Good news, Mr OT (aka Leo) my leg has improved immensely! Thanks for your advice... apparently whatever was wrong is much less wrong now! woo hoo!

Chris I e-mail the details to you. I just found out yesterday, I was in so much shock I just posted it here then watched heroes.

Help, I fell asleep in an awkward position and now my back has seized up. Oddly enough it feels better when I stand, but if I bend down or move or twist it hurts like hell. It feels like every muscle has cramped.

Wait...is Cal gone for Christmas? Is he doing this thing for Sylvan learning center? And how come I'm the last to know? Your friends know before me.

One of my co-workers has some mysterious disease that has to be treated by a strange cocktail of cancer, crohn, and other diseases drugs. The thing is she is so optimistic and happy that you would not figure that anything is wrong with her. She carries on as if nothing was wrong. Though every six weeks she has to go get her treatment. So what am I trying to say? Stop complaining about your life, it aint that bad... Who am I kidding? I'll complain until I can't complain anymore.

Supporting AD theory that corporations should be the only ones paying taxes

$36 billion in bounses between 173,000 people is around 200K each. Makes you wonder why the hell we are still doing our lame ass job. And yes this is their bonus not their salary. So on top of their huge salaries they are getting more money.

the rest of my leg is fine, and i've now simply got localized pain, instead of radiating... all other muscles work hunkey dorey... and this one seems to be improving, i can climb some stairs at normal speed again, and putting on my pants this morning didn't involve me lifting my leg as though i was a puppet. how's that?

i've been putting heat pads on it in the hopes that, if i've stretched something, it'll respond better being warm and loose than cold and tight... and things seem to be getting better, slowly...

Thanks for the advice. It's hard not to favour my leg, but I'm trying, and the sleeping, i think, made a difference, i'm less stiff this morning.

sweet, i like this. we have our own advisors on here... for almost all major disciplines and physical ailments!


oh, and Leo, I'm disappointed... you're coming up to e-town, and I'm going north to Grande Prairie. So, I'm not going to see you. I do hope you have a great time with everyone else though.

Overstressed would explain the pain and the weakness if it was acutely weak, but it would be ok by now if it was that. How about the rest of the muscles in your leg?

looks like Al is going to be the only kid at home for a while. My bro is heading up to that putrid tar pool (almost literaly) they call Fort mac for 2 months.
