I think you can quit sending rain here to the Midwest Dj.  I have to empty the rain guage after almost every rain, and its been doing this for the last 3 weeks.  I guess it beats the alternative  normal hot and dry August.


Glad to hear you're doing well

[ACUDANUT]

Well, the bright side is the Farmers crops are looking good.  The price of everything else reflects a good crop.

[Fred]

We're having our first really cold and wet day today since winter started. It's been an easy winter to deal with so far and there's only 3 weeks to go. No complaints.

[tsmithae]

Just when things were going well again and I could run a 22min 5k, I had a 500+ lb case dropped on my leg while setting up for a festival... now I can barely walk and am in constant pain.  I have already had 3 prior surgeries on this knee and I am just hoping I don't have to go in for #4... ugh. 

[JB400]

That's not good news.   Have you had it checked out yet?

[tsmithae]

It's a WC issue... I can't get anyone to give me a claim number so I can schedule an Appt with a Dr. 

[Fred]

Some people sure do cop the brunt of life while other people just sail through it without so much as a hiccup.

Sorry to hear of your woes. Hope you're on top of it again real soon.

[ACUDANUT]

Sorry about leg. Running is hard on the back and knees and will lead to total failure. Have you thought about getting on a bicycle ?

[tsmithae]

Some people do get the brunt of life and Ive accepted that I'm one of them...

I spent about 5 years on the bike and just took up running this year and found it very therapeutic and relaxing.  Now I'm back to crutches.

THIS.  Running is something that many of us can't do for an extended period of time.  I stopped pounding on my body with running and got on a road-bike; much less of an impact on the body for sure...

[tsmithae]

And I will most likely wind up on the bike again but for now I can't do much at all... I'm just trying not to let it get to me.

[burnout.dawg]

It's a WC issue... I can't get anyone to give me a claim number so I can schedule an Appt with a Dr. 

Don't wait for the claim number. Get your leg checked out. Tell the doctors what happened and they can get the claim number for you. As long as you reported the accident to your employer, you shouldn't have to wait for a claim number to seek medical attention.

[tsmithae]

I wound up going to an ER just to get pain meds. In Illinois you can choose your physician but some of them won't do appointments without a claim #.

ER sent me home with a knee immobilizer, crutches, and some of the good stuff.

[JB400]

At least you went.

If you're looking to keep busy, join in some of the game threads here. They will keep your mind occupied for hours if you want.  
we're all here for you.

[tsmithae]

Anytime you can get out of the house for any reason is always good.  I am still laid up with that knee issue and have been making myself lay out in a hammock every day that it's not raining.  I go to a coffee shop (granted, you may not have access to one depending upon where you are) a few times a week; I try to entertain friends and have people over for dinner; I do a trivia night with friends once a week, etc. etc.  I hope some of this helps ya DJ and as always, we're always here on DC.com, even if we are a weird bunch!

Going to a coffee shop or any public place and being around people is a good idea.  Even if you're not directly interacting with people, just being around them as they live their lives will allow you to feel as if you're doing the same.  Besides, people watching can be fascinating at times...

Start something positive in your area...

Here's an idea...

https://www.facebook.com/CCIApayitforward

My wife, Peg, has been diagnosed with a Mast Cell disease.  This idea has given her 'life' even if she isn't able to do it all herself.  She is one of the leaders of this site and provides daily challenges for others, as well as herself.  She can then read about others and how this site is impacting the community.   In short, this site has given her 'purpose' when her disease has taken much away....   

Give and it shall be given unto you... 

May the LORD Bless You All!!

I have been struggling a lot lately. My back surgery was great, I had lost 20 pounds walking every night, then thy physical therapist fucked me all up. I have the same and sometimes worse symptoms as before, I am getting more and more broke as I don't make near what I was, I don't see an end, and sometimes I wake at 4:00 in the god damn morning due to pain... I don't have any kids, wife, or GF. All my family is in Utah. I have four or five friends here locally, yet they are all married and doing their own thing. Sometimes when I wake up at four, I take some oxi do try and go back to sleep and I really REALLY consider take a whole bunch and just drifting off. I really don't know that many would miss me and sometimes, I even wonder how long it would take for anyone to notice. There's only two people on this earth that I don't want to hurt, but I don't know that that's enough anymore... I think the end may be near for me... Call it chicken shit, call it whatever you want. But tomorrow is NOT going to be a better day for me, and neither is next week... I've been telling myself that shit way to long. Then it finely does get better, and the very people that are supposed to be helping me are the ones that throw me back down. I guess we'll see what happens...

[C_stripes]

It's a WC issue... I can't get anyone to give me a claim number so I can schedule an Appt with a Dr. 

Get in and get it going. My back is also a workers comp deal... They take for ever and make you jump through hoop after hoop... But be sure to do it... I will probably be fighting them for a long time, if I continue to deal with this shit. If you have your own health insurance, have them get involved. That's what I did. And once they send you out for physical therapy, be sure you go to someone very reputable and if they have apprentices working there, make for damn sure they are being watched. My guy was an apprentice and no one was watching him and my backs as bad or worse than prior surgery, and this parts not covered by workers comp. I grew up in a family that doesn't believe in suing people or business, but this may be a reason to do so...

I wish you luck

[burnout.dawg]

If you haven't talked to your physician...you need to now. Tell him everything you just posted here. If you don't have a lawyer...you might want to check into that too. You should not have to live with this pain. And I think your surgery should be corrected at the therapists expense. As if your physical pain isn't enough, your pain meds could also be contributing to your depression.
I am not a physician, psychologist or attorney, but I am willing to be a friend...PM me anytime.
