Ed,
Bourbon! Malts! Craft beer! Just want to make sure you do not have any "hindrance" in tipping a fine glass of your choice! Really important for medicinal reasons!

That's what I was hoping you'd say but I was not sure if there's something deeper.Ed,

No Sir, not a problem at all.
Well hope you are doing well. I have had both hands carpal tunnel release, both shoulders full orthoscopic, two neck operations with 4 fused, one knee replacement and one hanging on for now, plus 4 damaged vertabra in the back and and finally seperation in left saccro illiac.
My pain mgmt doc is giving me botox in the neck every 12 weeks to hold off the third neck operation which will make it straight with no movement. I do gel in the right knee every 6 months (all insurance will pay for) and it lasts 4 months or so then a cortisone shot to make it to the 6 month mark. 24 years in special opns, 1000 jumps and two major parachute accidents and I had too much fun!!
work the PT religiously and use the pain management doc routinely. They can stay on top of what is going on. My right shoulder was back at 90% + in 6 months and left took 18 months. Left knee replacement was pure hell. Operation took 2x as normal and they found out I am allegic to all the good meds, Occxy, hydrocodone, percocet etc. I lived on acetemetiphin and tramadol and that did not work.

Thanks for your service! I completely understand those injuries and the volunteering for "fun" part too! I was unlucky enough to get hurt enough for an early medical retirement but loved serving for sure...11 fusions so far, with epidurals every 3 months until they don't work, then 3 more fusions to go!
I get radio frequency ablasion RFA on my back every 8-12 months. 6 month shot in hip also. The botox in neck is holding off another fusion. Getting old sucks for sure
This thread proves "WE" all have plenty to be thankful for.
Every day we wake up is something to be thankful for. Everything else is the icing on the cake.
Keep getting better brother and remember, your girls are waiting for your to hold them again and pull their triggers
.I'm still trying to get my knee back to 100%. The issue is a burning sensation at the meniscus and some numbing just above the knee. It actually seems to be worse after the surgery than it was before. Not sure I wan to try that one again. It's been a couple of months and I thought it would be good by now.
I am having a liver biopsy tomorrow due to a small mast found in the right liver. X-ray, CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound was not definitive enough and a tissue sample is a must.

I did it from a straw. No tipping required. Bourbon, beer. Didn't matter.That's what I was hoping you'd say but I was not sure if there's something deeper.
No Sir, not a problem at all.
Prayers for good news on the biopsy results.

Wow! Best of good news for you Feenix. That's always concerning.
Man,when I get to feeling sorry for myself due to pain and aging problems I just re-read this thread and see what my fellow hunters/shooters are going through and I feel like a million bucks!
FEENIX I had a liver biopsy and it was negative for cancer,yours most likely will be the same.
If you take a drink and fall to your knees in severe pain and can't take a full breath for several minutes you may have other problems but I wish you well my friend.If you could,please post your results so we won't be worried.
