Joe,
My mother's recipe was 3 Asprin, 2 Motrin. My Doctor was appalled with
the thought. Asprin and Motrin work on different pain receptors (COX 1
and COX 2). I have two herniated disks. Spent 6 months with the second
one and then it finally eased up. No surgery for this guy (if I can
stand it, it's been almost 30 years now). Good luck, Dennis!

FYI re back pain:
The FAA requires such a long interval between narcotics and flying I
was effectively grounded with the pills I got for back pain even if I
only took them at night. I switch to using 1 Advil, 1 Tylenol, and got
a TENS unit and cranked it way up. It worked a treat 😊

I know the pain. I have for 12 weeks now 3 herniated discs
pronouncing on both sides of spine and a pinched nerve that took me to
the hospital for 8 days. The pain is down the right side to the toes
and although I’m walking gently with a cane, at least I’m moving.
Keeping the boat covered until I can actually sail it….might be a long
summer. Surgeon said to let it heal naturally and if it returns for a
second run, then we’ll do surgery. Might be a lost summer here on
Georgian Bay.

Joe asked "How are we all doing this spring?"
Touche' is doing great! It's in the best condition ever. It
sits in its slip ready to cruise east to Pensacola or beyond.
Its owner, however, is not great. A few weeks ago, I was
cleaning and prepping Touche' to head east. I had
crew scheduled. I was excited to try out the new solar panels
for some extended anchoring out around the Gulf Islands
National Seashore. The weather was looking awesome. Cool
nights and southerly winds for anchoring on the north side of
the islands.
Then I slipped while cleaning the boat. Caught myself.
Didn't think much about it until a couple days later when I
developed sciatica type pain and significant weakness in my
right leg. Deemed it unsafe to move around the boat with 1.25
of 2 legs. MRI showed a bulging disc and a couple
other issues. Boo! Got a spinal steroid shot to kill the
pain. Surgery this Thursday. 3-6 month recovery.
I missed 2-3 weeks of some of the best cruising weather I've
seen in recent years. Really bummed. By the time I recover,
the summer heat will be here. 😡🤬☹️ Arrrrgh!!
