I've been to the pain clinic at DHMC, other than painkillers, everything they suggested was stuff I was already doing. In fact the one doc, the other was a resident or intern, suggested I come in and tell one of their groups what I'd had success w/ in terms of exercise, massage, etc.
It's the being "twice the dickhead I was before" factor that has me concerned at the moment. Mom's pretty ill and it takes a lot of patience to deal w/ Alz patients and patience isn't really my strong suit these days. She seems to really pick up on mood and if I'm in a good mood she's a little happier, a little more engaged, a little less likely to wander off the rez. I don't want to snap at her some day, because I didn't take my pamprin
, and have her go off the deep end.
I'm going to try the blunts, I mean SuperJoints
, that Sneaky recommended and Sonnon's "Warrior Wellness" routine that another buddy, who's got similar injuries and limitations to my own, swears by. As well as look into the bike and what it costs to use the pool at the community center in Lebanon.
Thanks.
