I would say the hardest part was staying alive...... especially after I got hit by a truck while walking on the sidewalk.

Just before the accident, I had the top and bottom of one of my shoulder joints replaced and was able to use the shoulder pretty well.

After the accident I can hardly use that shoulder and have problems with th other shoulder.

Sounds good...... but I can't do that unfortunately
.
Years ago I got hurt when four nice gentlemen surrounded me and then pulled out their respective machetes while at the same time demanded my money.

Needless to say as a result of that experience..... I was in a lot of pain.

To make matters worse, that during the time periods when my doctor decided not to prescribe pain medication I had to resort to anti-inflammantories for relief.
The Anti-inflammatories took out my kidneys (stage 3 kidney disease) hence no alchol for me.

So.... I am stuck with the Kool-Aid. I like the sugar free orange Kool-Aid and sweeten it with spleenda.

Thanks for sharing the tidbit about the anti-inflammatories as I have been on them for 4 months now for a pinched nerve in my neck. Although the company is allowing me to work limited duty beyond the norm, I am loosing out on 2+ hours of overtime per day. Makes keeping things current very tough. Another good reason to get'r done, and get back to work.

Hope you recover from all the pain. I did not like the part when the doctor said that I may only be able to obtain a baseline of tolerable pain for the rest of my life. I would rather go through surgery to avoid that.

Congrats Big John on completing your plan!
