Grattan 2008 Tossed out back, No go

TogaTim · 06-24-2008, 04:05 PM

All,

Well, I have a garage available and 3 days deposit down if anyone wants or needs them. I tossed out my back this last weekend and am on a diet of Vicoden and Flexoril. I tried to saddle up and basically about passed out. I don't think it's be good going into the bus stop and freezing up.

I'd prefer to just "give" the deposits on the days to somebody who really wants to go, but just can't handle the $$ factor. If everyone wants to use my garage space as misc storage, cafe, etc that would be fine with me.

I am crushed to say the least. I have been geeked like no ones business about next week, and I literally started to choke up and cry when I realized there was NO way I was going to pull this off.

Gawd, I hate getting old.

Get a hold of me and let me know if anyone is interested,

TW

So sorry to hear that Tim. Go see a chiropractor if you can. Some of their methods might be questionable but I know that it helped me tremendously when I hurt my back a few years ago.

HondaGalToo · 06-24-2008, 04:13 PM

Ah, sorry to hear. Try massage therapy, too.

abtech · 06-24-2008, 04:26 PM

Dayumm. Was this from riding?

There are still a few days before you would need to load up. Hold onto your spot and take ND4SPD's advice and see what you can do.

TogaTim · 06-24-2008, 04:30 PM

going to see the bone cracker tomorrow, have been on a heating pad all I can. Nope not from riding,

planting flowers. Bent over to pick up some soil and BAM.....

ND4SPD · 06-24-2008, 04:36 PM

Switch to ice. Heating pads are generally bad for that sort of stuff. They make even more blood go the affected area increasing the swelling/pressure on the nerves. Lots of ice and stretching if it doesn't hurt.

SheepOfBlue · 06-24-2008, 05:09 PM

You got time to heal.... get at it. Oh and next time lie and say you were killing flowers it will go over better.

Heal fast and heal well.

TogaTim · 06-24-2008, 08:57 PM

You guys have swayed me to not give up yet. I'll switch to ice and keep stretching. Now if I could just find a small asian gal to walk on my back for a couple of hours.....

slickwill · 06-24-2008, 09:01 PM

Crap, there goes my ride...you have to get better!!

you can pick between Coke & Pepsi

Hammer · 06-24-2008, 09:47 PM

yep, try the ice. You can also try epsom salt in the bath water as well to take some of the sorness out. Bayer back and body does wonders for back pain. I eat them like tic tacs anymore.

SheepOfBlue · 06-24-2008, 10:40 PM

bananas keeps cramps down

TogaTim · 06-24-2008, 10:41 PM

i'm loving the Flexoril.....very nice. I definately shouldn't operate a motor vehicle like the label says while I'm taking it...

That's a fairly pejorative way to refer to Randy. He can't help where he was born.

TogaTim · 06-25-2008, 12:23 PM

I don't know if those guys are Drs or Torture Artists.....

....Feeling better so far. I actualy bought some Midol! Just taking it easy. I'm going to try and throw a leg over the bike tonight and go for a spin. We'll see how it goes from there. At least I'll have an excuse for being slow!!!!

REST! Don't try the bike tonight. you should be OK by Monday morning, but I would just take it easy before then.

Trailer is already loaded, basically just need to put the bike and tires in.

As far as no sex, that definately isn't a problem!
