I think it is. But we kiss and hug all day... If I get the itus, she getting it.

Lemme juss tellya. This $99 heater I got 2 years ago is worth at least $100.

Groovy night tonight.

Nice situation. I'm feeling grateful myself.

Dennis died today. I lost him 10 years ago, but he was a super cool cat. Fucking bummer

Did he walk the kitchen beams?

lumberjim · 04-08-2020, 04:30 PM

I think so? Could have been banzai. Jinx posted pics in the pets thread. Banzai had darker orange ears.

Also gold, brown, green, and orange I think.

Got a package in the post today... Thanks! Dunno when, but I'll figure out a use for it one day.

Just another resource in the bag of tricks.

I experienced sciatica yesterday for the first time. Holy shit batman.

That fucking hurts.

I have several theories on why. First, I tweaked my back on that side when the mulch came. Simply tossing the tarp over it. Was sore for a couple days, then was better. Then I spent 3 of the next 4 days shoveling, carting and spreading it (7+ yards). Was sore, but no real pain. Took 2 or 3 days slow due to weather, then power washed front and back porches in one shot (4-5 hours). Over the next 2 days my back started getting stiff right where I had tweaked it at the beginning of this long paragraph. Thinking that as muscle re grew, it crowded that nerve and inflamed the area.

Yesterday, it got so tight, I couldn't sit on a chair. Started getting little muscle spasms in my right thigh. Kind of like a twitching eyelid... Or like bubbles coming up from boiling water. Pop pop pop....(these went on all day... Like having hiccups for 12 hours)... Tried walking it off. Then the pain started to bloom in my right femur. Got to the point where it felt like a bad tooth ache inside that whole leg. It was far worse than the back pain.

From about 1pm to 9 pm I could not stand up for more than 4 minutes. Ice packs, heat, ibuprofen, aleve, pot, rum... Nothing helped. Well the pot helped me disassociate from the pain, but it was still thrumming.

Finally, at Amandas insistence, I laid on my back on the rug, and put my calves up on the ottoman for as long as I could take it. That actually got me around the corner. I could sit up again. Still pretty shaky and sore this morning, but much much better.

Another theory is that I haven't had my wallet in my back pocket every day, and Thursday I went out, and had it there.

I have shit to do and it's a gorgeous day. This is inconvenient.

Sounds brutal. I’m sorry. I hope you continue to improve.

BigV · 05-02-2020, 01:23 PM

Does sound brutal. When I've had muscle spasms in my back due to misuse or overuse, only prescription muscle relaxants brought any kind of relief. Couldn't sit, couldn't stand, couldn't walk, wished I didn't have to breathe, completely shitty.

Get well man.
