I want an MRI, shit is getting worse and not better.  Muscles that spasm are linked to my sciatic nerve which isn't a good thing.

Go see a neurologist. They can also do nerve conduction testing for you that may help more than just an MRI will.

Also see your PCM (or PCP) for the referral. Makes the insurance shit much easier to get thru.

My insurance is easy.  They cover everything with zero deductible and no copay.

 

Figure I should start with an orthopedic surgeon or sports doc.

 

Seated versions are boring as fuck and annoy all other boaters.  I can't begin to explain how bad they suck.  The people that buy them are usually asshats as well.  Nothing good to say about them.  If you have the hankering at all, rent one for a day and by the end of the day you will never want one.

All good reasons. I have driven a seated version once, but on a small ass shitty 'lake' and it was worthless IMO. Maybe on the Ocean it would be different?

Still boring.  Fun for about 8 hours a year.  Max.

Just got done grilling and I have learned two lessons.

1) NEVER ask the woman to pick up steak. She craps out and buys cheap shitty cuts cause it's what they have.

2) NEVER get meat from Wal*Mart. If this was the best ribeye or serloin they had, this is fucking pathetic. While it is a different cut than I normally buy, this is beyond night and day difference.

Perhaps buying nice strip steaks of 'grass fed no hormone, no antibiotic' steak has made me a steak snob.

Then up the ante from the grass fed crap and fine corn fed beef.  WAY better.  Grass fed is a tree hugger idiots idea to ruin the taste of beef.  Not saying you can't have a good piece of grass fed beef as how you treat the animal is as important as the diet, but if the same animal was fed corn it would be WAY yummier.

 

I do feel sorry for you all South of IA.  Steaks get funkier the further away from the Midwest you get.

Hope the search yields you something good J.

Do I need a referral to go to an orthopedic surgeon? Know any good ones Matt?

Not by name. In General Fairview Southdale is fantastic.

Sean, you could go to any the IAM clinics and it would do nothing but help. That is ons of the best parts about the Fairview heath system. An MRI and as J said nerve test, might direct you better. The surgeon will make you get another one when you see him most likely but you may get better answers from a sports specialist. And I really like IAM. They are great folks.

Usually surgeons/ologists want you to get a referral to see them, I skip that step, and they ALWAYS cock off to me. Embarrassed the head urologist at S. Dale over my visit.

My joints are terrible this morning.

I could barely get up from the couch actually.

Point is, maybe whatever weather is affecting me Sean, is also making your injuries heal so much slower.

Just a thought.

Her that's good news.

It means it's environmentall and maybe not so permanent.

Hope the GP has your back.

See what I did there?

I love living 10 miles from drescols farms. We get some of the best strawberries for the cheap. Usually, about 8lbs for 10$.

Tell them to stop packing garbage. Can't believe how shitty their products they ship are. Nearly a fucking monopoly and are seriously awful. I am sure what you get locally isn't picked white and then gassed and shipped though.

Yeah I agree I was actually going to say that. It's pretty ridiculous how much of a difference from strawberries gotten locally here and back home. Even the out of season strawberries are better than the stuff we got in the Midwest.

I'll send ya a flat if you want

Accute pain humor FTW.

Usually can get one or two for about 8-10$

 

 

Never knew about him. Just Ferdinand.

Ferdinand passed a couple months ago. I adopted Pluto about a little over a month ago now.

Oh god Aaron. How did I not know????

DoD you say something and I forgot.

I think so. I will be worthless when Jack passes.

 

 

I thought I did in the rtms.

Probably Aaron. I'm just an insensitive self absorbed fuckface.

Doc: On a scale of 1-10 how bad is your pain?

Me: AR-10 in the mouth!

Feeling like shit today, but still got some cardio in and was able to shred the shoulders.

 

Almost feel like I have a stomach virus.

Not a fan of feeling like this, so I am going to relax until bed time.

Well shit then. Go for broke with insurance like that.

Take a vacation for 4 days and go check into the Mayo Clinic.

What does the price difference look like? Also do the antibiotics and hormones truly effect the taste and texture much?

I only ask because knowing my luck I will find corn fed beef that does not offer that.

Hope the search yields you something good J.

Appreciate it. I am hoping I can land a job that is closer to home, with an increase in pay, and finally fucking benefits.

Taking today to get ready for interviews since some places have called me to ask if I was interested.

That is my first suggestion, but Sean probably won't miss the work for it.

Probably Aaron. I'm just an insensitive self absorbed fuckface.

 

Wait what?  No, not at all.  I have a picture of him and I right before the end.

I wish I had been home when my mom had to put down my boxer from when I was a teenager. Some of the last pictures I have of him are with the DD 9512's I had purchased while I was deployed.
