One handed cartwheels

I can finally do a one handed cartwheel again. Next step: roundoff, back handspring.

Orange Tongue

My tongue drama continues. Ever since I got this new fake tooth ny ears have been ringing, my nose has been burning, my throat is sore and my tongue turned orange.

You can see that the porcelain tooth replacement is really just a cheap nickel tooth covered in porcelain and not covered very well.

image

Its hard to tell just how orange it is based on the pic with flash.

I guess other people have had similar issues.

I am so tired of this tongue freakshow in my mouth. I wonder what causes it. Do I have some underlying fungal infection.? Am I allergic to the cheap metal in my tooth?

I wish I could just start my life over and ate no candy from the beginning.

Bound Feet Are Insane

I had heard of Chinese bound feet but never realized what exactly it was until I was watching this documentary about Albert Kahn where they had some early 20th century film of women walking with bound feet.

So I looked it up on wikipedia - I just could not believe how totally deforming it was. I thought it was just bound as in toes pulled together or prevented from growing. Instead it is totally broken and reshaped in many ways. It looks kind of like high heels shoes on the outside and kind of like a pig hoof.

It was generally an elder female member of the girl's family or a professional foot binder who carried out the initial breaking and ongoing binding of the feet. This was considered preferable to having the mother do it, as she might have been sympathetic to her daughter's pain and less willing to keep the bindings tight. A professional foot binder would ignore the girl's cries and would continue to bind her feet as tightly as possible. Professional foot binders would also tend to be more extreme in the initial breaking of the feet, sometimes breaking each of the toes in two or three separate places, and even completely dislocating the toes to allow them to be pressed under and bound more tightly. This would cause the girl to suffer from devastating foot pain, but her feet were more likely to achieve the 7 cm (3 in) ideal. The girl was not allowed to rest after her feet had been bound; however much pain she was suffering, she was required to walk on her broken and bound feet, so that her own body weight would help press and crush her feet into the desired shape.



I took this picture from the wiki article references above. It seems hard to imagine this.

dropping pounds

When I had stopped working out in August, I had gotten past 160lbs. When I weighed myself this morning I was 151. I refuse to go back into the 140s. I guessing I need to make the decision to work out again I will surely end up back at 145.

Starting to wonder...

If I am going to die from this plague. I can't wait till my dermatology appt on Wednesday. It seems so ridiculous that I have money and health insurance and its taken two weeks so far before I can see a dermatologist.

Everyday I think its going to start going away and it gets worse. In a way it does seems like the original ones are fading but new ones are coming in places I did not have them before.

Frickin rash illness from hell

Like two weeks ago I had this first spot on my arm. I thoight it was a bug bite. After a few days I got another then it spread all over my chest and neck. At first it was super itchy but bendryl helped figuring it was an allergy. Then days turned into weeks and it now seems like its not an allergy. I use hypoallergenic everything to start off with and I've introduced nothing new.

Now I think its pityriasis rosacea. It fits the description very well with hive like welts that have a cigarette papery center. Trust me I have researched like every skin condition under the sun and it seems the most plausible. They radiate out like a Christmas tree if looking at me head on. The unfortunate part is that takes a long time to go away. Here are some links

So I have money and health insurances but it seems like every dermatologist has a months long waiting list and no idea about anyone else to call. Luckily, I made a dermologist appoint for next week about 4 months ago just to get some moles checked out. Here is to forward thinking or being psychic.

And more luckily, thankfully my boss let me work from home while it was really bad this week.

The lighting in the picture don't really do it justice in terms of the redness.

The watery drip in this last pic is really just a water drip not some blister.

Back to 150lbs

I quit the gym back in August and since then I lost the 15 lbs I had gained over two years. I guess I was really meant to be 150. Here is the the blog where I had just crossed 150lbs (e:paul,45837) going the other way. And here is where I was at the weight I want to be but can't dedicate myself to maintaining (e:paul,51035)

Not eating sucks

For my stupid crohn's checkup I cannot eat for 24 hours. Unfortunately, the last time I ate was lunch yesterday and then a bucket of movie popcorn that (e:enknot) bought on the way home from Thursday in the square.

Now I am starving. This is just about impossible. How on earth do people diet? I am so hungry that all I can think about are high calorie snacks. I have taken to chewing up potato chips and spitting them out.

Today is so totally wasted because I don't want to do anything that takes any energy as it will just make me hungrier. I can, however, drink clear liquids and found that the wegman's branch lechee ice tea is amazing.

you cannot tell me carrot top is not on steroids.

I have this buddy who wants to look like him. I makes me throw up a little bit that carrot top would ever be a reference for what anyone wants to be. sorry, carrot top but you have taken the body modification thing too far and are starting to look like Marcia Cross and not in a good way.

I used to have a belly button

Now it lives under a matt of hair that is getting remarkably curly.

I swear there is a belly button in there somewhere.

Thankfully, it has not reached my back yet.
