i've had a sore right knee of years. at times it gets so painful that i can barely walk. i can't stand for long periods of time and if i walk very fast or heaven forbid run, i'm in a great deal of pain. i've had it looked at few times and was basically blown off by the doctors. they seem to be more sympathetic to the 300 pounders that need a knee replacement. well, i have a new doctor and he gave me a thorough examination and told me i have scar tissue/fibrosis but i should get an x-ray to see how the bones are doing. i had the x-ray and went saw the doctor yesterday for the results. the bones are fine.
since the bones are fine he gave me 3 injections that work some sort of magic on the scar tissue. then he gave me a long explanation on synovial fluid and how important it is. if you have a sore joint and don't exercise enough then it doesn't get enough synovial fluid and things get worse. i always wondered why my sore knee felt better while is was into karate, this explains it. all the karate exercise helped me get lots of synovial fluid to the knee.
do you have any electronic gadgets that require a round flat battery? i have a few and always paid about $5.00 for an eveready battery but the sons of bitches never lasted very long. my remote to my garage door opener croaked so i needed a new battery. i got lucky and found a package of 3 at the dollar store and so far they work. god bless the dollar store.
a knee that almost works and 3 cheap batteries, if that isn't nice, what is?
i love you sons of bitches

DMSO works wonders on such stuff. I use it my planar fascitis & trigger finger issues.
Your cycling should be good for your knee if you don't fancy giving people flying kicks. Those flat batteries are quite fascinating. Are they used mainly for devices which are inactive 99% of time?
I don't know if they have this up in Canada or not...I'm not sure what it's all use for but it has to do with the knees...a lady I know by me had a shot with some type of chemical and it was made from rooster comb...that's all I know about it.
It's amazing what the local dollar store has..I even remember nickle and dime stores...do your recall them?
Coffee is on.
One more thing...we use dmso and it good..but it doesn't help the breath.
Battery-powered knees are the latest rage. You should jump on THAT bandwagon. Speaking of bandwagons I think this is a perfect opportunity for an "I Took an Arrow in the Knee" joke... but probably not. That is so last year.
bob - i'll have to check that out with my doc.
gb - yes, cycling helps but i cut back on cycling in the winter. i'm a wuss. my garage remote is inactive 99.99999% of the time.
dora - yes, i remember the old five and dime stores. i think it's time for some coffee.
static - battery powered knees! i want nuclear powered batteries for me knees.
Dora is right, DMSO will make your breath stink, Marie quit using it because I wouldn't kiss her when she used it and who wants to screw with a gas mask?
But I guess it works good for those kinds of pain, she just preferred getting screwed and putting up with a little joint pain.
I'm amazed my knees are doing so well, I've been pretty hard on them, even the one that was ground out is still doing well, maybe because I'm still pretty active.
Boy, busy day, helped my fifty dollar fuck buddy load a U Haul then went to the bar for a while. Now I’ll visit some favorite blogs and see what they’re up to.
As for the last comment in the string below, I'm not bitter about how Leslie spends her money, it's her fucking money, I just like to point out the fucking stupid ways she gets rid of it while making others richer. :-)
I'm in Chattanooga, TN and it's full of people like you, BBC. There's a dead baby deer on a trailer in the parking lot. So young it has white Bambi spots on his back, along with a bullet hole. What kind of lowlife shoots a baby animal? Maybe he let his lowlife kid shoot it. Reminded me of you. Anyway, he now has no air in his tough guy tires.
My right knee has hurt since I flew off a roof after doing a hit of acid.
Ha! Do tell... what made you think you could fly? And don't say the acid.
The neat chick at REFUGE CREEK is going to make some stew.
I'm trying to decide between going fishing or practicing some black powder shooting before the next match, or both.
Char's birthday yesterday, I brought home a big piece of her chocolate cake to enjoy with milk this morning. Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.
bill - sex vs painless knees, a tough decision. a young man would have no problem making that choice but i'd have to think long and hard about it.
leslie - i've heard that acid and roofs don't mix. from personal experience i can tell you that acid and bikes don't mix. i only did it once but boy those shiny spokes sure look cool in the moonlight.
If you don't care how you smell DSMO does work well. Or so I've heard, have never tried it or acid, I have enough bad habits.
We went to the Cornerhouse this morning, I had a chicken fried steak, ate the whole damn meal. Afuckingmen.
