You'll be back.

 

i won't be the same when i go back. being gone has taought me there is life away from that place they only thought i was an asshole before ha. for the last 5 1/2 months i've been afforded the privlege of speaking with you guys. i don't really talk much at work ( believe it or not i really just don't talk much) so now i get to go back to a place doing something i'm good at but don't like with people around me i don't give a shit about. so back to quiet time

 

Happy and sad you get to go back to work.... although now you'll see what the rest of us go through to keep up with all the non-working folks' posts Hope the shoulder is really ready and doesn't give you too much trouble/pain.

 

well i don't plan on totally leaving i'm too hooked on this place especially this thread. i'll just only be on in the evenings when i can.

 

thanks sue the pain is expected but i've lived with it everyday for years with my back. i don't talk about it much because there's just not much use. the boss always figured it would be my back that caused me to leave that's why i'd been stock piling leave. it's just going to be another pain to get used to no biggie. i don't take my pain pills unless it gets really bad at this point in life not much choice but to keep working anyway.

 

When I joined the military @ 18 I didn't want an office job... nope, wanted a physical, outside job. Well, I got that and as I got older, I wish someone had told me "don't do it" oh, well, such is life... now I spend my days sitting

 

that's funny i was the opposite. i'd spent my youth doing hard work and left for the service with what i thought would be a good comfortable job as an air traffic controller which i was but it wasn't i spent my whole time in a tactical unit and in the field almost the whole time. then got out and had to support the two of us so took whatever job i could find. and a painter/ body man was born and i've been nasty dirty ever since

 

you couldn't get a job as an air traffic controller on the outside? I was a painter/body "man" on the inside. Know the dirt all too well

 

i took my faa exam as soon as i got out and passed with flying colors then was told there were no job openings? this was in the late 80's when they were short on controllers so it didn't make sense. i had to su;port us so found a job and we bought our first house. a few months after we'd moved in i got a job offer for atlanta. being young and stupid i turned it down thinking you know we'd just bought a house and life was moving along it wasn't a good time. in hind sight i should have told christie to move in with her mom, sell the house, and i'd come get her when i got out of the accademy. but i didn't and here we are. as the greatest man in my life taought me "boy if your gonna be stupid you better be tough" thanks Paw Paw

 

Chris ...

Take it easy the first week and don't overwork that shoulder . Slowly build up to your pain tolerance and don't work past it . Once you know your limits then push to just below that

 

night boys.... time to put my eye to bed.... now it's infected

 

boss is wanting me to start back working 5-8's to see how it does and let it get stronger and then can start back on 10's

 

damn sue sorry to hear that get some sleep good night

 

Thanks. It's not too bad... doc gave me some drops to use.... should be gone in a day or two. It's nothing like your shoulder, so I consider myself lucky

 

Just be careful and don't overdo it !!

I had a bad full circumference labrum tear on my r/shoulder back in 2001 that I messed up at work that took 10 anchors to repair it . I was out for 6 months and when the doctors cleared me they said I could go back to work as a heavy duty diesel mechanic

Within just 6 months I was experiencing constant sharp pain . 3 months later I felt something pop in my shoulder while pulling a clutch on a semi . After seeing the surgeon who did the surgery I was diagnosed with another full circumference labrum tear in the same shoulder

 

Sue , please be careful , an eye infection is not good . hopefully you've seen a doctor and taking antibiotics

 

Back yard tonight....... I like my Riva' view

Credit Con for the pic I was enroute from work...

 

kinda what i'm scared of

 

you know though chuck it is what it is i'm just going to go do what i can my problem is not knowing when to stop.

 

Listen to your shoulder and don't push past the pain, the shoulder has to last a long time.
