Well, Phoebe (my cat) knows something really wrong. She won't leave my side. An ominous sign, I think. Maybe it's just my stress about my surgery tomorrow. This shit SUX.

One of my Oncologists says I'm NOT getting worse...which means I'm not getting better, either. But perhaps after this surgery, and the one on Friday- two in one week! yay!

Damn, a girl that knows her guns too! Makes me wish I still had my 1911, my Yugo M48, my Mosin, my 10/22, my AK-47 and my Swiss K31 (my K31 was one of the coolest rifles I ever had, I just wish ammo wasn't so expensive and hard to come by! I still have a couple boxes though ( ... )

BWAHAHAHAHA! I'm only 5'3" and whenever I shoot a 12 gauge or any shotgun, I end up with raspberries all down my shoulder muscle in the front. It's because my arms are barely long enough to hold the shotgun properly, keep some semblance of a proper stance- or at least start out that way- and keep cocking the cartridges into the firing chamber. If I load my 12 gauge- 7 shells, cock it, and load one more, I have 8 shots, and I have 4 plastic hand-throwers for clay-pigeons, so when I used to go shooting with my ex and his brother, they'd bring their throwers as well, and we'd end up with 8 throwers, and 2 ppl to throw. We'd take turns, but try to get all 8 clay pigeons up in the air as fast as possible, which was always to my disadvantage- two Army Sappers (Spec. Forces, Demo/Explosives experts) throwing the pigeons for me, and I barely had time to cock, shoot, cock, shoot, repeat 6 times. Because I have to fully extend my arm to cock, and didn't ever really have time to adjust my stance, I'd end up with all of my weight on my back ( ... )

on holding shotguns... sagesephiroth September 26 2007, 04:59:59 UTC

Funny you should mention the proper holding of a shotgun... one of my best friends' mothers fires from her hip... accurately! Think you and her should hook up over guns sometime ^_~

Re: on holding shotguns... purplecontagion September 27 2007, 04:42:31 UTC

I've only ever shot a shotgun when shooting clay pigeons in the air, but I'm gonna take my 12 gauge out and try shootin' from the hip... just one question... do you hold it like a hand-gun? or do you rest it on your hip as you would on your shoulder? LOL hehehehhehe I'm a 'tard sometimes, but I don't wanna break my wrist or arm or something, and when it comes to guns, and not much else, I'm 10000% about safety and doing things the correct way.... hehehe

*Grin* Wewt! A woman who loves guns!

I was raised with them, and still occasionally go out to the range with my grandfather. The big blasting kind of guns are fun, but my ideal type is a sniper rifle, like a PSG-1. Nothin' says lovin' like a bullet straight from your gun to another's heart from 500+ yards away than with a precision sniping rifle ^_~

Aside from the topic of destroying things, I really hope the surgery went well for you, since this was posted some time ago, and I've heard from you recently on CrySpace, so I'd assume it went well. I'd fear for my life in the hands of doctors in this country... well, maybe not fear for my life, but my wallet O_O; I've never had surgery, though I've had a guy stick a needle into my knee about 5 times when I was 12 to remove fluid that built up from falling off a fence and landing on it lol.

See ya around CrySpace, sweet.

surgery. purplecontagion September 27 2007, 04:57:57 UTC

Yes. I had surgery on Monday of last week. I was only in the hospital for about 30 hours, they just removed a lymph node from my right side groin cluster...which is just below and to the inside of the body from the hip bone... just in from the hip joint, and just under the epidermis and dermis (skin..heheheh I'm a hapless "tard sometimes ( ... )

Re: surgery. sagesephiroth September 29 2007, 17:32:32 UTC

Sounds like a somewhat complicated surgery, even if it's just getting under your skin :P

Funny you should mention swelling and/or needing surgery in those areas, as Hannah has been having some trouble with them lately... I forget what it's called, but she's been taking silver-something, as her family relies more on homeopathic remedies and seem a hell of a lot more effective than seeing a doctor. When I find the technical name for it, I'll let ya know, as any little thing can help, and if things get worse, you can at least tell yourself you tried ^_^

Safe and speedy recovery,

Thank you for the info. The only silver.....? medicine I know of, and use because it's a miracle worker- is Silver Sulfadiazine, which is a burn cream, and I swear by it- if you put on a 3rd or 2nd degree burn asap after getting the burn, the better it works- it takes ALL of the pain (and BURN pain, against most other types of pain, feel like you've just stuck your hand in a fire and grabbed a red-hot log...like fucking hell and then some hehehehe) away, and prevents blistering, and heals the burn SO fast! It was initially developed to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin- to treat the burning sensation, and then they, whoever 'they' are, realized that it also works on real burns, very well, I might add, in addition to just treating the sensation of burning from something that was not actually a burn...but I've used it on really dry skin, burns as misc. as from a curling iron, to touching a hot pan while cooking, to cigarette burns, to sunburns!! and believe me, I have skin that burns in 8 minutes of direct sun- ( ... )
