NiftyNiblick Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I don't get enough 90ºF weather up here to complain about it, ever. You never have to scrape 90º off your windshield. You never have to shovel it off your driveway. Five months of 90, five months of 65 , and two transitional months of 75 would be absolutely perfect for me.

My wife has a good friend that has lived in Florida for a number of years. Her husband's employer transferred him to their Florida operations. He is now retired. The Baltimore/Annapolis area is their home and they thought about returning home, in a manner of speaking. Unfortunately, they found that the sale of their current residence would not yield sufficient funds for its replacement here. Accordingly, I suggested to my wife that we sell our residence relocate to Florida and bank some funds. Unfortunately, it ain't gonna happen.

Well, honestly, money is not the obstacle to something like this. We are actually set up to be snow birds if we wanted to. Our house is paid for, and for a lack of a better way of saying it, once my mother-in-law passes, my wife inherits her house. So we will have two houses in the same town. We either sell our house and take the proceeds and buy a property somewhere where summer is not so hot, or we buy an RV and travel around when we want to and return to home base when we feel like it. We have a few options on the table, but right now we are sort of on pause, as A) the MIL is still alive and kicking, albeit, just waiting to die, and B ) I'm only 51, so I have a few years to wait this out before retirement is something I can even remotely consider. And since I don't make a whole lot of money, any income in retirement will be from inheritance and social security. My 401(k) is a joke honestly. Yeah, I know, first world problems.

ole gray Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Wow what a day! My wife and several ladies left town to play in a golf tournament at guess where? Columbus, Ga. I'm concerned about their travel back Thursday as they play the tournament Tuesday/Wednesday. Maybe they can head back Wednesday evening if all goes well. Ok so now for my predicament. Some of you know as I have mentioned I'm nursing a couple of bulging discs and pinched nerve in my lower back. I figured it was mostly from old age as we all start having joint etc. issues. I'm due for a shot in my back October 29th to relieve the discomfort. Well today I had a few things take place that jacked up the pain to a round 11ish on a scale of 1 - 10. It's ok to laugh at the 2nd thing that happened as it truly would have made America's Funniest videos show. !. It's about to pour down rain so I call my dog in for the day and noticed blood spots on the floor. At first I thought it was me because I saw no evidence of injury on my dog so I run into the bathroom and check out the back of my arms etc. The blood spots on the floor led to a trail out to the back porch. Now I noticed blood on her hair next to her neck and side of her leg. Now I'm freaking out because I can find out where it's coming from! I checked her neck, back of her head, side of her leg and everywhere else I could think of, except her ear. Apparently she either nicked her ear on a rose bush coming our of the garden or did it coming through the doggy door on the screen porch. Anyways that little wound on her neck was bleeding like a leaky faucet. I applied pressure with a couple of paper towels and it finally stopped bleeding. In the process I had to bend over straining my lower back to keep the pressure on her ear. The pull on my back was telling me to back off or else. 2. Ok you can laugh after the next thing that happened. I was sitting on the back porch with Roxie making sure her ear had stopped bleeding and here runs in my cat with a chipmunk in his mouth! I'm hollering at Roxie to stay still so her bleeding would stop, hollering at Buster to drop the dayuuuummmmm chipmonk. He dropped it and I rushed Buster in the back door so I could herd the chipmunk outside. 3. I finally got this accomplished so I head in to mop up the blood droppings from Roxie's ear. The blood had dried hard on the floor and I was pushing down on the handle when I felt my back catch. It locked up so bad I could hardly make it to a chair to sit down. Time will tell however I may have went from bulging to herniating either one or both of those discs. 4. Ice pack is now on my back with a cane I had from my knee surgery days close by. I think my golf game for tomorrow is a wash and gawd forbid my cat from hauling in another chipmunk!!! I don't drink alcohol these days as I drank enough in my younger life, to be sufficient enough for most small towns. If I was a drinking man, I would be sitting here slugging down something real hard.... lol So my dog with a sore ear and myself with a sore back and no one home to nurse us.... Update for Tuesday morning: I was suppose to play golf with the old coots today however that's not happening now are in the foreseeable future! Back pain sucks!!

You may need an MRI and epidural steroid injection, Get your doctor to give you some oxycodone until that's done. Don't accept Vicodin. It's not strong enough.

MaxEntropy Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I tweaked my back a few weeks ago. I have no idea what triggered it, but it was a struggle trying to get my shoes on while getting ready for my league. It was a strange sensation - my back felt very tight and my mobility was severely limited. Being a moron much of the time, I thought I would loosen up on the course. MISTAKE. By the end of the round, my swing was all arms with no rotation. I spent the next two days pretty much confined to my bed because getting up was so difficult. A few trips to the chiropractor and a lot of stretching, heat, and ice and I am much better. Still not perfect, but better. I've played twice since then, with a pretty tentative swing. I may need to hang it up for the season and focus on getting back to normal and strengthening my core. ole gray 1 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: Tour B JGR Recoil 760ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: RTX Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: TAIII Black 58* Putter: Scottsdale TR Senita Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x or AVX (yellow) Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Testing Complete, Final Review Posted: Sub70 TAIII Forged Wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what triggered it, but it was a struggle trying to get my shoes on while getting ready for my league. It was a strange sensation - my back felt very tight and my mobility was severely limited. Being a moron much of the time, I thought I would loosen up on the course. MISTAKE. By the end of the round, my swing was all arms with no rotation. I spent the next two days pretty much confined to my bed because getting up was so difficult. A few trips to the chiropractor and a lot of stretching, heat, and ice and I am much better. Still not perfect, but better. I've played twice since then, with a pretty tentative swing. I may need to hang it up for the season and focus on getting back to normal and strengthening my core. Yea I have been fighting nerve pain down the side of my hip for quite some time now. Yesterday the big one hit and it was a Mother!! Good luck with your back and I hope all goes well for ya.....
