Rooftop Greenhouse Grow Amsterdam

Back from the ER. MRI on Monday. I am using my tablet so my posts will be short.

Thanks for the support sixers!

Keeping you in my thoughts, mo
Hoping for a good prognosis.

Thanks Doobie!

I don't mean to sound like a bummer, but I am gona anyway cause I am a bit drunk, lol. I still remember getting home after that dreaded cup game and my step dad looking at me and going, "that's not a good injury son", and he would know, he had been a pro himself. I had never had an injury in my whole career then just when i was in my late teens looking for the contract, bam, or should I say, POP. Doctor told me to get a grip and get my head down in my studies, prick! Anyway, you'll be alright mate, worse thing that can happen is that you will get arthritis when you get old, lmfOLDbo

Thanks DST! I was a skateboarder back in 1976 and I was skating on a sore knee. Should have rested but I thought I was indestructible. Bailed off of my board in a bowl and hyper extended my knee. It bent really far in the wrong direction. Next morning my mom came in to yell at me for not going to school. I tossed the covers open and my knee was the size of a watermelon! Took me to the doctor and he said surgery or novocane and cortisone. He took out a big needle with a spade at the tip. He slid the needle under my kneecap and I passed out. When I came to I could walk and I never had surgery. It would go out on me occasionally. This time is bad. Wish I knew a good surgeon.

Cheers,
Mo

I have bad knees, being heavily into snakeboarding in my teens had a massive part to play in this! If I'm down in a low position I know for sure my knee will pop out, hurts like a bitch when you straighten your leg and it pops or thuds back into place.

funny thing is, I'm thinking of buying a new board and getting back into it, never too old n all that!!

Stay High.

I find the best orthopedic surgeons are at places that specialize in sports medicine. They are used to working on broken joints and bones. cof

I thought the same thing. I started skating at Etnies in Lake Forrest. It's a free skatepark. I was getting back in form going at lunch time had the place to myself. One day it was a half day at the local elementary school and the place was full of groms. I took a line I had a hundred times before and one of the groms looked like he was going to eat it and I was distracted and missed my landing by a hair. One leg went down the wall with my board while the other remained stuck on the lip. I did the splits so hard my chin hit my foot. I heard a giant rip in my leg and felt what I can only describe as a rope unraveling up the inside of my leg.

Doctor said i ripped my abductor and hamstring. Two days later my leg turned black! Took me six months to walk without a limp and a year to walk normally. I am now officially retired.

Cheers,
Mo

Im glad my mom never bought me a skateboard.....god i was a dumb shit when i was younger. But at least i still got my legs, for now

While we're on the subject, I got an ankle that likes to get its roll on, caused from an old skating injury.

Have faith in modern medicine, some of the things they can do these days defy belief. Hope everything turns out well in the end. Good Luck man.

Fantastic grow DST

fuck mo hope it's not as bad as it sounds. thoughts are with you man.

Thanks Don! I am not taking any chances of doing irreversible damage. Done that too many times before. Hurt it on Friday evening and gave it a try and slept on it. Saturday morning at 7 am I knew it wasn't right. Waited till 9 for my medical group's clinic to open and when we got there asked them what they could do. Said they would evaluate and send me to the ER! I could have just gone to the ER at 7!

So now we drive 20 minutes back to the ER by our house. Luckily there was no wait. They were great and basically said that they had to get an X ray that wouldn't show anything and then I would be cleared to get an MRI. They can't perform an MRI so I get to go through all of this crap again tomorrow.

Funny thing is that the x ray tech said that she saw something on the x ray! Then the 12 year old doctor said there was nothing on the x ray and then he had me put all of my weight on my bad knee and shimmy side to side! I am sure that was good for the injury! I could feel things popping and clicking. No grinding though.

Plan tomorrow is MRI and consultation with the Orthopedic doctor.

Cheers,
Mo

fuuuuuck shimmy shimmy on your fucked knee, i'd have told him to go get the senior registrar and be thankful you didn't kick him with the good leg. more experience i have with general practitioners the more i realise they nothing about anything more serious than a cough/cold or broken bone. anything else you may as well roll straight up to the hospital.

keep us posted on the MRI man.

Mo, I'm so sorry. That's a real shame. Don't know if you are a football (nfl) fan, but Adrian Peterson is an inspirational story of recovering from a ligament injury. He tore his ACL and MCL in his left knee Dec 2011. He started game 1 in Sept and ended up only 9 yards short of setting the single season rushing record and won the mvp. I hope things work out for you.

I dig the blue outline on the plant D. Crazy stuff.

MRI is done. Got a DVD of the pics. I should try and post some! It is so detailed and there are definitely some wonky bits in there Hopefully they can stick the Dyson in there and suck all the bad bits out

On better news, here are some pics from the nursery:













Cheers,

You should check out Marcus Lattimore who was drafted by the 49ers this year, he'll be a good story in a few years.

How about RG3? If he can come back then I will be building a greenhouse in a week
