As a youth, I looked forward to the day when I could walk with a cane, so I could walk around armed all the time. Not there yet. Not quite.
But I think you need to srsly consider a cane, brother.

The only cane I am considering is candy.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 09-13-2025
The dumb thing about Shaolin cane is that it requires a 540 tornado kick towards then end of the set. Hard to do if you need a cane. A 360 is hard to do. Can you do a 360 tornado kick Greg? If not, you need a cane.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 09-13-2025
The other Candy I would consider would be John.

Well, that was the last rehab visit. I guess I'm fixed? Except for the part where I can only reach about 60% above my head with my left arm. It was explained to me during the visit the only thing I can do is keep exercising the shoulder. I can add weights at some point. But Kaiser has taken me as far as they can.
Heal thyself.

Yeah. Thanks, Kaiser
I’m a month into PT for my knees & wrists & weak leg. So far it is making a significant difference. Stairs are not as painful, I’m a little livelier when getting stabbed. The bad news is that the weak leg is permanent, but strengthening the muscles helps.

I did a lot of PT for my neck when I was first diagnosed with cervical arthritis. My fav was when they put me in this machine that stretched my neck. I was to lie in that contraption for like a half hour as it pulled on my head and all I could think about was that someone designed it and then someone built it and then someone sold it to Kaiser…

Colonoscopy today...hopefully it won't be a shitty day.

You should have gotten the shitty part done yesterday.
RE: I'm more broken than you - King Bob - 10-10-2025
Speaking of stretching, I started doing a new exercise, and the other day it apparently stretched my spine somehow causing it to crack in five places rapidly, one after the other. Self chiropractic?
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 10-11-2025
I get those chiro cracks when I do certain twists in yoga & qigong. It partly why I do it.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 10-11-2025
I've opted to punish the recalcitrant shoulder with weights and more resistance.
