Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / March 2005Where has Ray been?
Curious because I haven't seen much of him - could be hiding though ;-) > Curious because I haven't seen much of him - could be hiding though ;-) Yeah, where is Ray? Haven't seen him here for ages now.... >> Curious because I haven't seen much of him - could be hiding though ;-) > > Yeah, where is Ray? Haven't seen him here for ages now.... I'm here, been in the hospital (again). Got a bit of catching up, hope you've all been behaving yourselves? Hell no. What fun would that be? You OK? > >> Curious because I haven't seen much of him - could be hiding though ;-) > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > been in the hospital (again).

Feeling great now, thanks. >>>Curious because I haven't seen much of him - could be hiding though ;-) >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > been in the hospital (again). Got a bit of catching up, hope you've all been > behaving yourselves? Hope everything is okay with you and you don't have anymore problems. Missed you. Us all behave ourselves? LOL! I'm having some health problems right now. So much to take in all at once - blood tests, x-rays, CT Scan, etc. Hopefully everything will turn out okay. >>>>Curious because I haven't seen much of him - could be hiding though ;-) >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > once - blood tests, x-rays, CT Scan, etc. Hopefully everything will turn > out okay. Get some morphine patches, they are just like the stop smoking patches and you get high as a kite every hour!! I'm sure you'll be fine LT. Take care. > Get some morphine patches, they are just like the stop smoking patches and > you get high as a kite every hour!! > I'm sure you'll be fine LT. Take care. Sounds good! LOL! But I'm feeling better already. I went into the doctors last Friday for numbness in the right hand and right side of the mouth - they got the blood tests back yesterday and my white blood count was high - they think it's an infection somewhere in my body, so I have been on antibiotics since yesterday - I'm starting to feel better already. Did the chest x-ray yesterday, but haven't heard anything. I have to go for the CT scan on my head this Tuesday - I imagine thats for the numbness I had. Also had x-rays on the hip - maybe I could go for that morphine patch after all! It sucks when you're as old as a fossile!! Geeeesh Murphy LT. Go to a damn chiropractor! > > Get some morphine patches, they are just like the stop smoking patches and > > you get high as a kite every hour!!

I've never had to go to one, fortunately, but I know loads of people who swear by them, including my Mum, Dad and sister.... >>>Geeeesh Murphy LT.

I know people that do too and they swear by them as well. I have never been to one and I believe my medical insurance won't cover it anyway. You could be fixed in one damn treatment. These are classic nerve pinched in your back symptoms! Do it! > >>>Geeeesh Murphy LT.

I really don't think a chiro can do sh.t for me. This has been discussed with my doctor before. I just hope he doesn't recommend a hip replacement because I'm not going to do it. I can walk fine and have no pain, but when I lay on that side, thats when it bothers me or if I turn my leg a certain way, such as crossing my legs. Maybe my doctor will recommend a Chiro - I will see what he says in April after the Dexa scan. > I was in a bad car accident back in 1980 - ejected from car 500 feet > - broke pelvis in 7 different places - also cracked tailbone. <cringes> Ouch. That's gotta hurt :-( >I really don't think a chiro can do sh.t for me. Hmmm....maybe not..... I guess you'll just have to suffer forever then. > >>>Geeeesh Murphy LT.

You are pushing it, dear! (brains/web mush) I got them back Monday. Everything is fine except there is Sclerosis involving the right sacroiliac joint in my hip. Now I understand why I am in so much pain. The brains/muh was just a cheer up. Go to a damn chiropractor a few times at least before you fall apart! Don't dedicate any money, pay as you go only. > > Any brains in there or all web mush? > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > involving the right sacroiliac joint in my hip.

Don't > dedicate any money, pay as you go only. Fall apart? LOL! She recommended Physical Therapy, but a chiro wouldn't hurt. Man, I feel old! No seriously though. Ask around from friends etc. for a good Chiropractor recommendation. I understand some can be real quacks in the USA. I Canada they could lose their licence for doing weird stuff but there is still a lot of money grabbers. I get 4 minutes of electro muscle stimulation, 4 minutes of thumper massage and then he adjusts ***ONLY*** what need to be adjusted. I am the only patient in any rom at the time. Some have 10 rooms going and they spoend 30 seconds with you. He hardly ever misses and I almost always walk out of there feeling 100% better. I visited four guys before him and they adjusted me 100 times and I never felt that cured like this guy. Get a good one. > > The brains/muh was just a cheer up. > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Man, I feel old! > No seriously though.

