Hey everybody i have not really posted much in the past couple weeks. The flu has been making its way through the house twice, so i have been sick as a dog lately but im feeling much better also therapy has been put on hold for a while. The spasms in my leg have gotten pretty bad. So the dr\'s decided to try botox therapy to see if that would help. Well it only had limited results but not enough of a difference to continue with more injections. And at $ 3.000 a pop not very cost effective.So next step is the possibility is the implant of a baclofen pump.So i am waiting for a appointment.
-
Well its good to hear from you. Glad you\'re feeling better. I never got the flu but the rest of my family has and I can see that it sucks.
-
Ah titan it is something you would not wish on someone you dont like
-
Why, wish it on someone you hated and now feel guilty? :p
-
No man dont do it. But heck some people have serious mean streaks
-
3000 bucks for botox? That\'s insane! :eek: Well I\'m glad you got over the flu. I hope only positive things come your way in the future.
-
He\'s been around for a while.
-
Says january 2005....
Almost time for an 1st annual anal extravaganza! :laughing:
I myself am pretty sick, terrible phlegm and boogies.. ugh....
-
you monkeys missed fred\'s rehabilatation post? for shame!
Hope things go well for you Fred, what\'s a baclofen pump btw?
-
what\'s a baclofen pump btw?

fre4d4,
welcome back and hope things goes well for you. That is really expensive though, $3,000 for botox therapy. Really wish that you get cured as fast as possible so you can walk and enjoy life again.
-
Goodluck with regaining health, Fred.
If there\'s anythig that alot ppl take for granted too easily, it\'s health.
Retaining it is not as easy as it sounds...
botox = very bad , btw...
-
Racer always knew how to be an ass or make himself look like one.
-
What are you guys freakin kidding me who am i? I have been around since january. Give me a friggin break will ya. I take baclofen in a pill form 3 times daily and im at my peak level and all it does is make me tired . The pump dispenses the medication in liquid form is a 1000 times more potent. And requires only a fraction of the amount, the pump is the size of a hockey puck. And is surgiclly placed in the abdominal area a line goes from the pump, to the spine. The medication is injected directly into the spine and goes directly to the needed area, which is in my case my leg and arm. They are both parilyzed and suffer from incredible spasms.I am hoping this will be what i need for the next stage of my recovery.
-
damn Fre4d4,
That sounds.... Not very nice. I hope all works out for you. Best of luck on the surgery.
-
Thanks i am just waiting for the dr to call with a appointment. The funny thing about the whole botox thing was for 3 grand you got 5 vials with a layer of scum on the bottom. The dr then needed to dilute it with saline, before any injection could happen.
-
Just leave a can of old food for a while and you have yourself home made botox :)
-
Yeah, he sure "owned" fred in his thread about how his rehabilitation is going.
On a side note, I swear to god, If I never see the word "owned" again it will be too soon.
I wish you kids would come up with a new word already.
-
pwned?
-
Luke except for home rehab is at a complete standstill. The wheelchair stays in the kitchen and i walk everywhere else. Owned what the frig no one owns meBe kickin somebody\'s butt if some one tried to say they owned me.And please ezcuse my stupiity but what the hell does that mean ? Completely stupid term
-
you do your sig justice, indeed.
-
Yeah, he sure "owned" fred in his thread about how his rehabilitation is going.
Yeah, no shit. Show some respect.
-
Respect from jumpman?
Thats like trying to pull a birthday cake out of an asshole... impossible.

Send a tape into Extreme Makeovers and get your self a new crib (Another slang term we need a ne. Get off your asses youngens)
I know a couple people who have shot for the show and you are in.
Just need to make some heartwarming shit up.
-
Unless he has a full family (wife, kids etc.) he wouldnt be chosen.
-
I\'m sure he could get a one eyed black kid and an asian boy with no ears to move in for a couple weeks.
-
Hey Luke im glad your mom is doing better

