As my mother used to say.
No one is willing to work on the ruptured disk in my back because there are others that will go soon. It needs to be done as a group thing I guess. My neck is kind of in the same situation due to arthritis and from years turning around in the tractor.
I have been getting injections in my spinal column to help the arthritis and calm the nerve roots that are being smashed. Today was the first of two procedures to fry the nerves going to five offending vertebrae. They do one side and two weeks later do the other. He's already done 15 different injections in various sites to improve my ability to function. It actually has really helped.
Holy smokes. I've never had such a painful procedure, and I've had quite a lot of things including colon resection.
He put in a probe for each vertebrae until he hit the nerve. Then he electrified it to make sure it wasn't the nerve to my legs (apparently that paralyzes you for a while). The muscles jump and twitch all the while making you nearly wet your pants with pain. Then he hooks up jumper cables and heats each probe to 175 degrees for 90 seconds. Two times. Of course this causes skin burns and other fun things. I couldn't see, but it seemed a lot like what happens when I break out the load tester on a tractor battery.
All this just so I can function and abuse my body some more farming and doing what I love. You have to love modern medicine.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