A friend told me 5 minutes with one and you'll feel like a million bucks! I can't imagine what pain Ray must be going through - he has it worse than you or I. I am not sure exactly what your problem is but it sounds like you are developing "downstream" damage from having your nerves and lifelines pinched for so long. When your brain can't feel r sense past a pinched nerve in your back / spine it stops sending nourishment and support. Parts eventually dies downstream from that pinch. The Chiro adjustment can straigten the spinal vertabrates and take pressure off the disc that, in turn, pinches the nerve. Accupunture can release the tension, heal the nerve and promote healing but may be temporary (3-4 months). I would personally do both for a while. I've been there. spent 2-3 years contemplating suicide because of a buggered disc and 5-6 years in pain until this chiropractor I have now. Try a few hundred dollars worth (out of your pocket) and then look elsewhere unless you know you are getting better. You will know with a chiro within 2-3 treatments or else walk away. Most Chiros will demand xrays so see if you can get your hands on yours or CT scans. They will bitch but your dollar apid for them and you may have to bring them back or get your Chiro Doc to request them. You can get a whole new set but that's a lot of Xradiation. > > No seriously though. Ask around from friends etc. for a good Chiropractor > > recommendation.

Take care. Don't tell me they've taken more vertibrae away Ray. Before long you'll have to stand on a crate to snog Ms Ray ;0) Morphine lol. I take opiates too for my pain and although they have offered me morphine and pethedine I won't have it because it makes me sleepy and I'd never get anything done here. I try to manage as long as possible without my next dose as I know I will need more and more to take effect othewise. This morning, I cleaned all but 2 of the aviary flights out before I had to stop. I push myself to do just a bit moe, then just anothe bit more. I have opened all the front weather panels off the aviary too this morning as it is glorious. Far too warm fo this time of year and sunny. The birds are enjoying some clean fresh air blowing though, I am sure although I do open the door on all but the coldest days even if it is only for 10 minutes. My bantams are all doing well too . The cockatiels in the mixed aviary want to breed but I won't let them. I have such a job trying to find sensible long term homes for them, and all fo a piddling £35-£45 each, it isn't worth it, truly it isn't. I make more money from my ornamental bantams. At least they pay fo themselves and subsidise their exotic screaming cousins too :0) Say hi to Mrs Ray and give the dog a tummy rub from Auntie Pam in Cambridgeshire :0) > <snipped> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Don't tell me they've taken more vertibrae away Ray. Before long you'll > have to stand on a crate to snog Ms Ray ;0) No more discs gone, (2) the last one didnt work either and they've left me with quite a bit of nerve damage. I've lost all feeling and reflexes in my left leg. > Morphine lol.

The patches dont make me sleepy, just high!! Still have to take all my other pill's too and 4 injections of insulin a day! At least I'm still up and about. I dont bother with weather panels, only the fronts of my aviaries are open. I've put nest boxes up for my grey's, pionus and tiels. Only the grey's have shown interest though. Doves are breeding and sparrows are building again. I've been expanding my tarantula collection (15 species) and started breeding from some. Bought some long tailed skinks too, they look great in their planted tank. My son is building a spider and lizard room in the garden for them all. > This morning, I cleaned all but 2 of the aviary flights out before I had > to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > fo > a piddling £35-£45 each, it isn't worth it, truly it isn't. I sell my tiels to other breeders, for breeding or showing. I dont breed any birds for pets, £35-£45 each aint bad or are they hand reared? > I make more money from my ornamental bantams.

I always do Ray. Take the same advice for yourself :0) I never knew you had spiders <shudder> Oh well, I will never be able to visit you then cos I have arachnophobia. I cannot even put my hand on a *picture* of a spider.
