  • So its been a long hard summer, I miss the detailing world!

    So... I see MOL has a new look, I like the look I would assume the same great people are still here!?!?

    Lets see, I started off the spring rather sick, went to the doc a few times for a NASTY sore throat that I just couldn't kick had a couple meds still no luck. Finally it got so bad I couldn't eat/swallow anything and I went to the ER, after 8 long hours they had that same thought a bad sore throat they loaded me up with more meds, fluids and sent me on my way... the next day the ER called back and said I needed to come back right away they found something on the xray they took the day before. Turns out I had a very serious infection and ended up in the hospital, off work and couldn't do anything!

    Ok, so now I am back to normal for about a week and detail one car on the one week I finally feel good. Then I get this serious pain in my left leg, I could only walk a 100 feet or so and had to sit and had a very hard time getting up. Went to the Doc and I ended up with a herniated disk in my lower back. That laid me up the rest of the spring/summer, still had to work my full time job so I was given an injection mid summer that helped the pain but still wasn't up to 100%. Let me tell you I wish that pain on no one at any time for any reason. I am going to do my best not to get another back injury! That sucked, and still does from time to time! There is no doubt I can still feel there is a problem so I really have to take it easy.

    I only washed my truck ONE time this entire summer, it was embarrassing driving around but I couldn't, way to painful! A couple weeks ago I was finally able to wash it and just today I detailed my first vehicle since that week way back in the spring. Feels so good to get back to it, for me its stress relieving. I sure missed the extra income this summer, (all I was/am getting are bills from the doctors) plenty of people were asking for details but there was no way I could do it.

    Anyway... I hope to be back again, I am feeling much better and now I can get back to 'life'!

        The back is not a medical matter, go see a chiropractor. Yeah, Yeah, I know, they're all witch doctors. NOT. Really if you have a back problem, go see some one who specializes in that area, not an MD who has a general knowledge.

        I've been in a physical profession for over 20 years, the only reason I still move is because of good chiropractors. They will make you snap and pop, but in the end, you will walk out feeling better.

        Massage therapists are another resource well worth the money. Drugs and MD's with attitude and convention are not often the answer to what pains us.

              Well didn't go to a chiropractor but I did go to a hand full of specialist and had an MRI prior to my diagnosis anyway, right now I am feeling MUCH better!

                  +1 for going to a chiropractor. I am one.
                  I work with disc issues all the time. You may want to find one who either does Cox flexion/ distraction technique or disc decompression therapy.

                    Sorry to hear about that Brandon. Ouch! Glad you are back.
                    Give a chiropractor a try and maybe some acupuncture.

                      No acupuncture has more interest to me - I have had some others say the same thing. Thanks guys for the welcome back!
