I'm pretty sure I posted the exact same thing in 2009.

Blood work looks great. I have acute athritis in the elbow. We do have a good rain storm coming through but I'm telling you this elbow is a 9 out of 10 in the pain scale. I can't believe arthritis hits you like that. Just bam.... you got it.

that's why I'm 'active' on the board now....

I've had acute/chronic pain for the last 4 months that stems from the right shoulder blade with random tingling all over my body.....it sucks balls

having procured black market strategy coupled with celebrex, the pain threshold has been reduced to a 2/3 on the 10 scale.....

Well given this "budget" is just a five month affair then it's an awfully small carrot. Quite the effective trick to give them something for five months in order to get them to do something of far greater consequence, no?

Quote:Dems don't have either of those problems but I disagree with their platform entirely.

The reason the dems are in lockstep is the same reason they've lost the house, senate, state legislators, and governorship. They are a tiny tent party of purity for whom even Joe Lieberman, the VP pick in 2000, was targeted as someone who had to be taken out.

I don't want that kind of lock step unity, I want dissent and arguments over ideas in my party. Today's healthcare bill is way better than the one that failed, if we were lock step we would have been stuck with that turd.

I haven't read the whole thread so, if it's already been brought, I apologize.

Are you not aware of how Congress manipulates the CBO to get a favorable score? Probably not based on your posting history.

I think it's Gods way of saying get you butt to the ER. I call down to the office and I asked why a sub us in my room. They say they have one for me as a professional day. I said for what? They don't know nor do they know how it was typed in. I didn't type it in. I said I'll keep it I'm going to the ER. Switch it to a sick day? Now I have an iv running in me as I'm talking to you. I don't know what is more strange. My story about the sub or ME texting you guys during my ER visit!!! Most of you are truly friends. Throw a prayer up to Northerm Ohio for me! Take care guys

Is the nurse cute?

And ask them to slip some vodka into the IV :) it's a real pick me up :)

Seriously, just get better Mach.

Just ask John Elway and Dan Marino.

most of you guys know I try to have fun with this forum tossing some irregular shards.....

.....true story......

I talked them into taking me off morphine to demerol due to the dosage allowed.....

pain is one son of a biatch......and we're all not physiologically the same

mass, biological make-up, and dosage matter............trust me, I know
