Magnum,
I know I'm 5 days late on this, but one post you mentioned moving that tree.
My math might be wrong
nerd, but at 20" in diameter and 30' long, assuming it was medium density red oak (640 kg/m^3), then you moved by yourself .....
2615 pounds.
No wonder you are being fawned over by the ladies. You are our local strongman!

Hey, we're just admiring your strength. And as far as I'm concerned, another pleat in your cape is your Subaru. My garage contains a Subaru Legacy wagon.Magnum said:Never said I picked it up by myselfSwung it around when it was on the fire
And this is just a guess, but if the dry pine was only 25% as heavy as my calculations, you still swung around a 750 lb log. Still not shabby, especially considering the car crash that sounded worthy of a CHiPs episode.

I think the car crash was fun. I have crashed 4-wheelers harder than my car wreck
Well figured I'd do a quick update on the progress....
Back still killing me... Dr's are a joke, twist me bend me crack my back and see you in a couple days. They have me going to a chiropractor 3 days a week, was starting to feel a little better last week and the Dr says let me try this.... My back hurts more now than it has this entire time.
Also I am still dealing with getting my car paid off. I finally got a copy of the check that was sent to my bank, now I have to get that to my Gap insurance so they can send my bank the rest of the money to get it paid off. I do have to say if I did not have another means of transportation I would be highly upset that this process is taking so long. I can only imagine what it would be like if I didn't have another set of wheels, I'm sure I couldn't get another car loan while one is still active and I am still making payments on.
Oh so no new car for me, I decided to take the company truck.

IMHO-stop w/the chiropractor!! A herniated disc has been ruled out right? Sorry to hear this man!Magnum said:
Went to emergency room the same day of the accident, they took Xrays, said nothing was broke. A few days later my back started hurting worse, insurance company said to go see a Chiro. They have not done any MRI's or Xrays there. Said I might be 5-10% disabled.... I asked how can I prove that, what is wrong? Why does my back hurt? I get some crap about nerves and muslces andBlackSheep said:
Those that know me know I do not like Dr's and I only go when forced too. This time I went right away and actually listened to what they said. They have me going 3 times a week I about ready to say it doesn't hurt anymore see you guys later but I know something isn't right.

off the shelf
You went to the ER and they did the X-rays? Do you know that most dr in the ER look at X-rays just to see if there is a break and that is it?Magnum said:Went to emergency room the same day of the accident, they took Xrays, said nothing was broke.

My youngest was sitting in a shopping cart and my girl flipped it over on him....I went to the ER and they did the X-rays and said that there was nothing wrong with him....I ended up taking him back to the ER the next night because he still wasn't walking
A week later after fighting with the ER and his dr. I got an MRI and and soon as the girl looked at it she said there was a problem....he ended up in a full leg cast for 6 weeks(he broke the growth plate behind his knee)
Do you have a personal physician?....I would go to them and see if you can get referred out to get an MRI to make sure that there isn't anything that the ER dr. didn't see....The chiropractor might be doing more damage than good
I was going to go to my Dr, I called to set up the App. They said since it was autp related I would have to pay out of pocket So I told them off and said I'll go find a new Dr.onebdzee said:
When I broke my arm a few years ago I went to the Dr.... 3 days after I broke it. The Dr wanted me to leave and go to the Emergency room, said I should have went when it happened
Dr wound up doing xrays didn't see anything, I said whats that black line right there. He said oh thats nothing. He sent me to some sports Dr where they did an MRI, they stuck this big 'ol needle in my chest to get it into my should joint, though I tore something in my shoulder, wound up seeing that black line was a break. Dr says can't do anything gotta live with it. No cast no nothing. Once again another reason I do not like Dr's.
Of all the years of abuse my body has been through I have never had any back problems. Now that I let these guys touch me my back keeps cracking all day, get a sharp pain down my let when I walk, sometimes my foot gets all tingly. Guess I should go get that MRIitsbob said:
If your back wasn's screwed up, it probably is now. No X-rays, no MRI and they are m anipulating and cracking your back? That scares the hell out of me...
PM, BG she can point you to some AWESOME back doctors..
