As some have noticed I don't post much any more. Well it probably won't change anytime soon. But I do read the forum at least once a day. Years ago I did lots of fun stuff I knew you guys were interested in and I was buying knives and testing them. Now I work, talk with room mates and surf so not much to say. But anyways on to what I was going to talk about.

Been having some joint issues that my Chyropractor has been helping with then over the holidays it got really bad. Been limping for over 2 months. Last thursday I went back to him and we started getting things back in alignment. The whole messed up joint thing has been wrecking havoc with my nerves. Then I also have some Wisdom teeth in need of extraction. One of which has been causing masive pain off and on for a long time. It got infected Wednesday night.thursday morning. The lymph nodes next to that tooth were swollen bad enough it hurt to swallow at times. And instead of the normal 6 hours of pain this was constant. So I had that tooth removed Thursday night and spent the next 2 days in bed sipping soups and yougert. Finally monday I was able to go back to work. The infection finally started going down Sunday and the welling on my throte has finally gone down. No painkillers needed since 6am yesterday.

Life is starting to look good. Going to get the other 3 Wisdom teeth removed in the next few weeks. Everyone in the know has been sending up smoke and prayers for me. And I can feel them working. I've felt more at peace the last few days despite the pains. Pain is now intermitant and small. The nerves in my body are still upset I let the problems go so long with out fixing but they too are getting better. I think with further work and prayers I should be back to my healthy self in a few weeks.

Found out December 8th that the company I've been with for almost 3 years was sold and my store will be closing sometime this spring. I'm sticking with the company till the end and finantially I'm doing great. Then the joints started going bad and the teeth. It's been an interesting couple of months. LOL!! Spirits are high thanks to lots of prayers and a good aditude. Can't wait for the medical stuff to be better so I can start doing some shooting and Leather working again. Also got some other hobbies that take a steady hand I want to do but if I do them now with my hands shaking costantly it won't be pretty. LOL. I know that the healing process would be much slower if it wasn't for my friends and family costantly praying for me and giving me help. :)

So yeah, the prayer threads here do help. I have seen the requests and prayed for everyone that askes even if I don't respond. Will try better though.

Just wanted to let you all know I'm still here, getting better and that Prayers and good thoughts work! I woke up thinking about sheaths so I'll probably write down my ideas then get ready for the day... IT's my day off so not sure what I'll do. LOL!!

Good news. I've leaned on these folks in the past too, and can't say enough about the comfort they've given. Glad to be a part of the circle.

Thanks Gents! Today after work I was out and about. First time I've been online the forums. My second rib on the left side is out of place, so are my hips a little, but my teeth are feeling a bit better. Swelling in my jaw is gone and the infection is almost gone. Today was a dang good day. :) Spent about 30 minutes walking around the complex after dinner talking to some lady friends. With the 4 inches of snow on the ground and chill in the air, it was kind of nice. Oh course I was dressed really warm. ;) It just felt good to be alive and outside smelling the snow in the air. Smelt like it's going to snow again in the mountains and possibly down here in the valley.

My church group is getting together for some kind of activite tonight. Might wander over the the apartment lounge in 30 mintues when it starts to see whats up. Being able to walk with out much pain after doing it for 2 months in pain is nice. :) Anyways, hope you all are having a good evening too!!

The smoke does indeed work. And my smoke for you, friend. Best of luck in all you're going through.

I'm glad you're feeling better Heber. I seem to recall you cutting the hell out of your hand a few years ago? Was that you? (Apropo of nothing, just free associating! ;))

I'm glad you're getting the teeth squared away. Nothing can make you more miserable, and hopefully the chiropractic will have your body feeling better as well.

Best of luck to you.

Norm, you remember correctly, Almost took my hand off on accident with a Monster 15" AK weighing in around 2 pound. 1/2" thick spine too. But thats 90% healed. :)

Got 4 teeth pulled Monday after work. The last 3 wisdom teeth and a muller next to one of them that had broken when it's wisdom tooth came in. It was beyond repair. The nausia is almost gone and so is most of the pain. Am glad I took 2 days off work for this. The pain was never bad. The bad teeth hurt worse then the pullings. Which was quite fasinating by the way. The first tooth that was infected was a Surgical extraction, the other 4 were standard extractions so they didn't cost much at all.

What little pain I did have is pretty much gone. I'm still on soft mushy foods and taking it easy so I don't get dry socket. I got some Gift Certificates to Village Inn over Christmas. When I'm able to eat solid foods again I'm going to take a lady friend and I out to eat. :) I can't wait!!

An interesting thing about prayer; I got a small cold late last week which looked like it would put a dampener on getting my teeth done this week. Well between my praying and everyone elses the Cold symptoms went away around 4pm Monday which is when I got off work to see the dentist. I didn't have a sniffle, stuffy nose or cough the whole time I was in the dentist office. The sniffles came back after I got home. My faith in prayer is Really really strong! Thanks to all that have Prayed for me, it has helped more then you will probably know. :D And thank you for letting me talk about it!!!
