Maggie’s What's Your View II

The end of a busy fall season is here. Lots of fishing in August followed by all the guests we get during moose season. Ready for some solitude as ice should start running in the river soon and winter will take over.

I did that to a dickhead of a paramedic once.

I was a firefighter and drove the ambulance to the city as they needed 2 to attend the patient. 47 miles each way, easy if no traffic or snow.
He had a paramedic student, so I drove instead of helping in the back.

He then thought I should ride in the back on the way home. I said no and drove with him in the back.
You see, he was getting paid and I gave up a couple hours of my time as part of the glorious life of a jolly volly.

He was bright enough to lip off a fair amount about how he knew so much more than the nurses and they were just stupid, lazy, and couldnt hack life as a medic. I waited till he was standing up and did a swerve/brake move to “miss a deer”.
The student was in front with me and always loved that as he was truly an asshat.
He was fired a year or two later for gross negligence.
Left a short experienced EMT in the back on a 60+ minute transport with an elderly guy from sea level with palpitations and chest pains (pain resolved with oxygen, still terrible judgement).
 
Now I gotta go snatch up the sharpies from the untrustworthy Trustees!

We got ourselves a bonafide patent infringement going on. Poor Bastard on his way in gonna be styling! ?

It was beautiful Sunday this weekend.
Going to be a shit show from now on. Not looking forward to a wet muzzleloader season.
I’m off all next week. Going to run around and try to kill a bull.


I hear ya Moose !! We gonna get wet !! Just knocked out what I'm guessing to be the last mow of the year, and now gotta treat the decks. I'm pretty certain this is my last chance to get it done.

And speaking of get it done, good luck with the smoke pole. I know you and your buddies got your regular spots you're gonna go chase Elk at, but I'm just say'n, you can't cougar around from Mile Post 37-38 to around 39 up around the South Palix Road and not kill a Bull. I know for a fact there are at least 7 legal Bulls right there. They're hanging there every damn night. I seen 5 one night and all 7 just about a week ago. They got next to nothing regarding pressure on them during Bow Season.

Have a great hunt and looking forward to your kill pic !!!

I hear ya. Just got my last mow in on Monday.
Not looking forward to what winter is going to bring.

Lol yeah we got a couple bulls we are going to go after up falls river. One I guess is a dandy, the other is just a rag horn. Should be a good season anyway. My one buddy has a cow tag, so that should be a slam dunk.
I may venture down around that area later in the week. Going to miss one day to head up to a spine and neck specialist ?. Hoping he doesn’t want to slice on me.

Make sure he's not an ortho. Get yourself a neuro surgeon. They don't cut as deeply
 
He is an ortho. I already went to a neuro and they didn’t do anything for me. This is my second trip to get another opinion.
My doctor looked over my mri with me and basically from my c2 to my t2 are messed up. She said she doesn’t see a neck this bad in someone that is 80 years old. I’m only 35.
Been having bad nerve pain in neck chest shoulders and back. Been fighting it for 2 years so far.

Nerve pain is awful. Mine is L-4, L-5 down through the sciatic. It creates numbness and pain in my left leg, foot and ass cheek.

I couldn't imagine how bad yours must be since it involves the neck and probably shoulders/arms.

Get that shit fixed brother.
Yeah it’s awful. It’s all down both shoulders and both arms. Can’t work over head for more then 45 seconds to a minute without it feeling like a knife going into my shoulders.
Which make my job tough since I’m a heavy equipment mechanic.
I have had enough and I’m am trying to get it fixed. Might have to hold off until our second daughter is born.

Well best to you all the way around my friend !! Good luck dumping your Bull, and the very best to ya regarding the Doc thing. I'm an L4-L5 kinda guy myself and my neck is problematic, but nothing like yours. I can deal with this crap. You on the other hand need to get your issue addressed soonest. Seriously hoping this gets straightened out without being too intrusive.

Are you taking Gabapentin to relieve the nerve firing?

I had to stop because I ate like a ravenous dog while on it.
 
Moose

Find another neurosurgeon to look at it.

I recovered both kind of docs surgical patients for 3.5 yrs before I moved to the ER.

You want a neurosurgeon.
Trust me.
Travel a ways if needed
If he just want to slice and dice on me I am going to another neurosurgeon and getting a third opinion. I’m not a big fan of surgery, well who is, but I just want to get back to normal.
The problem is I have 4 bone spurs, 3 narrowing disc and one disc with a 7mm hernia. There is more but done have my mri report in front of me.

I really appreciate all the suggestions guy. ?
 
@Bryan W M

You are right. Should be. Keep up the hard work and push for it.
Wont be long and it will be of utmost importance that he have a great man such as you in his life. Those early years form a lot, best he be around you as much as possible.


@Slo cat
It was yesterday and today for sure!
41F on my way in to work this AM....

As a single dad in KS I think the court system is a damn joke and a racket to make them all rich.
Still fighting to get more time with my son. 50 50 should be standard unless you screw up.

Hey Bryan,

I'm well beyond what you are dealing with, age wise. I married a woman that had a son from a previous marriage. Right from the start, we made sure we would never even attempt to play the son against the dad, or vis versa. We always took the high road. Sometimes we won, sometimes we lost. If I had it to do over again, would I still take the high road ? Absolutely, without question.

But, there never has been a morning that my wife and I have woken up and we can't look at ourselves in the mirror.
