toes
It wasn't easy! I jumped out of the chair really quickly and hooked them under the front of the couch. And get this - it's the third time I have broken them! I am trying to switch to the left foot and prop the right one up for a while. Thanks for encouragement!
Broken toes!
Wow, i have broken my 3 smallest toes on the right foot. Can you imagine, after 25 years of using the right foot, having to use the left foot until they heal? What a headache! I'm sure my line count will plummet!
Just stating what I see, sorry if your toes
stepped on. I guess you must not read the others.
Some people just don't like the truth. A lot of the vents are from "supermoms", so impressed about that, who apparently do not feel like they can do it all, otherwise why be so frustrated?? How do I make time for this, how do I take care of the baby and still work. As far as not knowing what it feels to be cared for, as far as my hubby up is concerned he has me on a pedestal. I worked and kept up as many as 6 other people before and I did not go around crying and whining. I did it because at that time it had to be done. Just part of being a working person, just did it, no crying and no whining, part of life. Now hubby pays for the house, my vehicle and says if I want to can quit working whenever I want. Just try to read the posts, ok?
just something to get your toes tappin'
 Any musicians out there?

Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.
And bells on my toes! Sorry, couldn't help it! nm

For me, shoulders and hips.

Can I cry on your shoulders this morning?
My husband is gone until spring with his company about 5 hours away from home. Not too far but far enough where I can't see him often. In fact, he left Jan1 and haven't seen in since. No big deal - 14 days.
He is staying in a nice hotel with company car, perks, etc. He doesn't have a boss, but they have him working 13 days straight and then one day off and he is working his tail off. He calls me every night, and we trust each other 110%. We have 2 boys - 2 and 4. I am basically going nuts over here with them but that is a different subject.
So I got this grand idea last night that in the morning (today) I would drive and come see him, he has tomorrow off, and then I would leave early Tues to come back home. No big deal. The kids could watch DVD, etc. I am very, very independent and can do this with my eyes closed. I've always traveled by myself, etc., because of my background, and he's the type who is ultra-conservative, worried about traffic, safety, etc. Which is irritating because yes, there are risks involved when traveling. I have a new vehicle, great tires, great gas mileage, a cell phone, money, and street smarts. What the h*** is the big deal? He calls me this morning when the boys and I are ready to go to tell me, "don't come."
Do you know how upset I am? I am very upset. He won't be back until April or so and he doesn't want to see us????? He can't leave the area, so we have to come and see him. Yet, because he's so darn cautious and conservative (always has been that way), we have to suffer by staying here and basically I have done nothing but work extra and take care of 2 kids who really miss their dad.
I am upset. I am all packed up and ready to go with no where to go. He did say I could possibly come down later, as in a few weeks later, when the area is not as congested (he's near the gulf of Mexico where hurricane hit, but in a city that was not devastated so there are hotels and restaurants, etc). But to be honest, I'm not going to waste my time or energy on him if he doesn't want to see us. I am not going through this again in 2 weeks. He can just forget it.
I'm usually very mature, but I am so pissed right now and I don't really care. He doesn't want to see us today, then I guess he and his ultra safety self can wait until he comes home in April. 
painful knees
 I know this is not a doctor's office, but was wondering if any one is having trouble with their knees and if anyone has any advice. From sitting in a chair with my knees bent, they are really starting to kill me. Thank you. 
painful knees
Thanks for the feedback.
painful knees
Thanks for the feedback. I have had Lymes Disease and it might be a flair-up of the fibromyalgia. It is also in my spine. I really think I need to start walking and exercising.
Mine was in the shoulders
It took several doctors to find it, but my issues were caused by tension where the neck meets the shoulders. Tilt your head to the left and pull it down with your left hand, then repeat on the right. Tilt your head forward and pull down. Tilt your head forward at an angle and pull down, repeat with other side. I had pain, loss of sensation, and locking of my muscles because of tightness right there. Not sure if that's your situation, but just in case!

