funny.. this thread has kind of become a timeline for me :D

so on feb 20, i posted i did my back.. today, it is still giving me grief.. 4 months of pain! uggg

however, i have hopefully had a breakthrough!!! i am convinced the physio isnt working, or has gotten me so far but not pain free, so today i went and had acupuncture for the first time..

let me tell ya.. i feel frikking fantastic!! best i have felt in months!! i no i am not healed, but the pain relief from the acupuncture is just simply amazing.. the difference i felt walking out of the clinic compared to when i walked in is simply amazing...

this morning i literally could not sit for more than 2 mins without being in agony, now i feel like i could do the dakar rally :D

more treatments to come... but hopefully it just keeps getting better and better from here!

I damaged my L2/L3 in 1996 while I worked as Patient Care assistant at RPRH lifting a 100kg+ patient. Went through a water program at the hosipital but ended up laying on my back for 12 months. Then, like you, tried accupuncture. I found that for 24 to 48 hours after the injections I could leap small buildings in a single bound...

...after that it was Dante's hell! Then, as time progressed, the prolongued treatment began to have an effect. Eventually, I felt the benefits.

So, Skyhookz, I feel your pain (literall/metaphorically) just hang in there, mate.

Besides, don't want any excuses when the Magick beats the Skyhookz in a few rounds time. lol

I should add that I was a wisp of a bloke at the time...about 80kg. I'm now much heavier. ;-)

i aint looking at it as a miracle 1 off cure, but holy crap to be pain free even for 24-48 hours! i will take that at the moment!!!

hopefully the pain will go away after 3-4 sessions and then life can begin anew!

shit might actually get a chance to hold my daughter!

Shit, mate...that's rough. Burping my 2 week old as I write (one-handed). It'll happen mate. It'll happen.

how is this daughter mate? any little bonuses with this 1?

lol 8000 of them actually lol

She's not feeding well and is getting over an infection. My 8 yr old son and 6 yr old daughter have been home from school for the week with chest infections. My wife and I are walking Zombies and my 3 yr old daughter has a constant runny nose and may be coming down with something too. Other than that all is well...lol

Looks like we both have genuine challenges tou 6-0 records today. We are both playing our respective number twos. Good luck. Mine's an away game...yours?

i am at home.. but i fear the CT

walking zombie lol :D we arent that bad.. at least little Grace sleeps over nite!

Ah the joys of a midlife crisis :D no, not really, moreso just re-living my youth :D

i had the joy of celebrating a birthday recently, and I am still in shock, but i actually got what i asked for, instead of socks and jocks :

i havent built any form of lego i would say in probably 25 odd years.. this stuff is fantastic, definitely not a kids toy! even my wife has been interested in the progress!!

so far i would say i have spent somewhere in the vicinity of 7 hours building, (2 of which spent trying to keep the 3 year old kid at bay as opposed to building anything) and i am about halfway through if that...

the lego itself cost 89 plus i bought the motor pack for 50, so for $140 i think it is well worth it!

any other lego fans out there?

if you could re-live your youth, what would you get back into?

Great game tonight Skyhookz. It was a ripper of a game to watch: literally basket for basket with each team opening up small leads before the other pegged them back. It seemed fitting that we started the last quarter with the game tied up. I was really looking forward to the game going to a last minute shot and was very suprised to see my boys open up the game with 5 minutes to go. Csorgo stood up in the finalminutes, desperate to make the score look respectable as Rodriguez struggled to defend him from outside. In fact, he hit 2 big 3s over Hot Rod in the dying minute to bring the score to within 7. A great game though. I have to be honest though, really thought my boys would be flat after CTing the Flames on Tuesday. There was nothing flat about Hot Rod's 15 point opening quarter or Stumer's outstanding 20+/20+ effort. I've never had a tea lke this: they constantly showing me what they can do.

I've observed for some time the uncanny ability of either Dogan or Hot Rod to step up when the other goes quiet, or for Kirch and Stumer to take up the slack when the dynamic duo are quiet, but this team works so well together; gelled so perfectly that they are a joy to watch. Makes BB pretty damn exciting. Especially after tanking and saving and waiting.
