Kim, I am sooooooooo cross at myself!!!!! I knew it was the little crab!! When I read your post I laughed and said it to my husband, and he said (deadpan, natch ) 'but why Sebastian?', and I said 'I bet it was that crab or whatever from the Disney film in the sea' (not my finest hour lol). I started typing and he said I'd better not assume it was, just in case....Why did I listen?!

Always go with your first answer

Bram.

That one is a really good one Nanc. I like it it cause it is a CRaPS shoot what kind of day it will be for us lol. I can't say what my husband calls my knee besides our worse nightmare. Just be glad we can joke about this. If it didn't hurt so bad I would be rollin so hard my husband would call the looney bin lol.

Me and my friend who also has it call it CRiPS lol, because on the really really bad times that's how we feel with it! It's an adjective too, as in 'I'm feeling CRiPSy today' or 'how's it going with you and the CRaPSy CRiPS'

Shame my phone spell correct keeps changing it to CRISP. Grr.

I use CRiPSy as an adjective too, in exactly the same way! My physio calls it CRiPS, just as a way of pronouncing CRPS as one word rather than individual letters. In fact, at my last appointment I told her that the weather had my arm feeling more CRiPSy and she knew exactly what I meant.

I actually nearly told what, to me, is a funny story here but I'm afraid it may be offensive to some.
