Good morning shiny seekers.. sleep still evades me and I'm not sure why, anyway feeling pretty good in spite of the lack of sleep. Checked incoming status today and looking like a good vapemail day is in order, But, as we all know, "subject to change without notice"

Good morning! How did the spine injection go? Was it one of those cortisone pain blocker things?

Good morning, and thank you for asking, It was what is called an LESI they inject a steroid and numbing agent into the nerve... Have some relief the morning from it. They generally last a couple of months thank goodness, with help from pain meds in conjunction

How are things in the Land down Under?

So glad you are getting some relief from the injection. Should make life a little more enjoyable. I had one last October but it didn't work for me unfortunately. All good here..weather is getting cooler thank goodness. Not that we have a winter. It is either hot or not so hot

Not sure I could live where there is so many things that can cause you peril i.e. spiders and snakes of the poisonous variety... Not my cup of tea what so ever

Hubs gets those spine injections too. First 2 he got worked very well but this last one isn't working well at all.

they are quite uncomfortable when the medication is introduced into the nerve, especially if it's inflamed.. I have cried out in pain a few times from it..although it takes generally a week for the medication to provide the relief. hence the reason for the numbing agent.
Getting old isn't always fun..

You got that right. It was over a week ago that hubs had the last shot. It just isn't working well this time plus it's causing some serious nerve pain that I'm hoping goes away.

Agree! Especially when you need to run from all the spiders and snakes

Poor hubs! When the injections work they are great. My last one has left me with permanent(?) numbness in my lower leg and foot. Weird.

That sounds as if they damaged the nerve when the procedure was performed...

I received mine the other day but haven't built on it as of yet..Looking forward to hearing what your thoughts are on it.

Definitely please

Hopefully not. It's not a constant pain.

Use the tool for leg length.
Only drawback I have is the well, or lack thereof.
Works well as a squonker juicing every couple hits. I don't see it performing great as a standard dripper since you will have to juice it up often.
Outside of that, good flavor and looks.

Good morning shiners! No packages, no store trips for today.

Guess I'll have to rectify that after breakfast.

Good to know.
The video he did showed him putting the top of the could just below the top of the AF stacks. Has that held true for you, or lower?

Thanks,sweetie Hubs is on his way to Chemo. Please cross your fingers and anything else crossable in hopes that his blood count is good enough to have the chemo.
