I hope you are well and I appreciate your concern more than you could ever know , but I am not going anywhere until my life is back to where it was ...........I am not going out like that ..............and I dont leave friends hanging [ not my style ] We will find you something and I wont quit on you until we do my brother .........You are good people my friend I got you on this one .......if your big ass would move ,then this wouldnt be an issue , but I totally respect your family responsibilties [actually admire them ].....and I will find you something one way or another ............thanks for giving a fuck!!!


To everyone else that has pmed expressing concern ........Thank you so much !!! I am hanging in ..........going through it .....miserable ....but I am very thankful of what I do have .........even at my worst, my life is still quite abit better than most peoples .......so I am ok ,and will be getting back to all of my friends here shortly ...........I am just scattered brained right now and usually cant sit for very long .............

I hope your mom is doing well [ she had a heart attack fellas ] I wish you were here taking care of my broken down ass ........I could sure use a great girl like you in my life .........[ but shoot, I have too much respect and love for you to put into this mess that I call my life right now ] Maybe someday the timing will be right baby girl for us to see what is up between us .............just know I am trying really hard to get things together ........And I will.... sooner than later ..........I hope to be me again in the very near future .....keep your fingers crossed for me ....K ?

what was wrong with your back that required surgery and what is it that they did to you?

back surgery is certainly no joke and i am surprised you are capable of doing much of anything considering the pain you must be in. on that note be VERY careful with the pain killers they give you because they are quite powerful and very much addictive. i have known more than a few people that got addicted to them while recovering from back surgery and that is not something you want to deal with.

take care of yourself

 

[LEX]

Speedy recovery Bro, ..hang in there!

 

[tbonus]

Yes bro, speedy recovery! And ditto what was said about those pain killers. I certainly blew through mine after surgery a couple years back and those things can get even the strongest people.

 

[big-al]

Iabad glad to see your ok, I was getting worried not seeing you post. I always read your input, it is always well thought out. Good to see you're getting back on your feet, literally now.

Nemo .............I had a herninated L -4 , L-5 along time ago .............I had what was called a Lamenectimy [ sp ? ] done and it helped quite abit ............but I had some serious scar tissue as a result and never got my full back strength back .......[ I had pulled a 765 on the deadlift for for what would have been three with straps except that my strap broke and the weight came crashing down so fast and hard it threw me over the bar and into a full length mirror that I broke and got I thrown out of the gym for ...lol ..........jason muller of AE fame there was witness to this lift and several other pretty decent lifts I did before my arrest and end to my bodybuilding pursuits ] Anyway , this summer I got into very good shape [ near contest shape , something I had not been in quite some time ........I was leaner than almost even super I have seen awhile at 242 and honestly clean .......Anyway , I got burned out and had some family stuff going and stayed out of the gym for a couple of months and quit eatting good and ballooned up to 270 or so ......smooth but not fat[genectically like Big A or a thicker Bob Paris ] ....I decided it was time to get back into the gym as I was about to make my big financial move and retire fairly soon after so I better get into a good condition , quit trying to be a bodybuilder anymore , and try to stay a very lean 245 - 250[maybe smaller ] for the rest of my life [ focusing on health and longevity ], and then everything fell apart as you know . Anyway , I tried to stay in the gym even during this hard time because honestly it was all I had left ..........Long story short ......I had some scar tissue shift from my past surgery shift into some nerves and cause me almost constant pain [ even while flat on my back ] My life was in shambles, so I chose not to take any pain meds and tried to bare wiith it .........Finally my doc said enough was enough and said he knew a guy that would go in and clean up the scar tissue with a lazar and try to releive some of my pain ..........he said there was some risk, but I said go for it ............so far I am miserable and attending 2 hrs of physical therapy a day ......Yes , I am in pain and yes in the hospital they pactically had me in a drug induced coma ...........but I refuse to take pain meds now ........I have never liked alcohol or rec drugs .......I see them as a weakness ........besides all this pain keeps me from dwelling on the fact that I just lost 3.5 million , everything I had worked for[ my dream retirement ] , and just how big of hole that I am in at the moment .......very sad but true ............My doctor said he has never seen anyone with my pain threshold and sayes that I am just plain stupid [ I lean more to the later ] ...........I hurt, but I have things to do and responsibilities to owe up to . I make no excuses or want no pitty for where my life is at the moment ............The injuries are my own fault ........I am only med. framed , love to push heavy iron, and to train to failure [ totally not nessary for solid gains ....besides lets be honest ....I am not going to get bigger unless I jump back on gear which isnt going to happen .....I can train as hard as I want and it just isnt going to matter ......I am just stupid and very agressive in the gym as well as out ....this is my fault , so are my other injuries over the last year or so , and so are the risks I took finacially ]
Nemo ........I hope things are well for you and your family ........have a great holidays .......thank you for your advice and concern ........you and I are on the same page my friend ........" Pain is just weakness leaving the body "

