Ding dongs, I have not seen that name in a while! it pops up every so often over on Bloom County as it is the junk food of choice of Mr Steve Dallas. Myself, as a kid I remember Twinkies from Hostess along with the super sweet fruit pies which made your teeth hurt. Also recall Drake Devil Dogs and Funny Bones though my Dad was a big Entenmann’s guy with their raspberry-cheese Danish strip or the similar one made right in the local Publix. I often think of the old man when I see the Danish strips by the Danish Bakery when I go shopping at Publix. Once in a blue moon I still purchase one and they are still pretty darn good.
Ref: R.I.C.E.Ice the injury for the first 24 hours. After that alternate heat and cold 10 minutes ice on, 10 off, 10 heat on. Then repeat three or four times a day.
The cats will be glad to know that M.E.A.T. is an alternative (one that I’ve found works better for me): https://www.lifemark.ca/blog-post/treating-acute-injury-go-meat-over-rice
Good news to report here my 15 year old cat Bella got out a few days ago and was missing. Got a call today she is now safe at home eating and sleeping. I would like to take this time to express the importance of getting your Kitties chipped. If Bella was not chipped she may still have been lost. So please get your kitties chipped
Be careful with compression in knee injuries… Squashing the patella into the joint too tightly can make things worse and/or cause new irritation/damage. Boop…
Hmm….Cat therapy is still the best. I repeat myself often on this subject. It’s all about the mysterious healing properties of Kitten Rays. Adult cats emit them too.
I don’t miss Twinkies or the rest. But oh I wish I could get Big Red (soda) and especially persimmon pulp. Persimmon pudding is the best dessert – and you can make persimmon bread from frozen persimmon pulp too. Best place to get it is Indiana. And no one ships from Indiana that I know of any more sadly. And driving to Indiana at present isn’t a safe idea. 8(
Saw daughter 2 and SIL last night. They are BCN fans but don’t read daily. He has recently hurt his knee. I told them to read this week’s strips. Ps. They both turned 35 this year!!

I once sprained my ankle and was advised to keep it elevated. It really hurt. When I’d had enough I laid my ankle down and the pain went away.

Carbs are happening her
Just why that is is perfectly clear
The Woman’s eating cookies galore
Maybe they Man will make some s’mores!

I think it’s time to have a cup tea
Going with the carbs, you must agree!
…….
There’s cookies and cupcakes being baked
A sugar rush is soon taking shape
Carrots and celery long forgot
A snickerdoodle would would sure hit the spot!
…….
I think it’s time to have a cup tea
Going with the carbs, you must agree!

Cats will sit by your side
On your lap is where they abide
They know when you are hurting so bad
Falling asleep all together would really be rad!

One of the hardest things about my low salt Meneires diet is that Hostess Cupcakes are now a “forbidden food”.

She is resting, her knee has ice on it and is elevated. That only leaves compression. Lupin, get on her knee and apply compression.

Just take those boxed pastries off the shelf
I’ll sit and medicate by myself
I’m feelin’ better now, bless my soul
Just need one more cinnamon roll
Don’t try to make me diet keto
I’ll never get up, put my feet on the floor
Bring more carbs, please, ‘til my knee ain’t sore
I like an old time pastry roll
Everybody
Old time pastry roll
That kinda sweet food just soothes my soul
I reminisce about my knees of old
