    Fuck, many don't even get the chance


    Hey BMP, I wanna see your old ass recover - I like seeing good shit, the bad is getting old. . . . Def sounds like you got your ass handed to you. . . . And, I do agree that sometimes a shot to the dome doesn't sound so bad compared to what we're going through, health wise at least - that's for sure
    You guys are an inspiración!!!

    First off, Glad to hear you are doing better.

    Its amazing how quick you can loose weight, especially muscle mass. I remember when I ruptured L5/S1 I lost about 30 lbs in 2 weeks and couldnt even sit on the commode for 30 seconds without passing out in pain. 1st time in my life I had chicken legs. Took well over 1yr to even come close to what you would call recovered and have had about a dozen setbacks since then.

    Never give up, never surrender.

    Thank you ! Believe it or not this is an inspiration coming from you . After 6 mth I am barly walking like an 80 year old man . To all you young bucks that think 61 is old I was 6ft 235lbs and wore a 33 in waist jeans and looked unnatural for 59 just 2 year oga and that is whyI know I will be one BA MFer at 62 .6mths post Coma is a Mfer but i can walk to the beach and shop and walk in a girly gym so I take baby steps

    Yes I have set backs also . About a mth ago I was taking my 100 yard walk on the beach ( Post recovery thanks to Fiancé ) I absolutely though I was going to have a stroke or heart attack I could not breath or catch my breath ... my o2 level was 82 ( I carry an o2 meter and pulse rate finger monitor at all times )and I could not look up and breath a clasped on my butt on the beach . I rested a few and caught me breath and my breath to the point that I was not huffing and puffing like I had ran a marathon . My Gf was going to help me up from the sitting on my ass position and the 1st try did not work the 2nd try we both strained very hard and i felt my dick string tear and I mean 2 different tears ! I could barely walk with her assistance but my stubborn ass made it back to our RV . The next day was hell and as I was getting out of the shower she freaked out ....I had a blue and red and brown bruise on my inner thigh bigger than a softball and I hurt sitting walking and standing . So Yes sir I know set backs and I am grateful to God for simple things .....even going to the mail box ....Sad but when I came home 6 mths ago I coud not feed myself with a spoon

    Hey I do not mean this in a bad way ! But when I read some of your comment I thought what a heartless DA .... But then I looked at you about me profile and you are on 19. Me being 61 it would be normal for me to wonder what a grown ass man would make such arsine comments . But go in peace young brother you are a normal abnormal 19 year old with 8 more years before you will be close to a grown ass man lol , you are a bit unique

    I agree, baby steps. After my back surgery I had to learn to walk all over again. I could not even stand flat footed and raise my heals off the floor for probably a month or more. I knew it was either keep going and trying or give up and live in a wheel chair. That was not an option for me.

    BTW your woman sounds great. I was single at the time so no one to do the wiping for me. I spare you the gory details but you learn to get creative when you can only lay on the ground 24/7 for 2 weeks. In a way Im thankful I wasnt with anyone at the time.

    haha I know all about bruises on the inner thigh. Ive been myself up most every way imaginable over the years. dumb sh*t (me). Believe it or not this was from jet-skiing. You aren't supposed to plant the handle pole into your thigh. lol

    It was funny because I knew it was going to be bad and started taking pictures right away and then every 2-3 hours and posted them. The first couple of hours people said I was a pvssy and it wasnt bad. After about 6 hrs people started saying I should go see a doctor. lol

    He’s not 19

    He really is a full on psychopathic weirdo - it is what it is, I guess

    I’d say ban his ip, but considering how his/those kinda folk work - he’d just swap it & start another account

    Reading that “guy’s” comments 99% of the time makes me feel normal - and, boy do I do weird shit

    Then the other 1% is disturbing, when I actually agree with him

    I’m not entirely quite sure why he trolls this place. Loneliness, I suppose - because no one elsewhere would acknowledge anything that freak of nature types up.

    Whatever, spices this place up - we kinda need it since this place now is mostly a ghost town


    It could really bug you out reading his trash sometimes - if you look at it wrong



    Anyways, who cares - apparently no one else aside from here. Lol


    Good to hear your intact - seriously, old buzzard - I wanna see you recover. . . Recovery is a tricky bitch. You wanna push, but you don’t know if you should - yet, you don’t wanna become even close to sedentary. . . Try your best to get yourself together man.


    My motivation - is back today, since I seem to be shitting solid once again - having to be close to a crapper really dampens your plans, ya kno


    But, like I said - in my eyes bud, you done made it - 61 & still chugging - may, I be so “lucky”

    Sounds like your recovery is doing better than you make it sound - you can fuck, you can walk & you can piss/shit on your own < stuff really starts to suck & fast when you lose any of those abilities.


