TT Injured Reserve List

“Reporting for injured list.......”

“Wanna race?”

“When I was in the hospital, I was going down the hall with my crutches one afternoon and a nurse's aide walked by and asked if I wanted to race down to my room. I kicked it into high gear and slipped past her at the last minute.

The RN was down the hall and she yelled out, "You can't do that in here!" I called back, "Too late, she already lost!" I think they were glad to see me leave.”

“Back from the Doc again.
My kidney stone fragment is now hung up somewhere between kidney and bladder and has my kidney blocked.
Got to go in for another IVP test tomorrow and then decide how to get it out.”

“Man that sucks!!!!

I hope everything works out for you!

8|”

“Sorry to hear that StoveStomper. Hope it gets cleared up. You already used up all my urology puns; that's it, no more. I do feel for you though, having had a kidney stone. Mine was a tiny one that passed with no trouble, and frankly that was more than enough for me.”

“The foot, ankle, and lower leg continue to throb. I took some hydrocodone last night. I don't think it stopped hurting, but I didn't give a rat's @ss. The pain seems a little less today, but still severe. I guess it will go on like that, slight improvement each day until it gets back to normal.

Amazing. You can't drink alcohol while you're on rat poison, but you can take hydrocodone. Life gets strange sometimes.”

“Oh, the pain. My... head...feels... like its splitting.”

“Geobeet, congrats on getting the cast off! I've been wanting to tell you that for four days!!! =D”

“i am sad to announce that Im on the inujured reserve list indefinetly :( life sucks then you die!”

“Thanks Sass. It's progress, but I'm not quite ready to hit the trail yet. Being bipedal does have its benefits though.”

“Oh no, Prowler, what did you do?”

“I have a herniated L5-S1 disc in my back. L3,4,5 degenerative disc.”

“Ive known for about two weeks I just didnt want to post untill I could deal with getting blasted.”

“OUCH! Sorry to hear about that Prowler. What are your recommended courses of action? Back surgery? :(”

“Starting with Epideral treatment injections!”

“Good luck with that Prowler. My stepmother is dealing with a lot of pain with a similar issue (I don't which discs), and has gotten lots of conflicting opinions from the docs. You should get a second opinion, especially before agreeing to have surgery. A second doctor told my stepmother that lots of people have degenerated disks and have no pain. He thinks that she has one leg longer than the other, causing stress on her hip, resulting in sciatica type pain.”

“Wow, sorry to hear that Prowler. I hope some treatment works out for you man. Sending good wishes and prayers your way.”

“Thursday, Nov. 7, at 8 a.m.

Like Mr. Bill said, they are going to hurt me!

Mean ol Mr. Hand Physical Therapy Associates, led by Mr. Sluggo.”

“With so many degenerates on here Prowler, we can relate, at least there is hope for you.”

“Sorry to hear about the back, Prowler. I had an L4 problem for about a decade. It came with the job. The one thing I resisted was chairopractics. Turned out, after having a Chairo for a roommate, for a year, that it was exactly the thing I needed..... a lot. I firmly belive that all of the hiking and backpacking I do now is keeping it well.

Good luck.... I hope it won't slow ya down too much. Those young'ns are gonna keep ya runnin'”

“I had a severly herniated disc at L5-S1 51/2 years ago. I lost all use of my left leg and partial use of my right leg. I opted for a Neurosurgeon. The sooner you have the surgery (if that's what they're recommending) the more complete your recovery will be. I doubt I would have made the recovery that I did without the physical therapy. If they're recommending the PT, do it! It works. Good luck.”

“Hi, my name is Gunny and I'll be your personal therapist. You are without a doubt the sorriest excuse for a patient I've ever seen. You make me wanna puke Maggot! Oh, you broke your little leg, did you? When I get done with you you'll wish that was all you broke. Now drop down and gimme 50 if you can count that high Maggot!”

“Who knows Geo, maybe she'll be a cute. ;-)”

“maybe you'll get nurse ratchet!”

“MAN, I'm so sorry to hear about that Prowler! I've got a tricky back, but nothing like that... Yet.

