I remember watching Bobo Brazil and his partner Thunderbolt Patterson when I was a kid. You know, I wish I’d stayed in the cheap seats though. I got through the crowd and saw, up close, how it was a show. Popped my bubble on the spot. lol
Grandpa was a big fan so we took in a few shows and didn’t talk about the fakery.

What I always hated picking more than anything was Okra! Love to eat it corn meal breaded n fried, lol but hated to pick it! Them little resin balls (highly acidic) on underside of leaves would eat ya up!
Only picked okra one time without long sleeves and rubber glves!

The one that got me was when Stone Cold came into Voices hospital room dressed as a nurse, and attacked him with a bed pan. I latter for a week about that goofy shit.

This is why I can always relate to JPs thread and friends, honesty is truly unmatched here. Im a 33yr old disabled father for about 9 years now multiple car accidents that I wasn’t at fault for…20+ steroid shots, multiple back surgeries, and finally a Spinal cord stimulator implant to ease some of that pain. Life has always tested me but I’ve thankfully I’ve always seen my cup as half full. Most days I need my cane but sometimes I can finagle the bagel and get from point A to B. Thank you Johnny for being an inspiration for us chronic pain folks.
Thanks for also making me feel safe to share a bit more about myself on your thread. Hope all you circus friends are doing well and keeping the aches and pains at bay. No WWF for me @BigMike55
I lost it when Stone Cold threw Kurt Angles medals into that river though.

I always wondered who writes the scripts 
Pure talent
It works when I’m sitting still but I can’t use mine while working or driving. It’s position sensitive. Meaning that if I move around while it’s turned on it can intensify the effects, sometimes dramatically. So the only real use is to ease the pain a little before bed. Using it and pot together is a decent combination.

I have a Tens unit and also a decent back brace, I won’t let em operate, they wanted to fuse the 4 verts. I know technology has come a long way now, they can replace the discs etc. But at my age… naw. I’ll just take what the creator saw fit to leave me with and be happy I’m alive. lol

Same here Mo it’s horrible on an empty stomach too. But it’s basically a Tens Unit JP just inside ya
it was better than opting for the pharmaceutical rabbit hole. Certain vibrations work better than others too. Technology sure has come a long way.

The back isn’t gonna kill me, it’s some of these other ailments that are gonna take my life. The bad heart valve (plus 2 heart attacks) the full-blown Emphysema in both lungs… sundry other shit.
Docs have given me that ‘any time now’ talk twice since 2022! lol I told em I’m gonna make liars out of erm and live to 101
They can only guess. Said they won’t put me into a hospice center since I have my family around me to take care of me. Rose helps me into the shower, helps wash me, dry & cloth me, brings my food to me, etc. She’s my rock!

Sure as shit doesn’t make things any easier but you’re absolutely right. 9/10 times it’s the other ailments that’ll do ya. What an intense game you have going with those doctors though.

They put 3 stints in each leg and have me on blood thinner. That helps the bad valve push blood to the legs. But even though the swelling is down…ish, I still can’t walk. So F the sciatic pain! I smoke all day rather than take pain meds, lol helps more than the pain. Like my attitude!
