Default Bad day got better!

Started 2 days ago. Gout flared up in my right wrist (and that is much more painful that the foot). Been on pain killers to take the edge off, missed 2 days of work Then it happened.....The house I have had on the market since Feb SOLD today and Lager99 got my payment for the C6 shifter! WooHoo! Can't get much better than this!

Now that you said that, I'll bet it does, you could always go out and eat some rice......that always makes me feel better.

Not for a while. Can hardly use right wrist...there is no way on earth I could shift. Anyone that has had Gout will understand. It is one of the WORST pains you can get. Even laying a sheet on the part affedcted is intollerable.

Sorry about the wrist. I've got my own share of aches and pains. Ain't gettin older fun? And ain't it grand to have a deversion like the Corvette to get our minds on other things. Bless you and have fun with the new mods.

Thanks. I am sure it will get better soon. But, then again I am on some pretty heavy (percocet)sp drugs so it is not bothering me right now.
