I made my therapist cry

[cornerofmadness]

I had a new Physical Therapist Assistant today. She asked what did I do while I was doing my hamstring stretches and I said I worked at the University. She brightened and asked 'Do you know Joanne Ford? How is she doing?'

I had to tell her Joanne had died. She was heart broken. She had known Joanne pretty well. She used to be a vet tech and babysat Joanne's cats. She's going to help me to find a home for him. I was asked to help today but the problem is he's an unfixed male (she didn't believe in neutering, it's a thing down here, a stupid thing) who has to be an only cat. This isn't going to be easy.

I was having trouble today in PT. I had stood for too long and my compressed nerve was really aggravating, weakening my leg. So in exercise #1 my knee completely dislocated so I spent the whole PT session with the estim on and an ice pack while I read my ereader. Sigh. Hurts lots.

I have decided on my nano novel. I'm going to go back to Aneurin and Kaleo's world where I have a few chapters (that I won't count) started. I had planned on doing what i SHOULD do and do the sequel for Temple et al then realized all the research necessary. I'll talk more about this on Jana's blog soon but let's just say high level research and nano are a bitch. It was too late to get a plot for my YA novel sequel that I thought I'd be doing since it's supposed to be a non-erotica year. I'm just not feeling it. Kaleo bugs me every night so I should just do this and get it out of the way. I'm registered at Nano, DocDana if you want to find me. I've got all the busy work out of my face.

Here's the tentative cover for the lamely titled Behind Blue Eyes (it's just something I named it so I can find it). I don't know why the title disappeared.

That's a pretty cover and whee for disappearing text.

Awww to your PT. And ew to your knee. But good to know about the cat...

Yes, get that story out of the way and go on to something else. Great idea!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you. Yeah apparently I hit save in a moment the internet dropped out.

Yeah we're trying to find him a home.

Since Kaleo has already told me all of book 2 as well....yes

Neat cover.

Oy! for the PT. This past summer, one of my PTs did a really crap job massaging my leg, which gave me more problems. It took another 3 weeks to alleviate the damage. Jeez. Dana: I feel you pain, now; I truly do. (I pulled my hamstrings - on my own, mind you - about 5 weeks ago. It's healing, but the asspain remains. [aging is definitely not for sissies; everything takes longer, now.])

Pretty eyes! It's going to be a great cover! :D

WOW! Sorry about your knee & that you had to be the bearer of bad news as well. *huggles*

Good luck with Nano! :D And it is better to get the story out that's bugging you than it is is to sit & try to work on something that just isn't there.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Goodness, Kaleo.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

He's the one who cheats that I referenced in the last writerly ways

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. They are pretty

THanks too. The knee is happy enough tonight.

thanks a third time. Yes I think I really need to get Kaleo and Aneurin's story out there. I have Temple's story in mind but it's that research....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

My mom feels your pain. Dad was being an idiot making her help carry something too heavy. I'm sure she ripped a ham. And ouch to a bad PT. That's terrible. Some of the ones down here are suspect to but I always talk about my brother and cousins who are all PTs so they think I know how to rate their performance :-)

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcome x3! :D

They really are! :D

YAY! That's good, especially if you got any of the RAIN we did! I needed to go move my car & I just missed the monsoon. XD

Yeah. Since it's something you feel like doing, it'll flow. I think Temple won't mind waiting. I'm sure he also knows how important research is. ;p

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I was inside the con for most of the monsoon but had to drive home in it later.

Hahah Temple hates the research. I know it opens with him and Jo in Kennywood and he nearly gets it by a succubus.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Not fun! Hope the con was!

XD Temple! Research is important! Mama COM needs time to do that before she can play with you! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

CoM most certainly does

*nods*

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Snort.

[makd.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Yeah - the other PTs at the practice were good, and two were phenomenal. But it only takes one.....

If/when I need future PT, I will probably not go back to that practice. Not just because of her, but because of a little thing that irked me. When my sessions were over, I sent over a huge basket of goodies from Edible Arrangements. Not a thank you; not an acknowledgement; not even a phone call: such poor manners. Tells me a LOT!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah that does. I mean patients used to give me little gifts all the time and I ALWAYS thanked them. That's just good sense, good business and being a good person

[makd.livejournal.com]

Exactly.
