NS : Sick ,sore, lame & disabled
I just wanted to get a census -
How many people ( other than me ) have
some un-cureable illness or broken bones?
I can't help but notice everybody's next
one having diabetes, HIV, menengitis, walking with crutches or a cane, or even
the common cold. What's gonin' on here?
Check out the CDC's website :
<b>www.CDC.gov </b>
What say the augurers?
AET

Well here goes.
Most of this is job related
Sore hands,maybe Athur I Tus is starting to visit me
Lower back pain that travels into leg,pinched nerve I belive because it has gotton some better over the last year
Left knee pain if I keep in bent or straight for a long time
Upper back and hip pain,strained I think because of new smaller forklifts.Just started after we got them and has not completely gone away since.
None of this is bad enough that Motrin won't take care of except the lower back pain,as I said it is better now than what it was but for about 8 months 2 years ago after getting up from a seated position it would take me 30 to 40 steps to straighten all the way up.

Ditto grg,Glad your here ! Also Ditto on the Skin Grafts (compound fractures)Before The Ti Rod had plates they broke so they put the Rod in.Atleast the rod made my legs the same length again.(No Limp)still Surf but its gett'n harder to pop up on the Board.I'm afraid if I slow down I tighten up in a ball.

Over the course of my teenage years and years on the job:
1. Two broken right knuckles.
2. Broken rt. finger (next to pinkie)
3. Broken rt. pinkie finger.
4. Broken left wrist (on the job)
5. Spinal/cervical injury that pains me to this day (also on the job, took a punch to the side of head. Luckily, head is very thick, lol).
6. Feet/back/knee pain from standing on concrete floor all day. The heels and bottoms of my feet are literally numb from the standing.
7. Various bruises/bumps/contusions from being beaten/kicked/punched/elbowed on the job.
Other than that, I've led a very cushy life. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Show me your 'fly. Not that one- your Dragonfly!

i have a really bad knee.. should go under the knife next month <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
other than that i never broke any bones or anything.. i know i'm only 21 but i already have quite an impressive accident record.. i fell out of the second floor, got hit by a car twice, an elevator fell on me (don't ask :D ), a half ton door closed on me.. not to mention a few good kicks to the face & ribs (kickboxing & full contact can do that).
& the list is miles long <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Dear Allen,
As I always said, I am a God spoiled child. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I have never had severe injuries. When I was 18, I lifted a heavy stone and I made a small hernia (at least this is what the doctor told me. I was hoping that this will save me from the military service, but it didn't) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> However, I made some exercises and looks like the tissue regenerated without the need for an operation. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I had a pretty active and healthy life, working in the forest and my diet hardly sees any meat, but lots of veggies - though I must confess that I have a (very) weak spot for chocolate and stuff like this <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> - so I didn't experienced severe overweight (a funny thing is that when I was in the army I gained weight in a way I can call spectacular: 2 pounds every week, so in three month I was so fat that my own aunt didn't recognize me, imagine that). It was all solved after another 6 month in the army, maybe my body regained its regular pace. I still like to make a lot of sport, I don't drink (not even Coke or similar) nor smoke, so I can't complain much of my health status (a cold, a sore throat or sporadic pains in my knees and back. Headaches seems to be a problem though, could be because of those **** computers I spend 10 ÷ 16 hours a day in front of). <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> And yes, when I drink coffee, my heart goes boom, but I guess it's normal for someone who drinks a cup a week.
Yet, I had my share about 5 years ago, when I was sooo close to kick the bucket. I suddently became very ill, dizzy and very weak and my skin turned green (no joke, it really was mud green, looks like I didn't need any camouflage paint on my face and body <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and my eyes were an intense yellow instead of white. Spent a couple of months in the hospitals, 4 perfusions a day, antibiotics, anyway the doctors never figured exactly what it was, as the results of the analysis were showing that I'm OK, but hey, it's Romania, I know some stories about our medical service that would give you the creeps.
Well, to make a long story short, they finally let me go as most of my green tan was off and I was feeling pretty good. And from that day forth, nothing out of the ordinary. This is one of the many reasons I praise God <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

JDEE, My Uncle was a poster child for Polio
in the 40's or 50's (don't remem which)
He still uses Elbow crutches. He's a teacher in Jersey. He also designed one of the first "Hands-only driving rigs for automobiles".
Everything was situated around the steering wheel, throttle, etc.I'm a firm believer in, what does not kill you only makes you stronger.
Be it mental or physical, I will survice it.
