Divetalking

Made a trip out to Georgia today to visit Tuff-E-Nuff. TISIRI was onsite and I wanted to film some of the vessel and the work being performed. At around 5:00pm we get the news the method we were going to use to place the tug on dry land is broken. It will take a month to get it repaired. All worked stopped, things were packed up and we left the vessel. We must now find a way to get her to a location which she can be prepared as an artificial reef. We may loose this vessel. There are creative alternatives and we will pursue all avenues. Show your support. Donate anything to our cause. It can be time, you can donate someone elses time 🙂 , money is always helpful, equipment, … Read entire article »

  The Cobalt Diving computer is the first of a new generation of computers that are easy to use, intuitive and easy to read. The menu driven display is self-explanatory at every level and can be mastered in just a few minutes. This simplicity is in contrast to its powerful capabilities and the many advanced user functions available to those who wish to use them.

The day I thought would never arrive has arrived. The SAMSUNG Epic Galaxy S consumes so much battery life you need to have the phone continuously plugged in. I’m at home, it’s plugged in and charging. I’m at work, the SAMSUNG Epic Galaxy S is plugged in and charging. While I am driving, the SAMSUNG EPic Galaxy S is plugged in and charging. All this because I woke up one moring to find my phone OFF. It was off because during the night, it ran out of battery power. I will try an experiment tomorrow. Tomorrow morning when I take the phone off the charger, I will not charge it all day. I will use as I normally would, just like I’ve used my iPhone for the past 2.5 years and … Read entire article »

I think I found my pace, as far as meds goes. I’ve set up camp on my living room floor. This is where I spend most of my evenings and weekend days. On my back, with pillows as something to lean on. Today has been fairly relaxing. The pain in my back is under control at the moment and unless something dramtic happens, I plan on reporting less often on my injury. My next visit with the orthopod is Oct 7, 2010. My last visit the Dr. prescribed me a cane, a cane, can you believe this? It’s to help me with keeping falls to the floor at a minimum. Until the next Injury Update, a little bit of advise, sit at the back of the boat 🙂 Larry … Read entire article »

Today, Thursday September 9, 2010 I visit the Orthopod to discuss the results of my MRI. Here is what I received: RADIOLOGY REPORT PROCEDURE: Multiplanarmultisequence imaging is obtained FINDINGS: The prevertibral soft tissue are normal in appearance. THere is marrow edema in the T12 vertibral body, and there is a slight depression of the superior endplate. This is consistent with an acute to subacute compression fracture. The posterior wall of the vertebral body is intact. The disks above and below this vertibral body appear normal. The L1-L2 and L2-L3 intervertebral disks are unremarkable. L3-L4: There is a decrease in signal intensity in the interverbral disk. Minimal posterior bulding of this disk is present. This does not cause significant mass effect on the thecal sac.The neural foramina are patent. The L4-L5 and the L5-S1 intervertebral disks are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1.

it’s been a few days since I last wrote on the subject of my injury. Last Thursday I phoned the Orthopod and described a number of symptoms I was experiencing. Headache, Cool sensation in the back of my head, loss of use of lower left extremedies. With this information I received a phone call stating the Dr. would like an MRI. That was scheduled the following day when I received a call asking when I would be available for the MRI. It was scheduled for Tuesday evening. Last night I went and had the MRI. It took a little less than one hour and I was out by 7:40pm. I asked for a copy of the pictures and was told I would need to get the Dr. to request the copy. … Read entire article »
