The saga continues

RJ,

I feel for you. Nothing hurts like ribs. I've been through it from getting busted up in hockey a couple times. I remember it being winter and having a cough. I thought I was in hell. (If you don't have strong cough medicine... GET SOME-you can count it towards your liquids =D)

I hope you can find a comfortable position to give you some peace to sleep.

All my best,

Jay

Just curious Jay, you said a couple of times you were busted up playing hockey.....What kind of hockey do you play...yikes!!!!!!!!

Ice hockey! The only kind! =D

I got busted up once in college pretty good (on a hit I initiated no less). And then when I was 28 I went into the low boards funny and got a hairline in one, plus some good spraining in the area. I didnt notice it due to adrenaline. But later that night I went to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack!

I had a gym teacher in high school who was also on the city hockey team. It seemed like during the season that he was always coming to class with a new scar on his face or a tooth missing. My brother got his nose mashed up playing high school football.

I joined the art club.

I stink at golf. What a waste of time. When I do go, old morons dressed like clowns yell at me and I almost get in a fight every time. Don't tell me to stop looking for my ball. It's MY BALL and I paid a lot of money for it. Unless that's YOUR Water it's sitting in, then I'm going to keep on looking. Go around if you're in a hurry, jerk. Some people.

Ive been hurt worse in Hockey than just ribs. Mostly in "non check" house leagues. Full check is a lot less dangerous. People play with their head up and respect each other. I swear these once-a-week recreational goons come out looking to stab somebody. Especially if the flyers are doing well. That just eggs them on.

The doc cleared me to resume skating soon. I'll post some pics when I start playing with a puck again (since its not only my weight loss goal but also my boardname!)

Doesn't your name say it all..I mean to me it says you are all grown up...lol I don't think I would continue to play a game that knocked me around that much fat or skinny...But I know it is a man thing....roar!!!!!!

Looking forward to the photos.....

Age IS the problem - but its not my age that matters. There are a bunch of young punks in the league that like to show the grey hair's up. Then they take some liberties and we have to remind them that we can afford better insurance. It does keep the blood roiled up though. I admit I'm an adrenaline junky and I really miss the foxhole comraderie you get in the locker room.

It's going to be hard to hide these scars though. I'm just going to have to fess up. Or tall them I had my gallbladder out or something.

Sorry to get hijacked in your thread. I hope you're feeling better. Are you able to sleep through the night yet?

I don't feel like you hijacked my thread..Actually I am finding it quite entertaining to be truthful.......

I go for another treatment tonight and he will see how things are progressing....No still can't sleep through, miss that a lot...Was so used to it after finally getting the habit of sleeping through the night at the hospital...i used to be such a night hawk..UI thought that was just the way I was but apparently I had severe sleep apnea that I woke up a lot from that...

Oops did not even know I had it until they put me in a coma and they hooked up the machine to help me breath because I would continuously stop for several seconds and scare the crap out of my family....Finally they gave me a trachea and I breathed through that..Sorted story, I think I got off track..Age you know.....

Can't wait to see how you do after your first game...I think if you come clean about your surgery you are going to really be harassed ..Guys are like that you know......
