OT: Bout me... - Page 11

BigAl07 · 06-17-2008, 12:06 AM

Still aggressively doing NOTHING! I'm getting the yard watered on a regular basis and spend the time siting in my lawn chair doing exercises my buddy Craig taught me. Heck I may turn this "Keg" of a tummy into a 6-pack yet

Just wanted to let everyone know that your thoughts and prayers WORK! Over the last two days I have had NO pain what so ever and taken NO pain meds since Saturday. Not even ibuprofen. That's GOT to be a good sign.

Even though I'm feeling great I'm on the Aggressively Doing Nothing Duty in order to allow this thing to heal. Julie and I took an AMAZING walk this evening (once it cooled down) and it was great. We live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet and as we were walking down Main-street Waynesville the Moon (almost FULL) popped up over the mountain peeks. We just stood there admiring it and thanking the Heavens above for all of our many blessing.

Thank you EVERYONE!!

Coolio Al, Jules won't be able to keep her hands of that 6 pack, eh?!

Glad you're feeling better, Al. Please be careful not to get hit by any deer while you're out walking.

Thanks Kathy! Apparently the "Feeding Pattern" of our deer have changed. There are loads of "crops & gardens" around here so they aren't traveling the same route right now. It's been several weeks since we've seen them last. What we DO have now are two FAT groundhogs and one baby living in our neighbors yard and one VERY fat one living under our storage building. So funny to watch.

How's the recovery coming?

Update being requested from the gentleman that is aggressively doing NOTHING.

BigAl07 · 06-30-2008, 10:42 AM

I can't update because I'm too busy doing NOTHING!

Honestly my back is doing VERY well! Riding that long did hurt a small amount but nothing bad. I'd say on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being worst) my pain is about a .25 (that's POINT 25). Life is GOOD!

Thanks for checking on on me

lcstorc · 06-30-2008, 10:50 AM

Glad to hear you are doing so well and the drive didn't aggrivate it much at all. Driving for more than an hour is one of the worst things for my back.

rlcline76 · 06-30-2008, 11:11 AM

That is good that everything is remaining on the up and up.

Craig Manoukian · 07-03-2008, 12:46 PM

Wooooohooooo Al!

BigAl07 · 07-03-2008, 01:08 PM

All is GOOD! I've been taking it VERY easy and I feel GREAT! Trying to be "Smart" and just because I FEEL good not do something stupid and hurt myself!!

Thanks for checking in

Witfull · 07-04-2008, 11:04 AM

Al, i dont remember if i posted to this yet....so,,,,a few yrs ago i had to have surgery for disk rebuilds of the L4/L5 and L5/S1. i also had spinal cord abraision with cord leakage.

BigAl07 · 07-04-2008, 11:27 AM

thanks buddy

I appreciate your input! It's GOOD to hear from you!

Hope life is treating you well my friend!

BigAl07 · 08-06-2008, 11:49 PM

Craig Manoukian · 08-07-2008, 01:32 AM

Hang in there Al. I just had a cortisone shot for my surgically repaired left knee. It's all good, eh?
