I'm a sorry son of a gun

Hi Thorgrim, if your back is causing you pain look into PEA, which is short for palmitoylethanolamide.
It's a completely natural compound that works truly fantastic, among others as a painkiller without any side effects and also no known interaction with pharmaceutical medication.

I have been using it for years as a neuroprotectant for my eyes, and i also recommended it to a friend of mine who has serious back problems due to several crushed discs (plus a full titanium support structure screwed to his spine).
He was on large doses of fentanyl (morphine) each day for years, and was able to make a complete switch to PEA and he no longer needs any fentanyl.
He is over the moon.

I have found PEA to work best for me if i start the first week with 6 x 400 mg a day, then lower the dose to 4 or 3 x 400 mg each day.
My friend does the same.

This link leads to medical reading material about PEA on Pubmed:

See what you think of it.

For motorized sharpening & polishing you could look at Paper Wheels, i have been using these with good results since 2009

If you aren't already inundated with offers, I just bought fresh plates for my Work Sharp Precision Adjust. I could take on a few.
 
Sorry to hear of your tribulations. I know what it looks like because my wife had very similar injuries last year.

Send knives to me and I will sharpen them for you. I'm in California.
 
I also am very willing to sharpen your knives for you. It calms my anxiety. PM and we can set something up. No charge obviously.
 
Many thanks to all who have offered to sharpen knives, it says a lot of good things about the members of this forum.

My biggest bugaboos are the tension tremors and they have for some reason improved lately. I'll just have to time my knife-sharpening for when they're not bad, and if necessary stop in the middle of sharpening if they worsen.

Also, I had all of my injuries plus a cluster of migraines "firing off" at the same time and I guess I just wanted to whinge a little.

PS - We caught the tail end of Hurricane Helene here in NE TN. What looked to be the work of a very small tornado ripped up one of our large `36: diameter red oaks by the roots and dropped it back in place, and it then fell on the house. More specifically, it fell on my bedroom at the end where I was sleeping. Tree fell on roof, roof broke threw the trusses and rafters, and the whole mess fell on me. I got hit pretty hard but nothing is broken - martial arts instincts saved me again, as at the sound I put up "X" blocks with both forearms and shins, giving me enough time to react before the big hit came. I'm a bit sore and jammed up all over, but nothing broken and only scratches and I'm alive only because the top third of the tree hit our massive stone fireplace which thankfully sits on a solid foundation and that kept the tree from squishing me. I'd show you pictures of the aftermath on my phone, but it got broken as well. It still worked so I took it with me to get an MRI, and while there either it slipped out of my pocket or I got my pocket picked. A search of the area by staff and their lost and found did not locate the phone. Then I found out that although my spinal stimulator is surely dead by now, I can't get an MRI unless it's fully charged and thus can be put into "MRI Mode".

It gets better - in the rush of people helping me, apparently someone grabbed the charger for my implant along with some other small, important-looking things which included my password book, and put them only who knows where in the garage for safekeeping. I now can't get into my bank account, can't file a claim with Apple's insurance for my phone, and can't change anything to get a new password as I don't have a phone to verify that I'm me. I'm going to have to do all of it in person as far as Apple and the bank are concerned. I've been hacked hard before, and this is a lot like that was.

But I'm still kicking, just not as high right now, and I'm still happy to be alive despite the sorry shape I'm in at the moment!