:laughing:
Have you noticed the rooms they make for the kids will be completley outgrown in 1-2 years?
Honestly, what fucking teenager wants to bring his girlfriend to his racecar-motif bedroom? Lame.
-
Dude, I\'m almost 28 and I\'ll take a racecar-mitif bedroom right now.
-
Luke didnt notice u have rammstein avatar. Have you heard the new single? Forgot wut its called... Is it any good?
-
A buddy of mine does art direction on the rooms. Some of those rooms are so freaking small. The beauty of the wide angle lens.
-
OK, I tried cleaning this thread up a little bit.
Show some god damn respect people, jeez.
And Fred, as always it\'s nice to hear how you\'re doing, and I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again, hope everthing works out buddy.
-
Sorry for the late reply. Hope the implant helps. Keep us informed on your progress. PRAYERS
-
Thanks Guar, my wife is calling the dr tomorrow to find out whats going on.It has been a couple weeks since i saw the dr. So maybe i will know something tomorrow
-
damn...i missed this thread....hope everything is well...and are some members bein assholes toward you?...they need to watch that s**t....one day when you make a full recovery, something tragic might happen to a member in here where they might end up in a wheelchair or worse,...it\'s ok to joke around, but not to the point where it\'s insulting or dissrespectful....
-
Hey clips how are you settling into your new home ? Sticks and stones sticks and stones.People take for granted their health, when this happened to me it made me thankful for what i still have. Air in my lungs, the gift of laughter, friends and family who love me. Regrets of course i do, but its not healthy to dwell on them. I f some people want to be insulting and hurtful, i say oh well im way more mature then that, i know who my friends are.

Don\'t know what the single is but the new album is called Rosenrot.
It\'s pretty good.
It\'s no Herzeleid, but then again, what is?
-
eh...a lil off-topic but with the disrespect to fred I just wanted to remind everyone about RACER wrestling nude in the shower with 3 other high school boys.
once a dicksucker always a dicksucker.
-
Your avatarr is creepy...
Just to make it even more off-topic... Speaking of creepy I started playing F.E.A.R. and maaaaaaaaan O man is it freaky as hell.
-
LOL i could have done without that picture in my mind joker LOL
-
lol I was trying to find the photoshopped picture with him in it for ya. But got lazy and gave up :( I resurrected the thread tho if you want a good laugh.
I feel its a chapter of PSX2central history that should not be forgotten :D :bounce:
Hope everything turns out for the best for you aswell, its good to see you in such high spirits :)

Yea it\'s rent worthy, makes you think a lil bit :)
Avvy is freaky :ohnoes:

On a side not EB Games just called me and said that my xbox360 will not be in until around Dec 22nd...
So much for the usefullness of a pre-order :rolleyes:
-
I haven\'t seen Donnie Darko yet. I like the new avy.

Stin ks you have to wait till almost christmas, but here is the silver lining. Your getting one. Glad to hear your settling in ok. Ahh renovations i remember them, always enjoyed painting and stuff. 40 degree\'s little nipply indeed. Hopefully you are south enough where you will get no snow. Unlike me western mass it is 37 degree\'s at the moment, and i know its only a matter of time before the white stuff starts falling. Oh joy
-
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
-
Same to you and yours.
-
Awesome guys, i found out my day for the baclofen trial is dec30th
-
In addition to waiting for dec30th for that medicine trial, i just got a new leg brace that i have to wear while i sleep. I have had it for two days and i can tell you it is gonna take some getting used to.
-
Good to see you are making some progress man. Tell us how those trials work out for you :)
-
Last night i felt somebody was smashing my foot with a sledgehammer, definitely going to take some getting used to with this new brace.
-
Finally the brace is not so bad, i hate getting used to new things
-
Well my appointment for the baclofen trial got rescheduled.From tomorrow to friday the 13, let you knowhow it goes

