Good Morning Spudland.

 

It's up and down. I was so tired last night I went to bed really early. I had
to get up because my back wanted out of bed to I am up now for a while I
guess. I think I might spend some time on Zillow looking for a house. I just
hate house flippers they destroy any character that an older home has with
all the crap they try. AND I HATE vinyl siding. Give me old hard wood floors
and a basement and I can work with that.

P.S. Refinishing hard wood floors is one thing I won't DIY. I want it right the first time.

 

Good morning Idaho

 

Morning John, Sean. Sean, I've been lucky, I haven't had the flu in 12-14 years. Our hardwood floors are driving us nuts. Tons of work, and, it'll cost a fortune to refinish them.

 

What's cooking over here today?

 

Nothing cooking here Sean, how are you..?

 

I thought I had gotten over that bug that delayed the surgery and today
I don't feel that well again.

On the up side it's snowing here again.

 

It's not snowing here for a change, hope you get over the bug in a hurry. What's the surgery for..?

 

Low back. In Dec of 2006 I stepped off an unmarked loading dock in the dark and when
my foot hit I sort of twisted around and my back took the twisting not very well. I damaged
2 disks, They were to go in and remove some of what was pushed out and is now pressing
on a nerve. this will make surgery #3 but i really count it as #4 do to a related injury
indirectly caused by me trying to keep wait off that side. I did a lot of leaning on my elbows
and squashed the ulnar nerve and had to have it dug out and moved to get any relief to the
hand problems it caused.

But do you think that they would own that problem? Even with it being directly caused by the
leaning on counters. Oh well I am tired of being tired. Medical retirement SUCKS!

 

I'm avoiding surgery as much as I can, some of the guys I know who has had it look worse than me..

 

After the first time they did work on the disk I was really good till the day I got sick
and tried to puke up 3 days worth of food that was not there. Dry heaves are nasty
and even so much more when they result i undoing the work the surgeon did. Right
now most times I am at the same place I was before surgery. The Dr tole me when
I asked about it that they don't do a fusion unless the surgery has failed twice.

 

Good morning Idaho, happy Thong Thursday! Back problems are the worst.

 

Good morning Idaho..

 

We got a few inches of snow over night and I am sure that the
Seattle snowflakes are freaking out.

 

Howdy Sean. About 2 inches here overnight, saying we'll get freezing rain this afternoon.
