A friend of mine was a carpenter. One day he says to me, what do you think about this blister on my hand. I said go to Dr. immediately, it is not a blister. Biopsy took a couple of weeks for a lab to identify it. Very invasive form of melanoma. Only known treatment is amputation. Because it took a couple of weeks to identify, there was a real possibility of it getting in his lymph nodes. After they took his hand, it was clear he was not going to be able to work as a carpenter. He applied for SSI for his hand. He was denied for his hand, but given to him for mental illness. He was so angry about loosing his hand, he didn't smoke, he was a vegetarian, worked out...all the right things for a happy and healthy life. So he went back to school, and married a woman he knew he high school, and what changed his life more than anything was his step daughter had MS all her life and had overcome every hardship you could imagine. His anger seemed to slip away.

Hi guys and Diana, and Nes.

Kraven, do it. Sometimes a guy needs a break and that is you now. There is a percentage of people that get disability and return to work. I don't remember the numbers anymore. What i am saying is as far as you living off the government, you did two tours in the Marines... I think we owe you. And, it isn't forever, i can't remember how old you are, i am thinking 40's so it can be forever or not but you should do it.. To play the game you will need to go see a shrink and let them have the records, or her/his diagnosis. I think you are depressed and have ptsd..seems enough to me. Visit the shrink then get a lawyer. 3rd time filling is usually the charm in this area. Good luck honey, I am on your side.

Keef, pain can just ruin a day, right? I have two bad knees that i refuse surgery on and now i have a newly diagnosed bone spur on my Achilles. Most days is doable really I do well, but this week I am dead. I worked out today because and this to me is the biggest pisser: if you hurt all over when you move, you need to move more. I hate that.

Cane, i drove down to walla walla this morning in 40 mph gusts. Now they are 60... A good size limb fell out of the tree on the roof... That big tree is going to have to come down and I will cry. It is wonderful shade for out house... biggest on the block.. Plus it costs a lot.

Took clones, smoking LA hash tonight with a little papaya under it.
Nice to see everyone.

Hey Rose! Glad I got good knees!-- Kraven -- Good luck with the disability !-- Just remember they don't always do the right thing !--

 

[mrcane]

Rose looks like the weather is going to calm down for awhile..
You are probably just as well off without the surgery on your knees. I have had two arthroscopic surgeries on mine [old hockey injuries] They still hurt... But the back hurts more and no way they will cut on my back...
Let's smoke Eh..:48:

 

[Rosebud]

I'm in!

 

[Keef]

Either of U take a fish or krill oil supplement?-- Yo Cane so U still have problem with your knees ?-- Without those scopes U could be walking on store bought knees !-- Rose -- Achilles bone spur ?-- perhaps by repeated micro fractures from over use such as working out too hard without time for heing in between ?--

 

[Keef]

Don't be hating!-- Just pointing out the possibilities!

 

[mrcane]

Keef, I take a good fish oil & a few others. The back has hurt forever,Degenerative Disc Disease..

 

[mrcane]

I know Keef we just need to smoke more weed..Or eat it. I might have to get on those canna caps..

 

[Keef]

Cane --I'm not a big fan of surgery around the spine !-- I'm holding out for the cure to aging !-- Hey it gives me hope ! Sometimes hope is all U got !

Kraven keep following through with it,and I also hope that you are seeing someone.. If you find the right person it can really help to talk things out...
I speak from experience, Just hit bottom bout two years ago,never seen it comin, had severe depression,and diagnosed with PTSD went through hell and I am still F***** up.. Didn't want to file for ssi disability but my neurologist talked me into it. & got it first shot.. two years on meds now but weening off with MJ... two years with the shrink ... & Here we are..Keep going for it bro you earned it.... Hallucinations,,anxiety,depression,paranoia,are not fun I'm sure you know all too well...Take Care,, Sorry I Know T.M.I.Thanks

The back has hurt forever,Degenerative Disc Disease..

Right there with ya, bro. Got the same along with three blown disks and arthritis from my saddle to my sombrero. Toss in severe sciatic and cervical nerve damage and you can see why it's hard to smile sometimes.

Now and then, I get the notion to have the surgery. I talk myself out of it every time. I'd hate to walk into a hospital and come out in a wheel chair.

 

[Hippie420]

Damn, that was depressing. Let's all take another toke!

 

[mrcane]

Ya we gotta Smoke that's it :48:
