Ahhhhhhh....staying out of jail is good!

**somo** · 06-07-2018, 01:43 PM

Knee surgery for me in the morning. Tore my meniscus, something is delaminating, etc. Orthoscopic again. They both need replaced, but I am too young, active, and good looking still! (2 outta' 3 ain't bad)!

**Lvg nghtmare** · 06-07-2018, 04:36 PM

Ouch...
Which 2?

Surgery? Sounds like a great way to pass a morning....sending up prayers for your surgery........ and your looks.

Keep us posted!

**Leah987** · 06-08-2018, 06:49 PM

Ok, Somo, as far as I know, you may be still stuck in a hospital room somewhere, or even in surgery, as late as those surgeons run, but.......I gonna' talk 2 U anyway........Hang in there, bud, you've got this! Post when you can, we love you and are thinking of you. Have a very speedy recovery.... ((hugs))

.....because.....we need a pole dancer tonight!

**somo** · 06-08-2018, 11:31 PM

No pole dancing, but watching me on crutches is pretty entertaining! All is well. I guess it went well, and the swelling isn't bad. We'll see how bad it is after a night with no pain meds...

Glad to hear everything turned out okay! Ice and ibuprofen? You may be feeling this one in the morning.

**froggy_069** · 06-09-2018, 06:40 PM

Can cinderblock come out and play? Since you're laid up with the knee I'll look after him for you

I hope you're feeling okay!

**Leah987** · 07-04-2018, 11:06 AM

Somo, I am so disappointed...what kind of pole dance was that the other night? You're not supposed to wear an eskimo parka and fall off the pole! All Dr. Sawbones would give me for that was iron tablets.

**Redy2BeeHappy** · 07-09-2018, 02:52 PM

Lol... little Cinderblock... I still giggle everytime I thnk of that joke! I hope your knee surgery is healing!

**Lvg nghtmare** · 07-12-2018, 07:54 AM

Just me at your doorstep...
Thinking of you....

**Leah987** · 07-13-2018, 04:24 PM

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO! KNOCK KNOCK! Hey! Are you going to make us camp out in the field with the cows? Are you HOOOOOOOOOME? Hey....."Mr. I just had surgery and don't get on here to check in with us".......this is not the way it works. You have surgery, you keep your friends posted....right?!

Right.

**somo** · 07-14-2018, 10:36 AM

I just needed a little "Me" time I guess!

All is well, took a little vacation and unplugged. Back to work in the NW, enjoying triple digit temperatures..

The knee surgery didn't help much. Both need to be replaced, but that makes me nervous. It's bad now, but could be worse! I won't be pole dancing for awhile...

**Lvg nghtmare** · 07-31-2018, 08:09 PM

You still in time out.
Hope all is well with you...

**somo** · 08-01-2018, 07:52 AM

Having surgery on the other knee today. Working long hours to catch up before taking a long weekend. First knee needs replaced. Will find out about the other after today. I hope all is well with everyone! I haven't kept up at all. These triple digit temperatures and wildfires have worn me to a frazzle!

Thank God your young bounce right back in no time pole dancing....
My thoughts and prayers are with you today...

**Leah987** · 08-02-2018, 08:50 AM

Somo? How 'ya doin'?

**Autumnhopes** · 08-02-2018, 06:11 PM

Somo....
Please update

thinking of u & how possible surgery/rehab & always the hard question for us....

“Should I take an opioid if/when I need it?”
Ughhhhh... gets me every time. That’s how I always end up w a practically constant bottle of dilaudid.
My migraines & now the MS diagnosis

It’s been tough.

But the MMJ (I’ve discussed in my thread) is helping me more then any opioids!!!
I didn’t think it would... but it relaxes u at night to sleep. Gives u a little energy during the day
Wow!
It won me over!! The migraines have been hard but it helps me rest & completely relax. That helps w all the spasms with the migraine & nausea. Little by little I’m putting more meds down.. (with my doctors knowledge)

Somo I feel like u have so much on you

.
Have u looked into Marij****a. MMJ? I know ppl say it’s schedule one & we’re drug addicts etc....

Here’s what I say: it’s a plant! From the earth.. use with caution. Use legally as I am. But it has healing properties in it & I can feel it trying to heal me from the inside out. My organs have not hurt & had stabbing pain in abdomen since taking MMJ. Everyday I feel a little better,

Seriously Somo, think about it!! Tell me what you think??

**TheCib** · 08-02-2018, 06:34 PM

Autumnhopes

I'm glad you decided to experiment with mj
In addition, glad it's helping you. Sounds like your doing the right thing with a medical card. There is nothing wrong with using mj to help pain.
Glad your doing ok and still in my prayers with the condition you havr

Hope all went well with the surgery...
Can't help ya with the triple digits it's awful here to.
Update when you can. Do you need both replaced?

**somo** · 08-18-2018, 09:56 AM

All went well. I went a whole week after surgery with nothing. Getting behind at work forced some long days, so as needed for a few days. I tried a CBD topical on my knees before the surgeries hoping to get some relief, but nothing. Off everything again for awhile as life is easier for a bit. Dreading the work picking back up tho. I am spending my 3 day weekends at the moment avoiding walking or standing as much as possible to make it through the next week.

Glad and thankful you are all thinking about me! I am doing much better than I deserve for sure!

Waiting for the b&g and the new and improved pole dancer

~hope all is well my friend

**somo** · 09-14-2018, 08:04 AM

Well.... I felt really pretty good last weekend. Played 54 holes of golf in one day... It takes about 10 minutes just to get outta' bed each morning since!

I have missed a lot of golf this summer because of the knee surgeries, so I tried to make up for it in one day!

Things here are good. No pole dancing anytime soon tho!

Well dang it I have to find a new place to hang out...
Yea it amazes me how the addict thinking works more of everything and anything..

Don't know much about golf except for you hit a little white ball as far as the eyes can see makes no sense to someone with bifocals than try and find it sometimes it hides in those little holes oddly enough that have cups in them than do that all over again... This is how I learned the definition of insanity...
Glad your doing ok...

**Lvg nghtmare** · 09-25-2018, 04:06 PM

Hey Somo...
How are you coming along these days? Don't want to hear the whinging just want to know when the next pole dance is lol...

**somo** · 09-26-2018, 06:01 AM

I am finer 'n frog hair!

No complaints. Knees still hurt but I ain't a spring chicken anymore except in my mind! Been busy so I haven't kept up much... you doing okay?