    Follow MD orders + a tad more. . . I wanna see a 60+ old recover < now, that shit to me is inspirational

    I’ve treated / performed therapy for some really f’d up things that left me ready to cry myself. Buzz, it sounds like you are recovering slowly, but steadily. Being 63 myself and walking like an old man is a tough pill to swallow. Someone here made a crack about Biden’s walking and I took it personally, because it’s how I look, particularly if I can’t see my feet because of a mask. Balance losses are getting more common. I’m lucky I haven’t fractured anything with the tumbles I’ve had, but my time is coming. Currently looking to purchase a recumbent tricycle.

    Yet we push forward or we will rust and crumble. You’ve got this buddy.

    Hey I got a new wrinkle for you/yall ! I went to the Dr yesterday for a 1 week follow up and I have a boil in my butt crack , huge ! Top side of exit hole thank goodness ! He looked yesterday and after his previous comments of he did not like the color of the fluids coming from the boil . ...... Now thinks melanoma so did a very panful biopsy . I got 28 percs .

    At 61 and still pushing with all I got and 3 hours a day in the gym 2017 . Get this

    1. 1999 -tried to catch a PWC trailers tongue and snapped my bicep tendon

    2. 2001 Had to have orthoscopic on left shoulder

    3. 2002 I was ran over by a truck . Broke both clavicles , crushed the bottom half of right scapula , cracked the top half in 2 places , broke all my ribs (all some in 2 places) cracked my left hip , bruised my spline and split my liver .

    4. 2004 left hip replacement

    5. 2004 to 2018 had over 25 blood clots and 5 hit my lungs

    6. 2017 right hip replaced and found out I had Prostrate Cancer (No treatment after all I have had if PC gets me then God's will)

    7. 2018 left knee replaced

    8. 2018 started have injections in my right ankle

    9. L5 vertebrate and sub ? Spine started treatment and 2019 started epidural injections in my back

    10. 2020 kink in my bowels and in a coma ( finally) about kicked my ass but I am still going and been in the gym 2 days this week and not like the other old farts lifting girl size weights

    11. Now a damn boil on my butt and may be melanoma cancer will know in 2 weeks

    12. VA has assigned me to a shrink and he asked me what my attitude was like and I said I love life and God loves me , I am at peace with the world ! He asked me about the God loves me part and I said he must he is trying everything possible to break me and we are still buddies . The shrinks wants to seem me again in 3 weeks and asked me if I had thoughts of hamming myself ? I asked him if he was crazy and replied the powers that be are doing plenty of that with no help from me . Now let me hear all young me bitch about your infirmities and are still in the gym after all this ? It is called a crazy ass Marine and adapt and over come ! I can do anything !

    Let's Rock & Roll ! Lock and Load !

    Honestly I don't know why you took that as badly as you did.

    You mentioned comas, and so I mentioned a past experience of mine involving a coma. Didn't mean to sound heartless -- in fact I was very emotional at the time; I remember driving to the hospital and was nearly bursting into tears. I had to try keep my composure when I reached the ICU, but that actually wasn't difficult to do because my state of shock was bigger than my state of upset.

    I'm in my 30's by the way.

    I don't want people reading this and getting the wrong idea about me.

    I don't have paedophilic urges, and and I only ever harm people in acts of retaliation.

    So I'm not Ted-Bundy-psycho... I'm more like Talented-Mr-Ripley-psycho -- it's a much lower pay grade.

    And there's a certain beauty in nuerodiversity.

    I was just implying I’ve treated too much crap that you can’t recover from and that person knows it. F’n strokes where their spouse left them because of it, amputations that had fiancé’s leave, traumatic brain injuries where teens are little more than in a vegetative state and you gradually see the amount of visitors dwindle. I mean epic mind f**k type of s**t. With that said, I’m sure with you serving, you have seen more tragedies than all of us here put together. I’m ashamed of myself for not doing volunteer work with the VA. But now that I’m officially retired, maybe it’s time.

    Nice resume of injuries there Buzz. Got to tell you, I’d get both of my hips replaced again before I’d want a boil on my butt-crack, seriously. You being the warrior you are shows loud and clear! Twice in the gym this week, lifting again - hell f’n yes! Knowing you, you’ll be putting me to shame in no time at all, so I better get hustling! Thanks for that kick in the pants!

    I don’t even read 90% of what FuidicWeirdo writes - I don’t have that much time for nonsense-usually

    Jesus! BMP - you’re something inspirational x100 to the 4th power

    Just wow!


    I agree with the attitude of “why cause self harm, when it’s done for me” < same shit here bud - fuck it, do the best we can & just keep going - no need to make it easy

    Damn, that's some shit. I would rather die than live with brain damage from a stroke. I have seen some stuff on TV of teenagers with traumatic brain injuries recovering - it's awful...

    How long did your hip replacement take to heal and were you able to get back to 100% mobility after? I've seen cases when people get them and go back to squatting and whatnot, and others that never walk right after. My dad (59) just got one side done.

    How long did your hip replacement take to heal and were you able to get back to 100% mobility after? I've seen cases when people get them and go back to squatting and whatnot, and others that never walk right after. My dad (59) just got one side done. He's about 3 weeks into recovery and limping around and using the cane off and on.

