Yep, but already started feeling significantly less dizziness on the second day after switching, thanks for asking, buddy.

Pretty soon, our li'l ole Garden Gnome will be in his ladder stand...with his special repelling harness on...and grinning like a Cheshire cat!

I'm sure you're just glad for feeling better and getting strength back. Fades fast as we add a few years... do some real gentle PT and especially with those back muscles... with those rubber band things, and ease back into ole Blackie.

Wishing great things and praying for His protection for ya B.

May be a while yet but thank you so much, my friend.

Bummer - Doing better all the time but Deer season (archery) started here on the 8th and I still just don't feel up to it, nor have the needed strength. Still hoping I will before it ends on Jan 1 though - LOL. Wanted to wish everyone else the best possible season though, and let you know I'm still hanging in there.

You come here and keep us posted on your progress... doing anything to exercise those muscles will help...even a standing wall push back...

Keep the shiny side up, bubba!

A couple folks asked how I was faring now. (NOT IN HOSPITAL)

Doing good, I guess but the antibiotics (I lay it to them) still raise sand with my nausea and dizzines (worse some days then others) and my limbs are still weak as a wet dish rag. Sure beats the alternative though - LOL. Thanks for asking. Nine more days of the heavy dose antibiotics, then I go onto a low/preventive dose. I think/hope it will get much better then.

I hate to talk about it too much, though it keeps me "not quite me", as i know there are so many of our friends in much worse shape. One reason for not posting much, (the nausea and dizziness is the other - LOL).

Good to hear from you, Mini-Grunt!

Wish the news were more sterling, but it is a danged site better than back around St. Jude time, eh?

I think you're onto something...fall since I had to quit allergy shots I took since 6 yrs old (insurance issue ended them) and now each fall I feel like crap... they stuck me on them antibiotics 3 falls in a row...and I was dizzy and sick in the guts all the time...

This year, just gutting it out. Praying that you're situation is similar and when off those High Test bug killers you will rebound more quickly!!!

I'm thinking there were no bugs, just the miserable allergies that caused mine, so the antibiotics had little to work on but making me feel worse... if so, maybe that is your case, Bubba... them bugs be dead... so the low dose will hold any residual troops in check and you'll be swinging from the trees and chasin Rose around the house in a couple weeks!

Keep the Son in your eyes, buddy!

I'm sure hoping that's the case, Doc. Heaved my guts up yesterday AM, shortly after posting the update - sheesh! You know, just to start the day off right - (Oh, how I hate that!) :D

ber643 · October 07, 2012, 06:21:00 PM

I was wondering about that too -

Doc Nock · October 09, 2012, 02:14:00 PM

Don't wander too far, li'l buddy...lest you tie a string on your belt!
