Freebird Posted May 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2011 Only about 165 people signed up for Freebird's Maintenance Day. Heck folks, we had about 250 last year. It's getting close now so please go to the calendar and sign up if you are coming. I want to make sure that I order enough food. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=220&day=2011-6-4&c=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double D Posted May 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2011 Don and All; I have been to the last 4 Maintenance Days and hate to say that I have to sit this one out. As most of you know I have a bad back and I have learned to live with it. The problem now is that the disc in my lower back have pinched my siatic nerve and the pain down both of my legs is almost unbearable. I am having a nerve block on both nerves next week. The doctors thinks that will help with the pain and I hope he is right. If it wasn't for the ice packs and my morphine I really don't think I would make it. While you are all having fun and eating good, just put in a good word with the Man upstairs for me. See you all next year (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an MRI done Monday and two discs are bulging quite a bit. Have some sort of tear and one disc is almost filling spinal cavity from bulge. I have had kidney stones & I think I would rather have them than this. I am on 8 percocets a day and that only makes the pain tolerable. Saw my family doctor Friday and he is going to get me an appt with a Nuero surgeon. Have another option offered but this doctor/chrio said outcome is not guaranteed. It is a modern form of traction with a Lordex system. Not cheap & insurance doesn't cover it. At this point I am still planning on being at MD, but it won't be on bike. I haven't worked on bike at all now for two weeks. It is still nowhere near completion from its winter rebuild. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
