give me some good words brohans (1 Viewer)

[fatness]

brohans i really appreciate the nice words i guess now i feel embarassed because my post comes across as whoa is me and i didnt intend to do that more i was looking for advice from others who have dealt with bodies just flat breaking down and how the deal but all the same i am really humbled by all of the kind words i mean it thanks gang anyhow so they think a disc did something at a level they have already operated on to be specific l45 or l5s1 and now it is impacting the nerve root on the right side which is funny because everything for years has been left sided anyhow i let my guys know i am out for our end of year fishing trip in the driftless which stinks but the trout will be there come spring i go back for a complete mri of my hips and then one of my lumbar spine on thursday so basically i am single handedly keeping the greater milwaukee brewtown medical industry afloat anyhow reading these this morning sort of did exactly what you guys tried to do and picked me up and i appreciate it take that to the bank brohans

Some of this is familiar to me, as is the overall "I keep going downhill" trend and trying to deal with it.

2019 -- in an instant I completely lost my natural sense of balance. After that I had to hang onto things or at least touch a wall or furniture to be sure I was steady. No tests ever revealed a cause. Obviously I had to re-learn how to walk again, using sensory stuff instead of relying on an internal gyroscope that was lying to me. My brain would be screaming "lean left, you're gonna fall, lean left now" when my eyes and feet told me I was OK. So I was gradually doing that but...

...Learning to walk again has gotten interrupted a million times. My legs started swelling which made walking harder, and just to make it more fun I started losing feeling in my legs. I changed blood pressure medications which let the swelling gradually go down. I got numerous tests done, among them being an MRI of my lower spine, and when I reviewed the results with the neurologist I could not see how I had any ability at all to move my legs. My spinal cord was just squashed, in the L4 - L5 -S1 area. Saw a neurosurgeon quickly who said I needed surgery ASAP. Got the results reviewed by a second neurosurgeon who agreed, got all the pre-op tests you have to get to prove to them that you won't die during surgery, and finally had spinal fusion on 8/15/22. They removed parts of 3 vertebrae, removed part of some discs, and bolted my 3 vertebrae together since they might be too weak after surgery to support me. I would have been in a wheelchair in 1-3 months had I not had surgery.

Since then it's been dealing with random nerve pains (some of which left me screaming in pain) , physical therapy, getting injured twice during physical therapy, severe hip pain requiring an injection, muscle atrophy and weakness in both legs, severe knee pain requiring an injection, failed attempts at walking as far as I used to, getting "graduated" from physical therapy, and trying to treat myself at home with just an elliptical machine and a treadmill.

I miss fishing really bad. I fished a whole lot for 25 years or so from shorelines or while wading, walked where I shouldn't walk, and did most of it with one dog, and then after she died with another dog. I can no longer fish. And I can no longer be a dog owner living up to how I think a dog should be treated -- taking them places and doing stuff with them. I'm not optimistic about how things will go for me, but on the other hand it's been a bunch of years of bad mobility and I've only had 2 mornings where my first thought, literally, was "I don't want to be awake today", and I just left those thoughts sit there and didn't feed them. And I'm still trying. Not succeeding much, but trying.

Your post isn't "woe is me". It's a man dealing with some serious problems that can unexpectedly define his life. Take every test seriously, and every test result, and review them with more than 1 person if you're in doubt. MRI's see so much more than X-rays do, and you need to sit down with a doctor who will slide by slide review them so you understand what your situation is. And if you think it's necessary review them with with a second doctor.

You're a good man going through a tough situation with no guarantee of success. I wish you the best. Keep doing the best you can do.

*blows out* Please don't respond in the thread about me or my health. Please. This is @SWC 's topic.

Didn't come across as "woe is me". Sometimes just a couple words can help lighten the load. But nobody will know unless you say something.
Stay tough. Good luck.

had been working on a theory that @SWC was, in fact, American Pickers own Frank Fritz

so when i heard Frankie passed, i worried that we'd lost swc, too.


back to the drawing board

That's a good picture of the board.

And I'm glad you were wrong there!

 

[TennesseeJed]

Hey @SWC - this thread reminds me of an event I was at with Man of Constant Sorrow several years ago - when someone said "take that to the bank!" we both turned to each other and said "SWC!"

Of course he said "Swisser" and I said "S-W-C" - but the point was that we both immediately thought of you!

You have an amazingly positive attitude and outlook - and you have lifted the spirits of many people - both here, and I am sure in real life - so, know that many are sending you good wishes and doing our best to lift your spirts.

And you can take that to the bank, bromigo!