Sore neck and shoulders
This is the first year that I have had this type of pain. There is nothing that will relieve it and if there is the slightest movement of my computer screen or anything out of the ordinary, there it goes. I am afraid surgery is in my future. I do take breaks and your schedule sounds good. Thanks for the information....
I have tried one- extremely hard on my knees

Forgot one...NECK after shoulders(nm)

put leg straight out. Pull gently on toes. More pain? Prob DVT.
Could be pulled muscle. Don't need cellulitis with DVT, but generally will have some swelling, warmth MAYBE. Try the toe pull thing with the leg stretched out, see if it hurts. If it does, see a doc today, please.
Thank you. I do feel the weight of the world on my shoulders...sm
And I am so afraid that I am going to "break" one day. He is a good person. Ever since he has been off of work and considered disabled everything has changed. He used to work 50+ hours a week, he took the effort for himself, etc. I know that I am not perfect either, but seeing a grown man like this breaks my heart day after day after day. He is wonderful with our son though. I would love to find a way to get that "fire" back again, but I know I won't be able to unless he makes a little more effort to just do SIMPLE things...and another problem is we NEVER have any help with our son - no time to get away, even just out for dinner, by ourselves. It is just hard and any advice I will take. Thank you for your advice...
Joint Pain in Arms/Hands/Shoulders
I am just going to relate this story for what it is worth to someone else.
In 2001 I began having problems with my left hand, arm and shoulder. Orthopedist thought it may be the beginnings of carpal tunnel but EMG was neg. It was bad enuf that at times I couldn't pick stuff up and it hurt to type. It waned and waxed. A few years later I began having problems with my hands and the joints in my fingers hurting, along with left shoulder pain. My hands were so bad I could not open a jar at times. Eventually I went to a rheumatologist who told me that I had no visible signs of severe arthritis. All MDs, incl. orthopedist and rheumatologist recommended trying Celebrex, aspirin, etc. The regular stuff. I was resigned to early arthritis like my mother.
Well, one day in late 2004/early 2005 I decide to see a chiropractor for my shoulder because I'd had electro therapy for an injury years ago and thought maybe this would help. I had some adjustments and electro therapy on my shoulder.
I want to tell you -- ALL and EVERY pain in my fingers left and never came back. ALL and EVERY pain running from shoulder to hand stopped. It had to have been some sort of pinched nerve.
Not a single MD had even suggested seeing a chiropractor. And had it not been for my shoulder and my past experience, I never would have thought of it and would still be suffering, possibly with even further damage to the nerve by now.
If you have the knees for it, jumping rope slims fast.
Jumping rope is effective because it doesn't build a lot of muscle bulk in the thighs, which many women don't want. You get calf definition and it works your core muscles, arms, and especially your heart and lungs. The effect is very slimming.
But I also saw a study that said men slim fastest with aerobic exercise, and surprisingly, women slim down fastest if they do strength training in addition to aerobics. Weird, hey?
Well, I'm sure they aren't talking about granny shorts down to the knees with an elastic

Went right over your head
You take them into your home then and may God have mercy on YOUR soul.

Just off the top of my head,
I am assuming this is a group effort. Give them a weekend stay at a great motel. Do they camp? Give them a gift certificate for several nights stay at a great campground. Do they have a favorite restaurant? Gift certificate. If they have some collection, add a piece to it (crystal, silver, art). I can imagine it's a hard decision. Best of luck with it.
I think this poster hit it on the head

Of course I hit the nail on the head.
I'm your psychic network friend. And I also have a hard time playing nice and sharing in the real world. Especially when the masses are idiots. You know what I mean?

P.S. Don't be afraid to go over the head of
your local boss, they are likely to stonewall you. You should follow protocol and START there, but do not hesitate to carry it further if not satisfied.......... the protocol for this is actually outlined on QNET.
hit the nail on the head
i totally agree with what you're saying -- nothing is across the board, like when the statutory people in some office only needed to get 4000 lines in a pay period and others went from 5000 to 6000 and then I think they finally after about a year or so decided that it needed to be across the board. that doesn't go over so well.
Being treated as people would really be the nice part.
Exactly! You hit the nail on the head
It seems it would be for everyone's good.
You have hit the nail on the head here!
I cannot agree with you more! I have over 20 years experience (hospital, orthopaedics, urology, cardiology, etc). I absolutely love medical transcription and I am very good at it (years of experience, not bragging). I have always earned a very nice paycheck and have had to turn work down locally because I was in high demand - that is, until MQ came along. Now, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Now, I have had to reduce my lifestyle. I can't buy my children the clothes that I used to. We have to watch every dime. AND - this is with working TWO JOBS now instead of one.
My reputation is practically useless now. So, just as you have said, even though I absolutely LOVE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION, I have no choice but to return to school at 40-something years old and study nursing. I have a 23 year old daughter who earns more money than I do, even though I USED TO EARN MORE!
So, thanks a lot all you big corporations who are living high on the hog because of my expertise. Keep in mind, it won't last long, at least not with my help!
Woo Hoo! You hit the nail on the head!

You hit the nail on the head.
Yeah, they do, don't they? And they all support each other. Must have no life whatsoever that she needs to come on here and incite these angry posts just to get some weird satisfaction in her life. And then she has to agree with herself to give her wretchedness some validity. What a giant loser.
You hit the nail on the head!

