Morning everyone

51* outside, skipped my walk this morning and slept in

 

Good morning everybody, enjoy your day!

I’m having some trees cut down in the yard, they are supposed to start today. When they set it up I questioned them working on Labor Day, they said the would be here. We will see

 

Morning all

I survived

 

I’m going to head up north in the morning, 2 night camp / fishing trip. Hopefully the weekenders have left, do my volunteer campsite clean up, it’s sad how people leave their site.

Happy Labor Day to all. Be safe and enjoy the day.

 

Oh, Lord. I feel your pain. Literally. I had horrendously bad sciatica in 2013. I ended up having a spinal fusion (L5 - S1) and some "roto rooter" work done as it was found I had a bulging disc, and stenosis, both of which were causing the nerves to be compressed. That worked great. For about 2 weeks. Then, one morning while operating my snow blower (I was in New York at the time, trying to clear 18" from our driveway), and the pain came back. I figured my vigorous operation of said snow blower jacked up the plate in my spine. Went back to surgeon, more X-Rays. He said "The good news is, everything I pout in place is exactly where it's supposed to be. Bad news, it appears you have some pretty severe osteoarthritis in your hips." He referred me to another Ortho that specialized in hips & knees. He reviewed the scans, and said "Yep, you have severe OA in both hips, left is much worse than right." So he did a "resurfacing" procedure on the left hip. That fixed the problem. No more sciatica. Until about 3 months ago.....

I've previously shared my story about breaking a bone in each foot earlier this year. That lead to muscle pain up and down both legs. Then, maybe in June time frame, I tripped and fell in my garage, landed squarely on my left hip. Sciatica returned, once again in left leg only, a few days later. I am going back to the Ortho hip surgeon here in KY tomorrow, for them to evaluate my left hip, see if I didn't totally fuck it up to the point where I now will need the full hip replacement. My theory is yes, since the sciatica is only in my left leg, and not the right. This is the same Ortho that I went to in July, after my ER visit for severe muscle pull in right groin, and they referred me to him based on CT scan result of "severe OA in right hip", which I knew from my 2013 diagnosis in New York. Damnit, I hate this falling apart BS.....

 

The only one of the Old School phrases I have not used frequently is "Blow Yourself".

 

Do you eat them plain? Ketchup makes them delicious.

 

"Model A Ford and a tank full of gas......"

It's challenging to explain "calling cadence" to people that have never Served.
