i had three bad days at work that i know i can work out and i have shaken off each evening , but , my back went out of place tonight again - first time in a couple years i think , the pain is excruciating , and it gets worse continuously untill i can get to the chiropractor here that puts it back - i will be near immobile by monday , then a couple days to weeks recovery until i am back to normal pain level - the tolerable one ,

this stems back to my motorcycle accident in september [the 30th] of 1972 , ive been able to control and contain by care in what i have selected to do over the years , in more recent times it goes out when i bend over to tie a shoe or bend to brush my teeth , as tonight picked up a friends shotgun , turned just right and lifted just wrong , tonight is already hell - only took a few minutes -intense pain every time i move , the next two days are going to be unbearable , mondays call to the clinic will relieve the pressure and intense pain , but it will be a couple weeks till "normal" , dull pain and muscle cramps from the 'bridging' that has already started and will continue till i cannot move my head or arms without pain , there is nothing to be done but call on monday , and suffer till then

so i can feel my anger rising and my guards dropping ,

this weeks political moves by BO - the MN national guard being sent to the ebola outbreak - a local ruling that a man who killed two people that repeatedly broke into his home , stole his possessions and invaded his home again on thanksgiving , was liable to pay their families reparations [he is already in jail for the killings in his basement that holiday] what a load of crap - the whole BS about famous folks not getting held responsible in any way , i am ready to explode

SORRY - RANT OFF ............i am really hurting tonight , no need for sympathy , just an explanation

well , it was better by end of day yesterday , and a bit easier today , the muscles have bridged and i will have a little longer recovery period as a result but i am in a much better mood and looking forward to the end of this event wich will not cancel my thanksgiving festivities nor prevent me going to work , i am much better now both physically and emotionally , just needed to let out a rebel yell the other night ...and shoot something ???

i can get this fixed tomorrow - i will plan it around the end of the day so i wont have to sit in my car back to work and then home again , that offers the best chance i will only make one trip to the clinic ,

ive been easing back on my foolish moves for years - mostly to prevent these episodes , now its going to be easier - ill just claim old age , but one thing i have noticed about society these days , no longer do the young look out for the older as readily as we did when we were young , when i moved here both my neighbors were old , i helped them with their home yard projects , i was always mindful of their age and the task - i tried to step in when youth might be important ,

they are dead and gone now , i have taken their place and new younger couples have moved into their homes , i can get help when i ask mostly , but seldom get the consideration i offered their predecessors , its OK - they are great neighbors , life has just changed and im not going to complain - i was brought up differently , and perhaps the view inward is not so much like the view outward ,
i know we dont live in a halmark christmas movie , and i will get by , it is just hard looking out at things when you are injured and knowing what needs doing that you cannot do - at that time ,

odd , i think i have become my father :ow: and its OK :grin:

This is WIERD Mike. You sound like me or at least we think alike. I to sound like my old man, must drive my son nuts! So I think I'll keep doing it.
Hope the back gets better soon, as I also know what that's like.

i like the way you think rebel - i sure hope we can get together next years trip ...

so i set my appointment and got the back reset , i took the latest they would give me so i could come home rather than drive clear across town to work and back again , better chance this will hold and i can avoid another visit , i feel better - full range of movement back again and other than tenderness less pain by far , should be back to normal in a few days now , then just be careful what i do

Get yourself one of those elastic back braces with the Velcro side cinches, they work, I use mine all the time when lifting and doing yard work. Only thing it interferes with is ccw, so use a shoulder rig.
