[BIG DICK RICK]

Ani, you're a faggot (bundle of sticks).  (<3 you, you mexican)

So should I ask how Rick got that messed up?  Would it be all the black dick?   

I would spare everyone the story, but it's somewhat funny and I know ex will get amusement at my expense over it:

My friends(you know those people that you hang around a lot, and are close to ex?) and I, decided to go drunk sledding in 2004, 2005?  And we went to a hill that has all 4 sides you can sled down in like the middle of a forest.  The steepest side being the side where the tree line is closest to the bottom of the hill, but it's usually no worries cuz it's like 50-60ft away from the very bottom of the hill and you normally don't make it to the trees unless you use wax or are hauling ass down the damn hill.  My buddy and I, passed a 1/5th of mohawk vodka back and forth to each other for like a half an hour, chugging it straight and passing til it was gone.  I was beyond fucked up and decided it was a good idea to blow up the inner tire tube, then put some liquid turtle wax on the bottom of it, laid down on my back and gripped my legs with my arms to fit myself completely on the tube.  As soon as my buddy let me go to go down the hill, I knew I was fucked since I was FLYING down the hill(had fire shooting out of my ass I was going so fast).  And I can relate it to Clark Griswald in Christmas Vacation, when he did what he did hahahah, cept I was on a inner tube.  Before I knew it, I could see trees whizzing past me and my buddies were yelling for me to jump off at this point, so I did and sled like 13ft to the first tree and wrapped my back around it, my hands hit my feet when I wrapped, it was that violent.  I blacked out for over 15 minutes and my buddies had to carry me back to my truck cuz I had no feeling in my legs.  I didn't get feeling back for over 3 days and I refused to go to the hospital(dumb mistake, since I had great insurance at the time), which was the dumbest mistake I made in life but I'm a toughguy so I thought I could tough it out.  And over the years the pain has gotten worse and worse and the only procedure they can perform on me has an 85% of paralyzing me(which sounded like a win/win to me, cuz I figured if they had fucked up and paralyzed me, I wouldn't have to worry about ever feeling the sharp/stabbing pain again.  WRONG.)  The doctor said that if it did go bad(which it more than likely will) that not only will I lose my legs function, but being paralyzed from the mid back down, I would STILL have the pain and it would more than likely be worse than it is now.  And I got into a car accident 2 years ago which jarred my back really bad and made the pain twice as worse and much more constant now so they give me enough meds/pills to keep my entire body numb around the clock.  Thanks for listening, Seacrest OUT.

That sucks man, maybe in the near future they'll come out with a procedure that can help you out.

[ex]

They already have it...stem cells.  Christianity is what's standing in the way ATM.

BTW, wow Rick.  I'm curious, what was the procedure called that they were going to do (the one with 85% failure rate)?  I find it interesting that they would even put forth such an option knowing such a high failure rate.

Also, not sure where you live, but have you looked into medical marijuana?  I have seen some outrageously strong strains out there meant for people in extreme amounts of pain, some with highly narcotic effects and THC levels running near 30%.  Also, there's high-grade bubblehash available and hash food of all kinds.  Just a thought since I know how those opiate-based narcotics are horrible on your body and health long-term.

[BIG DICK RICK]

It was to first go in and decompress the syrinx(air pocket) inside my spinal cord, then put a shunt into it to try to keep it from expanding again.  But since it's directly inside my spinal cord, putting a shunt in is so risky because they'd be fucking with my spinal cord etc.  One tiny mistake = becoming paralyzed.  And they said even after going through all that, I'd need to have multiple surgeries over the years for when the air pocket re-expands(because it will, even with the shunt in, the shunt will only slow it's return).  But the last part of this:,

BTW, wow Rick.  I'm curious, what was the procedure called that they were going to do (the one with 85% failure rate)?  I find it interesting that they would even put forth such an option knowing such a high failure rate.

   

^^^ explained, they actually didn't put forth the option, I had seen over 10 neurologists at this time(all that are in a 100 mile radius of me), and they would each take a long time to study all my MRI'S, EKG's, Bone Scans, CT Scans etc, then would all come out with the same conclusion and tell me:  "There is nothing I can do for you."  After hearing it that many times, I finally asked what was wrong or why they won't move forward with me.  And the one said: "The only doctors who will agree to do the surgeries are really bad doctors with bad records that want a shot at redeeming themselves by doing a very risky procedure to turn their portfolios around.  Any good doctor will tell you they won't touch your back.  You'd have to have like 5 separate surgeries to fix all that is wrong with you and the risk vs reward is too great for one.  In order to get the air pocket to compress, they would have to go into your spinal cord and insert a shunt, and anytime you do anything on the spinal cord, being it's the main nerve in your body, you carry a very high risk of paralysis.  In this case, the shunt procedure carries a very good 85% of you coming out paralyzed." 

