2nd place winner – Writewingnut wins 50 credits
1st place winner – Swibiruntn wins 100 credits
Enjoy your winnings! Too bad it isn’t cash, eh?

Mini-Update on my injury (see last post if you need to catch up!):
I didn’t feel as bad as I thought I would when I got up Friday morning. Perhaps it was because my jaw was relatively still while I slept or maybe I still had some pain killers running through my system. The latter is most likely as I dosed myself very well before I finally went to bed.
Throughout the day my jaw and chin became more painful, and I also noticed other aches and pains that weren’t making themselves known Thursday night. My left thigh, left shoulder and my abdomen all hurt too. I get a lot of pain if I try to raise my left arm to shoulder level.
Oh and I was confused when I wrote the last post! Actually I was confused even when I was in the hospital. I kept telling everyone that my left jaw and ear hurt worse than the other side. Well, duh, it’s the right side I kept pointing to and cradling. I hope the Dr. and x-ray tech realized that I meant the right side was the worse of the two and didn’t think that I was just demonstrating the pain of my left jaw by pointing to and touching the right.
My RIGHT ear really hurts, or maybe it’s my jaw where it joins the skull- the Temporal mandibular joint. If I move my jaw side to side, try to make my upper and lower teeth touch, push my chin in or out it hurts the most in that area. Oh and I sneezed three times on Friday and almost screamed in pain each time. My ear or something very close to it pops loudly and painfully when I sneeze. My ear still has the full congested feeling too, even though my hearing on that side seems normal. If this doesn’t calm down over the weekend I’m going to have to get it checked out.
Hi Tricia,
Just visiting for the first time via eric’s Panic blog.
I’ve read back over your postings on this page, so this is a collective comment.
Sorry about your jaw; sounds painful.
My wife and I also enjoy gardening and fight the leaf battle all the time too; judging from your flickr photos, you two are much better at it than we are.
Yesterday, I saw a lizard catch and eat a mole cricket. Fascinating.
Thanks, I’ve enjoyed my visit.
Oh dear – that’s just horrible 🙁 you’re really suffering.When you feel like you’re sneezing cover you’re nose with your finger – or put your finger across your nose usually that stops me from sneezing.
I didnt’t participate in the contest because I have 1000 blogmad credits and I wasn’t going to read someone’s entire blog for 100 ,sorry 😛
Oh yes,and some of those photos are stunning.When my blog grows (currently 120 visits a day) would be happy to post some to promote your blog.
Glad you are feeling better. Thank you so much for the credits. It was a wonderful surprise to wake up too.
Glad you’re feeeling better, Tricia! Thanks so much for the credits. I was so shocked to see all of these BlogMad credits coming in and immediately went to see if I’d won your contest. You put a big smile on my face for the day…thanks! 🙂
