Title: Yes, I live.
Post by: Raziel on October 02, 2020, 08:37:57 AM: So I was reminded that I have not posted an update, my apologies. Write it down, thats one for the record books. So, here goes....

Day of surgery, I explain to the doctor and nursing staff that it is hard for me to wake up from anaesthesia. I explain that the best way to wake me up is to have my wife there as I can get violent if she is not there. I was supposed to wake up around 1:00 p.m., but they didn't heed my warning about the anesthesia. I recall the first instance of waking up and a resident was within reach and I snatch him the the shirt, jersey him to me and asked where my wife was, politely, at least I thought I was polite. I was out again. I woke up another time to a nurse who got too close to me and left imprints on her forearm, still asking for my wife, politely, I swear. Around 5:00p.m., I finally woke up and started pulling on the machines when a new shift nurse peeked in from outaide the curtain and asked if I was awake and tame. Yes, asked if I was tame. They rapidly helped me dress like they were trying to shove me out the door and to the car.

Then it was being confined to my bed for the next 4 weeks. Not happy, but lots of strawberry cheesecake ice cream in a waffle cone.

Then it was back to work and ridiculous physical therapy from the VA that I could have printed off from the internet myself and done from home, which is what they wanted me to do anyways.

And now I'm expected full duty by November 17th according to surgeon I met with Wednesday. Yay me. All this anti-police sentiment, verbal threats, protestint, makes me want to open a can of 5.56 and have fun.

Is it retirement yet?

Is it Gathering yet?

Is it 2021 yet?

Post by: psyche {Raz} on October 02, 2020, 09:11:23 AM: That doesn't at all sound like you -chuckles- It is good to hear that part of you is healing and that life will soon return to normal.

You have been missed and are loved.

Let us know please.

Post by: Raziel on November 26, 2020, 01:43:21 PM: Update:

Ok, so I am more or less out of touch with quite a number of things. My knee is not 100% but pretty good. Id say im about 80% there. Still alive and pushing, not tempting my knee with kicking, so just alive and pushing. You are all loved and missed. I wish you all a wonderful Holiday.

Post by: kemma on November 26, 2020, 06:46:29 PM: Good to hear, Raz. You’ll be 100% before you know it. 100% what? I don’t know. ;D

Watch out for ice and snow. Just a little is all it takes to wreak havoc on a knee.

Happy Holidays.

Post by: Raziel on January 01, 2021, 02:09:38 PM: Life.
The year of 2020 made life pretty much suck. Not just for me, but for all of us. It has affected everyone's life in such an upheaving manner. Majority of the time, all we can do is gein and bear through it all. For every faction, whether you are left wing, right wing, individual, or non-faction, the past year has changed how we look at alot of things. We all look at the government different, we look at medicine different, we look at law enforcement different and we look at each other different.

Through it all, we can all agree that life in 2020 sucked. I am back on the road and I have to say, I have been considering a career change. I've also considered going to another agency. Then again ive considered simply retiring super early. Its so confusing at times that its like being a freshman in college again trying to figure out a major. Right now, I've been majoring in family. With a house full of females, my sanity is hanging by hair of a thread. The knee is still pained but so much better function wise. I probably should have done physical therapy at the time but was just a little stubborn. The children are better and I spend as much time simply being home with Jill and the kids as much and as often as I can.

I hope everyone had a thankful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas. The holidays can be a struggle for so many and hopefully all my family here were not too affected. The holidays can be depressing and more and it is a season where depression rises. Please remember we have each other and if needed, I am here as well to simply be an ear or a venting wall if you want.

Thus with some depressions and families being together (ie my mother in law living with me) things can get heated and there can be arguments. It doesn't hurt to simply say I'm sorry first. We all make mistakes whether we like it or not. We all also need to realize that there is much more to life than holding a grudge or being bullhead. I know I am famous for being stubborn but I am also a good diplomat, at least from time to time. Remember, having friends and family are not easy to come by so cherish what we have, make amends and move onward. You never know when you will see or hear from that person again and you may regret the pettiness of the past.

It is my greatest wish that 2021 is the best year year for us all and we are closer together than before.

Raz

Ps. Also hoping for a Gathering date

Post by: RAGNAR on January 01, 2021, 04:59:36 PM: Hey True!!!!!

2020... the year shit got real.

Do what your head tells you to do. LE is in for some deep shit. Politicians are in for some deep shit. Our Country is in for some deep shit.

May 2021 see all the crap pass quickly, and be what we all wish it to be within our own lives.

Gathering date?

Tentatively July 11th to 19th. Technically 12 - 19, but some of us get there a day early to set up. The 4th of July crowd (if there is one) should be out by then.

Post by: Raziel on January 22, 2021, 12:24:07 PM: So,

2020 was not done with me yet. December 16, 2020, I was released from light duty and had to recertify at the firing range and driving course as well as taser, baton, pepper spray, handcuffed, ground defense etc. Qouldnt you know it that while at the firing range, its raining and I go to shoot from the kneeling position and take the wrong knee, driving my right knee into the concrete with all my weight on it. Then, in order to avoid any more pain, I tried to push off the ground with my left foot and shotgun buttstock when I fell to my right side, stiff arm out and jammed my shoulder straight up to the sky.

