...it serves as a testimony to what determination, courage, and tenacity can do for us!


Heh...some very close to me would no doubt say something like, "pig-headedness" to describe the same thing Smiley

Congrats on your achievements... I wish you well in the coming year, and I hope when it draws to a close, your thoughts on it will be most positive and satisfying...


Year end summaries often provoke deep thought and unproductive regrets...I allow a moment...and only a moment for those. Then it's "WooHOO! Bring it ON!"


As for yours truly... it just keeps getting better! I've just concluded the best year of my entire life, and I'm optimistic 2018 will surpass even that... We'll see.


Outstanding...keep on keeping on. I'm gonna be you when I grow up LOL! Smiley

Thanks for keeping us posted on your progress... It reminds us all of what we are capable of, even if we don't aim quite as high as you... Best of luck to ya!!!

Heh...I'm a writer...we do these things LOL!

Showed my shoulder doc a before/after pic...he blinked, "Dude...you should start a blog!"

"Waaaay ahead of you doc. The trick is shutting me up!"

I'll see you on the road!


It catches us a bit off guard when the collector comes by.


That it does...been expecting him for years though...even as I shake my fist vaguely in that direction...

Oh, but a small bump in the long road it will be.

I’ve been on a similar road some time back and after the shock in lifestyle change one has time to think.  Probably the most creative time I’ve experienced.  Hard to explain, but you have a creative talent that we all see. 

Think positive.  Think big.

They did my right shoulder yesterday...

Surgery went quite long and took 5 incisions, but the doc told the wife he was thrilled with the result. No graft needed, which should mean a good prognosis for full function recovery..

Two of the four muscles were completely torn off and retracted. He apparently recovered both of them.

I'll know more at the follow up next week, as I was of course, out...he spoke to the wife after surgery but she was understandably rattled and was so relieved with the "he came through it fine" to recall much of the detail.

Lots of pain...but I can do pain.

Months of recovery ahead of me...

Hey, waking up from surgery is always a good thing.

Best of luck on recovery and rehab... take it easy for awhile.

(I just had an old friend, a rear molar ripped out of my head yesterday.  It had already been saved before (at great expense), and could no longer be saved.   It went OK except for the tennis shoe tread mark on my forehead.)

Surgical followup today. Excellent results. Surgeon achieved much more than we expected and recovered both muscles that were torn off. Long recovery because the ligaments were totally separated.

Five more weeks in the sling...6 months of rehab (and somewhere in there...a surgery on the other shoulder).

I expect to get 95% or better capability back...

Also saw my GP...
A1C = 5.1 (excellent)
All blood-work dead-normal.
232 pounds.
-195 (-95 since last February)

...annnd today I put on a size Large button-down shirt...and it fit...not squeezed in...it actually fits.

This is remarkable to me simply because as an adult, I've never worn a size Large shirt...ever...and as recently as a couple years ago 6X was a "squeeze in" size...

I *still* see the fat guy in the mirror...but I am able to see the fit guy in the photographs anyway.

Heh...almost didn't buy the shirt...most of y'all know my "default" shirt is a black t-shirt...but right now because of the shoulder surgery I have to wear a button down shirt...only had two decent ones...and I was still a bit freaked out THEY fit as they were XL...as I said, not long ago a 6X wouldn't have been enough...

Anyway...wearing the XL shirt and thought, "Man...that's a bit baggy..." so I of course, ordered two more of the things...but a regular cut Large just to try.

Fits perfect. Still can't get my head wrapped around this...

WOW.  I don't think I would have  recognized you if I passed you on the street.  Well Done!

Thanks...I, in fact, scared the crap out of my sister recently...she'd not seen me in a while and I showed up at her place...she didn't recognize me...

Seeing as it hasn't been a full year since your original post and you started only 6 weeks prior to it, you're just about 12 months from the start of your goal.

12 months, - 95 lbs?   WOW cooldude  And a major surgery? Shocked

Daniel, why not go down to the resale shop and offer them a pile of your stuff (clean), but ask them to at least let you take a couple fitting shirts, pants, belts and a coat in return.  Not even steven, but something?

The Supreme Court once famously held there was no harm in asking (course' that was for sex, not for clothes.  But the principle still applies.)  Smiley

When I retired, our local Vietnam Vets of America resale store got a pile of nice suits, sport coats, ties, dress shirts and pants, dress shoes, trench coats, and other stuff, and all I got was a minor tax deduction.  I hoped that some guys down on their luck might get something to wear to job interviews.  (I held back a little of my nicest stuff, but will gladly pass to the happy hunting grounds without ever wearing any of it.)

Excluding a pullover polo shirt, which is as fancy as I will wear anymore, I have not put on a shirt with any buttons on it once in 8 years.   Grin

BTW, assured in my committed heterosexuality, you are looking quite the stud bull these days.   cooldude

Not gonna sweat it...I've picked up a jacket and some jeans at the resale place...they literally only charge a couple bucks for such things. I'll just donate what's good of my old stuff and trash the rest.

Y'all know what happens when you ignore your mistress?

The one you've been on daily for more than 17 years?

Well she pisses all over the garage floor...that's what she does.

Backed both machines out of the garage a couple days ago...cleaned up the oil...and started them both for the first time since my surgery on January 18 (EIGHT WEEKS! ago)...

*ahem*...it's just possible I accidentally rode one of 'em around the block.

