You dont have to be 100% perfect, you just have to
I have been on here many times as a guest just to mainly read the trip reports when I am about to take a new substance. I only experiment with drugs I obtain legally, IE herbs from herb store like kratom or hawaiian baby wood rose seeds or rx drugs I get from one of my many doctors. I mostly just experiment with my scripts which I receive for valid reasons. I have had lower back problems for about 3 years now due to weight lifting and thus have been on pain management and anti-anxiety regiments for about just as long. Recently in June I had a fusion/lamnectomy done to my back to try to get the pain to subside so my quality of life would return. Before I go further, surgery sucks a bunch, but a pain pump with dilaudid on a 6 minute timer is awesome! Anyway, 10 days after the first surgery I had the staples pulled from the incision on my back. That night my lower body started to lock up so I triple dosed my meds and went to sleep. Woke up a few hours later because I had to go to the bathroom. On my way thru the kitchen, my incision opened up and I started draining fluid which soaked my shirt/shorts and left a trail thru the kitchen. I went to the ER right away and was diagnosed with a staph infection. I was sent into surgery 2 days later so that they could reopen my back and get down to the hardware to clean it out with an antibiotic solution. After I woke up from that surgeryI was in alot of pain and could not sit/stand up without super bad headaches and flat out throwing up. The doctor suspected I had a tear in my dura and that I was leaking spinal fluid. He kept me on flat bed rest for 5 days to see if it would heal on its own. Let me take this moment to say to anyone who has not had back surgery that after having said surgery, the last position you want to be in is flat on your back. Anyway, after 5 days I made no progress so I was sent into the OR again and it was discovered that I had 2 tears in my dura and was in fact leaking alot of spinal fluid. After that surgery I had to stay flat again for another 2 days before I was allowed to sit up in the bed. Also, another side note and anyone who has taken opiates before knows what I mean: if you ever go on a pain pump in the hospital and go more than 2 days without dropping a deuce, get some laxatives fast. I went 7 days without going number 2 and it hurt like hell and when it finally all came out after 2 solid enemas and 2 liquid enemas, it was a lot and made a damn mess. The nurse said the bed pan had to way near 5 lbs. Overall, in the month of June, I spent 18 days in the hospital and still have probs now but am working to take care of them.
I get prescribed Fiorocet, Nucynta 100mg, Ambien 10mg, Diazepam 10 mg, Robaxin 750mg, Neurontin 900 mg/dose, Xanax .5mg, and am on heavy oral antibiotics. I also at one point had a PICC line in my arm for IV antibiotics and did contemplate suspending crushed meds in a liquid and injecting them thru the IV line, but, a PICC line runs from your arm up to right next your heart and it didnt seem like a good risk for me. I have also had many other types of meds thru my pain management doc so I am somewhat experienced with opioids.
I do enjoy many things that are somewhat inhibited at the moment like woodworking, tuning cars, doing my security job (you appreciate your job so much more when you cant actually do it and I imagine if you are unemployed and looking for work for a long time), and bike riding.
I have also in the past used marijuana for both recreational and more recently medically. I have also tried Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds and plan to write a trip report for that later. As you can clearly see tho, I do walk around in a fog almost 24 hours a day and honestly I dont mind it.
Thats about it, I look forward to many discussions on this board and meeting you guys here!

Thanks for your time! And please, no pity about my pain situation. I dont mean to sound like a jerk, its just that pity doesnt help it. If you can empathize and want to share your story with me, Ill be more than happy to listen.

Stay blessed!
 
Welcome to Bluelight mate!

What kind of cars are you into?
 
I am a general car enthusiast, but, heres a specific list of cars I have personally worked on/owned:
98 Mustang GT-Owned, Cobra Intake Manifold with CAI. Got rid of it because it doesn't handle well in a northern WI winter.
Honda Civic lx-owned, had ideas but it was an Automatic and slow. Got rid of it for those reasons.
93 Nissan Maxima, Just did cosmetic things to it. It ended up being ricey. Then the clutch went bad so I went to the dealership and got a brand new!!!!!...
06 Chev Aveo. Did alot to it and began to build a turbo kit for it and we were going to reveal it at HIN Chicago but we couldn't finish in time. We worked right up to about 2 hours before the show before we had to call it quits. Hence my screen name.
Shortly after that I got a 90 Eagle Talon Tsi FWD. Fun car, but the probs were becoming too much for me to handle physically. Had to keep replacing parts and that gets old when you got a bad back. Sold that to get a.....
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6. Was going to get some wide tires for it, brush guard, HID headlight housings, exhaust, intake, etc.... But it got totaled. Only paid 1500$ for it but insurance gave us $6000 back. So now, the wife and I went out and bought a brand new......
11 Subaru Impreza WRX. Not the Sti. But it still has a turbo and looks nice. May mod it later but after having the jeep get totaled on us made me think twice about modding cars because you can put all this money into it and the next second its gone. If anything. will probably just do a CAI, turbo back exhaust, and a retune.