You hit it on the head. Office has always been
chaotic, but now the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Whatever you do, don't ask a question or you will join the headless horseman on his midnight ride.
head lice
I have a question for all you moms out there. My husband called me from work and said that the day care called his secretary and told her to pick up her daughter because she had head lice. My son attends the same day care but is in a different group because he is older that his child with the head lice. I told the day care to call me if even one in my son's group has lice and I will pick him up right away. What would you all do? I send him to day care because if he is home he and his 12-year-old brother fight all day and I don't get anything done. He is five. Should I just go get him and not chance it? Any advice appreciated.
head lice
There was an extensive breakout in my child's school at one time. All the kids had it. I would just go get some Nix and treat him now. When my son got them I did not know you could not see the things. The only way I was able to tell was to hold a sheet of white paper and comb his hair catching it on the paper, they look like little specks of pepper, but if you watch closely they change shapes (move). I would not be too horrified, it is bound to happen in day care.
I know several kids who have had head
lice including my own. I have used mineral oil to get rid of them. Just put it all over their hair and put a shower cap on for an hour and then comb it out with the nit and lice combs you can buy in any drug store. You may have to wash the hair after this 2 or 3 times because the mineral oil is hard to get out. I know people that have used mayonnaise also. The oil and mayonnaise smother them. You will have to vacuum good and wash sheets and such as noted in the above message. You have to also check them a week after treatment and treat tem again if necessary. Also, I know people that have sprayed hair spray on their kids every morning before school to prevent them from getting lice. I don't really know if this works or not. All the schools my kids have gone to will not let them back in until they have been checked by the school nurse. I hope this helps.
head lice
I have a Robi-comb that I use every time I think there's a chance my girls may have gotten around lice. It's made by EpiLady. It's basically a bug zapper for the hair. You run it through their hair and it zaps all live bugs. It doesn't hurt the child unless you happen to touch one side to their ear and the other to their head. I've done that! It feels kind of like static electricity. But it's deadly to lice. It will kill them instantly. But keep in mind this only kills the live bugs. It doesn't do a thing for the nits. After I check for live bugs I always check for nits - especially at the base of the neck and behind the ears.
head lice
Also remember that the nits can take up to 2 weeks to hatch. So keep checking!! They start out tight on the head - usually dark brown. Then after they hatch they turn white.
I've been through lice two times. Been there, done that, don't EVER want to go there again!!!
Good luck!!!
Head lice
It has been 15 years since I had to deal with that but still remember it vividly. Throw all your combs and brushes out and replace. Give everyone their own. There is also a wide comb that comes with the treatment. If you comb your hair you will see lice on the comb if you have any. Wash all your bed linens even pillows. Put all stuff animals in a garbage bag closed for 10 days that will kill the lice. If you wear hats wash them. Also I had to spray my car cushions with a treatment that on the market at that time. Also your couch cushions etc. You never think you can get rid of them but you will. At the time my daughter had them her whole dance class had them. I think she probably got them when the kids put their belongings in the cubby holes or top of others coats because her regular class did not. Hope this helps.
I have RCA, behind the head, less than 8 bucks
from Wal-Mart...they are the lightest, good-sounding pair that I have ever had...love 'em!
Head phones
I have never used noise reduction head phones, but the best head phones I have ever used are the ones that came with the Olympus 4000 transcription system. You can buy the head phones separately. I think they are about $50. This is a lot, but versus the others I have bought in the past (around $25) there is simply no comparison. I also use them to listen to music on my computer. They are great! I have a Soundblaster card on one computer, but even on my other computer the sound is much better than with regular head phones.
You hit the nail on the head... sm
Taylor is warm and genuine and he looks like he is having a great time.. also not changing his style or music choice just to fit what might be expected. I love Chris, he's talented in his own right and he's the same way as Taylor being genuine and true to his song style. I hope these two make it a long way. I think Ace is good looking, but that's about as far as I think about him.. his song choice last night made me say, "huh?"....
Head bubble
Yes, it's disgusting. Try submerging your head under water, i.e., swimming or tub, etc. When you come up, pinch both sides of your nose closed and blow as hard as you can. Usually works for me. Good luck.
I would discuss it with the head of QA....nm

Thank you, you hit the nail on the head.
Thank you for saying that, I was thinking the same thing.
You hit the nail on the head.
nm
I think you hit the nail on the head when you
said "preference of style." However, preference of style should not even come into the picture. There needs to be a standardized "style" within each company with those guidelines given to everyone, MT and QA alike.
