Well after my 24 hour duty I had the privelage of sleeping for an hour and a half then going to the orthopedic office and gettting put under and recieved the first of three cortizone shots in my lower spine. And oh yes I am on Lortab right now so if this post heads in a crazy direction you will know why... I am so rpoud of my self for MAKING IT THROUGH THE 24 HOURS WITHOUT VISITING HERE

bUT AS YOU CAN SEE i GOT MY FIX AGAIN!! I was hoping to have the nurses take some pics but that didnt happen maybe next time!!! If I get them I will post them-Jason

Mt Pleasent???

How far are you away from the GA Border??? I am about 2 hours away If you are close maybe we can arrange a shooting Time????? Let me know!!!

 

[josh]

I'm as far east as you can get without swimming in the ocean. If you ever wanted to meet up for a shoot I'd have no problem traveling, though. I'll always travel for a good cause(read: shooting, drinking, etc.)

I'd guess I'm probably around the same - 2 hours away from GA border - perhaps less.

Sounds like one hell of a 24 hr. span to me.....lol Sounds like your feeling pretty damn good considering.....lmao



Now get some rest my friend!

 

[josh]

I hope you're not talking about tomorrow - I'm flying around 2:00. After tomorrow I'm pretty much game for whenever/wherever though.





But just send me a PM, and we'll go shoot sometime. We need to organize a GA/SC/NC/FL MP-pistol meet. 8)

They are putting you under for a epidural cortisone injection? I've had long term back problems (that's why I'm retired) and have had the series of epidural, all they gave me was a local, I had a real good anesthesiologist to do mine, the only thing that hurt was the local anesthetic shots, after that I just did what he told me to do.

 

[101Combat Vet]

oh yes

My back problems as follows... no fluid in my l1 disc, Low disc space l1-l2 discs. Herniated disc l3, l4, l5 discs. and compression fracture in the middle of my back.. The only reason I did the corizone shot was because they knocked me out I was very hesitant but hey there is less room for error if I am passed out right. right now it is very uncomfortable to do anything but that is what the lortab is for..

OK, top this, I have more Titanium than the space shuttle and still running around with my hair on fire in the woods, so quite your belly aching... :wink: Since I have several fused disc's my epidural cortisone injection or RAZC start at my tailbone, creep through spinal channel to each area to be injected. I will scan my latest x-rays, I watch the whole thing on the x-ray monitor. Its pretty neat and for only a local, it can be a bit painful, but hey grown men dont cry, they just shoot M&P's...



My work, put up or shut up...

Re: hmmm

Most people say that after I show the scars or explain myself... I take 325mg of Percocet 1-3 times a day and 325mg of Ultracet 3-6 times daily for nearly 2.5 years. I have been diagnosed as having Failed Back Syndrome, or surgery failure for back pain. I fought to remain in the Army for the last 2 years with Medical Boards and luckily I will be able to retire this fall... But, as my surgeon states, "its not retirement that you should worry about, its your future"... So a word to wise, take care of your back, it will take care of you...

Dude, Morgan, your freakin' spine is on the ground nobody can top that.

 

[Walker]

Its amazing how I can do that, :wink: but to be honest I am sort of worthless without my spine... So, that's why I only take it out for photo's

and 350lbs charging gorillas.
