Keystone State Thread

I ran out of sunlight but completed my task of tilling/pulling weeds along the fence next to our neighbor.

This is the second time since Spring I let the weeds grow to an unbearable length.

Anyhow...it's done.

Things are slowly looking better...not in a rush but just annoyed how fast the weeds grow.

 

Good morning Pennsylvania. Back to work for me. Back is still a bit tender but better than it was on Monday and tues.

 

Good morning all. Up earlier than usual, just couldn't sleep.

 

Morning PA

Hope we get some of that rain they're calling for today, yard is a little crispy. Looks like cooler weather after the storm!

 

Good morning neighbor to the North.

 

Yes , it's slowly getting better. Went to a specialist, took x-rays says my gaps look good , then stuck it with a needle and didn't pull any puss out just fluid , then said looks good take these anti inflammatory pills and ice it..... see u if it doesn't get better. Yesterday was the first day I was able to bend it all the way, hurt but able to bend it. Also now able to walk up steps but down steps is a challenge. It is getting better but so slow....

 

Get that knee checked out by MRI or Cat scan, don't just get shots, fluid drained or pain meds to mask the pain, you'll only cause more damage. Once I finally got knee surgery and was going through physically therapy last year I've been 100% better with my knee. Now I'm dealing with both knees since that guy did a hit n run on me two weeks ago, only it's the band that connects the back of the leg that was stretched from being bent backwards when he hit me with his car. Hurts like hell when my legs are straightened all the way. Walking and stairs are a bitch.

 

My Specialist told me stairs are the worst for knee problems. Going down stairs lead with bad knee, up with good knee. Down with the bad, up with the good...

 

Heck!

I had bilateral knee replacements done in Mar/Apr 2018 (4 weeks apart).

I can't remember what they told me about which leg to lead with during physical therapy...but your Specialist's guideline sounds right?? lol

My condition was bone-on-bone (medial meniscus gone on both knees!) as a 52 year old! (Service Connected Military Disability Rated)

Like the new shocks I had installed on my Sport (TRD Lift), everything has settled in nicely.

 

Yep, I have to go down 1 step at a time. Lead with good then bad on same step as good , then good to next step then bad .... although if small steps I am starting to do them normal with tolerable pain. It's slowly getting better. It's just so slow....

 

Well it's hotter than I expected it to be. Got some crap together to go to the dump Saturday and then decided to pressure wash the patio, sidewalk to the patio, and basement steps/landing. I'm absolutely soaked and not from the pressure washer. Had to come inside and sit in the AC

 

I got out the door early today, since I had to fast, to get a blood and urine draw. While waiting for the draw center to open an older man came in with a cane. He could barely walk. He told me his back was shot. Since we had at least 15 minutes until they opened the doors he sat down on a soft couch with no arms. When they time came to get up I had to pull him up. I asked if he hurt his back working. He said yes, playing football in the NFL. He went on to say he played two years, 1968 and 1969, for the Philadelphia Eagles. The guys who played in those days were not treated well. I then came home and cut the grass with my grandson before a light rain fell. It's now time for nap.

 

Tell me they caught that scumfk

Good leg goes to heaven, bad leg goes to hell is how my wife was taught with her surgery in May haha

 

Correct.

 

Not yet. Still getting the run around from insurance company too. It's been two weeks. I have rent covered tomorrow but bills and rent are going to be a bitch next month if they don't get their shit together, send out an adjuster so I can get my trailer fixed and be able to support my family again. I'm doing as much as I can but in my line of work without a trailer it's next to impossible.

I should contact one of those accident chaser lawyers but I don't know where to start with that shit. I still want the cops to charge this bastard for hitting me. It's a fucking felony.

 

Pretty bad when mid 70s feels like fall

 

Welp boys its a storming out right now. I beat the heavy stuff as I was in south jersey headed to central jersey last stop was 5mins from my house. The area i was just in 15mins ago is getting pounded.

 

Good day all
Came home to a cool 67* wife is having dinner with family so I turned off the AC till she gets home about 7-8 pm
Picked up a bacon cheeseburger on the way home turns out I didn’t just get the bacon but also got hot peppers on it not what
I order but still a pretty good Sammy

 

Not too up on that piece but maybe short term rent a trailer, keep receipts and submit to the insurance. Had to do that with my truck, though IDK about the trailer particularly.

My surmise would be a lawyer would give you a free consult anyways and go from there. I think you as a citizen can file criminal charges without the police doing so.

 

Hope you guys out East are OK, seen on nightly news all this flooding! Philly, NJ,NY. Crazy weather.
