CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

[Rootsruler]

I do feel blessed, no doubt. And don't get me wrong, I have some aches and pains from the job, but my back is in good shape. A few years ago, I broke a rib snowboarding and that's the only one that still bugs me on the regular.

I'm glad you were able to kick the painkillers. Those things are no joke and I've witnessed them drag several people down, even taking a couple out.

Other than my recent mishap I've also been lucky that way.

So weird about your snowboard incident. I had something similar happen to me but on skis. I was banging through a mogul field when one of my poles got caught on one of the moguls and stabbed me in the ribs. Hit it so hard the pole pushed through the rubber grip and I bent the pole. Didn't break a rib, I don't think, but the next morning it was almost impossible to get up or move around without feeling the pain. Never got it checked out but I'm guessing I bruised it pretty good or maybe tore a rib muscle. That shit took forever to heal to the point that when I'd get up out of bed I could do it on my own.

Ribs take a long time to heal. My dumbass took a hard slam with my arm down at my side. My boney ass elbow broke the rib. Took me a full six months before coughing no longer hurt. Now if I sleep wrong, it's sore all day. Lean over something and reach out... pain. It rarely bugs me but when it does, damn.

 

[ninjadip]

Ya'll got me in here feeling guilty. I'm pretty lucky to be in the shape I'm in after nearly 20 years working construction.

I'm still just a youngin', though, at nearly 35.

IDK if I missed it, how did the final round go this morning?

 

[MDK]

No joke on the ribs I avoid most doctors but I've been dealing with what I can only explain as a pain where it feels like the meat is ripping away from the rib....that's all i got for a description on it...I've found the motions that irritate it most and hop and skip around those movements

Yup! When I was in high school I was a gymnast my freshman year. My specialty was floor exercise and high bar. I was working on a trick on the high bar and got flung off doing giants with my hands in the wrong position. I remember flying through the air and the initial bang when I hit the floor. After I came to I had a cracked collarbone. Hurts when it gets really cold outside. Same with my rib. Not excruciating but every once in a while if I turn the wrong way I'll feel that annoying stab of pain just to remind me of my dumbassery.

Yesterday but I think it went really well. It was supposed to be an hour long and it took two. That's a long time to have four people grillin' ya.

They have a couple more interviews to conduct but I should hear the final decision in two weeks or so. It's out of my hands now so I can only be patient.

My buddy broke his collarbone when we were young and then again later. Once that one breaks, it's much easier to break the next time.

Halfway through the month so it's probably a good time to remind you all of the raffle going on. Only 4 slots left on a supersweet humidifier.

Yep, young bicycle, inattentive, Car, door opens, bike meets door, face hits widow, shoulder strikes pavement, only once though. Right through ball season too I had to wear a bra type unit pulling my shoulder back. Fkin painful to recover from, every time I'd move it hurt ouch, Trying to roll over at night, or get up. Glad I was young.

I had to wear that same brace. It was like wearing back pack straps.

Your description reminds me of my younger days pranking my buddies. Had a buddy in the car and as we're driving I scratch my driver side window and tell him "My window smells like chocolate. What does yours smell like?". He scratches his window and just as he puts his nose to the window I swerve the car and smash his face into the window. Not hard enough to cause a nose bleed or anything but I got a good laugh regardless.

I know....waddadik.......

Broke the ball joints off of both of my femur bones. I was like that for 8 months before Kaiser did total hip replacements. I ended up addicted to dilaudid through that little experience. The pain of dislocated hips (both) is intolerable with anything less. I have since dislocated one of my prosthetic hip joints. That is intense too, but in each instance I have managed to pop it back in before passing out from the pain. Done that half a dozen times in the last couple years.

 

[Rootsruler]

I'm afraid to ask but...how did you break the BJ's off of BOTH femurs? Dilaudid is no joke. That is some STRONG pain killer. Basically synthetic morphine.

Vascular necrosis

They lost blood supply and crumbled off.

Can you walk unassisted or are you confined to a wheelchair or crutches? Was it only to that area?

