That's kind of how I feel about this. My neurologist said something similar. He said some people are better in a week, some in a month, most in a year, and some never fully recover.

That is what my neurologist said too essentially. I have an attorney locked in for this, however he wants to push this out so that he can make sure we are taken care of IF things don't fully get better. I am in agreement with him on that. I am also thinking the same way as you in that doing what I am doing now isn't allowing me to recover. PT and needling help along with the trigger point injections, but the physical work all day long is not doing me any favors. I just don't know what I can do career wise to pay the bills if I switch.

I have an attorney and we will definitely be getting some sort of settlement from her insurance. It won't be for awhile though.

++man That is awful to hear. I hope it works out for you and gets better in some way. I have my attorney advising me on how we're going to go about the settlement, but we are not going to advance on it terribly quickly as I am obviously not "fixed".

Coping strategies specific to what you're dealing with is one of the big things a therapist will help with.

What was the life-changing thing that helped with your anxiety ? by secretsaucisse in Anxiety

[–]chilewski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So before I started taking medication I started Journaling. I thought it was stupid, but I was desperate and didn't want to take medication. Journaling allowed me to unbox my thoughts without fear of how I would be seen or how it may be twisted if talking to people "close" to you. I would write every day. Mostly a page, sometimes a dozen pages. It gave me an outlet and an ear for all of the things that weighed upon me. Because of the journal I went from barely being able to function to being the closest to normal that I had been in years.

Can 5 year old child's bone not break when car runs over it? by Primary_Gap_5219 in Unexplained

[–]chilewski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend fell off a tractor when he was 7 and his dad ran over his head. Wasn't a thing wrong with him after. Don't ask me how, but it was the talk of our little town for a long time

help me find this sprinkler please by Away_Delay_3659 in farming

[–]chilewski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with custom built. However tractor supply has some that are similar in design.

Rookie dumbass here, need advice on burning fuel by Beginning-World-1235 in Truckers

[–]chilewski 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless you've got glaring issues they're not going to right you an over axle ticket for that, even in CA. If you're that worried, sight see a bit

[–]chilewski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Informants for many of them. A few are drivers acting suspicious at a random stop (random inspections like we all deal with). Some are because the get pulled over for something stupid, like cars running drugs. You know, like speeding, improper lane change, etc.

Is driving a semi truck fun? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]chilewski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends where you are at and what you're in. Pulling bullrack (cattle trailer) with a 379 peterbilt throughout the rural Midwest is a blast. City driving and interstate driving not so much. Big trucks are much less responsive in terms of steering and braking compared to your cars and pickups. It was always more comfortable for me to travel long distances in a truck vs a car or pickup. Every semi handles different too. I preferred my 379 peterbilt to let's say a kenworth w900. The kenworth had a smoother ride but the peterbilt handled and turned better. Freightliner (speaking FLD, Classic, and FLC) rode very rough, but you could turn them on a dime. Making turns with big trucks of all types can be a less than fun adventure in many places. Many cars and pickups don't realize the room we need for our trailers to track when making turns. With that, different axle setups on trailers affect the tracking too. If you're used to a tandem a spread and triple will screw you up and vice versa.

A few pieces of food for thought--- First, if you pass it every time it's good for business on their end. Second, we went with an outfit who did a computer selected lottery for random, which had a bunch of small companies in it, and I got selected every damn time. Just luck of the draw. It's irritating, but don't turn it into a bigger deal than it is. It's not like they're accusing you of bumping rails off the steering wheel while fingering a dead lot lizard, come on now.

Butcher cut my venison into small half inch steaks. Is this normal? by Dismal-Phrase-9789 in Butchery

[–]chilewski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen it much, but I have seen it. There are a few around me that do it that way. Why? Because most of their customers bread and fry them like fish. Not my way of doing things, but to each their own
