wow that is low, went away to the open forum and got distracted by the great post in the soapbox on elderly people. anyway, i would hate to have to come out that low but you gotta decide when its not good to be there anymore. after doing laredo so much for the last few years and now not going down there much, we dont miss it much. we do miss the HEB and a few eating places and tina misses the sketchers outlet. imagine that,. a women missin shoe shopping. OMG

as long as you are aware what might happen...just make sure the inbound rate is high enough to balance the outbound rate...

Morning all. Just woke up after a long night. Took a load to the Grand Rapids area and dropped it about 2000. Frankie called earlier with one coming back that picked 7 miles from where I dropped. It was a 0700 delivery so I dropped it at the dock. Got here about 0030. Fixed myself some chow and hit the sack.

Leg woke me up at 0630 totally cramped up. Danced around the sleeper for 30 minutes before it finally relaxed. Now, it's just sore. There's got to be something they can do to remedy this. I can't run one day and then take another day to recover.

Gonna fix some b'fast, grab a shower, and see how it feels. May have to shoot home and see the doc. :(

Can you use a tens unit? We got one for.Nicks mom for.her fibromyalgia and it did help some. We bought it on Amazon for.about $120. I used one while.I was in physical therapy with my knee, and Nicks used it on his back with great results.

My daughter used one of those without a lot of success. She had the same disc rupture as mine. She's had four surgeries to my two. Doc set me up with one, but it didn't help. Seems the nerve damage is too severe and the second surgery was more extensive than the first. I will ask him again since this muscle cramping is new. I didn't have it the first time.

Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. its a little machine with pads that you place on the skin similar to those of an ekg machine. the pads are tethered to a little machine which you control strength frequencies and length of the stimulation. It makes the muscles contract and loosen stimulating the nerves. Its kind of an odd feeling.