Friday the 13th? Ironic. Good luck dude :)
-
I tend not to fall into the mind set of it being a cursed day. It is nothing but a regular day, nothing more
-
Well tomorrow i go for the baclofen trial, so i will let you know how it goes. Honestly i am a little nervous. Not a big fan of lumbar puntures.
-
Good luck and god bless
-
thanks guar
-
Just got home from the baclofen trial and it worked great, took away all the spasms and revealed weak muscles underneath.Iniatially my legs were rubber. However soon i was able to walk only even slower then i usually do. Only part i did not like was the lumbar punture, hurt like a bastard. Anyway im gona have the surgery for the pump surery i think feb14, then back to therapy.
-
Kick ass Fred. Sounds like you\'ve come a long way.
-Dan
-
Not to toot my own horn, buti have gone from getting out of the wheelchair where they said i would never walk again. Plus also learned how to talk , eat, dress myself. It really has been a tough two years. I HAVE A ADOPTED A PHrase which incrediblly rings true. Never, never,never quit, spoken by winston churchill. I would rather try and fail, then to never try at all. Words i have lived my entire life,people telling me what i can and can not do.I THEN GET P\'OD and figure out a way to do what ever it is just to spite them. Dont ever let anybody stand on the train tracks an stop you. I love the movie Major league 2 There is a acene, where the opposing team is at bat, and the catcher says, mr so and so your a great ballplayer. But your standing on the tracks and the train is coming through butthead.
-
Well my surgery is this tuesday the 21st at 7.39 so i have to be there at 6am for that baclofen pump. I am not a big fan of surgery , but it is necassary at times

I don\'t think too many of us like surgery. Except maybe Swifdi when he had his sex change operation. Other than that, no. Glad to hear you are making more progress. Keep us updated man :)
-
Good luck buddy.
-
Found out i dont need to be at the hospital till 8.30 am so i can sleep a little longer.I will let you know how it went when i get home wednesday.

Sleep is always good. Good luck. Can\'t wait to hear from you :)

Hi everyone im home and resting, a little sore. The procedure went well but they wanted to keep me one night to watch me. Did not get up to my room till 6pm, and my roommate was sick as a dog. Felt sorry for him, almost like he has the flu and a massive migraine, but they did not think so. I got home and went to bed at 5.30 and slept till 10 this morning. . They inserted the pumpin a spot just below my ribs on the right side, plus there is a incision on my spine area where they had to thread the cathetur. But things are good my friends im already walking and i have a new cane that looks like a steppladder, so i guess im ready to paint LOL.
-
Rock on, bro. WTF is this pump thingy, did I miss something?
-
It is a baclofen pump, it dispenses the med directly to my spine. Tking away the spasms. There is a a cathetur that goes from the pump to my spine, im trying to figure out how to turn the tv on with it. But thus far no such luck. So far the things working great.They were origionally made for people with ms, but found they work great with stroke patients.
-
You\'re really coming along. Pretty impressive, actually. Keep it up.
Sucks about the incisions and all that, but at least it\'s working.
-Dan
-
Pump works great but i cant seem to kick the flu i brought home with me, and that my friends is misery
-
just kicked a doozy...(sort of)
keeperchinnup.
-
Ah my friends i hope this is the beginning of some level ground. Having my ers looked at, they have been a tad sore as of late
-
Ah, i am finally beginning to return to the living, yikes what a whopper this flu was. Truly sucked, sad thing is last month when i went for the baclofen trial i came home sick from that as well, go figure. This pump is working awesome, though learning to walk is atotal chore. My leg feels like it is at least 100 punds.
-
I am definitely feeling like my old self, still a tad tired so im resting.
-
Hey everybody the flu is now past.I am feeling better, but i have a infection on the incision on my back, so they have me on antibiotics for that. Other then that im just peachy
-
ouch infection...the word makes me cringe
-
Brings no joy to me either. And for some reason i am not feeling that well, have had my head in a bucket several times but nada.Ohi hope im not getting the flu back cause that wouldtruly suck
-
Cool. Is it one of those oozing type infections? Like in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
and yes... I finally added the missing N in the title.
That\'s been bugging the shit out of me for 4 months. I just figured the thread would die and I\'d never notice again.
-
Actually it is, they got me on antibiotics for this
-
Sweet... You can put some on crackers and make a nice little treat for the family.
-
Ah my friend you are sick, what are you thinking homemade salsa.
Thats ill
-
Oh yeah.. Come on, you me. We could make it big... Let\'s bottle that stuff.
btw, you have enough posts to get an avatar....
-
Hey im all for bsines oppurtunities. But i dont think yowant to get screwed by the authorities. Just look at the east coast with those guys who got nabbed for selling body parts. So tell me how can i get my own avator
-
Oh yippee im feeling sick again and running a temp. Going to hit the pillow very shortly
-
Find something you like. Upload it here and someone will resize it for you. Then you go to your user settings and upload the pic. Actually just find a pic and I can do that for you.

