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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Man, you are one tuff fellow! Any idea what caused the vascular necrosis?

The biggest contributor was Alcohol. I think the prior 15 years of standing on steel deck plates aboard ships was also a factor. I gave the alcohol up with the diagnosis of vascular necrosis. But to all you young folk out there. You are not invincible and you cannot party your life away. It will catch up to you ten fold. I’m a walking testament to that.

Mad Respect Bro!🫡
 
Seems we have all taken some pretty good licks! Shows we have lived! All still standing to talk about it today. At least we know we are for sure not alone in our physical struggles and many of you have overcome some hard odds!
Here’s to you my bud smokin survivor buddies!
Who knows what our tomorrow convos may bring.
 
Good morning all!!!
About to go on a big hike, 10+ miles, called Old Rag in the Shenandoah valley here in VA. Only trail around that has a daily capacity due to how long it takes when it is overcrowded on the rock climbing sections.

Will post pictures later

I def feel for everyone here and their ailments.. we might not be invincible but at times we feel infinite, or at times our energy transcends the universe so to say.

Even as I get older, mentally I feel better, more at peace, even as my body slowly fails

I hope everyone really enjoys their time with others this weekend!!

Stay safe out there and enjoy the views.
 
After our first 'heat wave' last week we get morning temps in low 50's upper 40's.
Second time yesterday arriving to frozen metal roof. It was 45 degrees in Grand Gorge!
It finally melted at 9:30 ~!:rolleyes:

Holy cow, same thing here.
I started going downhill during an eco-challenge in New Zealand in 2004. Both hips replace in 2006.
That was a tough 2 years. Bone on bone pain for 2 years aged me significantly.

Yup, same one I just bought! I looked at them til I was cross eye and settled on this one. Should be here on the 21st. I liked the way it was made so you could actually have a practical place for my arms to rest.
I’m really happy with the way it seems to catch and gather the trichs. Let me know what you think, when you finally get to use it.
