The other people around him. The ones the druggie was scaring the shit out of. Those people. Penny didn't just walk up to some random person and decide to put them in a choke hold.
Did you also miss that that poor needs help criminal had been arrested numerous times prior for assaulting people? Yep, poor lil dude - maybe if the idiot criminal system there had done their job and imprisoned him for one of those crimes, he might have gotten some "help".
Great to see you back u/ashlanddog !!! Missed you and your sense of humor π Hope the break helped
Years ago, I got sucked into pain MGMT. In 80's there weren't too many options besides pain meds. 12 years ago, I had enough and stopped. I can take pain meds now, I just keep close watch, my primary is aware and I have put the majority of the other crap I was taking on the "I'm allergic" list. Your mind DOES deal with pain but it takes a while.
Yeah they are a bunch of IDIOTS at USPS. The most recent change here is confounding and illogical. They now ship to the regional center in NOLA. Instead of then shipping to local post offices, they ship it 45 min to the west - then take DAYS to do whatever and then must drive it back towards NOLA a good 25 min. It wastes gas and time. It's frustrating as hell.
If I could go back to 1987? No
I had no choice on the last one. Deterioration from the first three caused issues. I would completely lose my right leg. Like it wasn't even there. I put it off for a year but had to cave finally.
I had a multi level lumbar fusion in 2023. My back x-ray looks just like his. 4 screws, rods, a metal cage and bone graft. It was in no way, shape or form as painful as the first fusion I had (in exact same spot) in 1989. I now have nerve damage down my left leg from the last surgery - I have had permanent nerve damage down my right leg from the first 3 lumbar surgeries I had in 87, 89 and 93. Anyone who thinks they'll come out after a back surgery with 100% recovery - like they didn't have a spinal injury - is not intelligent. Best you can hope for is improvement. I've lived with chronic pain for 35+ years and been denied some care for dumb ass reasons. It still not an excuse to go kill someone.
Lol I wonder if they think we can't tell?
