed soon.

I have preminisions all the time. The one I am well known for in my family was knowing that my sister's first kid was going to be a boy.

My mom told me that the doctor had said it was going to be a girl. I just knew that was wrong and told my mom this. She said, "This doctor has been in practice for over twenty years and ahs only been wrong three times."

My reply, "Well this is his fourth."

Hey - I just wanted to stop by and inform you that there is a very, very special award waiting for you at www.mistysmusings.com - I think you'll really like it!

Nikki Neurotic said...

I get these feelings at times...it's happened three times so far.
1. When I was in high school I went to visit my Mommom across the street. Before I left I gave her a hug and while hugging her I just got this horrible feeling. A few days after that she suffered a heart attack (she lived).

2. The day my dad went into cardiac arrest I just had to physically see him after I got home from work and before I went to bed. He was in the bathroom, and usually I would just yell in to him that I got home safe and was heading to bed...I waited until he came out and I gave him a hug good night.

3. A few weeks before Mommom passed away I took her to her to a doctor's appointment. While she was in with the doctor I sat in the waiting room reading...and for no reason I just this very vivid image of a gravestone. It was really creepy.

First of all I hope you ease into work, maybe going a little to fast eh? When we get older as you know we don't bounce like we use to.

Weird stuff happens around me a lot, mostly someone moves stuff. lol

That happens to me with blogger if they are down for maintenance.

Unknown said...

I can't seem to get my spell check too but i still can uploading the pictures.:(

Mom Knows Everything said...

I've been having trouble with spell check on blogger for a few days now, but uploading pictures still works.

Smalltown RN said...

Well I must say I am glad you all didn't think I was a nut bar or something....but strange things have happened to me for almost my whole life.....when I was in my 20's I knew my brother had a cardiac arrest before anyone told me....same thing when my infant nephew died....I had a terrible evening...I was restless...uneasy...edgy...I knew something was wrong....I actually made calls to the family....the next morning...my nephew died from SIDs.....I have had so many experiences over my life that I have learn't that it is more than a coincedence...but there is something...I just don't know what it is....anyhow...that's all I have to say about that....cheers all

Gosh, Mary Ann, I hope your back problem is nothing too serious. I'm having a really bad back day myself as I had my grandson Sat. & Sun. and I guess I did too much playing and lifting. I can hardly wait for my massage therapy on Wed.

I think you have a gift - or else there are ghosts in your house. Or spirits of some sort. Just say "Hi whoever you are! Hope you're friendly!" :D

Smalltown RN said...

Leslie.....I think they are friendly....I don't get any eerie feeling....and as a matter of fact...for the very first time I actually felt so strongly about what happend that I did speak out loud and asked them what they wanted...what was I to learn....no response.....shucks....but I do keep positive....I have never felt frightend....it's just all so peculiar....

My Own Woman said...

If things like that happened to me I'd be so freaked I wouldn't be able to sleep. The only strange thing that's ever happened to me is that sometimes when my children aren't home with me I hear them calling me. I call them to see if they are ok and they all so all is well with the world.