I don't think I've *ever* not ridden for this length of time LOL!

Kind of important to blow the bad gas out of 'em...many of y'all know rebuilding 6 carbs on these monsters is finicky...and expensive. The reason I've not ever had to touch them in a quarter million miles is because I don't let 'em sit.

Next week I'll change the shifter shaft seal...an easy fix...that's responsible for the dragon-drool all over the floor.

I'm guessing another "accidental" trip around the block is an order as well...

Little 95 pound gal that runs the PT on my shoulder...*really* knows how to take me to the limits of what pain I can endure...

I've *still* got the shakes after this morning's session...enough so that it's difficult to type and I can't hold a coffee mug without shaking the coffee out of it.

Of course...she couldn't do this to me without my cooperation...which says something about me...I don't care to think too much about what.

LOL!  I confessed one day to a PT that I didn't handle pain the way normal people do.  She had told me to do something until it hurts.  I told her that though a normal person will back away from pain I will simply push into it to see how far I can go.

She tried to kill me that day.  When they took me back to my room I fell asleep and they cancelled my appointment that afternoon with the speech therapist.

Youse guys sound like a couple wimps.  Physical therapy can hurt but when you see progress the pain melts away.  One simply needs the mental fortitude to make one's self believe it's not so bad and it won't be so bad.  However, I certainly hope I never need PT again!  Evil crazy2

I believe I do that myself. Comes from years of having to get the job done no matter what it takes, and is a lot of the reason I'm where I am today (both the good AND the bad LOL!).

I've had to learn the difference between "good pain" and "bad/injurious pain".

She tried to kill me that day...

Heh...my trainer (at the gym) told me in the midst of a recent and somewhat grueling HIIT (high intensity interval training) session, "You're getting kind of hard to kill." Smiley

Quote from: Chrisj
One simply needs the mental fortitude to make one's self believe it's not so bad and it won't be so bad....

Heh, mental fortitude I've got...much like the weight-loss game, progress can't be seen daily...indeed, even a close examination weekly doesn't show much...the benefit has to be imagined based on vague assurances in a not precise field of work...so it takes a bit of "sheer will" to do the deeds...and indeed, in the case of the shoulder therapy, to carve out the additional 2 hours/day on my own to hurt myself without coaching...

PT lady says most folks do about 25% of what they're asked to do. I'm doing about 150%...

The only "tough" or discouraging thing I face with this thing at the moment is that each milestone I manage to hit...or level of pain I manage to push through...I CAN'T say, "There! Done with that!" as I have to repeat this entire process on the OTHER shoulder as soon as I can get this one to a "life is survivable without solid chance of re-injury" level.

  After almost meeting my maker in 2015, I had gone down to 117lbs.
I was feed through a tube for 6 months plus eating everything in site.
  The doctors suggested that I start an exercise program.
 Well I did and , and now I have became what is called a Gym Rat.

When I got into my 30s a doctor discovered that it took abnormaly long time for local anesthesia to take effect on me. I had a few dozen minor surgeries in those <30 years. When I told them I could feel: stitches, cutting, grinding, toenail and fingernail removal, etc, they always just said, "That's just the pressure you're feeling". My pain tolerance is fairly high. I like knowing it will take effect if they just wait a while.

I like knowing it will take effect if they just wait a while.

This reminds me of my vasectomy, where as soon as he finished poking novocain into my scrotum (itself the most painful part of the procedure, not the stab, but the burning juice) he reached for the scalpel.  You are not out but wide awake for these things, and I'm watching, and I said..... Hey doc, are we in a hurry or something?  Couldn't we give the novocain 30 seconds or so to work?  He calmly replied... well, the scalpel is razor sharp and we are only poking a very small hole through extremely thin skin on each side, which you will only barely feel anyway.  I asked... well then why the heck give the novocain at all?  And he smiled at me and said.... because if we didn't give you the novocain, people would think we were savages.

The burning novacian down there was far more attention getting than poking a couple small holes with a real sharp knife which I felt entirely as no more than two small pinches.  Which BTW, was all done well under 60 seconds after the shot.

Thereafter the nurse suggested we talk about something else, and I agreed.

Sorry for the small drift.

This reminds me of my vasectomy, where as soon as he finished poking novocain into my scrotum (itself the most painful part of the procedure) he reached for the scalpel.  You are not out but wide awake for these things, and I'm watching, and I said..... Hey doc, are we in a hurry or something?  Couldn't we give the novocain 30 seconds or so to work?  He calmly replied... well, the scalpel is razor sharp and we are only poking a very small hole through extremely thin skin on each side, which you will only barely feel anyway.  I asked... well then why the heck give the novocain at all?  And he smiled at me and said.... because if we didn't give you the novocain, people would think we were savages.

The burning novacian down there was far more attention getting than poking a couple small holes with a real sharp knife which I felt entirely as no more than a small pinch.

Thereafter the nurse suggested we talk about something else, and I agreed.

Sorry for the small drift.  

Going with the drift.  When I got my vasectomy the nurse came in the room with a 50cc syringe and screwed on a twelve foot long intercostal needle.  He started drawing up a full syringe.   I immediately with horror  apparently in my voice asked him what the hell that was for. He injected the fluid back into the bottle and said "oh nothing, just kidding".  WOWSERS

Would I be correct in assuming both our stories took place at USAF hospitals?  (March, for me)   Smiley