 

[General Malaise]

Today on my train ride I was listening to a local sports radio show podcast from yesterday and one of the fellas names Big Suke who is a dang funny man was arguing that Frankie Lindor of his loveable Mets was the true MVP for carrying his team on his old crickitee back and he closed out his argument by saying THAT'S an MVP and "TAKE THAT TO THE BANK" and I got all smiled up ear to ear and thought of you and thought of this thread and meant to reach out to you directly yesterday with good words but this was a sign from a cosmic force that I was meant to post this story in here and you can bank on that my friend

Funny. In my head, it's "swasser" (phonetically) like "the 'ol swasser" when I read his posts.

Your friend is spot on. Lindor should be the MVP. Ohtani was phenomenal but unless it's a Bonds-level season he shouldn't win MVP if he provides no fielding value.

That's what I assumed it was. But, again, in my head (my own internal dialog) it's "swasser."

This isn't uncommon. A few of the guy I've met from here pronounce my name "Woze" (long "o") or "Wuze" (long "u" - which I frankly don't get that one) when it's Woz (short "o" - like Oz with a w in front).

I did also think it was a reference to the SouthWest Conference, which now that I think about it doesn't make sense with our GBs location

At one point my signature or bio said something along the lines of "President of the SWC fan club".

You are still one of my favorites @SWC and I hate that you are suffering.

Serious suggestion is to look into a plant based diet. My wife is a runner who has had 4 knee surgeries and swears it has prolonged her running career. Also have a friend with type 2 diabetes that was near death until he started eating 100% plant based diet.

I don't join my wife fully, but I've been a health beneficiary of her meal plans, grocery shopping and cooking. Whatever you can do to eat a lot more vegetables and cut out sugars and processed food, the better. Probably not a fix all in your case, but would likely help.

OK, I think that means your disc is protruding into the spinal column in a way that's off-center (not in the middle of the vertebrae/disc), and is interfering with a nerve root. Interfering with the nerve root is probably why your right leg is acting the way it's acting. I did some reading here, and while it's on a site that is there to promote a business, it's kind of detailed and explained well.

What's the follow-up for you? See the surgeon again in X weeks and talk over whether surgery is needed, or maybe physical therapy? Physical therapy, by the way, was a big help to me before and after spinal surgery. Lowers recovery time. I'd go 52 weeks a year if Medicare would keep paying for it but alas...

And I think I might understand the "crunchy" feeling a bit. I've got some permanent nerve damage in my right foot, and sometimes it feels like there's carbonated water just below the surface of my skin. When that happens things get a bit numb. Some damage to the spinal cord (and what parts of the body that part of the spinal cord affects) can be permanent and some can take up to 18 months to self-repair after surgery according to both of my neurosurgeons.

Physical stuff is going in a bad direction for you BUT you're on it, you're talking to neurosurgeons and footballguys so you've got beaucoup expert support, you're paying close attention to your body, you're doing what you need to investigate and find the problem, and then to try to fix it. If I can help at all, let me know. You probably walk better than I do right now, so in the bar the chicks will be hitting on you, not me.

so if you follow along with the old swcer you know that i am a walking medical case had my second major back surgery in may for left leg issues like drop foot and was going along just fine until yesterday when all of the sudden my right side and leg just lost strength and i cant walk or put weight on it so go in this morning because in addition to the two back surgeries i also have two fake hips so it could be anything long story short i am off my feet again a week before i was supposed to be on a trout fishing trip so that is cancelled now too i mean i had a lot of fun playing a lot of sports and doing a lot of construction and tool machine shop work back in the day but probably lived a little harder than i should have and now i am supposed to be at the age where i get to slow down and enjoy the hobbies i want to enjoy mostly hiking and standing in a river waiving a stick instead of working for everyone else and asking how high when they say jump but instead since covid i have had a heart attack and two back surgeries and the wheels just seem to be falling off how do other brohans who have been through this crap deal with it and keep your mind right i am sober and will not take pain pills so i live on ibuprofen and hope jeez louize give me some good words to get my mind right take that to the bank brochachos

Sending Prayers Brother. Keep your mind right. Especially at the bank.

My advise would be to take the pain pills. That's why God invented them.

i have been totally sober now since my heart attack in 20 and that includes narcotics so ibuprofen yes hard stuff no take that to the bank brohan

Your basketball knowledge is pretty bad but otherwise you’re a good guy. I think if you hate a little less on the two special people that I personally happen to like - then thing will naturally get better cause Karmic Jazz and the bank sing sweet a duet together.

Really though, thinking of you and saying a little prayer. Hope it works!

Get well soon FBG

You’re easily one of my favorite posters on here. You’re funny and very classy. Hope you recover soon.
