CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[1st Officer]

No, no - he was responding to what you were suggesting that I should do.

I understood completely, I just wasn't sure what to say.

 

[Raynes]

If the guys in the club know you, they'll probably just shake their heads and walk away laughing.

Yea I can see Officer now draped in only a pink boa dancing to Rod Stewart's "If You Think I'm Sexy" holding a bottle of liquid and trying to explain that to the guys when they bust in on his commercial. I'd pay good money to see that,it would be better than comic relief.

Officer --SPEECHLESS? Say its not so !!

 

[1st Officer]

Yours it might come in handy one of these days. I hear ya on the claustrophobia and those MRI machines are the pits and to have to stay in one 2hrs ohhhh uhuh they'd have to have me in a comatose state. I sure hope all turns out well for you

I have to get it done every 6 months. I broke my spine in 3 places along with a whole laundry list of other stuff and I now have a titanium spine from my neck to my waist. I bent one of the screws over the summer and they are deciding if they need to replace it or not. I figure there's 47 other ones so why complain about one. So they scan my entire spine where the repair is every 6 months to make sure I'm not falling apart. No Bull

I was sitting in the waiting room at the hospital when I posted that and I thought since I might be gone all day I'd give the pot a great big stirring. Things have been way to quiet on this thread and I just can't let a good opportunity go by, I've had this problem most of my life.

So that's what's been wrong with you--you've been trying to think !!! Well bless your biker heart don't try to think anymore.You get into enough trouble without thinking,besides that your over working the one neuron you have left,we have to keep you around for entertainment

Easy there I can Bust a Move!

I can't bring myself to "like" your post. Holy cow! I didn't even realize that it was possible to basically replace the entire spine. That's absolutely appalling and amazing at the same time. What's most amazing is that you are still ambulatory.

Oh GEEZ Officer I sure hope they don't have to go back in there. All joking aside your such an inspiration to me. Your getting back to bike riding after all you've been through surely I can ride a horse again. When I get frustrated I think "Officer did it,so can I"

Yea and has gone back to riding his bike!!! Talk about will power

A nerve cell. It transports nerve impulses to and from the brain

 

[1st Officer]

The sound effects are kinda cool though. JK

I'm had my fair share of MRI's, but none that lasted that long! Remaining still for 2 hours would be next to impossible for me even though I can imitate a rock fairly well.

They hit me with 30 mg of IV Valium and then wait for me to start drooling then they stick me in the tube. I usually don't remember it or the ride home. BTW I just got home and I am kinda not quite right just yet.

I got pictures if I can find them well x-rays..

 

[rave]

I just find it interesting that the three of us talking right now all have issues, and are doing our best to get back in the saddle. Makes ya think....

 

[Raynes]

Well I had quite the afternoon. Some-one rear-ended my car on the way to the supermarket after work. Fortunately just some bumper scratches. But it did leave me feeling a bit shaky. And man, for the first time in months I really felt like a cigarette. My carto was dry on my X2. So I broke out the back ups and vaped like a train in the supermarket carpark. Felt a lot better after that. Anyway, insurance have already been onto it and the other driver admitted liability.
I really was so glad I had my vape back ups.

Came home and discovered that the large art deco ornament in the kitchen is a conventional oven. So I threw a chicken in there. Not a live one. Ry4 followed by roast chicken. Ah.

And good morning to the t'other siders.

So sorry to hear about your accident. Are you OK? Glad you reached for your back ups instead of a cig.

8 surgeries and 2 years just to get back on my feet. The first year I was paralyzed from the waist down but then they brought in some big shot Neurosurgeon from Germany and he was able to repair most of the nerves, I still can't feel my left hip and leg down to the knee but they tell me that's as good as it will ever be. Hey I can still ride, just got back on this past spring.

I just found out a couple of weeks ago I have RA. It was just a matter of time since Mother has it,but I'm not telling anyone they'll try to make me sell the farm. It could be worse. Thing is I'm not hurting just my sed rate is high and I tested positive. I'm thinking there is a screw up somewhere. Doesn't matter one day Rave you'll be painting and I'll be riding. Until then we'll enjoy what we are doing now and keep plugging away

That's my greatest fear being paralyzed. Main thing is your riding that's your passion
