What's happening with you now?

Truthfully I don't really know. I had a bad fall last year and landed squarely on my back, and fractured my shoulder blades. Doc thinks I may have fractured my ribs at the same time, and they hadn't healed properly. Thinks me handling heavy Garden equipment over my head.. tree pruners etc.. might have caused them to snap again..

I don't think mine healed right either because 3 of them broke and I was told I had pulled tendons. The last one was a rebreak.
 

I had some major tooth pain over this past weekend....went to the store and bought some Orajel, and that helped, but I still made a dentist appt, Monday morning....for the first opportunity that they had a cancellation. They called yesterday, and I went there this morning. An old root canal from years ago had developed an infection, so the dentist had to remove the whole thing. Now the shots are wearing off, and I will probably be taking some Aleve, and living on pudding and milkshakes for the next few days. I seem to be getting closer and closer to getting dentures.

Have been a little tired lately, and have slowed down the pace a bit. We close on the island house on the 18th, and my wife is coming home on the 24th. Haven't seen her since early February, and she is bringing Little Kitty with her. She was a stray that we started feeding two years ago, and isn't much older than that. Hoping that Li'l Bit, and Little Kitty hit it off. My wife and I had pretty much called it quits do to issues I really don't want to go into here. She wants to give it another try, so hoping things work out. Kind of tired of living alone.

I did not know you were going thru that,It is great that she wants to try again, Depending on the issues you might want to seek a professionals help to work thru it. You must still love each other, if she is returning and you are hoping things work out. Neither one of you should take it for granted and must try to resolve the issues that caused the seperation, I wish you both well but be prepared, you are going to have to give up half the garage LOL

If the aleve doesn't help you might need pain killers for a couple of days. Did he give you some antibiotics for the infection? You could probably handle some mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, oatmeal. Anything that does not really require a lot of chewing. Just make sure you do that on the other side.

Is the island house one that you're selling or buying @Geezer Garage?

I hope things go well with you and your wife. Sending positive vibes your way.

The doc says I've pulled a muscle and that's protruding over my broken ribs . I don't have to much pain at the front.. mainly my side, and definitely my back..

that's good. mine took me out for 6 wks. couldn't do my hair and could barely get dressed.
 
Today I am spending the day straightening out the mess I got myself into by accepting too many things being pushed onto me by Fidelis Care. Monday I will spend my time letting them know what I will accept and what I will not. It seems to me I was better off without these companies in my life. I think they offer you free this and that and you take it and then they put you through the hoops. No more. I'd rather pay for what I want or do without.

What kind of things? You mean medications and therapies, i.e. too many appointments, or do you mean actual things, i.e. actual stuff?

I haven't a clue. My first thought was obviously gas cloud, but when I examined the picture in my paint program, there is a definite gauze fabric texture on it - possibly a reflection off your clothing?

@Gaer: "This is transparent, yet it has clean, crisp edges, form and intelligent design. The enormity of it is beyond comprehension!
What is it? It's driving me crazy! Someone tell me!"

For me, Gaer, this looks like an intelligent craft, orbiting, or taking off from, a sphere. The sparkly lights are cities. On the craft, the sparkly lights are beings.

That's what it looks like to me if this were a painting.

YES!!! I think you are the only one that agreed with me. This has to be some type of craft with intelligent design!
Imagine!
WOW!!!! if I had a mind, this would blow it!

Hope for the best outcome for you and your wife……and Li’l Bit and Little Kitty.
Good Luck to you both.

I was like you. I didn’t care about becoming addicted. I just wanted the pain to go away and feel normal for awhile. I took about every brand of narcotic on the druggists shelf. I had 9 back surgeries and was in the hospital for almost 3 months. My back is now filled with rods, screens and pins, but believe it or not, I can stand up str8.

In 2009, I got rammed by a huge freakin’ KW semi. He all but went completely over top of me. It took the Paramedics almost an hour to dig me out of my vehicle. I had a lot of other injuries besides, including a broken back and cracked spine. Even though the doctors worked on me in surgery for almost 9 hours fixing everything, the doctors told my brother I was probably going to die due to blood loss, shock and a damaged liver. My spleen was also removed. My brother called for the Priest and he gave me my communion or last rites. I was in a coma for 5 days, but it was drug induced to relieve the stress off of my heart and lungs. I had 4 broken ribs, one punctured lung, so I also had a collapsed lung, broken right arm, broken left wrist, head injuries, but no brain damage. I also had a fractured left knee cap and a damaged right eye caused by my inside rear view mirror. They saved my eye. I was told that 7 different specialists worked on me in the operating room taking turns working on me fixing what was their area of expertise.

To make things worse, my mom died just 5 days before my accident and the funeral was the day before my accident. They said my brother was filled with grief. He wouldn’t leave my room until I either died or woke up. The nurse asked him where he was going to sleep. He told her on the floor if he had to, so they set up a bed in the hallway directly outside my room for him. After I woke up, he went home the next night. My brother and I was and still are best friends. It’s just him and me left in our family. My mom, dad and Sis are all gone. Sis died about 15 years ago during an asthmatic attack. That is what we named her, Sis. My brother is 4 years older than me. When he was a 6, mom had Sis and when she came home mom and dad told my brother that this is Sis, that’s what he always called her and it just stuck ever since.

When I left the hospital, I had 4 prescriptions to get filled, including antibiotics, Xanax. Percocet and another pill for Restless Leg Syndrome. After another 3 months, I was tapered off, or weaned off the opioids. After being off the pain pills for only 2 days, I had to have them, but not for pain, for addiction. I ended up having to get detoxed and then going to rehab for a month. Talk about a walk through hell, that’s what I was put through. Please be careful with the Norco and good luck.

My brother took this at the salvage yard after the vehicle was towed away.

I can’t even imagine what this horrendous accident felt like or did to you. Happy it’s over and you are able to have life.
Take care.