Get the doc to bottle that shit. We\'ll be rich!!!
-
Ah vid you are just to much lol. Well was admitted friday afternoon to hospital at 3pm.Dr took one look and said your going to surgery. Pump was removed at 10.30 pm, area was just full of of puss as was my back. Turnsout the infection was mrsa which is a staph infectionresistantant to most antibiotics. So they have me on the proper antibiotics which i will be on via iv twice a day for twoweeks to a month. Then i have to wait 8 to 12 weeks before i can get another pump, which i will more than likely do.
-
good to finally be home, for reall homemade cooking, hospital food was cruel and unusual punishmemement
-
What\'s it from? Are they bed sores from sitting around?
oh and.
:nopics:
-
what is this, ogrish?
hope you beat the shit outta them bacteriums.
-
Well they got me on some pretty intense iv meds. Had to go back in for more emergency surgery on thursday afternoon. The infection seemed to travel a a bit, so they wnted to go in and clean it out. Came home today at 2pm still very sore.
-
The iv meds seem to be working pretty good. Maria has to draw my blood every couple days which is no big deal. They have had to change the strength of the dosage 4 times. Kind of a pain but as long as it works thats all that matters i suppose.
-
Iv meds are working prety good though the dosage is constantly being changed, seems every other day the medical truck shows up with a new box of meds. I cant wait till its all over.
-
IV meds are working unfortunately think i have caught a cold so im a little under the weather today.
-
Doing pretty good though these meds keep me running to the bathroom. No puking, just everything goes right through me. Hey i guess as long as the staph infection is taken care of the runs are a small price to pay.
-
good to hear your doing well
-
If you get a minifridge, a tv and a small bed, you never have to leave the bathroom :p
-
Forget the small bed i like sleeping in my kingsize bed tv is covered LOL titan your to much man.Got all the staples and stitches out today, so now i dont feel like frankensteins monster. Also looking like i only have two weeks of iv meds left. Then i have to wait 8 to 12 weeks before they can determine whether the staph infection is totally gone.
-
Hey the nurse just called and said my iv treatment is done, but im wondering if they should wait and leave the line intill they make sure the infection is gone.
-
They are going to leave the iv line in till they confirm the infection is gone. Otherwise i have to get another one, for more antibiotics.
-
Can not seem to stay on my feet, i keep falling.Fell upstairs in the hallway smacked my headpretty good, no blood. But i did break the railing
-

Sounds like weekends for me ;) Is this because of the meds?
-
Oh shut up Titan we went to Church fundraiser all last weekend.
-
Oh shut up Titan we went to Church fundraiser all last weekend.
But I dont\' believe in God :(
-
Sorry titan , you do not believe.However i am happy to say i do.And he is the answer to all my problems.
-
*waits for the thread to turn into ANOTHER religious debate*
-
I dont know if this is withdrawl symtoms, but my ears were hurting and i suddenlly got dizzy, today i have no headache but the rest of my body is pretty darn sore. Trying to stay out of trouble with maria, trouble is she is pretty upset with me. I spilled the urinal all over my self around 4.45 this morning. So i guess im kinda in the dog house today.
-
Viper what the hell you talking about
-
what the hell are you talking about....
countless times we\'ve taken non-religious threads and turned them into debates.
-
Well i am not, i have never pushed my beliefs in God on anybody. Debates nope not me.
-
Maria, was just going through old bills and found the statement from child suport that my years of paying were indeed over. Ok no big deal really, but i think its worth another YIPPEE
-
Sorry titan , you do not believe.However i am happy to say i do.And he is the answer to all my problems.
I\'m not sorry I don\'t believe. Its my choice and I just feel he doesn\'t exist based on my beliefs. No biggie except to my mom.
-
Your right my friend your choice, thats why we were given free choice. Why is it a biggie to your mom.
-
my dad just got out of the hospital. He had an infection..streptococcus something.... they didn\'t know where... thought it was around his hip replacement...oh yeah, he\'s 55. he\'s had 3 heart attacks, and a trple bypass. also a hip replacement (obviously) .. all from:
smoking.
don\'t do it kids...
-
Oh boy sounds like a staph infection, is it mrsa chizzy. That is what i got from the baclofen pump.It goes right to the weakest part of the body, or at least in my case directly to any thing, strange like a baclofen pump or say the material for a hip replacement.
-
Your right my friend your choice, thats why we were given free choice. Why is it a biggie to your mom.
She is extremely religious. I just got home from a diner where I ate with a very close friend of mine. I had a cheeseburger (forgot about the whole friday thing). My mom asked if I was hungry and I said no I just ate. When she asked, I said a cheeseburger. Now I\'m not allowed to go to church on easter, lol. Doesn\'t bother me. So I got a whole speech about beliefs and stuff and she said I\'m a mockery of the Roman Catholic religion and by me going, I\'m just insulting everything she believes in.
-
Not allowed to go on easter what a bunch of bunk,listen my friend who says you have to go to the same church as her or even the same service.
-
Ahhh, yes, of course the perfect motivation to attend church... spite.
Only go to church if you actually want to, else there\'s no point. That said, if you *do* want to attend church, nobody can really stop you.
-
I was washing my car the next dday and she was saying when we were going to church and I said "I thought I wasn\'t going". That went over well. That was wierd. I\'m not allowed to go then she gets upset when I don\'t go. Well I went to be with my family.
-

