Fell 14 feet off a ladder at work on monday. broke my back in 2 spots. guess it could be alot worse though, i dont need surgery. looks like me and my tank are gonna be gettin alot of face time over the next 2 or so months... man, this $@#t sucks!
 
I am so sorry to hear this, I'm sure you heard it before but it could of been worse, Hope you have a speedy recovery,feel better.

You could always save some of them for when it doesn't hurt anymore! Hmmm.. I bet that's easier said than done. Hopefully the pain is starting to subside a bit. How long do the doctors say it will hurt like this for?
 
they said il be in pain like this for at least 6 weeks. pain didnt stop me from meeting daniel on his way to the meeting to pick up some coral! im going to a spine specialist on monday so il have a better idea of my timeframes and long term effects. to top everything off , i somehow caught poison ivy at the damn hospital. i just got that kinda luck this week

Vinegar and kosher salt rubbed onto poison ivy will sting like MAD, but it will also dry up the poison ivy in a day or two and stop the itching for a few hours. Best remedy I've ever seen. Good luck at the specialist this week.
 
il will have to try that phyl, thanks for the info... the stuff i got now (ivarest?) is a little fugazy . dont seem to be workin much
