Ambulances don't carry water

[mousepod]

Sorry I'm jumping in so late - I hope that by the time you're reading this, you're already feeling better. When my Dad was 29, he spent a few days in the hospital for a slipped disc. I myself am still recovering from a cracked rib. Back pain is no fun. Take care of yourself!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, GD. Back injuries/pain/spasms are no fun.


I had lower back pain that went down to my nuts. Terrible. Just leaning forward to put the toilet seat down would ignite a trail of pain from back to sac. Took over two years to fully recover.

Well, I'm back at work today. I'm not 100%, but I can sit, stand, walk, go up and down stairs, etc. All sans-medication. As long as I take it slow and don't make sudden moves, I'm relatively pain free. Hopefully this improvement will continue.

Well, the Vicodin may be all yours if you want it*, I'll even give you the Limbaugh discount. So far, all it's done (other than mask the pain) is make me feel overheated and nauseated. The Soma...I haven't taken that on its own yet so I don't know if I want to keep it or not.

Lucky you said that, I was just about to start a seance for my good friend J Edgar Hoover, and then you'd REALLY be in pain. Muahahahahhahah!

*ahem*

Wow my sense of humor really sucks before I've had my morning coffee.

Um, they do have water on ambulance's just not for you. They would probably run an IV to get your fluids up before doing anything orally... Unless that is you wanted to help someone get into the code 3 club. Then the perrie would be flowing like it was Desiante. [sic sic sic too lazy to look up]

Anyhow hope your feeling better Sir, and to that end I recomend daily nude full release massages

Yes, but even better, he said:

Funny how things look when taken out of context, isn't it?

Glad you were able to get back to contributing to our economy again, GD. I hope this whole thing turns out to be a fluke, and that it NEVER happens again ... your quota of horrible back pain having been filled.


Hahahahaha, joking, joking, Iamonlyjoking - Vicodin is useless as a recreational drug, imo. It's such a good pain killer, and such a retarded pharmaceutical feeling when there's no pain for it to work on. The Soma, however, is another story. And I'm betting you won't really want to part with it, which is no problemo as you deserve all the side benefits you can glean from this awful situation. Jokityjokejoke.

I'm late! Like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland! I missed this whole thread!
I hope you are feeling much better GD!

Back injuries and pain are horrible and I hope that you are well and truly on the mend, with no residual issues later on!

I am, thank you

I'm probably feeling about 90% better now. I no longer get any serious twinges of pain, I've felt confident enough to start carrying weight again, even rode my bike last night. About the only time it's been bothering me any more is if I have to sit for any more than 30 minutes, but even that's much improved from last week when I ended up having to bail from work after a 90 minute meeting that left me near immobile (even with the musle relaxant).