im not a follower but i went with my family anyway. a) theres better battles to be fought then going to an hour of a place that you may not agree with, but you can agree with their principles (on paper at least..we all know how people can be) b) like titan said, sometimes you dont do everything for YOU.
as for your super religious mom, titan, i dont have any advice. My moms religious and would like me to go to church but shes doesnt go crazy about it. If it were me, id go through the motions of church once a year and not bother argueing about it. Then again i have a different relationship with my mom so..
-
Hate to say it, but i might think about findinding a place more to your liking,or just deal with it. And go to make your mother happy
-
What a beautiful day, though my chair is nowhere to be found so i cant go out side. O well maybe tomorrow.
-
Hate to say it, but i might think about findinding a place more to your liking,or just deal with it. And go to make your mother happy
Yeah but I don\'t believe in God. I\'m an atheist and very open about it. I\'m not part of a religion, hence why I don\'t go to church :)
-
I used to be just like you. Then he did a work in my heart, that caused me to do the only thing available. Believe in complete miracles
-
I completely respect that.
-
if god really exist, then he shouldn\'t force people to believe in him, except that to let people live freely just as long as they don\'t hurt themselves or other.
so, if god does really exist and he punish people simply because they don\'t believe in him. Then that\'s lame. As long as they don\'t do anything mean or cruel or whatever, why punish them? it\'s not a crime if you don\'t go to church, just as long as you have a good heart. why bother going to church? Just so you can "believe" in him and donate money to earn his trust? what kind of god is that?
Nevermind...hopefully i didn\'t say anything bad...*me runs and hide*

who said anything about forcing you to believe in him?..you have your own free will to believe in him,..it\'s the people or extremists that try to force it on you...for those that do not believe in him, but have a good heart, i believe that they will know the truth when the time is right,..that\'s just what i think tho...i go to church,..but not because i\'m bein forced, but because i want to go and try to learn more about him...but you can\'t put all of your faith into the preist,..it kills me how people are devastated when they find out the preacher is gay,..or he\'s done something unheard of,...these people are only human,...and i don\'t understand why so many follow the pope like he\'s sometype of prophet...people actually pass out when they meet him :rolleyes:
but i guess the best way to learn about him is not to let somebody else tell you,..just grab a bible and read it from front to back...
-

i hope you are being sarcastic there on that last line. As if the bible wasn\'t written by human beings...
-
i hope you are being sarcastic there on that last line. As if the bible wasn\'t written by human beings...
of course it was written buy human beings,...but the bible just isn\'t studied buy ONE group of people, it\'s known and read by people of all ethnic groups so chances of one group corrupting the book itself remains very small,...even tho the bible has been re-written many times by having various versions(many are just updated so that we can comprehend the reading better) for the most part the bible has remained the same for hundreds of years now.
-
There have also been numerous mistranslations too.
-
Yes there have been many translations, you just need to find the one that is right for you. I have a niv which i use and just happens to be the first bible i have ever had, i also have a king james version and most recently picked up the nasb, which is as close to the original langauge as you can get. So the gist of it is this find the version, which works best for you.
-
There have also been numerous mistranslations too.
The original language is unchanged. There are scholars that copy the original letter-by-letter. If it\'s one letter off, they throw the entire copy away. It hasn\'t been re-written a thousand times if that\'s what you\'re implying. The original remains unchanged.
-
im not implying anything, i said simply find a version which works for you jeepers

