Turbocad's finally selling mods :)

[turbocad6]

I went to a friend/previous customer of mine who is a chiropractor, have to do some follow up visits next week and also get an MRI next week. he says I most likely have a disc issue in my neck. I already know I have 2 herniated discs in my lower spine, L3, L4 or L5, don't remember exactly which pair, but this is not from that, this now is all upper back and neck

at first I tried to just schedule my own MRI because I knew that's really what I needed, but found out that they don't let anyone even just get an MRI on there own, you have to actually have a prescription from a doctor first just to even get an MRI, so now this guy agrees and will give me a script for that. I just need to get past this and get a whole bunch of mods done at this point, I'm way behind where I should be, horrible timing with this crap

Please do not stress over the making of mods right now.

I know it is easy for me to say that, but I feel it needed to be said. And said again.

Please do not stress over the making of mods right now.

Glad some relief is coming. Get fixed. Get well. Keep on keeping on.

I think most people on your mod list waited years to get a chance at one of your creations (hence the title of this thread). We can wait some more.

In fact, we'd all be mortified if rushing to build them set your recovery back.

I think there are some concierge options that don't, but most normal sources want a doc to order it. If insurance is involved a whole slew of extra rules apply.

Medicine is just weird.

Joining in on the well wishes. Hope you feel better soon!!
No problem with us waiting. I'm thinking you would like to get these going to create some income for yourself. Just don't over do it and set yourself back physically.

I'm sure it must be stressful! Being a one man band with a new venture and having to produce product to pay the bills but not being able to due to a very untimely, unforgiving, crippling injury. As mentioned PLEASE don't push yourself and follow doctor's orders!

I was sold with the idea of a full Ultem mod but your torture test videos really sealed the deal! Not that I would ever use this $500 mod as a daily beater, but knowing it's rock solid is a great thing!

Get well turbocad, your health is much more important than making killer mods for all the junkies in here!

Get well Turbo, mods can wait

Hope you're feeling better turbo!

 

[rudy4653]

Hello Turbo,
It's been awhile!
Checking to see if you doing okay?????
Your back getting any better?

 

[turbocad6]

yeah man, I think I'm finally back in action here, this turned into a whole month of agony. never had any kind of flare up like this ever last a whole month before, can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is when you want to do stuff but physically just can't, it's a very sucky feeling, for a while there I almost felt like I wanted to just die, feeling helpless and always in pain is not a good feeling at all

over the past month I've had a few days here and there of working in the shop off and on, but every time I'd put a few hours in it would cause even more pain and then put me back in bed for a few days again, but I think I'm finally past that. I still have some pain and my right arm still gets numb and tingly a bit, but nothing like it was and I'm def able to work again as long as I don't push it too much. was supposed to go for an mri today but I'm going to put it off till Wednesday I think, I really need to get caught up with work

the past week I finished building and testing my ultem polishing equipment which works awesome by the way, I can now get the ultem as clear as glass inside and out, which was my last hurdle with the ultem being truly ready for prime time. if you thought the ultem looked good before wait till you see it now it actually works so good now that I can even get the black ultem up to a high gloss, glass like finish too, so much so that I think I now need to build a media blaster just to cut the gloss level a bit, the black ultem is just too damn glossy now

I also winded up finishing rewiring my whole basement shop yesterday too. before I only had 2 circuits in the basement shop including lighting so I was limited to how much equipment I could use at the same time when the vacuum is running, and the more equipment and lighting I added the worse it got, I started blowing breakers here and there and the ultem polishing equipment was like the last straw, so I got my buddy electrician to come out this weekend and add a bunch of circuits, even added a 220 circuit so I can add a big compressor down there eventually too. last night I was able to turn every single thing on at the same time with no circuit breaker popping, I would never need to have everything on at the same time ever really, but at least now I don't have to worry about overloads anymore

that's one problem with being laid up is it gives you a lot of time to think, and when my mind wanders I start to devise plans for improving the shop and building new tools so what ever little work I've been getting done past few weeks have been more towards shop improvements with only a little mod work getting thrown in here and there. now that the equipment is mostly done and the shop is completely rewired, today finally I'm going back at finishing up the wood mods I have that have been waiting for me all month, and trying to finish up a batch of ultems too. I desperately need to get some mods done now or I'm going to wind up having to sell my car at this point and I def don't want to have to do that

 

[rudy4653]

Your alive!!!!
Great to hear from you and glad you are on the comeback trail. DON'T overdue it!!

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

Can't keep a good man down. Welcome back (<- see what I did there?).

Buuuuut... don't work so hard you suffer a recurrence. 'Kay?

 

[ghola1was]

Happy to hear that you are feeling a bit better. Sounds like the shop is in better shape than you are!

 

[Nautilusfan]

Glad you're on the mend. Go on and get the MRI. It'll show what's causing the issue and maybe the chiropractor will be able to do some things that will help with your recovery

 

[penguiness]

I cringe when people mention a chiropractor. Once you go, you will have to go again, and again, and again...

Well, I had odd, nagging neck stuff happening - not real bad, but I'd tried and failed FOR TEN YEARS to get it diagnosed. Finally, went to a Chiro, though I thought it was bunk.
He did an XRay, and then said - "I'm not touching you - there's something wrong" and showed me exactly where. This is following MRI's and neurological tests and a few doctors all failed to figure anything out.

Also worth noting - the "tingling" and numbness and pain you're describing sound familiar. With me, it was caused because the hole that runs through the middle of your whole spinal column was closing in - and touching that big-old bundle of nerves that runs through it. Spinal cord - right up to the noggin.
If your nerves are getting bumped into, muscle relaxants don't do any good...

With mine, I waited and waited - til one day every friggin muscle in my neck and upper back seized. I can't quite describe what that was like. But as mentioned - they fixed it. Immediate and permanent relief. Go get that MRI!
