Dont get me wrong, I like my little Kodak. It was a spur of the moment purchase as I had gone so long without a camera. But there are so many things I havent been able to take pictures of because I dont have a better camera or one with removable lenses like for telephoto or panoramic.
Take yesterday for instance, I was sitting on my porch with my little flat camera watching the birds at my bird feeder, and I have a hummingbird feeder up. Because of its limitations, I couldnt zoom in close enough to get a really good picture of him It was just a mediocre picture.
Maybe one day I'll win the lottery and be able to get one I really want. I was thinking of a Nikon, that seems to be one that folks talk about a lot.
Oh well, guess I cant complain too much though, it could be that I didnt have a camera at all...LOL

Ok so I had to go in this past Monday for an MRI on my back to hopefully find out why Im not getting better after my fall back on March 2. All the x-rays didnt show a thing, he said my alignment was still good, spacing was all good and no fractures. So he sends me for this MRI.
Im extremely claustrophobic, I cant even watch people in a tight space, like contortionists that put themselves inside suitcases or small boxes. Oh and that movie Buried Alive and things like that are impossible for me. You should see me in an elevator LOL
Well they asked me if I was claustrophobic and I was like OH YEAH...so they scheduled an open MRI. So Im thinking this machine will be opened up I wont feel trapped....BULL CRAP!!!!!
Open MRI my big toe...that thing scared me almost worse than a closed one. You are sandwiched between 2 giant pieces of metal, and you really feel like you are in a sandwich (I know how bologna feels now, all that was missing was the cheese). They had this thing strapped around my lower back, and the whole time Im in this thing, all I can think of is how would I get out of here if something happened.
I was in that thing for 50 minutes, barely able to breathe and trying to look around for an escape. And unfortunately, if something had happened I would have been completely trapped...so yeah I hope I never have one of them things again.
And the worst part of it...Im in there because my back is in so much pain I can barely even clean my house or take care of my animals...and they have me laying on my back for 50 minutes on a hard surface...when it was done...I couldnt even move my legs for about 5 minutes, I was stuck there. Then when I did get up, I couldnt walk, it took me 10 minutes to get to my car and it wasnt that far.
They gave me the disc with my MRI pictures and I looked at them here at home, but have no idea what Im looking at LOL
In case the doctor today doesnt give me the disc back, I saved them all to my computer hehee
Anyway, just had to vent about my experience.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody.

I would like to send out a huge thank you to for the 3 months subscription. It was completely unexpected and very much appreciated.

P.S. And my doctor made me mad today, went in for a check up after my fall last week, my back is hurting so bad I cant see straight, and yet he did absolutely nothing for me, just gave me more motrin..gee you would think if you are hurting worse than when you fell, something is up.

I posted the pictures we had of the snow, but honestly I HATE snow with a passion because first I was in a car that flipped over because of the stuff and then the day after this snow, my steps had iced up and I didnt know it until it was too late.
The doctors said that I just sprained my back and my left knee and a little bit of my shoulder, but I think there might be something worse with my back than they saw because its been over a week and it hurts so bad I can barely move.
Besides I have a bruise the size of a canteloupe on my rear, and boy is that fun to sit on. But it seems every day it just gets worse and worse. I go see my doctor Friday, but keep hoping for a cancelation cuz I need it bad.

And on another sad note, I only have 3 weeks left of my subscription, that really stinks. This past year has just flown by. And its probably gonna be a long while before I can ever get another subscription, so gotta get used to minimal stuff again LOL
Man I need to win the lottery LOL

Well I hope everybody has a great rest of the week and I'll see ya around.

Edit... Well a small miracle happened and I was able to turn my internet and all back on. Thank goodness cuz I dont think i could have gone a few months without it LOL It had only been a few days and I was going nuts.


I am having my internet turned off and wont be able to get on the site here until I get it hooked back up here at home because the stupid library considers DA a pornographic site, so no matter what I do, I cant even get into my own account.

So just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year, be safe, and see you all when I get back online.