Steak .............You are such a kind loving person . I feel blessed to have crossed your path ......when I am alittle more together I will have you come down and visit [ I PROMISE YOU WILL HAVE FUN ]..........It would be an honor to share some time with someone of your quality and character .......thanks for looking out and just know that it always, always works both ways with me my friend ......Thanks for your friendship .......you are good people !!!!

[JonnyO]

I hope you have a speedy recovery bro and sounds like things arent as bad as you thought they were before, glad to hear this. Have a good Christmas!

 

[Homer]

Yes, trying to "tuff" it through that type of pain is detremental to your recovery as well as your attitude. If the pain is bad-take the damn meds! We all want to see you have a speedy recovery. If you are having any problems with the meds that are making you not want to use them PM me and I can tell you how to alleviate the side effects.
Good luck.

 

[nemo]

when i said be very careful with the painkillers i meant just that, be careful.

elevated cortisol levels will increase your recovery time, this is true, but elevated cortisol levels are caused by stress not by pain. taking painkillers will help with pain and that will lower pain related stress but they are highly addictive and there are other methods to lower your stress levels which are not potentially life destroying. believe it or not people that think positively and have supportive network of people around them recover significantly faster than people that do not and that is likely due to lowered cortisol levels alone. so while painkillers definitely do have their place i think they should be used much more sparingly than some doctors suggest.

however, it is much easier to subscribe someone pills than it is to make them have a positive outlook on life. a major failing in medicine that they have a tendancy to treat symptoms and i think everyone should be both careful of that and aware of where that can lead them.

 

[Iabadman]

Thanks for the advice my friends .............Damm BigboyJ , you are my new hero .........." what doesnt kill makes you stronger I guess ..huh ? " I am so sorry that you went through all of that ......I hope you have found peace and happiness in your life these days ......homer[the dog that I bought for the kid I am putting through college is named homer ....I got it for him after his 15 year old brother was killed last summer ] .......I am hurting but I just got home from therapy and I am already ahead of schedule .......so I am going to bare the pain without them .......my cortisol levels are off the roof reguardless , from all that I am going through [ weight was down into the 260s and looking small , fat , and pathetic .....losing muscle from attrophy and stress].....like I said pain is kind of my friend now .......it keeps me living in the now, instead of focussing on what my past was and what I have lost ............I need that far more than alittle more comfort .............thanks again my friends

 

[HELLA SWOLE]

Iabadman- I don't know you or anything, but I have seen many of your posts here, and it amazes me at what your going through. SOunds tough as hell, and honestly I don't know if I could get through all that. You seem like a good guy and a strong willed person, you willbe alright and tehre will be brighter days to come in the future. Basically what I wanted to say to you is, "If you could not get through it, God would not bring you to it" Take care my man, my prayers are with you.

[Steak Helmet]

I have known quit a few people to hooked on OXY...

It is just like heroin...the addiction part. I know of 3 people that went through rehab for it.

A buddy was hit by a drunk driver...he is 360lbs and was on OXY for 6 months....then his DOC just took him off of the pain meds...now being on OXY for 6 months and at the strongest level 120mgs, his body went into withdrawl....it was Mid august, so the temps were mid 90s...now he was freezing...he is 360lbs remember and it was 90 degrees and he had on a winter coat. Then he told me how he almost loses body control...crapping himself or pissing himself...I told him this will go on for 2 to 3 days...he had to take time off of work and was miserable....

so be careful....OXY is a KILLER!!!!

I HAD DONE HEAVY SQUATS...TOOK A DAY OFF AND DID BACK...WHICH WAS MOSTLY SUPPOSED TO BE LAT WIDTH STUFF...MAINLY CHINS...WELL, LIKE A DUMBASS I DECIDED TO THROW IN A COUPLE OF SETS OF BARBELL ROWS...JUST BECAUSE I LIKE THOSE DAMB THINGS! Well, my lower back must have been somewhat fatigued....and I didn't stay light of course....because I felt strong! Ended up with 320 on the bar..I let my form slip just for a second...BANG!! Pulled the hell out of my lower back on the left side mainly. Holy shit...couldn't even take a deep breath it hurt so bad...couldn't walk right...nothing...no sleep.
