Terrible Day

[sickhouse]

Life has ups and life has downs (DURRRR). Learn to live with it or quit. That being sad sucks to be you, but after darkness comes... more darkness and maybe after that some sunshine! Variance irl.

[Lauda]

I feel so sorry for you. A cloud of bad luck has flown over you. I wish you all the best, and good fortune in the future.
Hope you recover soon!

[ManeBjorn]

Quite true.
The last year and half has definitely been the bad end of Variance. LOL
I am trying to be positive it just gets very difficult at times.  Depression makes your mind go places you normally would not and think things that make no sense.
I am not giving up but sometimes I have to let it out or I go nuts.
Hopefully sunshine will happen this summer.  I need a break in my bad Variance for a change. 

Thanks.

Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I know sometimes things get bad and then good and inbetween.  I just have never expierienced anything like this.
Before breaking bones or dislocating joints playing hockey or professional wrestling was just a minor bump and I easily overcame it.
This back injury stopped me in my tracks.  I don't give up but sometimes I just want to so badly.

Thanks again.  I hope you have a great evening.

For all those who had a bad day :

"(...)

And...always look on the bright side of life...
 Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
 There's something you've forgotten
 And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
 When you're feeling in the dumps
 Don't be silly chumps
 Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
 Always look on the light side of life...

and this one - always make me smile even while crying

Monty Python always makes me laugh.
The Don't worry be happy song was cool for the first couple weeks when it came out then it got so overplayed I remember me and everyone around me hated it.  LOL
Now it is fun nostalgia.

Good links thanks.

Finally after snow storm delays got to see my surgeon today.
I am having a double fusion.
Before they can schedule my surgery I have to have a diskography where they inject dye into the disks and take images to make sure they are getting all the bad disks and to see the extent of the bad one's damage.
I'm not looking forward to it but I am hoping for some relief from the pain and hopefully the falling and spasms.

I hope you are all doing well.

[b!z]

I hope you get better OP.

[Predatorian]

damn, that's rly bad luck for u, wish u more health and back to 100% efficiency. Take care mate!

[ManeBjorn]

Thank you.
I am trying to stay positive that this helps some.  It has been rough.

I hope you get better OP.

[ManeBjorn]

Thank you.
I know I will never hit 100% again but to be able to move better and be able to be more active with my 15 month old daughter would be great.

[ManeBjorn]

I just want to thank you all.
Your encouragement has been great and very helpful.
I know I only seem to post here when I am in a bleak mood and I apologize for that.

Things are progressing.  In the next few weeks I will have the surgery and hopefully I will be on my way to feeling much better.

Thanks again everyone.

Not everyone has the cash, but if everything (standard western medicine) fails - since several years, China has developed some darn amazing breakthroughs using adult stem cell therapy, causing an enormous influx of foreign patients seeking help.

So far, even some longtime paraplegics managed to walk again (which at home their specialists deemed absolutely impossible), so neuronal recovery options using these therapies far exceed what traditional medicine in our hemisphere can offer at this point.

As said, however, that trip with 1-2 weeks on location will set you back about 30000$...

I've looked around for a very well-made documentation about these results by following several patients from around the globe to china and their treatment (gave chinese specialists, the patients and their doctors at home room to voice their opinions), but I can't find it anymore. It was about an hour length, I believe it was taped around 2010.
I do remember one of the patients filmed was a paraplegic US citizen that suffered from a severe car accident a long time ago, after several treatments he was able to walk short distances using normal canes.

[ManeBjorn]

That is something that I watch closely.
I hope that these progressions become more affordable and widespread so more people can get this done.
To have my spinal cord and nerves heal properly would be awesome.  That is so much of the pain the scar tissue that they developed.
I know in texas there is a center that is doing great stuff with actually repairing disks as well.  This cuts down on fusions.
There are so many medical advances out there it is exciting to think what the future will be like.
I will google for that video it sounds great.

Thanks for the heads up.

It's not exactly what I looked for but it seems to show the same clinic :

(part 1 of a series of documentiations, focussed on the results of neuronal recovery with the method mentioned above)

These google video search results basically all point in the same direction and show different individuals and their results.

Maybe another good place to look : http://stemcellschina.com/

[ManeBjorn]

I will check these out.
Thanks.
It is amazing what they are doing now.  In ten years it's going to be even more advanced.

Mine sucks too. Fucked up in SAT. Waited for 5 hours to be picked up. Forgot the charger. Almost got hit by 3 cars.... God dammit life

[ManeBjorn]

That sucks.
Don't give up though you can retake it.
Sounds like a messed up day for sure.  Hang in there.