I guess you could do like Helen and get new knees, that ninety year old shit is in better shape than the rest of us. And always so fucking cheerful you want to choke her some times.
This has sure seemed like a long day, went to Monkeyville for breakfast, filled the gas tank and a spare can cuz I got a good discount on gas at Safeway, reorganized the gear trailer some, split a big box of cedar kindling, and whored around on the internut a lot.
Fuck, guess I'll just go to bed early.
You could always do what us hobos do and drink Night Train until the pain goes away or shoot up your kneecaps with heroin a few times a day.
Also a good smack with a hammer can cause short term complications, but it does wonders in the longrun.
Either way, maybe not the best options. Never listen to anyone but your doctor.
Never listen to anyone but your doctor.
Ah, those folks that 'practice medicine' for big bucks.
Well, I don't have any fucking doctor. I'm not trying to get old enough to be shitting in a diaper again.
And I'm damn sure not paying for insurance to assure that I will be shitting in a diaper again.
I don't need any fucking insurance to shit my pants, hehehehe
BBC- tell that "neat chick" to catch her squirrels with her bare hands so it's a fair fight.
Thimscool, I was balancing on the rail of a roof deck in heels. Or not balancing, I guess. All I remember is The Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs" was playing. (Hi Omar!)
BBC- tell that "neat chick" to catch her squirrels with her bare hands so it's a fair fight.
If you are ever hungry try catching a squirrel with your bare hands. I caught a chipmunk with my bare hands and that little motherfucker bit the fuck out of me.
I should also point out that Leslie wouldn't make a pimple on that neat chicks ass.
As it should be.
I am not impressed by some chick shooting squirrels, sorry.
Some of us don't care what would impress you. At least she would shoot and skin a coon for us to eat while you fuckwits in New Orleans expect the government to put you in FEMA trailers and feed you.
Her copper still is nice, but she'll fuck it up if she insists on polishing it.
I noticed she doesn't respond to you. That's pretty funny.
I guess she thinks everything comes from cafes.
I noticed she doesn't respond to you. That's pretty funny.
She doesn't feel the need to because she gets me and we also exchange some emails.
You need some new material, dear. Your New Orleans tirades are starting to bore me. Besides, it's the New Yorkers demanding handouts right now.
We're moving to Panama anyway.
That's interesting, it's never occurred to me look for new material when I haven't worn out the old material yet.
We're moving to Panama anyway.
I don't know who in the fuck we are but it can't be soon enough.
Well there ya go!
Pro mundi beneficio!
I'm turning in.
Good night....
Well by "doctor" I meant the "medical professional" who'll rape your wallet & insurance carrier; naturally their prognosis will be grim because they are in the business of making money -- therefore, scaring the living shit out of you by saying you only have six mos to live unless you get your knees replaced is in their best interest.
Maybe with socialized healthcare things will be different. Maybe not.
Good luck with that.
Hobos don't have health insurance either.
Can't afford it for one. Also we don't have steady jobs, mailing addresses or phone numbers. Life as an Okie drifter is difficult. The dustbowl is as unforgiving as some of the nouveau riche and bourgeoisie are.
So we've had to improvise our own healthcare treatments.
Drinking a cheap concoction of organic apple cider vinegar & honey daily breaks down the uric acid in the joints that cause pain. Holistic practitioners swear by it. Combined with low impact aerobic exercise you might find your knee problem is only temporary.
Or you can listen to your doctor and get shot up with cortisone, get pumped full of narcotics for the pain and end up taking other drugs to counter the side effects of the drugs you were prescribed for pain.
The pharmaceutical industry can't make money off of "natural cures" because they aren't patentable for one. No patent, no marketing, no distribution. Simple as that.
For hobos shitting our pants is fairly common since we often end up eating rotten food from the trash. Our treatment for food poisoning is to ride it out as long as we can and then drink plenty of mouthwash to get rid of the toxins and freshen our breath during and after all the vomiting.
Maybe DMSO isn't such a bad idea. Where can a hobo score some of that? I hear it makes a good paint stripper too.
I drank paint thinner by accident once. Have an ulcer now no thanks to that brilliant idea. Maybe I'll stick with the apple cider vinegar and honey. Doesn't taste that bad in comparison to the paint thinner.
And it almost tastes better than raccoon, that much I do remember.
hobo - you make some excellent points and i'm grateful that you brought the discussion back to my poor aching knee. i think my doctor was a chiropractor in a past life since he seems to be heading in a direction that will see me being a regular recipient of injections. maybe i'll print out your wisdom and present it to him.
