    That is why I retired, friggin bean counters from corporate came in and said we are all interchangeable.
    Radio technicians do not grow on trees. It takes a hard to get license and experience.
    Sorry you can't retire and have put up with the bullshit.
    I used to go shooting to relieve stress.

    Thanks Ken.... I liked exactly what I was doing and I knew exactly who, what, when, etc. Knew what needed to be done and when... Now :notsure: It's "supposed" to help me out, but we'll see

    No "new management", just one new employee. Not sure if she planted the bug, but just leave me alone and let me do what I need to do :anonymous: and I HATE CHANGE!!!!

    Boss wants us to be "inter-changeable".... thing is, we pretty much were, just we each did our own section.

    But WHATEVER!!! I DON"T CARE!!!! 7.5 is 7.5 :oops:

    Well back home and nursing this. Been thru worse but this is right smart. The other one I had done was 32 years ago. A person tends to forget some but you remember pretty quick. They did a nerve block on top of it all and that wasn't a picnic either. Anyway they didn't kill me, so thats a plus. I am glad I've only done 2 and not 4. I feel for ya. I can tell ya something, Duct Tape will not work to contain one to avoid surgery.

    Yea a Nerve Block. The sleep medicine guy (anesthesiologist ha-ha looked it up ) was punching his finger around near the top of my hip bone and I told him it wasn't up there, but thats where they stuck that $#@%&*%$#@ needle. I can tell ya, it numbed me from the belly button down and I mean even the tops of my thighs dam near to my knees. The good thing is it lasted for quite a while, so getting home wasn't too bad. I have to force myself not to get crazy and ruin it. Hard for me to sit still. Haven't figure out how to get in and out of my raised Taco. I have a plastic one step stool I am gonna fix a golf club to it so I can reach it from the seat and put in cab with me. Thanks for all the well wishes. Hope this is the last one.

    Yea I only thought it was bad. After that nerve block wore off and I laid in bed 6 hrs and got stoved up, it came to life. I already take light meds for back pain for 30 years, so they will not write a script for anything different. Same thing when I lost a finger after getting caught up in saw. All I could do is add some over the counter and tough it out. Everything is black and blue including all the junk. Anyway I think about folks who have a lot worse issues and thank God this is a cake walk.

    I wish the swelling would have stayed and the pain gone away.
    I told my wife if you ever wanted sex with a black man, now was the time to do it.
    She wasn’t impressed.
