Good luck

I did get some good news today as the x rays showed no damage or issues to warrant hip surgery. The pain is on the side of my hip and he said if the hip was bad, it would radiate from the front.  My lower back has felt strained for some time and he said it sounds like a pinched nerve that runs down the side of the hip.  MRI scheduled on the 16th to check for nerve issues.  No hip surgery !!!!  He did say my right knee which I have had multiple surgeries on looks bad and he will xray it when I come back.  My right leg is two inches shorter than the left so that could be causing the nerves to pinch.  I told him maybe if he put an extension in my leg and jack me back up, it would fix my problem.  :D  He said don't laugh as you may be on to something.  :blink:

Great news!  However, a pinched nerve is hard to get rid of and can really nag; even tough sleeping.  Best of luck in the next doc visit.

 

My right lag is also shorter than my left leg, but it's not 2 inches shorter; broke my ankle when I was 10 and it didn't grow as fast.  It's been one of my causes of low back pain for years.

Sold again.

You might want to reconsider the New Haven area (where I grew up by the way). I just read an online article in USA Today and it along with Hartford were listed in the top 50 worst cities in the US because of poverty and crime.

Yeah, I read about that. I wouldn't live in the city.

NEVER, EVER live in the city. The big CT problem at the moment is taxes and plenty of them. CT is close to bankruptcy. Small towns are really nice but still TAXES. That's why after 65 years we moved to FL. I still love the Northeast but the cost...

He asked me if the pain went down my leg and I told him no. I do feel a twinge in my neck occasionally. Like a electric shock. I suppose the MRI will give us the answer

Og glad no surgery is needed

 

Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

 

I thought it was odd that he kept looking at my right knee which has been under the knife three times already.   It's grossly larger than my left knee.  He said we need to get it x - rayed next time you come in.   Who knows what's going on however at least my hip pain is nerve related and doesn't need surgery!

Well we survived Boston with our 17 yo while doing our first college visits with her. Both schools are out of the running after seeing them, and they're both the most expensive on her list too, so I'm not too sad about that!!

You have an unusual daughter. Mine picked the most expensive school that she absolutely had to go to.

 

Rest of story: after two years she decided she really didn't like the school

When I met my wife she was in the process of transferring from a very expensive school that was her one and only choice and she also ended up hating it. So that story has been repeated enough with our daughter that she knows what'll happen if she picks the highest and then hates it!

Just spent the last 2 hours wrangling a bat out of my house. Capped chimney, no way for that little punk to get in... or so I thought.

 

Time for a bat house outside.

 

That was entertaining... interrupted my chipping practice.

My golf course put up two bat houses this spring; one by the pond outside the clubhouse between #1 tee and #9 green, and one by the pond between #14 and #15.

That's funny. We had 2 Squirrels get in thru our chimney/fireplace years ago in CT. Chasing them out was a blast!! The chimney cap had broken and they got in.

Wow. Tried out a new course today to practice the range and planted myself on the practice green. It was like a trampoline. Firm and bouncy, never seen anything like it. Impossible to stop a ball on it, and it was like putting on a runway.

 

Anyways the practice green was by the first tee. Every single person hit at least 3 balls off the get go, first was a duck hook into the woods, second was a monster slice into the woods on the other side l, then they finally topped one just passed the ladies tees.

 

Are these the AVERAGE golfers we are talking about? Because nothing but lessons or quitting the game would help these people. No fitting, special putter l, nothing, absolutely hilarious to watch though.

 

No offense to anyone here.

 

Just a legitimate question.

 

BexUse they will run out of balls by the second hole.

 

The first hole is a 350 yard par 4, it was taking people 6-8 shots to get NEAR the green. 15 minutes for a 2 some to get to the green. Glad I wasn't playing.

Sounds like the occasion 'guest' that's booked on the weekend at our Club. FYI they usually hit from the tips. At the turn they come into the clubhouse to reload with another doz (yes of course they're Pro v1's).

I doubt it Rick. These guys “were good”. Giving each other lessons on the Tee... yes Tony they were playing from the tips. The one guys wife our drove them all from the whites, pretty impressive. I saw who wore the pants in that relationship.