I don't have any suggestions for knee pain, I've always dealt with pain by just putting up with it. Meanwhile a man climbs Chicago skyscraper with bionic leg.
Hobo, the most common place (more or less) to get dmso is from a veterinarian, it's used on horses with joint pain, Marie had horses and it's where she got hers.
But you can also get it at the adult store here.
One doctor treatment that helped Marie's joint pain, it was in the joints of her hands, was some kind of gold injection. Don't recall much about it but it was expensive even with her good insurance.
A doctor telling me I have only have six months to live wouldn't scare the shit out of me and seek their treatment. I've always assumed I may not be here tomorrow so I eat dessert first.
A lot of end of life pain does concern me but there's ways to deal with that, a well placed bullet comes to mind.
That's what cynical reality based bastards do.
This is a right to die state, a doctor can give you a concoction of drugs send you on to your next experience.
The fact that you are hardwired to try to stay alive beside the point, it's important that you not fear death and accept it as inevitable and look forward to your next level of experience of omnipresence.
Your next level and experience surly beats shitting in a diaper at 97 as your lights go out.
Shitting your pants after your lights go out doesn't count, someone else can clean up the mess. :-)
Early to bed, early to rise.
Is a pain in the ass.
I LIKE THIS.
All this election bullshit kind of amuses me, after all the fucking babbling we'll find out Obama gets four more years. What a fucking waste of time doing this every four years.
Jaysus BBC, yins is one boring fecker.
Has anyone noticed that that harpy represented on Leslie's new avatar is sporting a wedding band?
Hi Omar, you cunt.
Looks like I've attracted another freak. If I'm boring don't read my comments.
Omar is not a cunt.
Although a tad short, he inspired me to research this career.
I had to reconsider when it became obvious the double-satchel the chosen few are required to carry made my arse look big.
It looks like someone may be on acid today.
watch out bill! omar's sending his crew after you.
Seems like it's been a long day, but I did some organizing in the shop and built a work bench while also whoring around on the internut and smoking to fucking much.
Maybe this goddamn smoking will shorten my time here and I won't have to go through many more of these fucking election cycles.
I don't follow Omar and that weird little gang.
At least it's almost time to go over to Rick's for a few beers and bullshit.
Omar has a krewe!
I'll be damned, SR... you may be right. I thought she was bluffing.
Pic looks like children of the corn.
Knees suck, Billy. I was a professional dancer and had my right knee replaced when I was 16 (I was a classical ballet dancer...no human being was meant to dance on their toes). Today, my LEFT knee (the one they didn't "fix") is the one that hurts like hell. Go figure. Cycling actually makes it worse...but I push through. I still dance (not ballet - the toe shoe thing) and I'm a 2nd-degree black belt in tae kwon do. But it still hurts...every day. That's one of many reasons why I drink heavily....or maybe I'm just rationalizing....
Hey, if the election doesn't go my way tomorrow...can I move to Canada and crash with you for awhile???
Omar has a krewe!
As I understand it Krewe members are assessed fees in order to pay for the parade and/or ball, I sure as fuck wish that was true, we're tired of helping to pay for your fucking messes.
Nice to see Doc Teri back with us.
Hey, if the election doesn't go my way tomorrow...can I move to Canada and crash with you for awhile???
Felons can go there if they put up a bond so I guess you can.
I'm a fucking outlaw but I have an enhanced drivers license that allows me a free ticket into Canada.
Go figure....
I'll be away from the office for a few days...
*poof*
doc - come on up, that water is warm and there's plenty to eat. i find cycling to very knee friendly, gets the synovial fluid flowing with very little impact on them. i thought all my aches and pains would go away when i left karate but they got worse. so it goes.
bill - are you leaving me in charge whilst you're gone? i recognize that pedicabo's picture, the nine irons may soon be running amok.
On my blog, BBC says he left me in charge...but told me to keep my hand off of the button.
Where's the fun in that???
well doc, it looks like you're in charge but with power comes great responsibility.
Well, as of a couple of minutes ago, looks like it'll be me and Obama in charge...I'll fucking take that!
Hope you made some bucks, Billy!!!
"NOT SHOWING UP FOR THE FUTURE"
A phenomenon that takes place when the most "conservative" element of our political structure is topheavy with bead-fingering, idol-worshipping, mackeral-snapping, child-molesting Papist sodomite hypocrites who are good for nothing but fellating Israel and blaming the fruit of their whoredoms and perversion on women and abortion...