No I mean its been mistranslated from the original language to say French, English, etc.
-

It isn\'t "mistranslated" to some horrible proportion. It is just not accurately translated in that...there are some words in Greek and Hebrew that there aren\'t any English words for. Which is why it\'s good to reference both.

Yeah, that would be a mistranslation. I\'m not saying the entire bible has been mistranslated. I\'m saying there are some mistranlsations like words and shit. It happens in all literature. I\'m not saying I don\'t believe in it because of that. I think one example is the Red Sea. It was mistranslated from the Hebrew which was supposed to be the Reed Sea. I dunno, something to google.
EDIT: Here is something from wikipedia
There is also speculation that the name Red Sea came from a mistranslation of what should have been the Reed Sea in the Biblical story of the Exodus. The Sea of Reeds (in Hebrew Yâm-Sûph) is often mistranslated as the "Red Sea".

Believe it if you want.

Yeah, that would be a mistranslation. I\'m not saying the entire bible has been mistranslated. I\'m saying there are some mistranlsations like words and shit. It happens in all literature. I\'m not saying I don\'t believe in it because of that. I think one example is the Red Sea. It was mistranslated from the Hebrew which was supposed to be the Reed Sea. I dunno, something to google.
Which is why it\'s always good to reference the original text. The Old Testament is in Hebrew and the New Testament is in Greek.

I know. I was just saying when translating it to other languages is where you could run into some potential problems.
-
Evi is right good to have a cross refernce for the langauge, my kjv is a zodiahties, which has a excellent cross reference in the back. Really is a awesome bible.

I never meant for this thread to turn into a religious, debate center. Was meant to be a thread of how i am recuperating, of which im doing prettygood .Had a cold this past weekend but im feeling much better. I finally decided on a avatar, use it for my desktop. I am very much into cars. How do you guys like it
-
Not bad. I still haven\'t picked an avatar, myself.
Your post count is 666. Better hurry up and reply.
And I\'m glad you\'re over the cold. I\'d say you\'re due for a healthy weekend already.

that\'s odd, considering the nature of this thread
-
Oh jeepers, never noticed the thread count . Ok im a posting fool.
-
Congrats on the avy. I didn\'t get mine until 1500 back in the day (i think that\'s what it was). Back then, if you got an avatar at 500, it froze your member status and star count. I wanted to be a wise member with 5 stars so I waited it out. But I guess now it doesn\'t matter, lol :)
-
Thanks titan, i could not decide so i figured i would try this one. Its what i use for my desktop, i may play around a little bit and see if there is anything else i like better.
-
Sweet avy, fre4d4. I didn\'t even recognize ya for a minute. :p
-
fre4d4, atleast now you could change it whenever you wanted. Back in the day, we had to bug mm to change it and he would only change it for sexual favors :69:
-
LOL I am not that vain, consider the thread changed. I am doing pretty good, though these spasms are driving me insane.
-
Well it seems the spasms have broken my brace again.
-
:eek:
That sucks, man. How much does a brace cost? Or...how much does it cost YOU?
-
Thankfully only costs me with the co-pay about $25.00. The brace costs $ 3,000 .So now i need new locks for this thing. Drives me crazy, i hate being in a constant case of discomfort. I cant wait for june to come.
-
Yep i was right, maria just got home from the brace clinic. And the locks are totally gone, so now they have to order new ones.
-
Now to top it off, my laptop is not working correctly. So how for repairs it goes, going to be without it for a couple of days.
-
How old is your laptop?

Always comes in threes...

