well Bugger!

Post by neckyzips »

so after all this hard work getting the new shop built, interior sheet rocked painted, lights up, floor done, benches in place, machines rebuilt de rusted, tuned up, broken bits replaced etc, i got the shop set up the way i think i want it. found a second hand large manual mill for an ongoing project i needed it for, things were going swimmingly! then this world pandemic hits and everyone goes crazy!
and as sometimes things go, i took a load of trash, mostly card board boxes to the dump, climbed in the back of the truck to get a scrap of a box i couldn't reach, bend down and bam! sharp pain down my lower back through my groin and exploding in my knee cap! i climb out of the truck, try to drive the old stick shift back home with one leg. the pain is amazing, making me sick to my stomach! end up having to go to the ER via an ambulance, cause there is no way i can sit up for the half hour car ride. some ct scans later, doc says i have a compressed disk that is pinching my femoral nerve. they send me home with advil, and a few shots of pain killers. no referral to a specialist, no pain meds etc.
after several "facetime" doctors appointments i finally get to talk to a specialist; well sort of via facetime... at least he gave me some pain meds and some anti inflammatory. prognoses is i guess it will heal itself... orders are 2 weeks flat on my back, then some pt, 3 months till im maybe 75% of normal rang of movement. no option of any sort of office visit or real help till all this virus stuff lifts.

anyway, just a heads up, i will get some things rearranged so i can stand up and work and get some stuff done.

Hi Joe,

Not sure if you started the case already, if not or if it is half way done, don’t worry. Just recover.

Terrible news, sorry to hear.

We are all still eagerly waiting promised cases and parts, but health comes first.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

As the age old saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

I think the "hanging upside down" advice refers to this .... :D
