Hi guys. Here's the deal....the last time I went detecting was with S.S. Tupperware/Conrad a few months back, at which time I apparently damaged my neck again, the extent of which is still uncertain. So, I've had "a lot" of nerve issues on the right side, arm, hand, fingers, trigger thumb, trigger wrist, loss of feeling in my fingertips, etc. The good news, after a lot of down time this started to subside...bad news....as this started to subside my blood pressure raised to 190's/90's for several days, which also made me feel like crap, plus now a continuous headache on top of everything else. "I was a complete trainwreck."

However, one little blood pressure pill now has everything on the mend, steady 120's/60's again and starting feel like my old self, BUT there is still an issue with my neck, which already has plates and screws from a previous explosion. Sooooo.....just holding back and taking baby steps until the "body shop" says it's safe to drive the train at full speed again, which could be a long while yet due to the slow process of the current health insurance trainwreck. And just so you'll know, which I just discovered the hard way, Yes, your neck CAN put pressure on your carotid arteries and cause blood pressure issues. Hu...who'd of thunk?

Actually, it's only recently that I've been able to type more then a single line without my right arm and hand and fingers going numb so I think things are heading in the right direction now. I've been seeing all of your "great finds" but just wasn't willing to aggravate things to post all the, "well dones!" Hopefully, I'll be back in the water again very soon. Time will tell. In the meantime, keep swinging and keep posting! (Doc say's I'm not invencible anymore.....and to that I say to him, "get out of here!"

Well then I didn't miss any posts of yours..... I just missed you! Been through the wringer huh? At least you are on the mend now! Oh the things that happen to us when we never expect it...or to say the least, when we are out doing what we love. Really puts a damper on things. Glad you are getting better and hope that you mend well. Miss your posts bigscoop! Take care
