Stiff!
Now, those of you who know me well enough may be wondering if I am referring to my manhood as being stiff….sorry to disappoint the ladies but it isn’t (at least not at the moment!)
OK, so what am I trying to get across to you all? For some strange reason, since about 11:30 AM today, the right side of my jaw (in the region of the masseter muscle…the one that you use for chewing) is painful and stiff. It hurt nuh rass for me to have my lunch today….some healthy BBQ KFC with cole slaw. Chewing is painful and difficult. Is not a tooth problem….jus went dentist last week Monday and had mi teeth cleaned and all else seemed Ok. I was watching it initially to see if it would guweh…but it hasn’t. So, I got a colleague to write me a script for some Voltaren (Diclofenac) SR 75mg bd, and I took that along with two Beserol (a muscle relaxer mixed with Paracetamol) and had that with my dinner…which luckily happened to be chicken soup. I could hardly chew the solid stuff in the soup. I hope things feel less stiff in a while or I man a go start get worried….(one of the few times I can think of a man wanting to not be stiff eeh?) Anyhow…I hope that I will see some improvement in a while….
Had the displeasure of driving on South Camp Road last week Thursday to go to private practice. Seems it has been dug up to lay pipes (there I go again…) for the upcoming World Cup Cricket (a sport that doh too thrill me) but the road has been reduced to a dirt track and dustbowl. It took me all of ten minutes to make it to turn left on to Windward Road and this was in the Skyline: there was no traffic (I suppose all who knew about the state of the road avoided it). Now, the reason I went that way is ’cause of the ‘ruption that was a gwaan with rival gangs near the end of Mountain View Raod the day before. So, as one man who really nuh have plans to find out how stray shot (or any shot for that matter) feel, I took South Camp Road as an alternative. Naw go deh Thursday dis week doh…..suppose you saw the dust on the cyar when I reached the office…and the vehicle did jus done wash! Aaah bwoy. I hope the road will be restored to some semblance of order before March…or it will be a national embarressment!
Re my wheels…..vehicle was finally cleared from the wharf today…apparently there is now a whole heap of red tape involved that did not exist previously…..rude yute called to say that the vehicle looks kriss. So, I will have to be looking about paperwork between regular work tomorrow, so that I can have her ready to tour by Friday nite of this week….with all documentation in place. Keeping fingers, toes and other appendages crossed! 
Other than that, I been aite, been having some good days at work, most of my patients (public and private) are doing well, so that at the end of the day, I man feel seh me mekkin a difference….it does help to give you some impetus to go to work……plus, today was payday….so there was that to look forward to as well.
Bwoy, I been typing for about fifteen minutes or so, and this jaw still feel stiffish and a bit painful…maybe I shudda go hol a lay down or watch some TV for a while…least it may help to take my mind off it. OK, off to destiff….
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:13 pm Good to hear from you. Glad my ride has reached. Yow me up when it ready for me to come rev it.
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:16 pm Hey, you don’t have to write so much.
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:39 pm Sorry about your condition. I think I took Voltaren before.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:39 pm You always have me grinning the way you pun on words. Hope tomorrow you will be all destiffed.Maybe the new wheels will make all the troubles go away
January 24th, 2007 at 8:08 am Ok, things much less stiff and painful this morning… BTW, for some strange reason, I am not able to comment on most of the ‘blogger’ sites that I prips…..
January 24th, 2007 at 1:29 pm Hope the paperwork for the ride goes smoothly and the pain gets better shortly. I drove South Camp yesterday. They were paving along North Street towards it so hopefully in a couple of weeks things will get back to normal. Dirt track is right.
