The Rat's back
Apr 13^th, 2009 at 12:04pm

Hope everyone is doing well, long time no post, I had a three year break but, getting hammered like old times again..........

I broke out my kud-zu again but kinda forget how much I was taking before.

And talk about forgetting, OMG!!!!! I forgot the pain that beast could conflict, got hit 4 times Sat. night and another 4 times last night, kinda weird tho they would hit a kip 7,8 or 9 but only last 10 to 20 min. just enough to keep me up most of the night.

I took a couple injections of trex, but only have one shot left and no insurance at this time.

A special shout out to all my friends on here and a big hello to all the people I haven't had a chance to meet or talk to.

Wishing you all a pain free days and nights.

I will surf the site, but is there anything new and magical out there yet.

Norm

Heya Norm,

RC seeds don't cause the same level of anxiety as one would think, and there are even a number of Chronics that have recently been able to live virtually PF lives by careful monitoring and keeping dosing schedules as a preventive measure. Wink

O2...having faild some people early on in treatment, have found great success with the higher flow rates of 25lpm and administration by a more reliable mask.

It's worth a shot if you can get rigged up with a welders set up and then order a a new type of mask from the CH.com store.

Hey guys thanks for the welcome, Terry I will give you a call, and Jackie it's good to hear from you as well, tell Blake I do still have my sex stone (I did that joke to a friend of mine but I made him give me my effin rock back LOL)

Actually moved off the river after my divorce, couldn't afford it on my own, small house in Bettendorf only about 10 min away from my old house.

My ex-wife and I are back together thank God, there isn't another woman in this world that would put up with me more then a few weekends, still a party animal (not right now though) getting pretty hammered with the beast and times are a bit tough, dropped about 30k a year and no health insurance.

Everyone seems to really be pushing the 02 it never worked for me before but I may have to give it another try.

I'll give you a call later Pete.

More later,

PFDN

Norm
