I know I've been absent from the meetings, not wheeling, not on the forum, barely on FB.
There are only a few people that know what's been going on, so here's the skinny.
The first week in May of 2015 I injured my back at work. 3 weeks later my grandmother passed. 2 days later my aunt passed. [emoji174] [emoji24] These were some very special people to me. It has taken quite some time to get right with things.
Within weeks my back injury was worse, and eventually interfered with nearly every aspect of life. It slowly declined further since then. I'm at the point now that I don't drive the jeep at all, since I can't get into the driver seat.[emoji35] My wife drives it a little, as does my son, but I'm to jealous to let them out in it to much.
I missed last deer, duck, turkey, quail seasons because I don't think I can handle the rifle or shotgun recoil,and I can't take the standing&walking for long periods.[emoji35] I missed most of the fishing from not being able to climb in/out of my boat, sit in the bad seat very long, or the hassle of loading it. No driving the ARGO since I can't climb in/out of it. [emoji35]
At this point I'm still trying to get the Workers Comp Dr to quit telling me it's a pulled muscle [emoji243] [emoji90] [emoji23] , and the pain is from getting fat&lazy over the past year+ that I've been out of work. I'm apparently not doing anything at all.
The pain has progressed from a pinch in my back to shooting down my leg into my foot. [emoji95][emoji298]
I'm not asking for a pity party, though I will take prayers! I just thought it was time to let everyone know what was up since several people have ask lately.
To cover the obvious questions....
:Yes I have a lawyer, so I'm following his advise.
:Yes I'm stuck with this Dr as long as workers comp is in charge.
:Yes I've seen 3 Dr's, same opinion, same treatment. Throw pills at it[emoji381] , and therapy. They act suprised that repeating treatment doesn't yield different results only makes it worse.
