A mild 42* here in the Spa City this morning Cap….headed for 63* for the high…😎👍

Btw, we got in the new hot tub last night for the first time, it was 102* and for 40 minutes I was in weightless and pain free bliss, both in knee and lower back!!! Which reminds me, I saw the pain management specialist on Tuesday and he said knee replacement is going to be the eventuality. Cortisone injections he said will hasten that on and so his suggestion is RFA (Radio Frequency Ablation) or simply nerve burn. 3 trips over a month beginning late January….☹️

My doc that's done a knee and both shoulders for me absolutely refuses to use cortisone...he considers it malpractice. Copilot has some age driven joint issues and her doc won't use it either, rather doing injections of some mild pain med into the joint. Sorry to hear you're in pain.

37 and rain changing into snow tonight and temps plunging into sub zero the first of next week...thanks BC!!! We got close to 10" Tuesday night and I spent 2 hours in the heated cab pushing it around. Really love that cab!! At least our skeeters are gone.

Had that on my neck.
No fun. Didn’t last long at the end.
Did you ask him about the Durolane
Hopefully it works for me.
We’ll see I guess. But that’s what Reardon said too, eventually a new knee. But they only last 10 years too.
Haha

Not all new knees are created equal. They have them that they give to people over 70, different ones for younger more active, and different still for athletes, the one I hope to get….🤔

Thanks. Do you know anything about RFA?
Btw, the same doctor who told me that he didn’t think cortisone shots would help my knee is the one that gave them to me for my neck and I’ve been remarkably pain free up there since he did so in 2017…..🤷‍♂️

Yeah I think it didn’t help after the first one.
Heated cab sounds really good. Got a nice stereo too. Get some old Steppenwolf blasting. 😊
Get your motor running

Screw China. Haha
How was the tub. I can’t wait.
My knee isn’t too bad, but can’t walk too far. Which sucks.
Caper

Tub worked great, no leaks, and following the very specific filling/start up instructions I didn’t have airlock or need to bleed the pumps….
And I enjoyed 40 minutes pain free in that hydrotherapy of heat and weightlessness….😎

Are you wanting to run any marathons soon.
😂😂

[Montecresto]

Screw China.

Well, the VERY rare fossilized dinosaur egg found there is too cool…

No, but I’m far from finished with major construction projects on my properties, including the remodel of our new office building downtown Hot Springs that I’ll be working on along side the lake house deck. So, I want the toughest knee available….🤷‍♂️

 

[Montecresto]

Did you ask him about the Durolane

Yeah, it’s too new for him. He wants to see more data. You know all doc’s are different. I’m going to ask my PCP about it.

 

[Caper]

My guy went in by X-ray, and it cooks the nerve. Move a mil, and do it again. Wasn’t much fun in the neck, but I’d do it again if it worked again. My problem was, I went back to work and worked my ass off. So each time was less and less time.
I had to sign because it was so dangerous to do in the neck. Last month when I saw him, he said two people had died lately in the states from Dr’s hitting the spinal cord or an artery. Blaaaaa
Not sure what he is going to do in a couple months time

Daaaaaaaaaamn…….😳
Glad I don’t need anything in the neck….🤔

Indeed. Hope you get yours asap!!!!

Just saw Newfoundland getting hit by snow squalls. Showed one guy opening his door from inside and the snow is packed against his door right to the top. Hopefully he has a backdoor. Cape Breton is just flurries right now.

Cool north wind here today. Not going past freezing. No more snow for Christmas. Just cold.
I’d take the 60.
Send it up please.
Haha
Caper

I was going to tell you that for the next week we can expect 60's and 70's but I decided not to tell you! HA!

30 degree morning on the motorcycle, thank goodness for heated jacket and glove batteries charged up by fossil fuels and nuclear power.

 

[Ridinfool]

Q: What do climate change and Biden’s presidency have in common?

























There both a SHAM!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[Ridinfool]

Every year it changes 4 times…
Winter
