I'm back and moving Off the drugs finally
« on: July 13, 2012, 10:33:26 AM »
Monday my desktop crashed, got that malware.  Geeks said it will be a min of four weeks before they can get to it.  They had that many come n monday before noon when I got there.  Last friday they had no back log.  Using my netbook, it's slow.  The keyboard is hard to use as well.  Lots of typos.  So be forgiving please.
 
Back is giving me fits, I've lost ten pounds, all muscle mass.  My waist has not changed one bit.  I'm hurting a lot, can not pickup anything.  Can not bend over.  Started going back to the gym last evening.  Met the wife there.  Doing some of the things my Physical Therapist had me doing before the fall.  Today I'm no having any ill affects from last evening, so going again this evening. 
 
  While I was in the bed one of the GIs got into some seroius trouble.  Involving Drink, a Woman, and housesitting.  He's now in the Fairbanks Correctional Facility.  It was all over the news and the way they reported it, in the Court Of Public Openion he's toast.  He had too much to drink, grabbed her and restrained her for a moment, then let her go.  The news is making it look a lot worse, and are not reporting that she was charged with assult as well.  But he is geting an education.  Think he will get to spend a few days more in jail, but think he will beat the sexual assult charge.  Especially, when she did not show up for her hearing Wednesday.  We'll see.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Wife has brought herself down from drugs several times after each operation.  It takes a bit of time to cut the dosage and stretch out the time between.  The once I used some stuff I was as afraid of not waking up again as I was of the pain, so cut down to 1/2 pill and then none pretty quick.  The difference is I do not tolerate much of the stuff, wife can take a lot, and I stand pain a lot better.


For what it is worth, we both use Arnica Montana for bruising and healing.  It is homeopathic stuff found in Health Food type stores.  The basic premise of homeopathy seems like old wife's tales, but it does seem to work for us.  Your mileage may vary.



As for drink and women, seems that is an old story.  Hope things work out OK for all.
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not watching you
