Personally, I think they are getting kick-backs on opioid meds somehow. Both my Doc and his PA ask almost word for word the same thing at every appoint. They don't say hello, just "Are you here for a refill?" I tried some of that but an Occipital Nerve Blocks work best for me since 2012.

You should have seen this Doc's face when I refused one of those blood tests. I told him something like "I have never once asked you for any pills. You and Weiss (his PA) always asked me if I was there for a refill. Except for the first time when I first came here, I always refused any pain...

That is a key reason I have lived in California for almost 30 years. There are many reasons, but that one sits near the top of the list. California beach sunsets ain't bad either... 🌤️

These seem wet to me, but I can't really say one way or the other. But using them along with my quarterly occipital nerve blocks kept me from having to use narcotic pain killers for years. Before I dropped my bike at a stop sign, I put 70 shy of 30,000 miles on O'l Bessie and loved every minute...

That is exactly why my old Neurologist in Eureka to me to refuse to have any surgery on your neck or back unless you lose control of your bladder or bowels. He told me that in 2002. And I still have have that. I knew from the experiences of my band members that you never want to have neck or...

I knew I forgot something... I always do now days. Does you guys have Medicare Part D drug plans? When we lived in Eureka, I got 30 5% Lidocaine patches a month for the standard brand name co-pay, which with all of my medications, were paid for the year by mid-March. The box's main label...

Yeah, I would have to agree with you there, Jake. When I was a kid in the 60s, I got plenty of good ol' country *** whoopins. As a result of that I have never committed a crime (I don't count smokin' weed, which I did plenty of in my life time), never been arrested, and while I had to discipline...

I had glasses when I was a kid, but I would always forget to wear them. My teacher told my parents that I couldn't see the blackboard clearly from the front row of the class. But my eyesight was fine, what I couldn't see was what she was saying. I suffered from something millions of kids have...

In the case of my kids, it certainly wasn't a lack of communication on our part. The kids either just didn't listen to us or didn't want to hear what we were telling them. For example, you may have seen my posts on creating and faithfully using an "Internet Persona" online, to maintain your...

Never trust an idiot to do an intelligent person's job. Even though, sometimes it can be very amusing. For the last two and a half years we have been driving 7 miles into Bakersfield (round trip) to get a Mocha. They know us, they see our car on the security camera and place the order the way we...

Waking up nearly pain-free is a good thing, indeed. The last time that happened for me was in Eureka back in September 2022, the day after my last Occipital Nerve Block with my favorite Pain Specialist Doc. I used to think waking up to a 3 was a nearly pain-free morning. It's better than 9 or...

Maybe she thinks you've had enough mooving experiences?

I have balance issues from Myelopathy from Cervical Stenosis, which I was slowly working my way towards with about 15 years of load-in, set up, tear down and load-outs with my band's gear. And while it was blindly getting worse, we kept getting more and more gear. I never noticed it until I...

Yes, Hoot, I know. I have PAD too. Or something reasonably close to it. But I do agree with the idea that sometimes, laughter is the best medicine. Specially when you have something (or things) there is (are) no known cure for. For me, making jokes is a coping mechanism. But to answer your...

I saw an ad on YouTube about that, I think they said it was from Stuck Poop.

Mine used to make it to my pocket, where it would hide with the others until it was time to take out all the shopping lists and put them in the recycle bin. Now I wrap them around my credit card, which I always get out and hand to my son before doing any shopping. He asked why do I do that, and...

You do realize, of course, that with the possible exception of parts of Southern Texas, all of these places are North of Florida. ;)

Ok, whatever. But when you are posting on a message board, people can only go by what you type on it. That is why I always quote what I am replying to. Maybe I should give up on trying to be friendly and say goodbye to you. ✌️

It rarely snows in the South except at higher elevations. It did this year, even in Florida, but that's not a winter long thing most years like it can be anywhere in the North.

That's why I asked Ken about increasing the base font size. But then someone pointed out to me how to do that yourself. Control + or - makes just the text larger or smaller. No browser mods needed, I don't think... Of course, if I'm wrong it ain't the first time nor will it be the last. Unless...
