well guy's. . .Lorie finaly pushed me enough to call the doctor about my foot. . .been about a week since I probably broke some bones in my foot and did some nice tendon damage as well. Ive had a hard time driving my truck just to get to work. . .been lugging the engine as much as I can so I dont have to downshift and running it up to nearly 3K so I can skip gears. Last time I went to the Doc. for anything was about 10 years ago. . .and that was because I ended up in the hospital unconscious[:'(]I'll just say I woke up 3 days later and my neck has never been the same. . .if you are wondering what I was doing I'm not at liberty to say, I will say that modernmedicationsare not all it is cracked up to be[:@]


oh BTW, since I'm off topic here. . .today be Talk like a pirate day http://www.talklikeapirate.com/AARRRRRRR

 

I am with ya Drew, I hategoing to the doctoras well, every time I go I find out something is wrong with me.

Actually went recently because I thought maybe I had a sleep apnea problem, Found out it was WAY worse than I realized...Oxygen levels were dropping as low as 25% at night time. Which explained the headaches I have had for 15 years and no doctor could ever figure out what they were from!

Now have to sleep with a Darth Vader mask on at night to keep my airway open and with suplemental oxygen...Upside, I am actually sleeping at night and don't walk around in kind of a stupor all day because of no sleep!

So I guess maybe it is not ALWAYS a bad thing

 

Same here, I went last fall for a bump i had on the front side of my neck. I had it for about a year or so, figured it was an ingrown hair or something common. So the wife talks me in to going. The doc says its just a cyst(sp). So he takes a hole puncher, cuts it out, i have 3 stitchs. Being the stubborn bastard I am after 2 weeks I cut the stitches out myself,but I cant get one out. I go in the doc says ya that wasnt a cyst, its a tumor. They dont know if it cancer yet, A WEEK GOES BY. I did update my life insurance benefits during that week. Then its not cancer. So 2 months later after seeing different neck doctors they cut me open again and get the rest out. I ended up with a 3 inch scar on my neck. I like to tell people when they ask how I got it I say " From a knife fight in Tiijuania "

 

You have to take care of joints though (go ahead Mayfair I know how you'll wanna play w/ that one).

A few years ago I had an interesting night and some how broke my ankle.Itwas all swollen and funny colors so I head to the docs. But he said I didn't break anything; a spint and ice is all I get.

A month goes by and the silly thing will not stop swelling and bruising. So I call the doc - -he sends me to a specialist..a month later I'm in surgery having metal inserted into my body and a whole **** load of pieces put back together. I ended up breaking a bone in my ankle and tearing a bunch of tendons and stuff.

Those two months were horrable. You wife is right!!!! Get it fixed you big baby.

 

Im not touchin that one



my "wife" broke her ankle a year ago this month. the ER said sprained. doctor said compund fracture up tibia and fibula bones at the ankle. she now has a rod from the knee to the ankle. ended up being 3 or so fractures per leg bone.

 

 

at least you admitted it

 

your not off topic, you talked about driving your ctd!!!!

 

Maybe you'll get one of those cool adjustable casts ( the ones they drill into your bone). Then we can figure out how to mod it and make it faster.I think TST has a new box for that.

 

DANG-IT Nick , are you trying to get Drew to sling a rod in his foot.