I used a walker until they were completely disintegrated. Then wheel chair until they replaced them with prosthetic. I can walk today. Very dark time in my life. That was 20 years ago. Doctors want to do a revision now because the prosthetic is past it’s estimated service life of 15 years and I’m now experiencing random dislocation. I won’t do it though because of the high risk of losing my leg. I have stents literally inside stents in both legs from peripheral artery disease. The risk of interrupting blood flow from a hip replacement surgery and getting gain green is too high for me. So I live with it until I can’t anymore.

 

[Moshmen]

I use my own bedding, but wasn’t gonna fess up to that, thanks Mosh..you have outed me!

I’m excited about the Oregon Grape. I loveeeee grape terps and taste. It’s supposedly a very old line.
I grew Blue Dream and Cement Shoes last round, and liked it so well that I repeated it this time.

If ya don’t mind me asking where u get the blue dream ( breeder) I’ve been looking for something close to old school blue dream ? But nothing yet

This is some really broken bunch here, it seems like one common thread through every person here!
I certainly started for mental relief (wife's illness and passing), increased for pain (decades long dumbfuckary), now enjoy being really small!

Very similar story, I waited for my left hip to be replaced for 11 years then 3 years in agony completely disabled on hydromophine and fenynal patches until they decided it was an emergency to replace my right hip.. I'm walking normal again but 14 years of misery and degrading health.

What they kept calling arthritis was actually degenerative bone disease. All the advice and physio help kept telling me to move, exercise keep active. I had a square block in a degraded round hole all moving did was inflame and cause me a lot of pain. They just shrugged their shoulders when I asked WTF and said they lump it altogether as Arthritis even though therapy for the 2 are completely different 14 fkin years then its an emergency....free though.

This is exactly why I will try some crazy measures before giving in to a medical doctor. They had rather treat the symptoms than take care of the problem..it keeps one coming back and they get richer. In the meantime we become addicted to the poison that lines the pockets of big pharma.
Heres a shocker for ya:

What is pharmakeia in the Bible?​

The Greek word pharmakeia appears in Galatians 5:20 and Revelation 18:23. Terms from the same root word appear in Revelation 9:21, Revelation 21:8, and Revelation 22:15. These are typically translated into English as “sorcery,” “witchcraft,” or “sorcerer.” Ancient Greek uses of pharmakeia closely mirror the generic modern English word drugs ; the same Greek root word produced English terms such as pharmacy and pharmacist.

Modern use of the word sorcery evokes images of supernatural power and spells; biblical use of pharmakeiadoesn’t fit well with such ideas. Rather, the term suggests various forms of drug abuse. Those might include drug use in pagan worship, as an addiction, or as a poison used to manipulate and control others.

Here they are Bandaid Drs. they want to give you a pill and come back next week. But now after the Bug is phone call diagnostics and medical advice rather than in person health care. We can see a Dr if we have to but they'd rather we just go and sit in Emergency for hrs & hrs than actually see us.

I had a recent issue and I suffered through a long weekend . I called on the Tuesdays early, he did call back that day and when I said you gotta see this see this he said " I don't want to see it go to emergency" in the valley because thats where your specialist are located. He prescribed pills

Stay safe

 

[Pipecarver]

Stay safe

If it comes down to it the safest place is in my grow room. that's next to my under ground garage. We can hunker down in here or inside our car. I'm thinking only wind and power outages though, its just rolling the dice as to who loses power around here. I have a full generator and extra gas so we should be fine, I just have to run around plugging things into extension cords

I hear you brother. My first symptoms were around June 2002, had an MRI two months later in July and received a diagnosis of vascular necrosis. They tried drilling holes up through my femurs to the hip joints in an attempt to restore blood flow. Didn’t work and the heads died and crumbled off. Fed me dilaudid until February 2003 when I had the left replaced. A month later they replaced the right. If they didn’t do the surgeries when they did I don’t know how much longer I could have endured without ending my life. I never got to that point looking back on it but I also think it probably wouldn’t have been much longer. I came through it as a stronger person I think. But it was tuff.