This thread is like a car wreck. I don't like seeing it come back to the top, but it Always Does. When I see it, I know there's more trouble. I don't want to.... but I can't help clicking on it.

And as we get older and more decrepit, it will only get longer and longer --- more posts than the Quote of the Day and Montanapalooza combined. Okay, Now I'm depressed, LOL

Y'all stay safe out there, Ya hear?!?”

“lmao tilt, great inspirational speach.....i'm gonna go drink the kool-aid now, and just get it over with...”

“If I've got a choice, I'll go with the Electric Koolaid instead of the Jim Jones Koolaid, <G>”

“now yer talkin!”

“Hey, a couple of people have escaped, and I'm making progress. Hang in there people. The idea is to heal. Heal. Heal.

No sweat, Gunny's gonna get me goin!”

“Prowler - Go you have insurance at your work? They should pay for whatever is wrong. Go to therapy. You will love the wonderous differnce it can make - I didn't even know I was stressed until I went to PT after a car accident. Hope the situation improves.”

“You can add me to the IR for two weeks. Went to the doctor today and I apparently developed a neck injury similiar to whiplash during my hike on Saturday. What felt like a pinched nerve at first snowballed into big time pain that allows me to only move my head a couple of degrees in each direction.

Doc said no backpacking this weekend and to take it easy for two weeks.













And yes, I was prescribed muscle relaxers. And no, you can't have any.”

“Wow, just read about Prowler's injury... sorry to hear that dude, get better soon.”

“Sorry to see you on the list Artex. Get off of here ASAP!!

Well, I successfully completed a total of about 3 miles of very slow jogging last week spread over 3 workouts. It was great to be "running" again, even if painfully slow. My reward? This morning I weighed in tied for my all-time heaviest weight - yes, I gained 3 pounds. Ugh.”

“Hay can people on TT get a dicount on drugs??

sorry to hear that Artex feel better!!

you need to get better for Tom Jones singing lesson!!”

“muscle relaxers, awaaaaaa.
I like those things too much.

Looks like I'm on my way OFF the list, but not yet.
Last Thur the Doc extracted FOUR pieces of kidney stone from me and but in stent # 2. The pieces allmost passed on their on, but got stuck near the bladder. I go to get the stent out Monday Nov. 11.
The procedure is very unpleasant but maybe I can get off this list after the stent removal.”

“StoveStomper, all I have to say is OWWWWWWWWWWW...”

“.....maybe I can get off this list after the stent removal.....

AND GO BACKPACKING!!!!!

Bit--You going to the Mt Rogers trip?
I'm thinking about it, but it is a honking long drive from MS gulf coast.”

“No, I had to back out of the Mt. Rogers trip. I took an extra day for the AT trip, plus I'm going to have to take another full day possibly this week. So the Mt. Rogers trip is out.”

“I'm not coming back to this thread unless StoveStomper promises to stop using the phrase, "stent removal." Ouch!”

“Sorry to hear that Artex. Get well. Muscle relaxers are even better than hydrocodone.

Stove, you are past due to get well. Stop chewing on gravel.

Martyb, weight gain is normal after you resume activity after a long layoff. Keep working on it and it will begin to level off, then come down.

Now I have to remember that advice myself when rehab starts in earnest on Thursday, the day I report to "Gunny."”

“I used to love these muscle relaxers named Norgesic, but they stopped making them. They didn't make me tired or loopy, and you could feel the spasmed muscle start to tingle as it loosened up. The ones I get now are named Skelaxin, and they aren't much stronger than ibuprofen. Certainly not much fun.”

“Artex, what kind of hiking you doing, boy? I am glad to see that your injury does not impede your ability to post on TT.”

“Bacpac, will you go hiking please?”

“Sitting at home sniping takes less energy.”

“I have been hiking the last two weekends.”

“hay bacpac, ive got some killer drugs for you!!
gee how do you underline KILLER?

only for YOU!!”

“No thanks mapleleaf. I don't use drugs.”

“I WANT TO HIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(”

“LOL @ bacpac!”
