GLEN (79COYTOTE) WAS IN AN ACCIDENT!

[THK Matt]

$70 a week thats bull crap

agreed!

[79coyotefrg]

well, its been almost three years and I still have good days and bad days however in the last couple weeks ive had more bad days then good.

the truck is back to better condition than it was before but is in bad need of a brake upgrade and some tires but i'll get them soon I hope.

Ive still yet to get on disability   still depending on my family for everything but still holding on.  Its amazing what you can do without when you have to.

I started thinking about this thread because for the last week ive been having horrible head and neck pain and just cant seem to kick it.  I'd be happy for it to ease up enough to not have to take narcotics to get to feeling well enough to watch TV.

I havent been wheeling since April and have missed two  events i REALLY wanted to go to   but no money and inability to stand anything over 90 degrees keeps me home way too often.

come hell or high water i'm going to the Southern Cruiser Crawl in October

[abnormaltoy]

Wow...tempus fugit!

This getting old crap sucks. Time goes by so much faster now than in the long ago.

I still wish you the best Glen and I know things will turn around for you.

[79coyotefrg]

well my friends,  yesterday was 5 years since my wreck.   I have been doing some very light yard work for an elderly lady that my chiropractor introduced me to last spring.   Funny thing is when some "heavy lifting" needs to be done she does it at a grand age of 81 years.   
  Since my last post here my back has slowly and steadily gotten worse to the point that friday I picked up a few sticks of firewood that I had STUPIDLY cut myself with her very small chainsaw.  After laying on the ground about 30 minutes I was finally able to get up and get onto the lawn mower and get back into her garage.   Been eating lorcet plus 7.5/650 all weekend till I go to the doctor monday

OH, and get this.   I have never gotten ANY disability from our screwed up system

I have however joined a church and in the next few weeks will be baptized

I know this is an old thread. I engender reading it when it happened.  Have things turned for the better

no unfortunately      been to the doctor today.  I have had a heart murmur all my life but when I had this wreck my heart was bruised somewhat, it wasnt until much later when my leg healed and we got my truck back together I started noticing more and more chest pain.   18 months after the wreck I went in for a surgery to clean out an infection (dont ask you dont want to know) anyway, I started having bad chest pains, they did a ekg right there in surgery prep and then ran me around to the er side.
from there on out I had to take meds for my heart, Coreg, Imdur, and Lisinopril.   over time they have been increased a LOT and today he doubled my Imdur in hopes that I wont need to take more Nitrostat that I carry with me all the time.

head and neck injury still freeking hell.  been laying in the bed since I got home because my head feels like its splitting open. gonna go lie back down
 

[mudmaster]

Damn man! I hope you get well soon!!

[83yota]

thanks Ryan, I joined a church and got baptized but in the last couple of months I have either been too sick to go or didnt have enough gas to get there and back
I pray it gets better soon.

[*** YELLER ***]

Gleniepoo in time it will get easier to deal with the pain, well you will at least get more use to it anyway, I deal with Chronic pain daily and have since '87, it's all about management at this point all the doctors tell me is that  " there's nothing we can do for the pain" that's the worst part for me knowing that it wall never get any better, I can only hope you find a way to deal with the constant discomfort you are in buddy,

[79coyotefrg]

   next week will be ten years 10 YEARS since the wreck.
  The last couple weeks the pain has been so unbearable I can't put my own shoes on.  A month or so ago I stumbled and caught myself on my right foot ever since then my pain has been double what it has been for years.     
   I went to my doctor numerous times in a short time to get some answers. He sent me to the orthopedist next door.  He did MRI on my hip and xray on my lumbar and found nothing and told me to go back to my chiropractor and see if he could "get the kinks out" , well after four adustments over a week and a half the pain got even worse.  He finally said he was afraid he was doing more damage than good and I should go see this surgeon. 
    October 2nd I will get up early and go see the surgeons nurse practitioner for assessment.  She will do xrays and MRI's that the surgeon does before he operates anyway.   
they may even try some injections to give me some relief along the way.

I might be in need of some good "meds" in the GBG thread.

You know I'd contribute if nudes were allowed, but each time I hit google looking for safe pics for this thread, google wants to show me worse pics and I give up.  Seriously, search "tasteful bikini pics" and see what comes up...

Hope they get it figured out, Glen.  Have you looked at any alternative treatments or methods?

[helipilot77]

Just wondering Glen if you have looked into hypnosis for the pain? Since the pain is just a signal being received by your brain a hypnotist should be able to turn off the signal. Normal doctor don't think of this sort of thing cause they are so medication focused. If it worked it would save you a ton of money in meds. Might be worth a try.

[THK Matt]

Damn glen! 10 years! i joined this forum then. Thats a bummer to hear your doing worse these days. Keep up the spirit and good luck to you!

Never tried it myself and I can't shut down my thoughts to the level they need to hypnotise you, but I could see the benefit for the right person.  And like you said, doctors are taught to prescribe medicines and have their pockets padded for doing so, so suggesting alternate treatments just doesn't fit their business model.

If you know anybody who buys or sells doterra essential oils, see if they can get you a sample of the deep blue rub.  Didn't do anything for me, but many people swear by it for relief from aches and pains.

Please avoid the opioid pain medications.

I think at this point it would cause more damage because I'd be able to maybe do stuff.   my doctors are thinking disc replacement at L5S1 I dont care i just want to be able to get out of bed.

[79coyotefrg]

Please avoid the opioid pain medications.

I have been on Hydrocodone for 6 years (Darvocet for 3 years before that and it worked great til they pulled it off the market because it WORKED)  and took the same amount til just a few weeks ago when I almost fell.   
When I was in the hospital having my heart surgery and then slipped a clot and died,   they had me on Oxycodone AND morphine.  Noon 2 oxy, 2pm morphine, 4pm oxy, 6pm morphine 24/7 for 3 or 4 weeks  along with something that I cant remember the name of they used as a sedative but I was seeing monkeys with human heads and all kinds of weird .
Hydrocodone is harmless and does well for most of my pain.  Could I take more?  why?  so they would not give me any more?

I only suggest it because I heard on the news that surgeons started to use hypnosis on kids that needed surgery but were to young for general anesthesia.

[blackdiamond]

Hi Genn, it's been a long time since you spent much time on the forum. Sorry that you having the issues.

As a side note, and without any intention to start a debate, I think a statement about doctors trying to pad their pocket books is about as short sighthed as accusing all cops as being racist. I agree that they  are absolutely trained in traditional medicine and generally are not much help with exploring alternative options, I know a lot of people in the medical field (my wife is a PA) and the level of frustration they express when they are unable to get their patients the treatments that they believe is needed. The system is broken and there are bad doctors for sure, but the vast majority of doctors are good people wanting to help their patients.

Too young for general anesthesia? Never heard of such a thing

if the news said it, it has to be true yo!

Well. I'm not necessarily saying its true. I'm just saying that if he isn't having any luck with traditional medicine, maybe he should look at other resources.

Absolutely. Is the doctor you see an MD or a DO. DO seem to be better at treating the whole body as well as alternative medicine

I hope you all could tell that this was sarcastic......

The news is full of what the liberal media wants you to hear

Don't kid yourself Jimbo. Both sides are lying to us.
