Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Sup Rags.. Its not here yet...but. I am heading back to Pittsburgh to do some business and work a little. Am going to secure the needed transport to get the boat down here to Florida when I come back down.

Dont worry about me. Just get your sorry azz down here with your Scare-ab in tow. :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

*sniff*... I've been "found out".... :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

i'm awake...at the crack of 1 today...those lil ambien things work

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Jason and Charlie are you two still planning the challenge race?

Morning JT. Get your lazy azz up!

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

I'd be more than happy to go through with it. Especially cause somebody said we wouldnt do it. And I think Rag's would have no problem either.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

feels good to finally get some sleep
and wake up nice and sober

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Ready to conquer the world now huh??

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Wait, Jon, are you saying that you didn't go out last night OR get drunk at home or on the river? I think I'm in shock....

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

no drinking at all, stayed 100% sober, then took some ambien and passed out cold for about 13 hours :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Back bothering you? Better stay off the river and off the bottle! :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Its not feeling too bad today, sometimes worse than others, however I'm pretty careful about whati do these days to keep it from hurting. If I were sitting in a chair typing this at a desk it would be a whole diff. story.

I need some new sticker ideas...yall think fountain or baja stickers would sell on ebay?

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

If you aren't at a desk, do I want to ask where you are sitting? :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

laying on the bed, LAPTOP :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Makes it convenient to browse the UC section I bet..

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

No kidding Jason. I wish my office, oh hell no, never mind, I'm not EVEN gonn ago there!

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

never thought of it that way, my back just can't take sitting in a chair, wish it was something stupid tho and not cause of being in pain all the time...worst is when my arm goes numb tho, i can't type for ****.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Is this stuff going to go away with the rehab or will it be something you always deal with. I know my knee is a forever thing.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Thats when you have to partake in " The Stranger " :D

Ever see the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. If you have, you'll know what I'm refering to.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Hopefully it will all go away for you. Although, most injuries like that just linger on. I injured my back years ago moving an old 50's era fridge, and it still acts up every so often. My shoulder bothered me for a good 5 months or so before that pain finally left. Since I've been getting back to the gym, the clicking fealing and noise has gone away also. Hope you recover there young Mr. Miller.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

i know what you're talkin about, besides left hand teases right hand pleases

I duno Ange, its been 7 months now and I'm not feeling the least bit "cured". I feel like i have more good days then before but I also avoid the activities that make it worse, and can't do a lot of the fun things I used to. One thing that does suprize me tho is the fact that, I've told them multiple times I'm in the worst shape I've ever been in. The steroid treatments made me put on weight and not being active doens't help, yet no excercise nothing. I would think the therapy would help more if it included something to help me get back in better shape like i was and be able to heal better. I'm not a doctor, but these are my thoughts on it.

Hell just givin up sodas, cutting back from a few a day to like 1-2 a week made me feel like a whole new person. I just feel like maybe theres something else that we could be doing to improve more, but hell i'm not a doc.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

sounds silly....

did you try a tush cush JT???

LMAO Ange...you're beautiful!

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Miller, what about swimming. Is that a possibility. At least you dont have the weight stress since your in water. I've read they use that as a therapy tool.

Bonnie, Not the tush cush. The pillows with the holes in them. OO

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

tush cush? don't think that would do it...i got some drugs that will make it "not hurt" but i won't exactly be productive after taking those. Hell I'll prob. just fall out of the chair if I take those things.

Ok back to productive ****, what kinda stickers should I make. I got dr bills to pay. Even oakley seems to be selling slower than normal this week :(

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Have you been to a chiropractor, just out of curiosity?

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Roll: that actually is a good idea, i need to find a place here to swim more often. I used to have a pool at my old place and swam all the time, not to mention I was in the watersports biz and certified for lifegaurding etc. I'm sure getting back in the water more (without a beer in my hand) would certainly be good for me.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

i know some people who swear by the Chrio. and others that consider them to be like a witch doctor. Only problem for my situation is just that I'm going to see these Orthopedic surgeons and the physical therapist, i duno how the chiro would fit into that. They might be kinda insulted by that, not to mention I'm not really sure that I'm sold on the whole thing either. Some people seem to have a good bit of success by it and then theres others who think its just a load of **** to charge you $ every week.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Thanks Bonnie :D

I didn't take anything they gave me for my knee either. My chiropractor keeps it completely under control.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

My mother had her back broken as a teen when a car T-boned the one she was in. Docs couldnt stop the constant pain she was in. She then tried a Chiro with nothing to loose at that point. Got rid of the pain. She wouldn't hesitate to try it again if needed.

Look at it this way, if you go and it does nothing, your no worse off than you are now. If it takes care of the pain, well who cares if its certified by the AMA or not.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

I can say that I have been to chiro's I didn't like and then I have the one I go to now. If he ever moves, I'm following him. I have a knee cap out of place and a degenerating disc in my back. He takes care of ALL of it. When I think of the number of years I went with daily pain in my knee, this guy could walk on water and I wouldn't be surprised. I can see if he has any suggestions for you if you want Jon.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

I can see Im not the only one having probs posting and slow OSO connection due to other multiple posts.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

jt - for me anyway, it works. I have coccyxdemia. What does that mean? It means I have a pain in my a$$. LOL It's a bony butt so it has no cushion when I sit, which puts too much pressure on my spine and causes me great pain believe it or not. I could never make it through a work day without my tush cush. Depending on your pain, it may relieve some of the pressure on the spine.

JB had back surgery a few months ago and while in the hospital they had him on pain killers derrived from herion. No wonder he was such a space cadet. Maybe you should get some of that. :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Ange...ever think of getting a replacement disc. They have fake ones now. Pretty cool.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Im waiting for the day they make a replacement........ Well nevermind.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

I have absolutely no desire to be cut unless it determines my living or dying. I've lived with the knee pain, I can deal with whatever else comes along.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

I have a few friends that have been through the surgery thing with their backs...definately a difficult process.

Thanks
Jon Miller

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Phew....I'll say. Totally sucked if you ask me, and I wasn't even the one in pain.

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

There ya have it. That surgery is a big fat NO!!

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
 

Damn!!! Now we're talkin'!!!!! :D

Re: Ange!!!!!!!!