    As Buzz said in the beginning, he has his wife and to have that support is so incredible and helps so much. To tackle some stuff on your own has got to be horrific. And kids, f-me; I gave up working pediatrics after the kid in the car accident with the brain injury. To my last day at school, I would preach to my kids about driving safe, not drinking & driving and wearing a damn seatbelt. Please don’t say, but you know the population that I work with, those kids are maniacs behind the wheel. I think the region that I teach at may lead the state with auto accidents involving teen drivers.

    At this day and age the hips and knees should go pretty well with relatively little problems.

    I was never really flexible, but got all my mobility back. Still though, you don’t want to overstretch it or do some crazy yoga poses. I think I finally got off a cane completely around the 3rd or fourth week. Being that I’ve seen so many patients try to rush the process and hurt themselves, I deliberately slowed the pace for both of the replacements and probably did far less than I could, but overall my hips never felt better & I never suffered issues. Hell, I’ve had some nasty falls and got in a motorcycle accident and still the hips came through without a hitch. The shoulder has to be done in a few years & that one has me worried about gym-life after that procedure.

    I think Ron Coleman had problems with his, but I bet the guy returned to doing way too much, way too soon.

    I try to not exceed my body weight when I actually bother to do leg presses & haven’t squatted since my 30’s, so that is not a concern. I may try to do deadlifts again, but with a hex bar. The key is trying to make these last a lifetime because sometimes replacing the replacement doesn’t go as well. With that said, I’ve known people that resumed running and skiing.

    Everyone is different . But for me I would say my latest hip replacement was the easiest to bounce back from . Hips are a cake walk Shoulders are the MFer and not sure my knee will ever be 100% but I can live with restricted range of motion . Yup Shoulder is the worst then Knee and then Hips most painful and with the hips possibly the only one that I was able to push harder and heal faster the rest are all a slow go . Not that any of these are a walk in the park .

    All the rest are just trauma recovery except coma and all I can say is it kicked my ass and still is ! If I am lifting steady at the 1 year mark I will be happy . Well pain meds kicking my ass and bad so GN all and gota shower and get ready for phone sex with my baby . she is in KY .

    GN all . Chat more later , can't hold eyes open and fingers fall asleep on the keys .......... Peace out until later . lol , Just fell outta my chair so time for bed alone and hope I can complete phone adventure

    I never would have thought hips are the easier recovery. I have heard that shoulders are a bitch. Not looking forward to that. My right shoulder was messed up for 2 years and now it’s bearable with moderate weight, but still feels weird, like it’s not smooth in there.

    You have a good outlook, but I guess you have no choice but to move onward. We can never be reminded enough about sacrifice and perseverance with stories like yours.

    I dislocated my shoulder coming off a motorbike about 7 years ago, I also fractured the head of the humerus as I hit the ground. It's fine now but it makes a sort of raspy sound as it rotates in my shoulder joint. I've been considering going to have it checked just to see if I'm heading toward arthritis when I'm older. Who would I have check it? Physiotherapist? Chiropractor? Or just an X-ray at a doctor's office?

    I would highly recommend a very well referenced shrink for any and all conditions you may have . If you are jkn around , so am I . If your comments are really you views of life I would say get your emotional meds adjusted and increased . Are you in a half way house program or allowed to roam the streets freely ?

    I haven't gone through my medical/psychiatric record with a fine tooth comb... but I'm pretty sure I've never taken bodybuilding as far as a severe bowel injury. I did the severe liver injury thing for a while and learned from it, but I didn't do anything as 'kinky' as you did.

    If you fractured the true head, that is the rounded cartilage covered region that forms part of the joint - that usually will turn arthritic because cartilage never heals. If the dislocation was bad enough, you still likely have shoulder instability (the shoulder joint is loose) and that will speed up the process & can cause other issues as well (like labrum tears or rotator cuff tears).

    Orthopedic physician that specializes in shoulders is best and a good physical therapist that knows their shoulders.

    An x-Ray for bone & cartilage issues, MRI for the labrum and rotator cuff.

    If it’s grinding (raspy) you kind of need to avoid the motions that contributes the most to that, because that isn’t helping the issue.

    Well see there my younger than I youthful mental patient . You now have goal to attempt to achieve that a true grown ass man has and survived . So there is still a sliver of hope for you and I am glad you admire me and hope to achieve only some of the limits I have pushed . So young mental grasshopper pay attention and there is a slim chance you could learn from my life learned lessons and not just parts of a Pokémon coloring books you remember coloring in when on one of your spa visits to regain your grip or to touch base with reality As far as kinky goes your mind cannot fathom the things I have explored as far as kinky goes ........ they are on a back burner right now but as soon as possible I will be back in the saddle and doing casting calls for pure KINKY that does not involve entering through any of my exits

    Trying to do the yoga lotus pose on the toilet while defecating is how you kinked your bowel. I'll make a demonstrative video at some point.

    The human bowel will only kink if you try to force a yoga pose while in the process of fecal defecation.

    Don't neglect it, TM. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Address it early, IMHO.
