Yowch.

All right people, a PSA from Dr. Lemur… Discography, Discogram:  (DIS-coh-gram) n.  A procedure whereby a huge large-diameter needle is inserted clear through the neck of a strapped-down person in order to inflate discs between vertebrae on the opposite side of the neck in an attempt to reproduce or make worse the patient’s symptoms, performed [...]

Pressure points

They did a discography today. Note:  Many thanks to The Dude (aka Wilson to my House) for taking a half day off and driving me to and from the procedure.  Cruel Wife couldn’t originally get the time off but then came down with a nasty cold and so I’m keeping her at least one room [...]

Thanksgiving: Where’s the Turkey?

Happy Thanksgiving folks! We were going to go to a retaurant for dinner but got invited to a Thanksgiving dinner at the last moment.  The friend of mine up at the UofM. He felt guilty that he wouldn’t be able to take me to tdo test procedure on Monday because he’d be on travel to [...]

The Tits of the Iceberg.

Note:  The posting below is out of character for what I’d normally write but it is something that I’ve pondered over many a time. The link in the next line has an article that touches on something that has bothered me for years. Yoga pants. Ladies, in case you hadn’t noticed, yoga pants allow other [...]

They Succeed Because We Let Them.

I think one thing that we’ve been talking about a lot in Boston is the fact this is not necessarily anti-capitalism, and that this isn’t anti-wealth. And so, you know, we’ve found that some people who are just wealthy might be a little alienated by our movement.   And so we’ve been sort of actively trying [...]

Slaughterhouse Rules.

Saw the surgeon today.  He listened to my symptoms, asked a number of questions, and explained what he thought was going on. So two discs look like they are problematic and he says there’s no question he wants to remove them and fuse the vertebrae. There’s another symptom I’m having, and it has to do [...]

What’s the tipping point?

While you were asleep… [Henry J.] Aaron, a recent Obama nominee, has expressed similar views. He wrote a piece earlier this year called, “The Independent Payment Advisory Board — Congress’s ‘Good Deed.’” The grisly IPAB, one of the most underreported of Obamacare’s myriad of liberty-sapping features, would have the power to cut Medicare spending each [...]

But he’s not a sicko…

His words, “I could say that I have done some of those things” smacks of dishonesty almost as much as “I did not have sex with that woman).  It’s when you resort to stilted speech that sounds clunky that you are pretty sure to be a lying sack of sh*t. Read his statement… The former [...]

Wrap your brain around this?

Franken-boy turned six recently.  The wrap-around in the title has more to do with a python wrapped around a limb this weekend than any intellectual exercise. Some weekends we usually go to this small coffee shop a half hour away and hang out with my buddy from the UofM.  About a month ago we were [...]

There are monsters and then there are MONSTERS.

I hear some Penn St. people are upset about what the Sandusky coverup has done to “a good man”, Paterno. Demonstrators overturned a TV news van, toppled street lights, shook stop signs and threw toilet paper. From rooftops and in the streets, they yelled “F— Sandusky!” and “We Want JoePa!” The campus chaos began shortly [...]

Attention Whoring as an Investment in Your Future.

Veeshir, of DPUD, who has studiously boycotted me for what seems like years, blogged about an attention whore.   The guy gets college credit for it.  It’s like a PhD in Ego Whoring. Whatever is his thesis work, a big steaming pile of poo? I couldn’t help but comment over there on veeshir’s post. “I’m like [...]

Hard Time.

Lindsay Lohan sentenced to 30 days and released in 4 hours?  What do you want to bet that she gets four tears tattooed on her butt? I understand alcoholism and addiction.  But at some point you gotta be allowed to bottom out in order to face up to your problem, realize there’s nothing you can [...]

Stuck in a Rut

If you have been wondering it has been more of the same. Would you believe that the length of time you can wait to see a doc can be measured in weeks and months? This is with pain through the neck and arm with numbness and burning through the wrist, thumb, and index finger. Great, [...]
