How I Am Feeling

This is my vent Part 2. Nobody needs to reply.

I have been home a week now. I only have a slight bit of surgery pain now and a fair bit of sciatic pain down my right leg. Sometimes it feels like its cramping. But this is all meant to be normal. Apparently, as they only moved things out of the way to approach the spine, they squished it all together. So there were bundles of nerves and muscles all held out of the way for an hour or so. Plus the fact that they have stretched my body an inch in height, my body is still adjusting. But other than that I feel great and want to go back to doing other things.

Being pig headed, I want it to be fixed now. I have been off the Endone since Tuesday, and have been trying to wean myself of the Codine. Bad move. I should take the drugs while they are offering. Woke up at 5 in the worst sort of pain out and its only now just starting to go away.

When you break a bone, normally you have a cast on for six weeks while it knits. Not seeing this is hard. I think I am normal and there is a part of my brain saying, 'get up you lazy bastard and help'. Where as what I am meant to be doing is resting. Do you know how boring and depressing that is.

Also, watching Margaret under the pump, working till she is exhausted, is not cool.

Margaret says that if I don't just sit back and recover, she is going to kick me in the nuts. Apparently it is Alan's cure for everything. lmao.
 
QLD and Anthony,

i think a few vets could learn from a good kick in the nuts and I am one of them Only alot of soldierx do not have nuts theres days...oh well a good kick in the arse then would do I suspect,.. I am glad you are expereincing less pain now. I hope it continues. I also hope my surgery works ouut. Frankly it has been on my mind more than anything else recently, which is why I may not have cared what I was writing over the last few days.

Anyway, I am glad you are feeling better as I am too except from the big hole in my leg but other than that it sounds like we will be both ready for Bridge Day here which is when most of the rest of the public freebases off the New River Gorge bridge or they just do a tandem jump or a bungie Jump. I would like to have you there and have you jump with me.
 
and jumping with me is sort of an honor because I wont just jump with anyone.....only people I like and who I know are honest people and you are definitely that even if I disagree with your diagnosis the other day/.
Plus I have jump wings fron Two Governments...both German Jumpw Wings as well as USA And I have indonsinesian wings as well but I have no oifficial right from the governments to wear their wings like I do from the German Government.

Anyway all I am really trying to say with all the rhetoric and BS is that I am sorry for getting so mad over a few poeple asking my name...I really dso not care who knows it but if my identity getss stolen I will know the first place to start looking..... And I would jump with you any day of the week.
 
Are you a Deutschlander femalevet? I was stationed in Germany for two years and miss it dearly. I don't know about the rest of Germany, but Western Germany is sooo green.
 
Old - I'm happy to hear you're doing better - and wow you're taller now, thats an achievement most guys can't claim unless they don a pair of heels !

Seriously though - its nice to hear good news and our prayers are working cuz you are on the mend... now dont drive your wife crazy - Listen to her !!
 
She is not my wife yet. She has a year actually 11 months to get out of it, but as she says, 'Why would I want to'.
Nah, all is good, thanks for all the support.

Well every body is venting , so im going to have a go. Went to the skin cancer clinic today for Crystalite theraphy, they cover your face in this lotion ,then bandage your face like a mummy, which stays on for 1 & 1/2 hours , so i walked around town tying to frighten as many people as i could, even got kicked out of the service station as they had been robbed at gun point three days ago. The poor girl went white as i walked in ,did not no what all the fuss was about till the security bloke had a quite word with me lol.. Then i proceeded back to the clinic , where they removed the bandages, threw me under this lamp & cooked the shit out of my face, for 1/2 an hour, i could hear my skin sizzling. Ive been bashed , ive been stabbed, crashed motor bikes, even been shot at, but i tell you ive never experienced pain like i am now, anyhow by morning i should be one big blister, i love it, not. Cheers Mr sizzle:D
 
Speaking of getting kicked in the nuts and pain........

I was making chilli for some friends one time and was cutting up some habenaro peppers (also can be called scotch bonnet). I very stupidly did not wash my hands before taking a pee........... washing after was far too late.

I calmly turned off the stove...made it to the sofa and laid there for a good 45 minutes while my privates burned off and I sweat buckets. I think was hallucinating as well. Good chilli though.
 
Anyone out there with a big needle, so they can pop this big blister that is forming on my face. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:alien:im starting to look like the elephant man. I am not an animal.:eek:
