Bob Chill Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Damn Leesburg! Don't be posting that stuff. I'm kinda scared already. My doc freeked me out when she said that if my leg suddenly gets weak then it's a medical emergency. I was like WUT!?!? MRI in a week. Gotta just deal for now. One of my less favorite days of the last year or so. Congrats Adelphi! First one is kinda scary. I was a wreck. You're life has changed forever (and in a good way). Don't expect much sleep for 6 months though. That part isn't optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamerakitten Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm bummin. Had unusual pain in my leg last couple days but only in a sitting position. Became burning and unmanageable so I went and saw my doc today. Appears a ruptured or herniated disc is in my future. Sciatic nerve is being constricted somehow. I've had some manageable back pain since a football injury in the 80's. Never that bad and never went to a doc because I knew how to make it go away when it flared. Apparently you're not supposed to do that. MRI next week. I'm becoming bitter Bob by the minute. My post quality will be declining. I feel for you! I slipped at work in December and have some fantastic sciatica that PTand shots haven't helped. MRI shows disc issues so it's off to a neurosurgeon next week. This spring and summer are gonna suck. I hope that they can fix you up quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get these shooting pains that go up and down my leg. When it flares up it can get very painful and uncomfortable and lasts for hours. I guess it has to do with the disc slipping in and out of position. I think it's definitely the sciatic nerve but since it's only occurring about once or twice a week I'm able to deal with it. Right now I don't want to deal with doctors but if it gets worse I will have to. The burning you mentioned is the worst part for me. During a flare up I don't know where the pain is centered as it extends from the hip all the way down to the foot. Hope it gets better for you. Good luck.

Jebman Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Tuesday March 4 2014 Today was a blast! It looks like January outside. Snow is EVERYWHERE! It topped out at 35 degrees this afternoon but never no mind, the snow held firm. You'd never even know it was March. We hit ZERO last night. The Glendale Slope north facing lawns, the Leninskaya Slope and the Delaney Valley all resemble a ski resort in mid winter! Snow depth is 3.5 inches now. The shopping centers have towering new plowed snow piles! I looked around in total awe, damn near with tears in my eyes! It's hard as heck to believe the calendar! There was still ice on roads in shaded areas! THAT'S TWO DAYS OF 100 PERCENT AREAL SNOW COVERAGE! IN MARCH!! ON THE TROPICAL FALL LINE! I love this winter so much. I dont want another winter pattern ever! I want THIS winter pattern forever! That makes 45 days of snow cover this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecosense Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm on a north facing slope the snow cover has persisted since January 2. The snow pack on my roof started sliding off yesterday. 2-3 inches of ice with about 8" of Styrofoam sounding snow glued on top. I chipped away at the overhanging glacier to keep it from hitting anyone coming in or out of the house. Scary heavy blocks that you could build an igloo with. Since I was a child, this is is the longest the snow pack has remained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor in the fact that we had 100% snow cover for half of December on top of this, we are almost wire to wire here. Never thought I would see anything like it in this region.

ThreeRedheads Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Congratulations, adelphi! When I had my first child, I'd never even changed a diaper. I learned fast. Get sleep when you can and enjoy every single moment! Bob Chill-I'm sorry to hear about your disc. Tell me you didn't aggravate/injure it by shoveling!!! Too bad they can't move the MRI up to this week. Leesburg/Don-I can't decipher that photo. Is it something bad? I'm never tired of snow. I'll take another storm next week!

snowfan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Many of us talk about wanting to move somewhere else because of the better winters, but I think it would take a few years to get used to. I love snow, but come March/April I'm ready for some nice days. Move to NNE and you're pushing that back to May/June and the cold reappears in September/October rather than November/December. Scenery would put the other areas...NNE, Mountain West, etc. over the top for me. And the endless outdoor activity opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