Back on the desk, back on light duty, back at physical therapy. This should be a shorter duration, pending my MRI results. I'll keep you updated.

Yay 2021.

Post by: Raziel on February 18, 2021, 09:30:51 AM: Three tears. One in my shoulder, two in knee. Shoulder is a rotator cuff tear and surgery is scheduled for March 2. Knee has a lateral tear in the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus. That surgery is pending 4 to 6 weeks post-op of my shoulder.

Occifer Lucky was on the job again I see. No worries True... tear that stuff up enough and it will disintegrate and you won't have to worry about it being there anymore. If not working at Gathering, say the word. I have a Dremel, superglue, duct tape, and some old innertube I am sure I can make all work again. May even have a wire coat hanger, and a needle with spare fishing line!!!!!

You do need to ask Jill to ease up on you. All that trapeze sex is tearing you apart... no matter how much fun it is. "It isn't good foreplay unless it results in a trip to the ER" can be carried a bit far. Stick with the ER... but avoid the critical care units!!!!!

Post by: psyche {Raz} on April 03, 2021, 07:50:10 PM: -makes sure that I quote this correctly-

He currently feels like "Horse Shit", there was a bit more damage than they thought which was found during his surgery. He is still stubborn and ornery as usual, but I wouldn't want him any other way. lol

I'm sure he will provide more info when he decides to pop his head onto here. <3
Title: Re: Yes, I live.
Post by: Raziel on April 03, 2021, 09:33:55 PM: March 2 I had surgery. For the life of me, I can't remember getting home. There was more damage in my arm than thought. Actually had a tear the was stitched, a tear that was anchored and while in the shoulder with the camera the doctor noticed that my bicep was barely hanging on from its own severe tear. He cut the tendon and moved it from where it was tearing, anchoring that to bone as well.

March 9 was first day of physical therapy. Working on range of motion. Yeah well my therapist is PT nazi.

March 23 was range of motion test and range of motion without pain was better than they anticipated. Of course I hadn't been wearing my sling and brace since like the week of surgery, but wasn't gonna tell them about that, or the work I wasn't doing at the house, or about the things I was moving with that arm I wasn't supposed to. I'm a week ahead of schedule ready for strength conditioning.

March 30 I met with surgeon for follow up and my concerns about the pain and the knot on the side of my arm are brushed away. He wants me to be able to lift both arms above my head and then behind my head and behind my back by the next follow up on April 27. He doesn't want me to pick up anything heavier than a coffee mug. ::) Won't tell him about the bags of potting soil.

April 1, the physical therapist asks what the doctor said. Showed her the movements the doctor wanted me to be able to do by the next appointment. She frowned at me.

They keep asking how I feel. I keep asking if they've ever been kicked by a mule. Surprisingly they don't know what that feels like. So I tell them go get kicked then they won't have to ask anymore. They made notes in my packet about my attitude. They ask if I can move my shoulder a certain way and when I say like this and proceed to do it, they yell and tell me not to do it. I yell back and tell them "how the hell am I supposed to know if I can move my shoulder if I don't move my shoulder?" They make more notes in my packet about attitude and exceeding therapy restrictions. I get light duty from doctor with the words "No USE of right arm" written on it.

Next on the agenda, turkey hunting. Been waiting to break out the shotgun.

Post by: kemma on April 04, 2021, 06:58:38 PM: psyche{Raz} ~ Thank you for the update. You serve your Master well.

Raz?

When you said you dealt with filthy animals and loads of bull shit at your job, I pictured something completely different than what I'm seeing now! "Horse shit" , "mule kicks" and "potting soil" can only mean one thing:

YOU'RE A FARMER!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I imagine that bib overalls and steel toe boots will help keep you trudging thru all the manure in your path to healing.

Best wishes and may the next update be a happier one.

Post by: Raziel on July 02, 2021, 06:40:06 PM: Knee surgery was May 13th. Thought I was doing doing good, physical therapy for the knee and Occupational therapy for the shoulder and bicep. Knee pain has increased and can't walk for more than 15 to 20 min. That's walking and standing. Now I find out I have to have another surgery July 22 for some infection in my gastrointestinal tract. Yay me. One more week, just one more week til vacation.

Post by: Izee on December 19, 2021, 11:36:24 PM: Yes, Raz, I am going to sound harsh...but...

You are Rags True...and that is NO LITTLE THING! And , what you accomplished, will always live on. I tell that to myself, although I am in a very low key. I am recovering from a physical and mental illness. The physical was easier, I can walk now, even without a cane. My mind is waking up, and I keep posting about my life...it helps me when I remind me of what I have done. I am a manic/depressive...so when I am on my high, I win Jury Trials, get the IRS to rewrite a Regulation...and got the Cops to clear an Event I was running. (No one got hurt, no drugs or alchohol was consumed...I had just forgotten to get a permit.) "I doan need no steekeen permit" I actually said. I was placed off to the side as the Police ran the situation through their higher ups...and they released me...and it went on. An Officer was beside me during the rest of the Event...we laughed...he was just there to make sure that I didn't do something worse.

When Izee' went into the Tuchuk camp, and saw you, she was scared.
