bad news even worse. My doc says my back hasn't improved enough since i saw him last week. He says i can expect recovery to take another 1-2 weeks. I'm also getting an mri and xrays on friday to check for damage to the disks in my back or fractures. And my doc also strongly suggests i stop working and rest. I may think about doin that. CURSE YOU DODGE STRATUS!!!!

Just have a couple members of your mob come in and "convince" the doctor he was incorrect in his diagnosis

I am sure you can find some Lexan, Duct Tape and zip ties

seriously--hope you get fixed soon. I was on crutches for 8-10 weeks a couple of years ago, that and the PT sucked.


damned I wish I could go, just a picture of some recovery gear got a good thing going...

yep no snatch block, though the shackles and straps have worked in a snatch blocks place before (hard on equipment)
and yeah the scuba gear was for those in deep water with no tall tires...I have a 15lb ultimate air (funny since it uses CO2) but haven't filled it yet...

hope to have a winch this summer

well.. the only good thing that may happen is there is talk of a "settlement" And i'm hoping the "settlement" will get me an elocker for my lady in white.(my truck) and if there's "settlement" left over get some sliders. we'll see though... no promises.

The wife had plans for the weekend all ready and I have to do some upkeep on the truck too(valve/compression checks-oil change...stupid pinion seal because I think I put too much gear oil in and I might rerun my diff breather too). Oh yeah, I also found out yesterday that Elbe is roughtly the same driving time for me as going to Tahuya!!!
