Title: Stuff always seems to happen at really bad times....
Post by: Modat22 on January 26, 2006, 11:17:18 AM
Got my motor rebuilt for that bandsaw mill I want to make, got the track welded up and on axles, have the rest of the cash required for my steel....

Truck drive shaft went messed up, car needs brakes and an axle assy, water heater went out, propane tank leaked out half my fuel, dog chain broke.

Now I gotta get a second job to get back on bandsaw project, actually already got a second job doing some CAD drafting for some fella, still sucks when STUFF happens....
>:( :-[ :'(

Problems???  Whose got problems????  Now I got BIG PROBLEMS

!.  Weather is too warm to be in the bush logging.
2.  All of our vehicles need some kind of fixing...
3.  Back won't let me do many of the things around here that need done.
4.  No money to pay the bills that keep coming in each month because of #'s 1-3

Guess I'll just have to find a new back and hope everything will all work out in the end. :) ;D :D :( >:( :o ::)

Have you ever tried a chiropractor? I hurt my back in Nov 05, went to one for 2 visits and I was good to go. No problems since but If they return I will see one first and try conventional if that fails next time. I never used to believe but went on my son's suggestion and finally agreed, it worked for me. 8)

mf  It is alot more complicated than just going to the chiropracter.  My back specialist said that if I do go to a chiroprater I will have a 95% chance of getting paralyzed permanently.

What I have is a thoracic kyphosis due to the wedging of the vertabrae from T5 to T8.  This is caused by Scheuermann's Disease.  There is also a minor scoliosis of the mid-thoracic spine convex to the right.  I do have a normal lumbar vertebrae and intervertebral disc spaces.

There is also a 50/50 chance that I'll ever walk again when they put me under the knife for surgery.  At that the only thing they can do is to TRY to correct the problems of which they can only correct to 40% because at 60% it is deemed LIFE THREATENING.   Not so good for someone as young as I am at only 27.

DanG Coon, I wish you luck but don't give up hope. I have a neighbor with the same problems that was stuck in bed for almost 6 months. He had surgury and is up and cutting his grass again.

Modat22 as I tell everyone-  It's one day at a time, one step at a time.  As long as I don't overdo myself I normally feel alright but the moment when I feel I've had enough then I quit for a while and rest.  Somedays I can work 4 or 5 hours and others it's more like a half hour tops.

I won't go for the surgery as of right now cuz I am still walking and working a lil.  But the moment when I can't walk then I will have to have surgery done.  Maybe by then there will be some significant advancement in this field of medical technology.  New things are being discovered all the time.  Guess I'll just have to wait my turn. ;)