And as far as the MJ goes, I have tried many different forms, strands etc and none if it every helped for the pain.  I've taken MJ pills(my friend makes em), cannabis oil in brownies/candy, smoking every potent strand you can get your hands on.  Nothin of that nature works, hell, I'm on morphine 30mg and oxycontin 30mg 6x a day that my pain management doctor has me on and those barely touch the pain.  If you have any other suggestions, please share as I hate being on the pills tbh.  And I'll stop whining and typing out novels after this, I promise

Well even though i find you to be a distasteful asshole, i don't find amusement in your pain. ever think of it as bad karma? sound like you had a rash of bad judgments with bad luck attached to it.  i don't think you have done something so wrong to justify it being that bad, to deserve that.. However i also don't think that you would be sympathetic as me, if the shoe were on the other foot.

[ex]

Not sure what would be able to tap deep spinal-cord damage levels of pain other than high-end narcotics.  Some people have reported success with medical marijuana, for others not so much.  Does depend on the specific type of injury occurring - I do know that internal spinal cord damage outranks all other forms of pain possible in the human body.  Very hard to get rid of that level of pain with any type of drug, legal or otherwise.

One of my friend's dad who was in the Army and got thrown from a vehicle flip over in active combat had an almost the same thing as you, Rick.  Extreme amounts of pain for years, although it might've been worse at the beginning for him.  He was paralyzed from the waist-down for almost a year, yet somehow miraculously he learned how to walk again and over a decade regained his full muscle ability.  However, the pain was extreme and constant.  Never would he have even a minute without sharp, shooting pains pulsating up and down his back.

Anyway, long story short, he got into cocaine because he had tried it as a youth and remembered the numbing effects it had on pain in general.  He told me that cocaine was a better choice than the opiates, because the pain can re-surge through the opiates a lot easier than it can with the cocaine.  It was kind of a strange case to me, since I've always heard that opiates are supposed to be at the top of the pain-killing spectrum, but at least for him, cocaine outranked them by far.

Not saying that cocaine is a good substitute for legal opiate-based pills, just saying it worked for that guy.    But yeah, if you really don't feel like getting into anything illegal/hard like that (which I actually highly do not recommend BTW), I'm not sure what else there really is out there.  It does surprise me that you say medpot didn't work for you - many people with severe back pain and spinal cord injuries hail medpot as the one thing they can take that gets rid of the pain, yet doesn't leave them in the opiate stupor that they all hate.  I know of one medpot patient with a severe spinal cord injury that says he smokes about 5 grams of nearly 30% MMJ every single day, and at that level, it does stop the pain.  But you have to smoke ALL day long, every day, for it to work.

Also, nothing wrong with novels if the content is good.  :>

[fdrjk]

here we go again

[BIG DICK RICK]

Well even though i find you to be a distasteful asshole, i don't find amusement in your pain. ever think of it as bad karma?

Yea, actually I have as I am a firm believer in karma.  But, I was never this much of an asshole til AFTER my injury and after I had many people(mostly family members) steal my pain meds from me and tell me that I fake my pain to get sympathy/and get pain pills etc so I don't think karma had a role here after thinking it over many times.  I remember adren saying in IRC awhile back to someone, about how nice I was when I was under the name "HairYaSs0r" in ra2, then over time became the biggest prick anyone has met. 

#1. Not sure what would be able to tap deep spinal-cord damage levels of pain other than high-end narcotics.  Some people have reported success with medical marijuana, for others not so much.  Does depend on the specific type of injury occurring - I do know that internal spinal cord damage outranks all other forms of pain possible in the human body.  Very hard to get rid of that level of pain with any type of drug, legal or otherwise.

#2. Not saying that cocaine is a good substitute for legal opiate-based pills, just saying it worked for that guy.    But yeah, if you really don't feel like getting into anything illegal/hard like that (which I actually highly do not recommend BTW), I'm not sure what else there really is out there.  It does surprise me that you say medpot didn't work for you - many people with severe back pain and spinal cord injuries hail medpot as the one thing they can take that gets rid of the pain, yet doesn't leave them in the opiate stupor that they all hate.  I know of one medpot patient with a severe spinal cord injury that says he smokes about 5 grams of nearly 30% MMJ every single day, and at that level, it does stop the pain.  But you have to smoke ALL day long, every day, for it to work.

