I figured I would check in with everyone that has been following my threads...Finally got test results.. and basically I have a bunch of disk issues with c3-4 moderate right,severe left foraminal narrowing
c5-6 severe bilateral foraminal narrowing

and.. got a plugged up vein on right leg.. that all ready has 1 stent left has 1 stent also

So basically my right arm has gone south on me and right leg is locking up when i walk for a bit.. so I have been taking it easy and when i feel like it been working on 3d printer.. I see a judge the 15th of dec for ssi... and pray i get it so i can get medicaid and can take care of some of these ...other then that.. hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy new year..
...................................
see ya in the funny pages..

Wow!

Wishing you the best and that a degree of healing will take place!
It's gotta be tough losing physical capability. I know it only through the getting old process, but it is minor in comparison to your toubles.

Dr thinks nerve injection might do the trick.. but i have to be sedated... as my mind will shut my body down if i get stuck in the TRUNK of my body.. such as getting shot in ass or something or nerve shot like i had years ago.. i will pass out.. Had rabies when 5 years old.. took bunch of people to hold me down till i litterly passed out.. so its a deep seeded mental issues lol.. i can have blood drawn and take shot in arm.. but trunk of body. no.. so.... hopefully.. in time i can get that done.. leg thing.. this would be the 4th time for procedure on legs and it sucks.. but im a tough ol coot.. but damn sick of the pain..
Thanks for the well wishes everyone..

Wish you well too, Jet.

So two stents? and you are risk for DVTs - did the doc mention an umbrella too - Filter?

Well take it easy, man. Wish can help you do some lifting, but distance and all.

I had shoulder pains last year and it was recommended those shots. BUt I declined - just some other meds and no heavy lifting for few. My shoulder healed. I do my best not to overdo it and risk injury.

Take care.

Watch those stents. They'll move on you.

Stay away from the pain meds. I've seen and heard to many stories of good folks getting turned upside down.

You need to stop lifting things. I got a wench and attached it to the rafters to help me. Take it easy on your back. You've only got one.

lost my only sis to pain meds.. she got hooked after car wreck.. and mother broke her back and got hooked on till she got a morphine pump put in... I do not take pain pills but on rare occasion.. and yea .. no lifting.. but still have things that have to be done.. and nobody to help with.. so i do things slow and easy..

The rafters seems inconvenient. Maybe a post of some kind. Or even the closet.
I like quick easy access to my wench, but hey, whatever works for you.

mainly it marlin I am having to learn how to deal with.. and enough about G code to get it to do what I need.. but.. I will get it right sooner or later.. right now.. issue is getting glass to lay free on the rollers and keep in step.. shelf liner on both rollers and bottom of glass I think is what I will end up using..
