I've lost my ability to ride...amongst other things

[Gnarly Cranium]

Spasms! Kicking??? Kicking! That sounds freakishly annoying-- but amazing. Anything we can do to help your care idjits get their asses in gear? Petitions? Picketing? Asskickery? In these stages of recovery you could probably use some serious PT and actual help, this is very worrying that they're hanging you out to dry like this. :mad

Insomnia sucks. Bigtime. I've tried tons of different things myself and so far none of it works-- except Trazodone, and that only sorta. A week is really pushing it, mine generally doesn't get any worse than 3 maybe 4 days at the worst. Over extended periods it can really add up and makes it impossible for me to think straight or remember anything. At a week you're basically crazy and might start hallucinating, seriously. So wacky dreams are not that unexpected, I get pretty intense ones after a long sleepless period-- but I very rarely have nightmares, it's usually pretty fun spaceship type stuff. Drugs might definitely have something to do with that too-- everyone I know who's ever taken codeine for instance had the worst nightmares they'd ever had in their life and had to switch to something else. Weed might not be the worst idea, actually.

Boredom is very bad. You need some company over there? Can you get out of the house much at all, go with some of us barfers to see a movie or somethin?

That food looks amazing. Great now I'm hungry.

 

[carries an axe]

have you tried smoking/eating weed to help you sleep? could be worth a try.

Sadly weed just makes me ornery and crazy paranoid, one day it just switched. I'm in my head too much.

adam, regarding your bordeom and stuff, check this guy out

Thanks man

Great to hear about the body firing up. Keep on truckin'!

Try the Christian TV channels. Guaranteed to put you to sleep.

I think I would end up watching the farting preacher :laughing

I get out as much as i can, not enough yet but I'm getting there.
Oh how I condone asskickery...I'm usually pretty forgiving, but these people deserve thumbscrews... It's been 4 months and they still can't seem to provide even mediocre service. My lawyer is on em now
Trazodone is the third med I've tried... Doesn't do shit.

There's this stuff called natural calm which is a quality magnesium supplement that might help you sleep. They sell it at whole foods or you can order it online. I have really bad insomnia and I've tried everything, all the pills, herbs, changing habits, and supplements.

I'm not sure the extent of your injuries but if there's a way to get some exercise where you can get your heart rate up a bit, that would help too.

Hope you get a good nights rest. I know what it's like not sleeping well and feeling how you described.

Ha! The GOP debates should do it. Somewhere between Niggerhead Ranch, booing an uniformed soldier serving in Iraq, "corporations are people, my friend", agreeing to not pay for medical expenses for a (hypothetical) sick man, equating homosexuality to a disease, and proposing to electrocute Mexicans crossing the border, yeah, that should get anyone's heart rate through going. I have the complete blue-ray box set with director's cut and all. Awesome stuff!

Keep us posted-- and be sure to ask your lawyer if he can think of anything useful to do with a large group of angry bikers. We like ganging up together to hang out in court rooms glaring at bad people and stuff of that sort.

The last two weeks sucked big time, but were worth it.
I spent my time in bed kicking a nasty case of prescribed addiction.
Sweating, spasming, and shivering as the clock slowly ticked.

Apparently to the confusion of the doctors, I kept waking up from sedation in the hospital, so they responded by shooting me full of everydamn thing they had. When they brought me back from La La land two weeks later, I awoke with the drug tolerance of a bonified addict.

I was shocked to learn that the brimming sharps container on the wall was not only just from my use, but from one day of it. That doesn't include IV bags and pic lines.:wtf


A year and two months later Im painkiller free.:thumbup

 

[dtrides]

Thats awesome news Adam :thumbup
So easy for the DR's to set you up for a bad "monkey on your back" in trying to manage your pain. Good on you for getting thru it!

Good stuff!

Any leftovers you don't want around the house to tempt you? I'll gladly dispose of them for you.

Adam you continue to knock my socks off!!!

 

[Lunch Box]

Adam, you are one hell of an amazing human being. Seriously, I continue to be in awe of your strength, character, and positivity. Your posts make me want to be a better person. Thank you!

 

[carries an axe]

In hospital, went blind, ok now

 

[ThumperX]

:wtf

 

[carries an axe]

Not sure of problem.

 

[Marcoose]

Wow! That's scary. Been thinking of you a lot these last days. I was wondering why. Be strong!

 

[budman]

:wow

Adam... life is throwing a lot at you. Hang in there and battle.

Hoping you do and wish you the very best.

 

[F4iChic]

:wow

No idea what caused it :confused

Oh, just blind, that's all?

Hang tough Adam :cool

 

[Lunch Box]

Geez, you are one tough customer, Adam. Glad to hear the blindness was only temporary, but it sure would be helpful if they had some way to explain why it occurred. Keep your head up and keep fighting. We're all pulling for you, man.
