You got an updoot from me for the story. It was enjoyable to read, especially the eight penny pail of nails!. Hope you can get your back problems figured out and have no more issues with it. Good luck, fren.
many thanks Tynyyn, much appreciated. yeah that whole nail thing, well.. i mean you can only take so much pain and then people telling you "this time" - and it being wrong. I'm still kicking though. It ever gets me into wheelchair status I'd put a 383 stroker motor with a blower and open headers on it just to piss off my neighbors who insist on letting me know how sorry they are for me as they jog off in their $200 nike outfits. -I'm not jaded though. totally handling all this with an abundance of hope. -and vodka. cheers friend, and thanks again. I sure appreciate it. 🍻
Have you tried laying on your back and pulling your legs over your head? I had some sciatica about a month ago and my wife told me to do that stretching exercise. I rolled my eyes and thought "yea, I bet", but I did do the exercise. It seemed to help. I don't know if your back surgeries allow you that kind of motion, but maybe try to do deep knee bends also. Who knows, it might stretch out those muscles and ease some of the tighness with the nerves.
Tynyyn, I sure appreciate you sayin' what you have. My back in all honesty won't allow me any kind of movement like those. I've got to be awful careful now. It's the damnedest thing not being able to do what I once could and want to today. Highly irritating. I never was one for doctors or hospitals and over the last several years its been as if they were second homes to me. That- I do not like. I use to post here under another name and had a bit of cred built up. Maybe when I am able to post certain things again, with mod approval I'll upload the latest scan of my spine - post surgery. I honestly wish I hadn't looked at it. Sure do appreciate the kind words and help from you. Much appreciated friend. I'm still tryin' though,..and eventually may get back somewhere to what I once was.. maybe. Many thanks, cheers! 🍻
