Just kidding...well, I do have it, but it's not up for auction. It would be really wrong to bust in on Phil's racket, er, business like that. ;)

If you don't feel good, don't try to be a hero, we all go through times when we just have to lay back and recover, let the people you have taken care of return the favor and take care of you while you are in need. Every time I've been kicked in the ass, the hardest part was to admit I needed help, but I did and I got it and it allowed me to recover and later thank my close family for the help they gave me. My wife had a stroke and we all had to help her during her rehabilitation therapy, and she went from helpless to almost normal from her determination and some great therapists advice and patience.
We don't get to be John Wayne all the time. What makes us human and different from our animal friends is the love we have for our injured and sick, and the effort we make to learn how to make them well. A pack of animals will abandon the injured and weak, a tendency that only appears in humans during the job feeding frenzy at most job environments.

I'm sure your therapist will overlook this, but shallow bodies only during recovery. You will need a note from your doctor before you can play mid or deep bowls. (The thinner the bowl, the less strain on your mid section.)
P.S. Yes, I do have a doctorate in Ovation therapy! |

Your brain is working and is sharp as ever, I pity the poor PT guy who is just trying to make a living and is suddenly thrust into the netherworld of OFC through no fault of his own. How the s--- can he give pt with his head in a vice and some guy saying "bring it on goomba- give me your your best shot you Taylor loving uke freak- take 12 strings and show me some thing besides a Doctor who can't even do a friggin Jerry Bird swamp thang".
Poor guy, we had years to adjust and he's suddenly thrown into it.
No friggin accordian songs here, although I did trade a '36 chevy for a 120 bass accordian when I was 15, and Johnny and I played it a lot.

bailey
went to pt yesterday. after about 30 minutes of examination, the bozo says. Your muscles are very tight.
my reply " like i needed you to tell me that"
after threatening me with hurting me if I did not do the exercises I said "are you sure you have a license"
puzzled he replied "yes why?"
I said "just checking so I know who to sue...."
3 times a week for a month? this is going to be a long month |

when i went into the ER they shot me with a pain killer that did NOTHING about an hour and a half later they gave me a shot of morphine. it was everything Lou Reed and William S Burroughs ever said it was.
can you hook me up?
I asked the therapist and he refused.... |

Have you ever used Dilaudid(Hydromorphone)?
A 2mg tablet of Hydromorphone has the same pain killer effect of 10 mg of morphine. Hey, if this thread keeps going in this direction we may have to create "The Oxycontin Fan Club". Do you think Miles will go for it? :eek: :D :cool:

Now what would you pay!?!
(can someone tell me why dyphenhydramine and pseudoephedrine have an hallucinogenic effect? Man, this is a fun day...) |

Al - send me your best early Adamas with a cutaway and I'll send you a prescription for Oxycontin, Dilaudid, morphine...whatever. I'm not a pharmacist, but I'll write you a prescription ;) |

You forgot to tell Al that drugs are cheaper in Canada too :D :cool: . I know this because im in the biz. This is no ancient chinese secret.
Does anyone remember that old commercial for Calgon dish washing liquid with the chinese girl? I was only about 12 years old at the time and I remember thinking that girl was really funny looking.

Oddly enough, just thinking about that commercial has triggered a laughing fit. Well, that and the cow-orker who is loudly proslytizing about the importance of an annual prostate exam. I suppose if I had a hot woman doctor like he does...
see, now I can't stop laughing again...sheesh.

I knew it was Calgon "something". When that commercial hit the airways it was a topic of discussion at many family gatherings.We all thought "Aye Ya" is that the best that these american companies could do for a representative for their product. I just remembered she had very big goofy looking eyes and a big mouth. I guess it prolonged the Charlie Chan buck tooth type of stereotype of chinese people.That is why people in my family didn't like the ad.

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Phil, you're one letter away from my brother's and sister's name: Kong. When my mother remarried, it was to a Chinese Jamaican named Leslie Kong; any of you OFCers into reggae may have heard of him. He was a music producer who worked with such artists as Millie Small, Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, and Bob Marley (when he was "Bob Marley and the Wailers").
It was through my stepfather that I met Paul Simon, who let me fool around with his guitars when he came down to Jamaica. My mother got to meet the Rolling Stones (I was back in Canada at the time, dammit!), who got them to autograph their Sticky Fingers album for me; Keith Richards signed it "Y-fronts Inc., Keith Richards" inside the zipper on the album cover. |

When I had physical therapy with Brunhilde, Sweetheart of the Waffen SS, after my knee replacement, both my doc and Brunhilde told me to take a Dilaudid thirty to forty-five minutes before therapy "for breakthrough pain." They said that without it, I wouldn't be able to work as hard and the therapy wouldn't be as effective. Maybe you can get the same deal. It never hurts to ask.
Get well soon.
Peace,
John |

I have a chinese man through a friend who had an accent that I could not recognize at first. I did not want to be rude and ask him about his accent. A few months went by and then during a game of raquetball he yelled "Oh Man" and I realized his accent was Jamaican. As it turns out there is a large chinese population in Jamaica. |

I'm going thru PT now as well with my knee replacement - 2x/week. The pain is incredible and they seem to know when to stop by the fact that my eyes are filling up with tears. I agree with the pain med idea 1 hr. B4 you go in. It really helps. |
