The Good News Thread!

There are more green cross signs than gas stations in CO.

Oh, and starting last Tuesday, they joined the civilized world by selling real beer in grocery stores and convenience stores, instead of limiting it to 3.2% alcohol. The 3.2 law was great when it pertained to 18 year olds. Pointless when they moved to 21 like the rest of the nation.

 

3.2 beer. Diet soda. Decaffeinated coffee.

'Nuff said.

 

Hmmm, you can get drunk on 3.2 beer!!! So many nights at the Fifth Quarter in Durango drinking pitchers of 3.2 beer, "dancing" with pretty girls to MTV videos blasting on massive projection screens, or watching football games in the same establishment. 18-20 years old. Not to worry, we all drank responsibly and Ubered home. Orrrrrrrrr, not.

 

I get my wife back today!!!!!!!!!!!

Game on.

Got some trail running in today! Not very fast, but fock did it feel good, and this weather is dreamy

 

Good news we are slow in the shop and are building this.

 

I don't know what's better, the Tomac 204 or the Hanebrink fork.

 

I know right, that frame is brand new, never been ridden. It's been sitting upstairs since they stole the rear shock off of it.

 

The old standby Don't talk about your health unless it's good is a worthy MO, IMO...

I'm starting PT today for my back, which is promising. But the deal to me is that I'm starting to be hopeful about riding. I got more hurt from my soil sampling in Dec than I realized. Back muscles got soft, alignment went out, with all the symptoms of an aggravated L5 bulge (and other residual issues), which an xray/diagnosis corroborated.

I reluctantly used meds for a couple of days on the advice of my radiologist rider friend, and along with a light exercise routine, I'm at a high point many weeks in the making. With ultrasound, electro-stim, etc., I should be riding in a matter of weeks. Where I just came from, that is some damn good news!

 

But, do the CBDs ease the discomfort?

 

Good question, Mike...

I used good old hydrocodone with a scrip muscle relaxer and Aleve for inflammation. I tried a few oral THC/CDB drops leftover from my tooth extraction, but honestly, I needed the big guns and had no mind to experiment. I had to get helped to the ER, couldn't even get off the floor, let alone into my truck. I denied the IV fentanyl on the ride over, but after that went in for the prescribed med program. Kept it to 72 hours and then went off everything to promising results.

I do like the oral delivery system the cannabis product I tried, so I'll be open to trying CDB for pain in a less urgent scenario. And there surely will be one...

 

Woo hoo, freaking fantastic news!!! Glad you’re bike will have her man back!
I didn’t want to post but a biggish Run last week set me back. Near the end of a run a shooting pain went through my knee followed by severe swelling..it’s been unstable and pretty painful ever since...fock!
Anyways....injuries...they suck..but life is still rad!

 

Thanks, sara, but damn I hate hearing about joint trouble! You have the right 'tude. That's so important – and top of mind after visiting a new PT today. Sounds like you might want to get it checked out. Hoping it's just a hiccup!

 

That is good news... You had us worried there for a bit.

 

Sh!t!

Cranking the hopes and prayers machine back on for you.

 

Darling, did I not suggest to you that you take it easy on yourself, on your knee? Your body told you otherwise, dint it? Lesson learned.

Fear not, I have full faith that you will be back in due time.

 

Thanks Mike. Dr wants to see me next wk, hopefully just a minor setback.
Heal up fast!

 

Soaking up those good wishes amigo..thank you

 

Duuuude, doc said I could run trails again..so I ran! But yeah..lesson learned, running will be the last thing added to the playlist.
Thanks Ssssnake

 

Let this be a teachable moment...knee is hosed, you probably should ride instead of run. Just sayin'. If your doc is not a runner, listen not.

 

That sucks.....take it easy and let it recover.