Thanks GeOPapists, you're dismissed!
I just don’t understand why many have an obsession about watching election results and fucking football, both of them are cluster fucks and I’ll learn the results soon enough. I was in the mountains with a campfire, eight cans of FUCK IT ALL, a hard on and a fantasy with a Thelma type. (that went very well, thank you)
I doesn't matter who I leave in charge, things are still a cluster fuck.
galt- you'll have to be a little more clear on that. i can't figure out who or what you're referring to.
bill - i did a little fishing then enjoyed deadwood and hell on wheels.
Rick said that Washington passed the pot thing, well, shit, just cuz I don't do pot doesn't mean I shouldn't plant some pot to exercise my right to do so.
I just wrote a knee post before I came here!
Glad you got your knee taken seriously and got some relief. You're too active to be a hobbler.
=;]
I love the dollar store.
Actually, I wouldn't plant any pot, growing it for recreational use is an art form best done by those good at it. Anything I planted would just be a weed.
uhm, it IS a fucking WEED, helLO.
Remember kids, don't 'drop' the ACID unless you have plenty of WEED.
Rule # 1.
I know it's considered a weed, but getting good buds is an art form I'm not interested in learning.
If I want to get serious about making a recreational drug/natural prozac, it will be FUCK IT ALL. Alcohol.
I predict that eventually tobacco growers may switch over to growing weed, it's a perfect fit, they have the science down good and not everyone is going to be interested in growing their own weed.
The Feds will have plenty to say about our passing a weed bill, never mind that the forefathers put in the constitution that the states have the right to experiment with things. The Fed doesn't like losing control of everything.
That initiative was worth fuck all, I voted no.
Really? I voted yes, even though it fixes nothing, oh well, it's all a cluster fuck.
Welcome to Cluster Fuck Nation, have a fucking drink, I will about 5PM.
I didn't know you guys had Dollar Stores.
Ever try Glucosamine? It might help.
@peppylady I remember five and dime stores, I recall the smell, I think they had fresh made popcorn in those stores.
The initiative was just a process to somewhere else, the somewhere else yet to be determined.
I just don't think pot smokers should be considered criminals even though some of them get stupid on it.
Letting tobacco growers grow it in a climate area useful for such would reduce the need for grow lights and keep it out of national and state forests.
Prohibition didn't work, trying to get rid of pot won't either. I'm all for anything that will get her playing with a dick. It's like booze, been helping us get laid for thousands of years.
"Prohibition didn't work, trying to get rid of pot won't either. I'm all for anything that will get her playing with a dick. It's like booze, been helping us get laid for thousands of years."
AMEN, Preach it!
Used to have knee problems (left one, from football injury & right one from falling arches.
Changed my diet (more protein), upped my exercize & got some orthotics for the arches: Knee pains gone, feet ache a little, but not as bad as before the arch supports.
If the bones aren't damaged, you might be able to get cartilege replacements instead of changing the whole joint, but save it for last resort.
Don't try to shove your leg up your ass with a motorcycle, it's likely to fuck up your knee.
It hurt like a sum bitch, was a while before I could get back on the cycle to go down the mountain to a doctor.
Just whip out that loggerhead and show it to 'em; that has always worked for me.
Smoke 'em it ya got 'em by all means.
Preverts.
I don't know about that, sounds like a good way to get tossed in jail, or shot.
Just because I voted no on that ill concieved swindle does not mean I endorse a situation that has made MILLIONS of otherwise ' law abiding citizens' , criminals.
Hell fucking no.
The Feds need to call THEIR fucking dogs off EVERYONES shit.
Powerdrunkchicke n shits.
.....Mebbe I aught ta git ME some ob dat marryjewannas, I know it feel like a towsan' yeeya sin' I 'marinated' MA seegar.
An' by "marinated my seegar " I means whey all de wite wimmons ate?
I don't know what white wimmin want, seems to me like they've all fucking gone crazy.
The injun chicks here are all fucking crazy also, packing too much baggage by the time they get around my age.
silly - our dollar stores are starting to go high end. i've seen prices as high as 3 bucks!
bill - pot is very easy to grow. it's getting resinous buds that's the tricky part. white women want to have their cake and eat it too.
harry - loggerhead? does bill keep a sea turtle in his pants?
tex - the lovely mrs myshkin takes gloucosamine and i steal the odd tablet when she isn't looking but i think synovial fluid is the key.
galt - i find pot to be very knee friendly. i rarely do anything physically exerting after sparking a number.
