Fat chance getting anyone to believe that.   

Next thing is you'll accuse me of being an aviaphile.

I have to muster up some suitable surprises for the urchins birthday tommorrow,  so  i am here for inspiration. 

[odeon]

Define "suitable".

[bodie]

In this case,  fun and wholesome, for a six year old.

All idea's welcome

[odeon]

Wholesome? Here? Srsly?

[bodie]

Just came from the hospital an hour ago.

I fell on Thursday and I thought I was OK, just bruised. Yesterday,during the night, the pain I was feeling really seemed to become unmanageable.

I tried for hours to find a way to sleep.  Finally, I had to admit that being off pain meds was not working.  I was fine for a week, until I fell on a metal folding chair.

At two AM, I went to the emergency room and sat to wait my turn after a gunshot and a major car accident. Finally, around five AM, I had my turn at one of the X-Ray machines.

They confirmed that I broke two of my lower ribs when I fell.

I have a center torso brace I will have to wear for a month or so. 

I really did not need this major setback in my recovery from hip surgery.

You could have simply modified your post.
I like it better the way you did it though, since I'm an old post whore.

  Yes, I prefer to edit my posts immediately, before the  "last edited at such-and-such time" notation
   would appear.  I think that notation makes the post look less impresive.  Also, I like to postwhore. 

i just plussed you, but would again.  Us post whores have got to show each other support.

dawg, I'm sorry for your pain.

Can you exist with pain medications, or do you need to quit?

Yeah, I have used them almost constantly - I have for over three years now (so, yeah, I need to be off them and finally eliminate the fog), getting through physical therapy, trying the muscle development route to avoid surgery. It did not work. I still had to have both my hips replaced (almost exactly a year apart), due to previous injuries. Doc showed in the X-Rays that my right hip had been fractured four times during my life and I kept on walking on it, despite the pain.


I was on the home base run after this last procedure, getting off the meds, finally. Walking upright like a healthy man again, barely using the cane, and mostly, only in the mornings!

 Falling onto a metal folding chair and fracturing two of my lower ribs was NOT a part of the plan.

I'm rooting for you.
Three years means your probably addicted to them.  I've had friends who have struggled through this addiction. Doable, but a difficult road.

DirtDawg, may I give you a  ?  Things usually seem to go from bad to worse.  Sorry everything is piling on you.r
