ok, so here is a QUOTE i made last week.

"I am kinda a extream addrenaline junkie, and I need a hobby that anit so exteamly dangerous. I already have more metal in my body than your car dose. so if I keep my mind on growing fruits/veggies/cannabis I mite not be bored and endup doing dangous stuff..... "

well I BLEW my back surgury apart................... guess how......... watering a fucking POT plant...... with a 1 gallon jug....... I was reaching and watering, and than I here/fell a "POW" I drop to the ground. I ripped my bolts lose, now where my Broken back was FIXSATED, it now moves and grinds and crack and cruches every time I breath.

I do 100 mph wheelie on my street bike, I have jumped over houses on my dirt bike, I have back fliped pedle bikes, snowmobles, dirt bikes, (even tryed a ATV,didn't work tho).
I have cleared 150 foot triples on dirtbikes, I have raced/won every kind of bike racing I could find.

2 days before I poped a bolt lose I was doing 80 mph drifts on icey back roads, spun out and did a Number on the veical (smashed/flat tires/bent wheels. almost rolled. ( I stay safe doing the most dangerage stuff i can find to do, but when i try to do safe stuff like water a plant I end up PERMANENTLY DISABLYING my Back....... My back and legs are rebuild with Titanum, but they can't go back in and fix it :( So my lease on life is up I guess. they were abily to rebuild me once, but I just F-ED that up....

That sucks. It is amazing how much we don't take care of our bodies, and don't care, then we get older and wish we could go back in time and kick our own ass! Good luck to you.

You sound like a "crazy" fucker I knew who use to work for a contractor I use to call on .... Sorry to hear about your bad luck man.
I use to have my back go out on me from stupid, simple shit like that as well. My back finally went out on me 3 years ago to the point that I couldn't get off the floor. I had to crawl to get my phone and call my family, they had to drive 2 1/2 hour north to help me get off the floor. After several epidurals and bottles and bottles of meds the pain would still be there and I needed something stronger for pain. The Dr. said the only thing stronger he could give me was morphine and in order for me to get that I would need to be hospitalized. So i went to the hospital and they got me hooked up on an I.V. they ran another MRI and my lower back was shot. He did surgury that night and I was up walking down the hall way 12hrs later. Released from the hospital 16 hours after my surgury. I would say the surgury was a huge success from the point I was at before hand, but I still cannot sit for long periods of time without pain and cannot do the things I once did when I was younger before my back got messed up.
I did alot of research on this doctor and everything I found out about him was positive. Many experts consider him one of the best. I hear he worked under the Dr. that did surgury on JFK. His name is Gerald Schall, he works out of St. Mary's in Saginaw. It may be worth a shot to pay him a visit and see if he can help you out.
Best of luck, I know what its like to have a messed up back.

I have bolts holding my spine together, I poped the bolts lose. They can't fix it.... I am praying I can still ride a street bike, I will have to take it easy if i do. but just breathing makes it all grind and vibrate my brain. (my spine transfurs the sound/vibratation up my spine. I hear it every time i move. backxray.jpg

Man, when you hit old age you're going to be paying for all that abuse you gave your body.

I produced my own drip irrigation using gallon jugs. No lifting (well just a little) and NO reaching. Cheap too. Occasionally an emitter might plug up but I don't have to do all the gyrations to water.

Good luck to you. And go see your doctor.

Wow.... that does look messed up man, I feel for ya.
Really, if you have Medical insurance? I would at least give this Dr. a chance to look at it. Even if he can give you some relief and help you carry on somewhat of a normal life with some mobility and not be confined to a wheel chair down the road. I cant imagine how it must feel and the possible damage that can be happening to you nerves and spinal cord with everything moving around.
Again best of luck to ya Bro.

I can't go see my doctor, I have no insurance, and he wants $800 for just a office visit (I guess haveing a top doctor anit allways a good thing)

A couple years ago I had a lower bolt come lose, the ones bolting my spine to my pelvis, and he said I have to live with it, witch i have for the last 2 years but now the bolts that are higher are coming lose, and now my back is moving where it is not supossed too.

I guess it is time to swicth my life up alittle (i love bikes, but mite have to move on to cars.

At least I had a pretty badass/exciting life up intill now. live fast, die young

I have no regets about any of it, I just wish there was a reset button :( this shit sucks........ my life is FUCKED :( i just dont know anymore

That sucks KushDog. I feel your pain. Years of hockey did a number on my back and knees as well. You sound like you're beyond where I'm at, but I find stretching to be a real key for my back pain. Tight hamstrings, hip flexors, etc will lead to lower back problems in a hurry. If you ever do get your back put back together, focus on core muscle strengthening, and stretching. The trainers I worked with for years hammered that in to my head .... and they were right!

No insurance. This is a topic that pisses me off. Health care should not be reserved for only those that can afford it. I grew up in Canada so I have a little different mentality when it comes to health care, but I think the health care industry in this country sucks balls! It's all about greed and profit instead of the health and well being of people. Completely ass-backwards, imo.

I agree.... why should some one that doesnt have insurance be denied or go into a life long debt to be able to have the same quality of life that someone with insurance has.

Adrenaline is awesome, nothing like it. I don't say this to many people, specially a stranger, but enough is enough, fuck dude! lol
You need to write a book, not officially publish it but write it and keep a copy of it in the saddle bag of your TRIKE, along with your stash. lol.
Many of us realized that adrenaline rush isn't the same after your body is all fucked up.

Blue Cross has a plan for people your age. My niece is 22 y/o and pays about $90/month. I think it's called, Young Blue. Complete coverage too.

Check it out. Then say this happened after you got insurance. Or wait a year (pre-existing conditions) and do it then, if you can wait that long.

I am 25, going on 80