A dollar store here was going as high as three bucks, they failed and now we just have the Dollar Tree. I seldom think of going there.
Guess I'm lucky that I don't have any joints that hurt, if I did I think I'd try DMSO.
My experience with pot has been very limited, but did involve some in research with it during masturbation.
pilgrim-
I wouldn't know but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
That certainly would explain a lot of his....uh, attitude.
fwap, fwap..
Judith wanted to play with what I pack around for women but she took exception to my calling her an empire builder and got in her fucking Prius and drove away.
But it was still good sex by proxy. :-)
Billy P - how'd the fishing go? I'm hoping to get out this weekend, despite the weather. Isn't it a tad cold up your way for fishing???
Yeah, Billy P, how's the fishing? Hehehe
Billy P - ignore the fishing query. BBC has done educated me :-)
Doc Teri, she's okay.
Anyway, Friday morning now.
Cold here but we're expecting lots of sun for a few days so that's cool, I'll do some more puttering in the yard when I'm not whoring around on the internut.
Air up the tires on the boat trailer in case I decide to head to the lake for some fishing in the next week.
Can you also let us know what you eat for lunch today and when your mail comes?
I just made a big meatloaf, don't read my comments if you don't want to know what I'm doing, Billy P hasn't complained.
I didn't complain. Also it's hard to avoid your comments.
I hope you mean a real meatloaf.
I don't play your fucking games, when I say I just made a meatloaf it means I just made a meatloaf, pulled it out of the oven just before nine, that's when I fix a meal to take over to Helen. It's just that simple.
ruby likes meatloaf as long as it's not swimming in grease.
the weather is beautiful, i've put a lot of kilometers on the old bike these past few days. perfect biking weather, cold but you get a glow after a few minutes.
I never let MY meat loaf.
What?
Actually, this one was kind of greasy, but I poured it off as soon as I pulled it out of the oven. It tastes good but think I could have put some more oatmeal in it.
I was sure Harry would say something like that, I don't believe in letting my meat loaf either. :-)
Well gogdamnit, SOMEBODY had to say it. Somtimes I think pilgrim is the only one around here with any sense of humor.
I remember some old "5 & dime" stores.
'Ben Franklin' comes to mind for one.....
Hey! Harry's still kicking!
Just in time for my birthday soiree!
They wasn't five and dimes but remember the old Procter (sp and Gambles stores? That's where my first bike came from, in Casper, Wyoming. The first thing I did was run into a fire hydrant and put a dent in the tank. I wore that bike out in the Idaho mountains.
I figure that in a year or two I'll give up my post as president of the local chapter of Masturbators Anonymous and run for president of the local chapter of The Dead Dicks Society.
It will be a good thing, wanting sex with one of these insane chicks and not getting it makes a man disturbed and kind of crazy.
Maybe you should be nicer? Start with not calling anything female a "cocksucker" and you might get further than a drink in your face.
Leslie, I’m here to visit with Billy P and the others so how about you just leave me the fuck alone. There's women I get along with on the internut just fine, ya little cocksucker.
You're the one divulging all in a public forum, innit?
You obviously want attention.
I like to share things with others, it's not about me getting attention, you are not one of them. You just think you are the greatest shrink on this rock, you don't have a frigging clue about me and what/who I am.
I bet everyone could live without having to hear about where and when you masturbate.
I know who and what your are. It's not like you hide anything.
I've had enough of the bitch and won't be commenting at this post anymore.
The rest of you take care.
Aw shucks, NOW what are we gonna do ?
This is a FINE fucking mess you've got us into now LESLIE!
Somebody say something about a party ?
it's going to be difficult to find a replacement for bill. older men who can jerk off twice a day, everyday, don't grow on trees.
Oh, please. He's not going anywhere. Heard it all before.
Holy cannoli. 119 comments. This blog is blowing up, BP. I hope you still remember me when you are blogging superstar. Hope the knee is feeling better and the fluid gets flowing again. And excellent find at the dollar store. Have a great weekend.

Hell, I never STOP; won't that serve just as well?
I wish you luck on your knee, Billy. I know how it is when you have health maladies that linger on for years and years. Wish I could help ya out with the flat battery problems. all I have is the round variety and I have to save them for my Pocket Pussy on lonely nights. :)