Jumpman, what was that last post
He\'s saying you should go make a journal to talk about what\'s going on in your life.
-
Wow , this is not the first time i have heard this.
My second oldest daughter kayla has been questioning me as of late. She wants to know all about my life, the good and the bad. Kind of weird talking to her about the stupid mistakes her dad has made. Though i dont want her to make the same ones
-
what are some of these mistakes don\'t leave us hanging!
-
Ah man you are so dam bad
From being unfathful to my then wife to shopplifting and many things in between
-
Well dr\'s said they dont see a infection in my ears, but my sinuses are a little funky. And thats what they think is causing the discomfort in my ears
-
Ok just got my laptop back. And im very happy
-
YAY! You can download porn again :D
-
I have a feeling that was the problem.

I have a feeling that was the problem.
:rofl: True that. Unfortunately porn carries with it viruses and spyware.

Titan if that ain\'t the truth,
-
I hope the parts for the brace come in for monday, these spasms are driving me nuts. Cause now i feel like somebody drop kicked me in the nutz
-
Just found out the parts are friggin backordered, now im starting to get po\'d
-
As if the parts being backordered is\'nt bad enough, i fell today .Now my friggin hip is killing me.
-
^I was saying that I saw peoples sigs that were OVER 20 kb so I thought it was okay
too...
I fell once or twice after my surgery. Luckily, I landed on my ass and not my leg.
-
Thank you for your concern,. When i was able to finaly get upstairs, i slid off the bed ont the platform i have there. Got a prytty good sting from that, trouble is my entire left side does not work. Yes you heard me correct, arm and leg do not work.So when i fall, im on the floor for a while. As you can probably imagine i t can be a bit aggravating at times..If i fall i can not just bounce right back. My friends i t is a work in progress
-
Maria, dropped the brace off this morning. So finally, its getting fixed. So know all i need to do is wait for the end of june to get another pump put in.
-
Ok my brace is fixed, now i just gotta wait till the end of june.
-
Maria and i are taking off for a couple days after service tomorrow. Mainly to see my daughters before they move to florida, getting a little depressed here.
-
Maria and i just came back from our little trip to Scituate, had a awesome time ate lobster and steamers every night. And i saw my kids, before they move to florida, on sunday.

You want awesome oceans, come to the Jersey Shore. Just don\'t go to Seaside. There\'s a lot of drunk high school and college kids. Its fun when you\'re one of them (went for my prom weekend :) ) but I doubt you\'ll like it. I\'m hopefully gonna be able to go in on a house or something for a weekend with a few friends. Point Pleasant is where I go. Its pretty nice. Very busy but nice. They have fireworks every thursday I believe. They also have a movie night (they did last year. Went with my ex so I didn\'t pay much attention to the movie ;) ). I love Jersey :)
-
Why would anyone go with their ex. Actually the only reason we only go across the state besides for a few relaxing days was also to see my kids and my aunt. Now with my kids going to florida, i have two sisters and my aunt to see.
-

Well we were dating at the time.

I never went to LBI but I wouldn\'t want a quiet beach. I\'d want a beach where its happening, especially at night. That\'s what I like about seaside. There\'s plenty of places to drink :fro:

That\'s kinda who I am now, lol. But my philosophy is I better live this up now, you know? I\'m 19 and this isn\'t gonna last forever. I have until the end of college and maybe the summer after college until I move on with my life. I\'m gonna wake up with a wife, 3 kids (please god not three though, lol) and a minivan thinking to myself how the hell this happened. Then my party days are over. I\'d like to live it up so I have no regrets after I get married. Even after college, I\'m going to flight training to start my career as a commercial airline pilot then military training after that (well after I get a job). Once I enter training, its the end of my college party days. I have one more shot to be a kid, may as well live it up so I have no regrets of making it boring later on.

In high school i partied like my days were numbered. But now im 46 and i have to be careful with all the meds i take now. I have\\ occassional ber i just have to be careful, im not much for puking .

Gotcha man ;) I\'m not much for puking either, especially if its in my own place. Funnier if its in someone else\'s.

Ienjoy a nice cold beer on occassion,i just cant go crazy.When i was in high school i could sit down and down half a caser no trouble.But now i am on many meds since the stroke, and they could cause trouble if i go crazy so. One beer at a time for me then soda or ice tea.

Should here any day about the next surgery
