Will the pain ever go away?
Comments (6)Hi knb, I lost my Dad on Oct. 20/09. He had a stroke. He lasted a week before he actually passed away. My Mom passed away when I was 28. If I learned anything from that, I am 47 now, is that it takes time. Grief hurts. There are no ways to avoid it. Try and accept the feelings you are having and don't fight them. There is absolutely no right or wrong way to go through this. As far as how long, everyone is different. If you can see one bright spot in everyday, even just a minute, you'll been on the right path. One minute leads to two, then an hour, then a day, then a weekend and so on. Before you know it, your grief won't be the all consuming power in your life like it is now. Just allow yourself to grieve, but most importantly focus on the bright spots. They are the light at the end of your tunnel so to speak. I am as well struggling with the loss of my Dad. But I know from experience what to expect, and what is normal for me. I have two girls 12 and 10, so I know that having kids can make it harder to cope. All I can say is ask for help if you can, from friends or family and hang in there. Trust me, it will get easier. Grieving is a process. You can't skip ahead without going through what your mind and body need to feel better. I'm at a point in my grief, where I need to focus on my bright spots. If I don't, it will pull me down too much. I'm actually looking forward to refocussing. Will I be grief free quickly? No, but I'll start to feel better. Little by little. And in time I know I will be back to normal. That's going to feel a whole lot better than where I've been. I hope this helped you, and all the best Lizzy...See MoreInjured doggie won't take pain pills or stop licking incision
Comments (10)Put the collar on, and keep it on. Yes, they go nuts, but they adapt. I've had several cats I had to collar. Buster kept trying to back out of it. It was a couple of day before he stopped walking backwards. LOL! Just make sure the collar is the correct size - that he can reach his water and food dishes. They learn to navigate with it. My cats have had to wear them for 7-10 days and they all adjusted to it. It's better than having the wound pop open and have to be restitched, possibly infected. About the pills - sometimes a pill popper works. You can slide it into the side of the mouth and it pushes the pill far back down the throat so they are less likely to spit it out. I have never had luck with masking meds in food. One thing that I do that almost always works - pulverize the pill into powder (but check first to make sure it isn't a coated pill that shouldn't be dissolved until it hits the stomach). Squirt a little canned food gravy from some dog or cat food into a small shot glass or coffee measure cup, mix the powdered pill in with it, pull it up in a 1 or 3 cc syringe (without the needle) and squirt into the mouth. Your vet should be able to give you a 1 or 3 cc syringe. Sammy says this too will pass!...See MoreUnexplained jaw pain
Comments (8)Hi Jenn, Are you sure you don't grind your teeth? I do something weird with my mouth at night. I have my mouth closed, but yet I am pushing down real hard with the front of my mandible......which causes the TM joint to be squished for long periods of time. Maybe that's happening to you? I have fibromyalgia, and have learned that every day, there's going to be a "pain du jour"! Sometimes it hurts so bad, I'm sure it's something serious. But I've learned just to take some tylenol, and wait for it to go away, and most of the time it does. But it is important to consider what riverrat said too. I will probably die of a heart attack, because I've been through the mill with funky pains in my face, jaw, neck, arms, chest, etc., and it's never my heart! So I'll probably ignore "the big one". hahaha Also....I am learning that the mouth, especially the maxilla (the upper part of the mouth) is chocked full of tons of nerves that travel here and there....(especially the sinuses), and can give all sorts of unexplainable pains. I don't know about you, but I seem to have a mouth that will always be the center of pain for me. Good luck with this, and I hope your pain goes away soon. Try to baby it for a few days, and see if it goes away....See MoreBest primer & pain for old galvanized
Comments (8)Hey, thanks for the replies! OK, well, fortunately, the rust is appearing only in isolated spots. At most it would take a gallon of primer to coat all of them. This is on a gable roof over a 20x50 foot workshop. So yes, it's a lot of roof, but I'm only planning on addressing the problem spots. The flaking isn't the zinc galvanizing - that doesn't flake off anyway. It just seems to wear away. The rusted areas seem to have a some history that is different from the rest of the roof. They look like they had a heavy application of some kind of primer that has cracked and lifted over the years. Underneath it's more discolored than rusted. I suspect these may have been areas that lacked galvanizing in the first place and were given extra primer to compensate. Anyway, most of these areas I chipped off the old primer/paint layers and got down to sound metal. The galv steel is also a heavier gage than what I've seen at the home improvement stores; I'm a bit reluctant to chuck it out when it just needs some touch up. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been painted for at least 25 years, and that's not bad. So I'd even consider blasting/primering/topcoating the entire roof, I just want to make sure it's the right products. I did some web research and found a fair amount of info since I posted. I don't think I saw the Sherwin Williams site yet, though. So far it appears to me that zinc-bearing primers are a bit complicated and not necessarily the best solution. Although I could see cold galvanizing the corroded areas (after wire brushing) and then using a suitable pimer. Also, so far, it appears that the most compatible primers with galv. is a latex based primer, similar to what Rustoleum offers. I am gradually losing my reluctance to use a latex-based primer on galvanized. I will visit the Sherwin Williams site and see what they have to offer, as well. Here is what I've learned so far about zinc-bearing primers, it seems that they fall into two categories: those with inorganic base, and those with organic base. The inorganics are basically cold-galvanizing but are also porous and do not provide much in the way of a barrier. The organics have a lower zinc content and a higher barrier performance, but ironically do not provide much in the way of galvanic protection. Then there there are the one-step epoxy systems that claim to dispense with the need for primer, but on an old weathered roof that probably never been clean enough, I'd probably go with a primer/top coat solution. Once I do get a good solution for the shop roof, the roof over the 2 car garage has totally shed its silvery paint. The underlying galv coating is still in great shape, no rust; I've been waiting for Mother Nature to finish off the paint there before I recoat it. Any recoating will probaly wait until next spring... the weather is a bit dodgy these days for full roof painting....See Moremarciasc
