Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@Üter Have you ever ordered from Corals anonymous?
no, but many times I almost did. they just suddenly sold what I had wanted. I'm waiting till they get a nice tube nem in.
 
It was not too bad but then I needed to spend some time brushing my horses. They are shedding really bad right now and needed to be brushed and my heart needed to spend some time with them. I am sitting with an ice pack on it right now in hopes I will be able to move tomorrow and I'm getting ready to take some muscle relaxers.
I hate to say it but the muscle relaxer will not help. might make it worse. if your disc is herniated, pain meds are better. the muscle relaxers will make you sleep better, but if you sleep on your wrong side or awkward etc...it may amplify the bulge. see if they can prescribe something stronger than otc.

It seems to help a little bit with the sharp muscle spasms that go down the front of my leg I didn't know it could make the bulge worse. I will not take them anymore. Its flexaril which I think is a muscle relaxer right?
 
You need one Amanda, the horse pedicure can wait!
They are already two weeks past due because the weather refused to be agreeable the last two times we had an appointment.
 
Do it!!!!
It’s in the cart but because I have a couple other fish I’m going to wait until I get back from vacation primarily because I’m getting a CBB and I want to be here to make sure it’s eating.

That is an acceptable reason I guess.

sounds like it. they told me to do all these stretches. didn't help me though. lidocaine shot really helps for those first few days till that steroid injection kicks in like 7 days after. never tried the stretch rack. treading water helps decompress if you have pool access. I try to sleep on my back with a pillow under my knees as long as possible. if you sleep on your side, pillow between the knees. these are all the things the doctors have told me.

It hurts a lot to try to sleep on my back even with pillows. I sleep on my side with a pillow sometimes the left side sometimes the right which ever side hurts less to lay on.

That’s exactly what I’ve told my patients for over 3 decades.

you can afford a vacation after spending all this money this tank?

Hey @kingranch2003 , the Flathead Dendros are playing at our Cavelli Center the last weekend of June if you want to make a road trip. The GSP and the Invasives are opening for them. Let me know and I’ll get you tickets. Bring bail money.
 
Oh and I don't have access to a pool and before I had surgery on the other side the steroid shots never helped me but maybe this time will be different.
they might not have reached deep enough to the nerve.

If I remember right it was 4 epidural steroid shots I had to do before insurance would agree to pay for the surgery. They also made me try physical therapy but it was making it worse so the therapist told them he couldn't help.
 
WOW. you've been telling your parents this for 30 years?
I corrected it, it’s been a looooong week and, I’ve never mentioned this but I’ve gone through life on a public education and Kermit thought it wasn’t easy being green? What a joke.
