@Totalanimefan: That's good. Hopefully, it'll help well.

@Totalanimefan: That's not good. I hope you guys get over it quickly.
Have you thought about trying protein powder? Especially the kind with the vitamins?
Most of them can be made with water or stuff like almond milk so it might be easier on his stomach.

@Totalanimefan: Ah. Poor guy! Did they give anything to help that?

@Totalanimefan: That sounds like when my SO had it, he got his back a few days after he felt better.
Hopefully, you'll feel better soon. It def not fun to be sick at all.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, in the long run it'll help him cause he's the only one that could fix the large cylinder and stuff from the motors.
I was going to ask my stepdad if he knows how to fix them. If not, I'll have my sister help me.
Oh dear, that's not good. Still have your sense of smell and taste?

@Totalanimefan: My hometown had a TON of bike riders and Gramps was the one who fixed them all so I helped where I could but it's been like 8 or 9 years since I've worked on my bike. (My SO is the reason it was busted in the first place and I was preggers at the time so not a good combo cause I cried) Lol
Yeah, I think so too! My SO just wants me to try using the old ones for a bit cause they are a higher quality from what he says. I dunno about that tho, brake pads wasn't something I really read into and I just used the ones gramps gave me. XD
Which is why I don't pester him to help much, honestly. He's been dealing with an increase of new people joining his work on top of them adding on to the building. And from the sounds of it, he's helping train the newbies as well for the expansion. *^*

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's a bit far and costly to do, unfortunately. My great-grandpa taught me a lot about fixing bikes, I just have issues remembering all of it but I've been looking it up as I go so I should be able to get it done? It should be. The frame is still in great shape since I took very good care of it. The wheels have nice solid tubes and the wheels had no damage. I replaced the chain, cables, and shifters with new stuff. Then the brakes my SO cleaned up and they were still in really good condition. Though the brake pads might need to be sanded down some as they don't feel as "grippy"; I know that's cause it hasn't been used in years. (I have new brake pads set aside just in case too) The derailleurs are a bit worn but they should last a few more years. The front derailleur just needs to be cleaned 'cause it's a bit rusted too but the metal seems like just a quick scrub down should fix the stiffness caused by the rust.? I just need to spend time with the rust remover and it should be done in a day or two? I'm slow at fixing things and I know I'll have to ask my SO for help on tightening anything or removing stuff. Or I'll get my sister over or even my stepdad cause I know they'd help me if my SO doesn't. *^*;

@Totalanimefan: Closest bike shop is in the city so out of luck there. I have rust remover gel so I'm going to try that if it doesn't clean it up then I'll replace it. I just hope my SO will have time to help me with it. Yeah... Very true. I know I end up walking the yards out for safety reasons. *^*

@Totalanimefan: I fully agree there! I'd like to see the edge of the blocks with sidewalks cause that's where most here in our town walk.
Yeah, I really miss mine. It's been busted for years now so I've had to replace a lot on it. I know, and with three large baskets, I can get pretty much everything I need! I don't have lights for it but I plan to get one after I get the shifter fixed cause I don't know if I need to just fully replace or not. (It's rusted bad!)

@Totalanimefan: Yeah... I have a green cart! And I use reusable shopping bags too. It's just difficult to get the cart through the neighborhood cause there are not many sidewalks and we're right in the school district. Like we're one block from the high school. Lots of car traffic zips past quickly. =^= I'm trying to get my bicycle working again cause I got three baskets for it.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, I have two sizes and it's a pretty good brand. The first set hadn't fit when my knee was really swollen so they sent a second set free. Possible! I don't really take it easy enough for most things so I could just be stressing the joint out again over and over. *^*;
Yeah, same. Our town is pretty small so walking isn't an issue in most cases. I think it's more that I can't go get a full cart of groceries or take kiddo to school that bothers SO. But I've had a phobia of driving for years so working around it without professional help is difficult. But now I can sit and drive a bit without feeling freaked out, I just need more practice and that'll take time.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, my SO doesn't agree with that. XD Learning it is just hard for me but I am trying I just can't remember everything well enough for it to be easy. *^*;
Like two years ago when all the house chaos happened? No, unfortunately, we couldn't afford to at the time with everything. The swelling went down three days later and the bruise healed pretty quickly too. We had thought it'd be fine with time but I guess not. Now it just swells and aches if I overdo it or lift something too heavy but the support sleeve helps.

@Totalanimefan: Wel, I never actually learned how to drive so I walk every where so a ton. 😅 And yeah, our large dog didn't know her strength so she dragged me and my knee popped where my leg bent weird then it popped back into place. Had issues with it since. Plus side, she's much more gentle with me now since I cried when it happened.

@Totalanimefan: Have we? Didn't notice at all. Lol
I'm alright! I walked a lot more than I should have today but I got what I needed done so now I'm just resting my knee with it propped up. *^*