#1.  Yea, that's the problem that most people don't realize is that it being a deep spinal cord injury, it's hard for most drugs to reach that area to successfully relieve pain/numb the area etc.  I've had SO many people tell me to try icing my back or soaking in warm water etc and they just don't understand that neither will reach to the source of the pain, no matter if I hold switch out ice pads constantly for hours or soak in water for hours.  One thing I was thinking about bringing back up to my pain management doctor next time was them trying an epidural or something a bit stronger, with my thinking since being on both morphine AND oxycontin barely touch it, if something is injected directly into the area that I should get much more relief. 

#2.  I had heard many people talk about cocaine and that it could possibly be a much cheaper way to go to numb myself out to the pain.  But, with me being on disability and finally being on great insurance and having a pain management doctor now that will write me out ANYTHING I want, I don't wanna screw any of that up by being caught with it on me or my pain management clinic does perform randoms on everyone every few months so that's all I need for them to find in my system haha.  Same goes for the MJ.  I know I could easily get my medical MJ card, and it would take care of things.  But I don't want to have to smoke the shit all day everyday for it to give me relief.  I HATE the buzz MJ gives you, even the really good shit.  It just makes me lazy as fuck and paralyzes me to where I can't even get up lol(prolly cuz I only do it every once in a blue moon).  But my doc did say last time he could move me up to dilaudid or fentanyl next since I'm at the max on oxy's, but I've heard way too many stories of people OD'in on either of those pretty easily verse oxy's/hydrocodone etc.  So that turns me off to wanting to up things any higher than I'm at now.

[haunted]

Stem cells is only half of it in some cases, there's also uniting that technology with like, the amphibious ability to regrow limbs/appendages/tissue/etc., something we've only recently made strides with.

Not sure if you've ever smoked MJ on the daily before, but that buzz you're talking about turns into more of just a relaxing thing rather than a hardcore stone.  I used to smoke pot all day everyday for years on end.  The only reason I don't smoke it as often now is because I don't like how it affects your ability to breathe (lessens your lung power quite a bit).  But I know that after you've smoked it daily for about a month, that feeling you're talking about goes away and instead you just get this warm, happy feeling; also, you stay coherent and functional when you do it daily as well, instead of it being overwhelming like it is when you only smoke it rarely.  Anyway, many people who have been on opiates hail MMJ as a welcome relief from that opiate-sick feeling that is constant with anyone who is unfortunate enough to need them.  Maybe you could give it a try if you really get tired of the opiates.  Like I said, it doesn't really take too long to get used to the effects of MMJ, and that strong buzz that you can't stand changes into something a lot more enjoyable.  Plus it's a lot better on your body, trust me.  The lifespan of a person who takes necessary prescription opiates isn't too long usually.  :<

Plus it's funny you mention Fentanyl.  That's what that guy I was just talking about was taking (the one who switched to cocaine).  He said he couldn't stand how Fentanyl does you, and cocaine was a lot kinder on his body (which is amazing to me, since cocaine is pretty damaging itself).

Also, I recently recreationally tried a Dilaudid.  I don't know how anyone could honestly like having to take that shit.  It was a night with some liquor, really good coke, some dro and a Dilaudid, and the worst part of the night was the Dilaudid.  It was very strong for sure, lasted about 3 hours on 1 pill, but the effect was too...bleh.  Makes you feel like a zombie.  I don't know how anyone can deal with that shit, whether you need it or not; makes you feel like shit.

[bvughtoonice]

if you arent a heavy smoker and want to enjoy MJ with out waiting to build a tolerance you should try using a vaporizer... put .2 or .3 of a gram in the glass piece... only take 1 or two hits and not giant ones!

if you dont over smoke you wont feel bad...

if you smoke too much youll feel too high, stoned, not ejoyable

i suggest you get a vaporized with small surface area glass piece. like the bhudda vaporizer or perhaps the silver surfer??  can find one on internet for about $200 the surface area is about the size of a dime where you smash your .2 or .3 of a gram onto..

2-4 people could get high off a .2 or .3  just to let you know so dont take 10 hits if your all by yourself

just take it out and save it for later.. dont empty it. when ur ready to smoke again stir up the remains heat up your vaporizer again and get a buzz of your original .2 or .3 that you already started to smoke.

ps if you smoke a lot save all the brown remains..

mash the brown stuff up in some cookie dough..

makes a fine cookie get 10x higher than you do from smoking

[bluemeanies]

...about how nice I was when I was under the name "HairYaSs0r" in ra2, then over time became the biggest prick anyone has met.

Hah...when you mentioned 2005 for your accident, I thought...that's about the same time Rick got real rapey...I think I remember telling you in some random pickup on Hals years ago that "rape" was your favorite word and I was worried that you might be a rapist irl...
