AggieDave 6 #1 December 19, 2004 I spent 4 hours in one Friday night/saturday morning due to my back spasming so hard I couldn't get out of bed. They weren't that much help, except for giving me some pretty strong drugs thats helped me get through that night, yesterday and this morning. I guess karma is a bitch, since I was poking fun at the yankee's weather (its perfect outside), but no jumping for me this weekend.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #2 December 19, 2004 Hope you feel better soon, Dave. Right now, I can totally relate to being just out of the hospital and not being able to jump. (PM sent.) Take care, my friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slug 1 #8 December 19, 2004 Friday night Sat morning is busy time in the ER Wait until you see the ER bill. Talk to your Doc and try and only take half of what he prescries for the pain. Then you got a stash for the next time, you got a emergency owee. faster than the ER R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you got a stash for the next time, you got a emergency owee. faster than the ER R.I.P. Good plan! I did that when I had a back spasm that sent me hobbling to my doctor a couple of years ago. I had never felt pain like this -- and I had done NOTHING to bring it on! I just woke up one morning and my back was simply killing me. I could barely reach for a doorknob without an excruciating jolt of pain; I had never before had pain that made me cry out, but this did it. I am not one for pharmaceuticals, so I asked the doctor if there was something he could give me that was non-narcotic (the last thing I want is to get hooked on pain medication) and he gave me Soma. I don't even know what the stuff is -- a friend says it's related somehow to Valium -- but it actually did work. A day after the pain was in full swing, I was taking one of these every 4-6 hours and I was actually able to compete in a disc golf tournament in relative comfort! Nick, what did you do to break your jaw and get a concussion?! What did they tell you happened that night, since you don't remember? Do you believe them and what they say? -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captain1 0 #11 December 20, 2004 I had to spend four hours in the ER because my eyes felt like sandpaper and no eye doctor was open for business on a Sunday. I was out of town, reporting to work for a new job the next day and everybody thinks I am hungover my first day on the job because my eyes are redder than a fox's ass. I was diagnosed with the flu and conjunctivitis. That was a nasty combo to get over in one week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #19 December 20, 2004 Alright, I've spent the past 2 1/2 days on heavy drugs (heavy for me atleast, probably candy to some skydivers) and proped up in bead with a heating pad on my back. Morgan gave me my christmas present early since she felt sorry for me (a game boy) so that's been entertaining.Today I feel much better, I'm not even close to 100% I'm I can get up and sit at the computer, so that's good. Thanks for the well wishes everyone, as well as the funny stories and such, it was a pleasure to read.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

TALONSKY 0 #24 December 20, 2004 Just a note about the pain med shot. I had my back go out a couple of years ago and went to the hospital (as with you they were not alot of help but they offered a shot). The shot cost $340.00 and it was an additional $70.00 fee for administering it. These cost were not covered by my insurance. If I had known it was that much I just would have gotten a couple bottles of wine for $15.00. So from now on if a doctor ask me if I want a shot my first question is how much is that shot going to cost? Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
