Need to go to Kaiser for my monthly blood draw today

The Kaiser Lab is very cool, as the results are available
online in less than 2 hours, even historical graphs, in-depth explanations, etc.

I'm a data junkie so I get off on technical progress

although there is anxiety over the results

Good luck Senior...I hate having blood drawn.My last shoulder surgery,on april 7th of this year,a blood drawer did a fab job on me.Then it came time for the RN's to start my IV.8 pokes later the anesthesia guy got it started.I was black and blue for a few weeks cause of this.I hope you guys/gals don't mind me posting on here every day x 2 or 3? This is a cool place for me to talk to like minded adults.All I have around me are rec users who abuse med user(S).Rainy and chilly here again today.I wanted to get some of my "honey do" list done but seeing as how its raining,the lawn is safe.I need to go straighten out my growroom and get my pails loaded with ProMix and the fine rock I put into bottom of my 5 gallon pails/buckets.Fire up my 1000 and 400 watters and floros and sweep the crumbs off the floor and get the fans and curtains up.Then germ the beans.I can't wait as it will give me something positive to do.However I will be scared to death from then till harvest.And I mean scared to death.I start not sleeping over it a week or 2 from harvest.I get squirrley as heck and up all night even worse than w/my chronic insomnia.What I wouldnt do for 5 straight hours with no dogs or kids or bathroom urges waking me up.Peace and have a great day! BigD

[bigdaddyc9]

I too prick my fingers 24/7 and found that this loiton heals me up pretty good.Cannot remember where I found it.I'll ask the Mrs. and if she remembers,I'll post it.Good news today,My Mom gained 4lbs in 2weeks of eating my cooking! Yee haw BigD

That's so great to hear BD keep making them cookies I sure wish we had smellavision bro

I will keep watching BD for that lotion my wife is in the medical field so she can find out to were to get some, I just tap my little springy thingy and pop my finger burst with blood drops and their so tender i sometimes can't do it but check it anyways.

My prayers will add your mother BD and my heart goes out to you and her so she can get healthy and enjoy life.

It just enrages me that so many 'outlaw med users' are living in fear just b/c of some outdated laws!!
People with more than enough stress and fear on their proverbial 'plates' already, must also deal with condition-worsening-stress, constantly fearing prosecution due to our antiquated laws! Not to mention those growing! Gurrr!!
All of you, deserve safe, consistent access to quality medicine!! But, I know I don't need to tell you guys that, lol.

Anyway, Best Wishes to you, BigDaddy, for a safe run and bountiful harvest!!
I am curious, what kind of beans are you gonna pop??
I'm very interested in Hemp Oil as well, I've read some incredible things about it, and I've been thinking about ordering some...

Good Luck with your blood work Senior Buzz!

On another note:
I was thinking last night, perhaps some of you might enjoy getting together in the chat room every once in a while?
Sometimes it's nice to talk in 'real time'. I know I would enjoy it and I would definitely make an effort to be there; with bells on!
I hope a few of you will at least consider it...
Even if you type slowly, make lots of typos and your fingers/wrists hurt- like me, we'd all be understanding of that.
We might even be able to make our own temporary room...
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it; think about it!


I hope this finds all of you doing alright!!
Hang tough everybody!!

My name is Darryl and I have been in chronic pain for the last 3 yrs. I have 3 badly detiorated discs with a slight tear in one. I also beleive I have a pinched nerve. I have terrible sciatica down my right leg. And just in the last month have been going numb on me when standing and trying to cook or something like that. I just started taking methadone 10 mg. 3 in the morn 2 at noon and 3 at night and doesnt seem to help. We just started on it so have to find the right doseage. I hate it. No relief wake up 10 times a night because no matter what way i lie its not comfortable and still hurts.I lost my insurance before i could have anything major done so now im stuck taking pills that dont work.

Im trying to make 50 posts. So I grow mj to mainly make me be able to eat and control the nausea from the medicine. I hate the feeling they give but am not anywhere near the dose I need to kill the pain. Have me a nice garden about 10x20 with 10 1000s hps. run about 50 to 70 at a time, and sell it to the mj clubs in cali. I think I would probably be all bones if I didnt have my mj. I never weighed more then 140 pounds in my whole life lol, so just imagine if I couldnt eat. well thx for listening to my rants. I live alone so sometimes babble when I have something to say and a place to do it. lmao.

Today when I woke up I had the "expanding object" type pain in my right knee

I'm quite familiar with that type of pain in my left knee, But mine occurs mostly when I'm trying to get to sleep.

first learn how to stretch very slowly

you need to be working on your lower back, hips, etc.

tune those muscles a little

take a yoga class, if you don't

 

[DevilsReject]

I know that feeling after 3 surgeries 10 hours each one all in 9 days with my back and i had extensive spinal & back physical therapy for 4 straight months then a year later 4 months aqua therapy for 4 more months, it is painful and sucks.

AOL, Twitter, and a few other sites are having lots of problems. having a hell of time getting into mail on AOL

which means I can't check my blood results

oh well..

it's been a hell of a journey

wanted to mention that one of the stops, on my journey, since my neck took over my life 28 years ago, was at a therapy clinic, for about 6 months in 1992, working with one of Moshe Feldenkrais's students.

makes a believer out of you

all as a result of getting rear-ended at 50 mph,
while sitting stopped in traffic,
during the rush to get home from work
that takes place daily in the Silicon Valley.

however, due to extensive practice of meditation
and being nervous about my neck because of the erratic driving
that was taking place all around me,

looking in my rear-view mirror, I saw the light change
on the traffic behind me, and saw the race as it happened,
I was especially aware of the driver of the car in my lane
and soon realized he didn't have any idea I was there.

he looked straight ahead and got wide-eyed, just about the same time
that I had finished taking a deep breath and dropped into deep relaxation
literally saved my neck, and got me six months of needed therapy

oops, forgot to mention, the car in front of me, was a brand-spanking new
top of the line Mercdees

she hit the car in front of her

That a nice setup darman. We are all here to help I dont have any Insurance as well. I take 40mg of Oxy with Dilaudid as a break through pain med. I have to pay for all of this so I look for the best pain meds I can get within my budget. I have probably the largest price list of pain meds then anyone lol.


Methadone is a synthetic opiate. This did not work for me either. alot of trial to find what works
