• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

As most of you know from the news reports, yesterday had a reported 80 tornadoes throughout the MidWest, from Alabama all the way through KY, IN, & OH. Teddy and I send out our :pray: to all those effected, cause their is so much destruction & sadly, so many losses of life as well. Even the county we live in, Kenton County in KY was heavely hit in the southern part of the county and we were lucky as we live in the most northern part of the county & had no damage that Im aware of. :pray: Im watching the news now & they just reported about finding a man dead in the streets, but they can't locate his home :yikes:

Not trying to be funny but they may have to look in the next county for that persons home. We had a roof removal from a home about 1 mile away. AND a huge old oak tree went over hiway 68 kinda messed up traffic for awhile. No other damage areound here that I know of. My prayers are going out to all those who have lost loved ones and or their homes, or both.
 
Waiting to hear when your injection is scheduled. Praying it works for you and get you through the summer and then if surgery s needed maybe be able to do it in winter. 😃
 
UGH!!!! C'mon already

Ok, so when I last talked with the orthopedic surgeon, we agreed to try the injection & if that didn't provide relief, we'd opt for surgery. They said they'd call me once they got approval from my insurance company. After 2 days of waiting & not hearing anything, I called them back & was then told it could take up to a week to two weeks to get approval from the insurance company. I explained once again that I can't even walk & can't wait thaf long. So I asked if I just opted for surgergy, could I get that done sooner. She told me that would be something I'd have to discuss with the doctor, so I asked if I could speak with the doctor & was told I'd have to schedule a new appointment. So now I'm. Waiting til wednesday to see the doctor again to see if we can just do surgery cause I can't stand to just keep laying here :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
If their try'n to drive me Crazy, I think its safe to say they have succedded

Got a robo-call from the company that handels our disability claims this morning, explaining that they recieved my paper work, but that it wasn't acceptable because my GP wouldn't put a "projected" return to work date & instead put "To Be Determained". So now, I have to have all the same paperwork filled out by my Orthopedic Surgeon & wait for them to get it turned in before my disability can even start :banghead: :banghead::banghead:
 
Do you mind if I ask how much the shot/s would be if the insurance doesn't pay? I'm thinking in terms of being able to get the shot/s sooner than surgery.

Some doctors may not charge as much knowing you are paying. I go to a dr. now who charges me a reduced rate b/c I pay; however, it's not for my back.

Once you are given the shots could you then try for reimbursement?
 
Finally, some good news . . . . . if you can call it that

The Ortho's office just called & said that the surgeon was able to look at the MRI images & that I was in fact a candidate for surgery & that if I can get in to see my GP & get a full physical done & she agreed I was healthy enough to go under, that they could get me on the schedule for this Friday :bowdown: I know I should be happy & in a way, I am, but also a little scared/apprehensive at the same time. So I called my GPs office & explained everything & they are working me in tomorrow at 3:15 for the physical, then see the surgeon on Wednesday for all the details & if all is still on track, surgery will be on Friday :yes:

Not something I even thought about asking & right now, it wouldn't matter anyways as Im now on my 3rd week of being off work with no pay coming in at all. The surgeon says im a candidate for surgery & after talking with so many others that have been through similar, seems its best to get it actually fixed instead of just putting a band-aid on it, so to speak. Thanks for your suggestion tho :bowdown:
 
Glad the doctor isn't monkeying around. And thank goodness you had a clear indication of the problem on your MRI. Best of luck with the surgery. I hope it gives you immediate relief.
 
Hey Dave and Teddy
Keeping you in my prayers as Friday finally arrives for you and you are able to get this behind you, so to speak...:roflblack: Seriously, I hope this works out the best for you and you have a very quick and easy recovery and are back out on the roads again real soon.
Please keep up posted on your visits with the doctors and of course how you are on Friday. Everyone will be praying for you, I'm sure.:pray:
 
So glad it is finally working for you. Getting it done early rather than later is best for you. You may be up and around sooner than you think. Just follow doctors orders and keep us posted. I will keep you in my prayers. Never can tell you might still be able to do Spyderfest. ☀
 
Glad things are finally moving in the right directions. Will keep you and Teddy in my thoughts, hope everything goes well for you and you end up free of pain:yes::clap: Hope all goes well for you
 
Almost didn't pass my pre-surgery physical today

Today I had a 3:15 appointment with my GP to get a pre-surgury phisical to make sure that I shouldn't have any complications from going under for the operation. I only took my morning pain meds & skipped my lunch pain pills cause I knew I needed to be as sober as possible for the ryde to the doctors. Well, it only seems logical (at least to me) that a person in my condition that isn't medicated, well, DUH, their gonna be in pain, right :dontknow: and how does pain usually manifest in the human body :hun: Elevated blood pressure, elevated heart rate, cold sweats even :dontknow: So yeah, she was concerned cause my bp & heart rate was way high for me compared to my historical norms, think something like 134/112 & 90 bpm, so she wanted to do an EKG just to make sure, but the nurse was having problems get'n those lil sticky things to stick to my skin cause I was kinda sweat'n something feirce from the pain of get'n on the byke & back off & walk'n to the drs office from the parking lot. And YES it was 55 degrees & sunny, so yeah, I geared up Teddy & we rode, only the 2nd time now in the past 3 weeks. After the EKG she said she knew I must be in an awful lot of pain, cause everything showed ok on the EKG & she gave me the "Go Ahead" for the surgery. :bowdown: So my next appointment is tomorrow for my consult with the surgeon to go over everything for Friday. For right now, Im drugged up pretty good & Teddy was happy to get back out in the wind again, so he's sleeping right by my side as I type this. All the nurses & even my dr. was happy to see the lil guy :yes:
 
Dave, you are one tuff hombre. :doorag:

Glad they finally figured out how bad off you are. The end of your pain is near...
