Cap City Build & BS AF

What's the arrow for? Can they not see the break?

 

I've broken the outer bone on my right foot playing basketball it high school. That shit hurt.

But my arm was totally different. Happened in the middle of fucking nowhere...went to a podunk Hospital and they could not give me the surgery I needed.

Went all the way in to town to a bigger one, they couldnt give me surgery till the next day at 3pm. I wasn't allowed and food or water the entire time. That really sucked because all I had that whole day was vodka and beer (I still blame my accident on the booze)

My arm still hurts every single day, but I'm glad it works (for the most part)

 

Lol, guess not!!!

 

Yeah. That would suck ass.

I've got a bad pancreas and when it flares up I have to spend 5+ days in the hospital. During that time I can't have ANY food or water, no ice, no gum, nothing. After about 2 days they will give me listerine flavored sponges on a stick to suck on. lol. Luckily I haven't had a flare up in a year or so

 

Damn, that sounds awful. Can they not remove it?? Sorry if that's stupid to ask, I'm definitely no doctor

 

Motorcycles and booze don't mix very well. Lol. A unicycle might be worse, but that's about it

 

Haha!!!

Yes, I really learned my lesson....and like most of the time, I did it the hard way. Those screws in my bone are a constant reminder

 

Yeah, they can take it out. They were going to last year or so but changed their minds. It's a $500k operation

If they take it out, they have to extract cells from it and transplant them into my liver in hopes I won't be a full blown uncontrollable diabetic

 

That answers that question

 

About 5 years ago, I pretty much lived in hospitals. Test after test. Stents here, drain this, nerve blocks etc. All of it is done with an endoscope that they shove down your throat. Has cameras, tools, needles and shit they can use

 

The money wasn't the issue. Everything was approved by the insurance and I had grants to cover what they didn't. The operation is sort of experimental. The odds of not making it are huge. I'm kinda relieved they changed their minds

 

That sounds like some seriously uncomfortable stuff man.

And that sounds like some seriously scary stuff!!!

Just a reminder how much we have to enjoy every second of this life

 

These days I'm not so bad. The pain sucks from time to time, but I'm used to it now. Have to watch what I eat ( low fat ) and drink very little alcohol. I love beer, so that sucks. Appendix and gall bladder are gone now- didn't help much, but those were easy 2 hour operations

 

Keep on fighting the fight @Ohiophil

I'm going to hit that proverbial hay though

I appreciate you stopping by my thread!!!

 

They also thought i had cancer twice. So Yeah, I've changed the way i look at life. I live every minute like its my last, and I don't worry about stupid shit- because it really doesn't matter. I work hard so I can play hard, and I'm almost always in a good mood because I choose to be that way

 

Yeah, I'm out too. Cya

 

This is priceless!!! Thank you sir!

 

good morning i hope you have a great 4th it'll be raining here all day so i'll be working in the garage again. i've been studying the old man emu lifts. that shit is confusing trying to figure out what you really need. or what will work best for you. or for that matter if i really even need it. i need to be working on the camaro and get it running again the battery is shot and i've got an ass load of polishing to do i haven't driven it in a year and a half

 

If you're putting in Dakars, I recommend removing the second overload spring - it's huge and I may be going back in to remove mine after the front is done. I also have the OME AAL since I carry weight all the time - I probably could have gotten away without that since I have air bags (which I think I'll remove and put in Wheeler's super bumps). I would also recommend puting in the little spacer washers to extend the centering pin in case you end up needing shims (even though you probably won't). Hold off on installing shims or the CB drop until you see if you have vibes - or just check you DL angles. Put in shims and CB drop as needed - do CB drop first.

Oh, and HI CHAD!

 

HAPPY 4TH DUDE!!!

Yeah, research and research and head scratching and more research is pretty much all I do....

What year Camero do you have???
