    well i went back in today and got a brace for the left knee.MRI was done that will take a couple days to come back with the results. as i was walking out of that jack hammer truck. i over heard the lady say wow did you see that mans poor knee all them operations and stuff looks like the man had a wild chainsaw operator in there, lots of scar tissue.total acl repair screws and a donor achiles tendon to make that ACL from back in 1992 is about the only thing holding that mans knee together, then she hushed up? as for the 2 to 3 month i live in IL the state is broke. and dealing with insurance is real fun. so i guees knee injections and morphine pills are what they consider a good idea. till they get approval.? it has been rainning all night and all day today and them pills are the only think keeping me moving today. the knee brace is nice and comfortable. give a feeling of stability. so with my cane my pills the brace. i guess im doing the best i can? i been online checking out the way they do these knee operations it looks easy but the PT is aggressive. i just want some of my life style back. my daughter has been looking for a trike kit for the old 84 venture. so far cheapest she found was around $1900 she said dad when that workers comp settlement comes in and you pay off the balance on the car you should have around 4k left if you want to fix the bike and place that on it she will pay half. so i at least have some hope to look forward too. or if im lucky i could sell the 84 and find someone with a bike that has the voyager kit on it cheap . its just a dream. but hey it keeps me going.

    xrays shows the knee shifted? out side of knee is where the bone is rubbing the most. so im becomming knocked knee. we talked it over did the injections. orderd a MRI and sent in a request and a referal. for knee replacement to medicade and medicare. this can take about a month or better for approval. docotor says the right knee, is compensating for the gate from the left knee problem. some injury in there. more then likely some torn cartlage? or menscuis? he can work on that one with out replacement but that left knee is just not going to hold up. so he wants to do it. now its just the waiting game.

    well i been haveing terrible knee pain in both knees. my left knee has been operated on over 17 times in just about as many years. there is now bone on bone. last night it tried to lock up? never had that before? heard a loud pop? now lots of pain. im going in for some injections. some xrays. and a possible MRI. i have been trying to get the doctor to replace this bad left knee. ever since the workers comp accident to it. im still fighting that case. of coure the doctor says your too young im 53 to have a total knee replacement? lets just keep doing the injections. well i got news for him. its my body my insurance company pays the bill. so lets get er done. no one should have to suffer if there is a better fix out there. granted a total knee replacement scares the crap out of me. like can i ride again? should i sell the venture and find a smaller bike?. it,s been over a year and a half and i have not taken the venture out for no more then 100 miles in that year and a half. im frustrated broke and just want to feel good again. get a bike i can handle. and maybe make that last run? well thanks for letting me get this out. off to see the doctor.

    today my great niece called and wanted to know if i wanted to go to the mall. now i know this was a trick to get a ride there. so i say sure but great uncle is broke and sure could use a nice hot dog at the mall she said sure no problem . so off i go to pick her up. now this is a 14 year old girl. so sure enough. there are 3 teenage girls waiting at grandmas thats who is raising her now. i said hey whats this? she said uh well they showed up and is it okay if they go to? there moms said its ok. so off we go these 3 teenage girls and a old goat. we get to the mall i get my hot dog and a soft drink. and just go and sit on a bench. while these girls run from every store in the place. while sitting on the bench. i hear these guys on the other bench whisper hey look at the guy with the pony tail is he a woman or a man? i got up went over and sat at the far end of there bench. looked them both in the eye and said hey how is your sex life going? they both looked at me and said why? i said well you must not be getting any. because if you cant tell the differance between a 250 pound man with a goatee and a ponytail from a woman. you just might want to go down there to the eye clinic and get your eyes checked out. one guy said well hows your sex life then? i said did you see them 3 teenage girls? they said yep sure did. i said im doing all three of there moms.( by the way im not.) but boy did the 2 men on the bench i got up from sure busted out laughing.:rotf:

    just letting you all know. that the job i worked at for the homeless pepole ended today. they opened up the winter shelter in town here. so once again food, and bills will be tight. i just dont what to do any more? im tired of trying to keep my head up. and fighting the wolves at my door. im still dealing with a workers comp case for over 3 years now. the INSURANCE COMPANY for the employer for got to submit a medical set aside aggrement? we went in for the settlement offer only to be tould it will take another 4 months because of the insurance company not follwing the rules. of course they will have a penatly to pay. big deal it dont help me none. it will go onto my settlement when ever that comes? so here i sit. looking at the car thinking i cant make the payments next month. they have been nice and defered 3 payments for me as i was thinking hey the settlement was to be approved this month. and it didnt happen. so once again food will waht i can get from the pantry every 2 weeks? the internet or cable has to go?. i went down and applied for energy assistance. and im 150 on the list ouch!! but should be approved. im just glad that i did save a little to make it to a friends daughters funeral. i think when my time comes the good lord will know that no matter how little i had i gave what i could. take care everyone. i will pop in and out when i stop at the local library. sincerly oldgoat.

    yep sky doc-17 set me up with a good radiator. mine leaked on the upper top right by the cap. found out it was the little pipe thing that the over flow hooked up to. after putting on skydoc,s and some good used hoses i got the bike back on the road. and the old radiator was fixed by a local shop here for $15 bucks. so i have a spare as well. the man said he never saw such a good looking radiator for as old as mine was. and it just looked like someone pinched that little pipe. he straigtened it out put a small nail in it to reopen it up for the hose and did some kind of weld and pressure tested it. so the old one is now good as well.

    just got back last night from the funeral and a small vist with 2 of my best girls my daughter Amber and Dianne. the funeral for my friends daughter went well. then some time with my girls. and i got to see a picture of dianne,s boyfriend. hansome guy can a man say another guy is hansome? any ways. he got his insurance check from his stolen items that i talked about a few post,s back. he is now going to hold onto that money and look for a venture!! see i can talk some pepole into buying one of these great bikes. i warned him about the 83 frame problems and the second gear problems. and advised him to maybe go 86 and up. so looks like next spring we may have a new member?
