bubbas4570 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Sounds like cancer took her. Apparently she had stage 4 of some type..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I am also seeing that with my fraternal brother's. One died when his first pension check was in transit. We are not known for collecting many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd retire and do nothing because they didn't know what todo, they had pissed their life away with nothing to show for it but a pay check a nice truck and maybe a nice house 6 months boom dead.

unforgiven Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 You have people like that in all facets of work, all work no vacation. We have always gone somewhere at least once a year for decompression. Wife's job as a nurse was very stressful. Some guys don't have a life. Divorce, death of a loved one, kids grown moved out, no kids, no family as they have preceded them in death. So all they have is work,. With us it's more the exposer to silica, asbestos, lead from when copper and galvanize used to have the seams soldered, fireproofing in ceiling's, God knows what was in the labs that we demoed. Welding on ferrous metals was worse than non-ferrous. Parkinson's would rear it's ugly head 10/20 years later. It's the price we pay to help build America. Now in the end of my career as I do some introspection I would do it all over again. Probably been an Ironworker they have a better benefit plan.

unforgiven Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 As a side note went to the podiatrist heel was killing me. He cut it open went in about 1/2" and pulled out a foreign body that is going to be sent out for biopsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your heel feel better with it gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Whatever it was, is no longer hitting the bone. I feel the wound when I step, but not the stabbing pain I had before. Going to see how I do at work tomorrow. Thanks for your concern my brothers. I also hope it's a nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A thorn that hit my heel bone with each step" describes it perfectly. When they opened my heel up to grind it down, Doc said my Achilles looked like spaghetti from the lacerations from the bone spur. Four months on crutches. Glad your out of pain Bro. Might just be a chunk of broke off bone, they do that at times. They biopsied my bone spur just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 That all sounds horrible. I was battling planter factious this past year wake up some mornings I'd have to crawl to the bath tub to soak them in hot water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks brother Sisco, plant I'm working is large so a lot of walking. I have no idea what it is or how it got so deep into my heel. Neal I had that planter factious also it is very painful also. Sole of the foot hurts like hell. Was told it was in part from walking barefoot. Had carbon fiber insoles made from the Podiatrist and that solved the problem. Ladder work doesn't help things either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it deffinetly gets worse in the summer, I had never had it like last winter tho, think my work boots were aggravating it tenfold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Found that Timberland has the most comfortable insoles I have ever found. They can be brought separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yup, I had to deal with the plantar faciaitus too. Podiatrist sent me to a guy who does custom insoles and the doc told me they would cost $250-$300. Went to se the guy the next week (he's only in town one day a week) and he told me I had 10 other people ahead of me. I told him I would come back later and went to Walgreens and bought some Dr Scholls arch supports. Problem cleared up in about a week!
