What ? These people don't provide lawn chairs and small cocktails served with mini-umbrellas ??
The Nerve ! LOL

 

We went to lunch last week to discuss everything. Jobs, home life, work and life in general. So far I've been able to prove my worth and value to this agency and to him. I like him and the Chief. I've no reason right now not trust that they have the best interest of this agency in mind. Not trying to be political haha. I like them and I think I'll have a job for at least 4 more years.

 

Good morning Woods. Seems like we’re all a little testy today.
Great selection of humps today Greg.
Not as much pain in my left leg today as compared to yesterday......so far.
The weather guessers are predicting dry through the rest of the week.

 

Is that Trish's arm? Morning Rob, not testy here!

 

Rob, that pain. Is it neuropathy from your back issues?

 

Fixed it for ya.

 

Yes it is. The surgery restored the openings for the nerves going to my legs and feet. Since they were being pinched it takes time for them to relax is the best way to describe it.
I had a cervical fusion in my neck years ago. Pre-surgery I had pain in my left shoulder, arm and my index and middle finger of my left hand. Post surgery my shoulder and arm were pain free the next day but the fingers took a year to get most of the feeling back.

 

So it seems the best way to combat bronchitis is to weaken my immune response.......which is what was making me cough for weeks on end......I feel better wondering how long it will last......when the meds are gone the immune system will kick back in you would think.....

 

I know! I am throttling back even more as they do not have the part that they asked me to replace on their new airplane until this weekend. Sorry fellas, not hanging around to install it.

Rick, I had the "nasal intruder" swab test, my fourth one since all this crap started. Strangely though, with another swab she did my tongue too, which was a first for me. I thought about taking the antigen test but I didn't want to risk muddying the water of travel home if it came back positive for antigens.

 

Okay, so I'm not as far in or as bad off as you, but what you said makes perfect sense. I have "pinched" nerves in my L3L4 area as well as cervical spine, but no need for surgery yet. It causes pain and/or dead spots depending on the day in my left side, usually shoulder and pinky and ring fingers. Lately, severe headaches as well. Not sure if you're medicated. I was started on a low dose (25mg) Pregabalin for the nerve pain. I may need to increase that dosage, but I'm carefully fighting off side effects of it too. It's a lose lose.
