Just so you all know I am not wimping out on plowday because of predicted bad weather I thought I would let you all know just what kind of pain killer the doctor prescribed for me due to me crushing my back last sunday.
Brand name: Roxicet / Oxycodone 5mg& Acetaminophen 325mg.
Take 1 pill every 6 to 8 hours as needed for pain.
Plus 1000mg Bayer asprin every 8 hours to relive swelling. Along with a reduction in my daily intake of warfarin(blodd thinner) to 5mg daily(normaly 10mg) so I do not bleed to easly if I happen to cut myself while taking the asprin.

Lonny - I could give ya 10mg of morphine, that should get ya there and back! They have little effect on my back but they sure knock out a nitro headache!! When I stayed in the hospital three days with my heart my back hurt so bad from laying that I'd get up and walk the halls. The doc shot me up with morphine and vallum and I still had to get up and walk the halls to get off my back. I think next time they'll handcuff me to the bed. They got a little p'd off about having to go looking for me.

The last time I was given morphine was back in 1990. I was hooked up to a machine that would give 1cc dose every 10 minutes. From what the doctors told me I was pushing the button every 5 minutes for an hour befor they came in and increased it to 1.5 cc every 10 minutes.
All I remember was after they changed the setting it only took anlther 1/2 hour befor I was in no pain and was able to finially get some sleep, I slept for 48 hours straight. First sleep I had had in a week.

You all have a fun time at plowday and dont forget to take lots of photos to share with those of us who can't make it this year.

Just got off the phone with Travis, So far so good.
I've got 7" on the ground and he said that it just started with light flurries at his place.
Sooooo, We'll see what today and tonight brings and go from there.

 

[krandall]

I know we got socked this morning with 2-4 inches and blizzard like winds...Can't wait to get out of town.....
"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" "He** No...Plow Days not over till WE say it's over" Are you with me??

Kurt - Ya hittin the bottle this early ?

 

[digger]

Kurt,
I ain't givin up till The field gets a foot on the gorund and then it MIGHT be iffy!

Like Travis said last night, we'll put the sellers in the barn and still have a great time.

 

[kweaver]

Kurt can't come out and play right now, he's staying after school.

 

[krandall]

Kentucky and Digger....There ain't no way I'm backing out
"A Bad Day Plowing Still Beats The Best Day At Work"...
I've already kissed the missus goodbye and she won't let me take it back....She says I'm going even if it's in a Hearse....

I've got too many parts and pieces to pickup/deliver so I will make the trek.....

 

[digger]

I really hate to admit it, but I'd much rather have a BS session in the barn/field than I would plow.

 

[kweaver]

Aw you're just affraid you'll break down AGAIN and Travis will pull you off the field @ 25mph again!

Didn't Travis say something about meeting at a bar Friday night ... that might be the best thing to do anyway. Right now the forecast for Rockford is up to 10" of snow today/tonight.

 

[tschweizer]

I'm thinkin the bar Friday night could turn out to be a little fun. I got the back room reserved already. I got room if someone happens to have tooooo much fun ;-)

 

[tschweizer]

Ken/Charlie, I got a bigger 4wheeler now!!

 

[eford]

Where was the 4-wheeler last year when I smoked the field out on my case? THAT was a big cloud, friend thought it was funny, @#$%$#@!^&*%^! Cases and there mechanical fuel pumps!

 

[bbranstetter]

Just checked NOAA there calling for slight chance of rain friday, 20% and partly cloudy and 43 on saturday

 

[aaytay]

Brian-
I think the guys at NOAA are changing their tune since 24hrs ago.

I just talked to a guy who just got into town a few days ago from Alaska that's <font color="119911">VERY</font> happy to hear that!!!

 

[tschweizer]

Still not enough snow in the field to cover the bean stubbl!!! This is VERY good news. I'll post pics later.
