Ok, DO NOT install Service Pack 2 for Vista on a RAID 1 System.  You will get stuck with a blinking cursor and a corrupt raid set.

Ok Ricky "Hitman" Hatton got his ass handed to him by Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao.  The Pac Man seemed to land punches at will and Ricky forgot what he learned in training camp with Floyd Mayweather Sr.  Pacquiao just knocked the Hitman literally out cold with a left hook on the chin.

Well I certainly would have been pissed if I spent the 50 bucks to get the Pay Per View.  I'm glad HBO put it on before the rematch of Chad Dawson vs. Antonio Tarver.

The "Hitman" ought to think about giving it up after this fight cause he wasn't even close to be a competition. 

Fight Night Round 4 video game better be able to match that one punch knock when it comes out this year!

The first game of the second round of the playoffs between the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic looked like a lost cause mid way through the 3rd quarter.  I was seriously considering turning to the Red Sox game against the Yankees and not switching back over.  But I’m glad I decided to watch the rest of the game.  The Celtics made it close after getting into a 28 point deficit by the 4th quarter they were down to 3 points but couldn’t close the deal.  When Ray’s three point shot rimmed out and I had a feeling that was going to be the deciding shot in the game.  Rondo played with great heart in the second half but really where the hell was the team during the first 2 and half quarters of the game.  After playing seven games against the Bulls they shouldn’t have expected this series against the Orlando Magic to be any easier.  Even without KG and Leon Powe the Celtics proved they can still win this series but they will have to play all 4 quarters of the game with the same intensity that they played with for 1.5 quarters of this game.

Ok so I think I’m having the sciatic nerve pain in my foot and outside of my shin area on the outside of my foot.  Sucks when your right foot feels frozen and you feel it and it feels as warm as the left one.  Only one and a half more months before the appointment with the orthopedic doctor to have my hip checked out.

The Red Sox beat the Angels 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth in Game 4 of the ALDS off of Jed Lowrie's single that scores Jason Bay from second base.  This game was great I wish I went to the game but I know I couldn't have taken the back pain tonight especially in the cold. 

It has got to be hard for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim fans this year to lose to the Boston Red Sox again in Post Season play.  This was another great Post Season game in 2008 and another exciting win for the Red Sox

Wow did you see that play by Tek!  The play is going to be one of the major highlights of this post season if the Red Sox move forward in the playoffs.  Mike Scioscia the Angels Manager definitely has a set for trying the squeeze play.  Reggie Willits comes down the line as Erick Aybar misses laying down the suicide squeeze bunt and Jason Varitek runs down Willits and applies the tag and afterwards falls down to the ground and the ball flops out of his glove but the umpire calls him out because he had control of the ball before he fell down.

I had my 3rd Lumbar Spine MRI on Thursday night at the Jordan Hospital in Plymouth.  I'm hoping this MRI shows why the pain in my legs has increased so much since having the discography in August.  My pain has increased so much and the Tramadol does not seem to be working.  My sleeping schedule is all screwed up I'm staying up until 6 or 7 AM and then sleeping sometimes until 2 or 3 PM. 

Ok I heard back from Doctor Banco's office and they said that doctor reviewed my case and would like to see me.  She said they just need to get the worker's compensation insurance adjustors information.  So I gave her the information and sent an e-mail to the adjustor to make sure the information was still correct.  I get a response back and low and behold my case has been transferred to another adjustor.  Do I get notified?  Of course not that would make sense to let me know that my case which has been open now for over 15 months has someone else handling it. 

Well hopefully the new adjustor approves the consultation with Doctor Banco otherwise it will be another 3 months of being in pain waiting for a court date in front of the Industrial Accidents Board.

I'm so happy to have learned my lesson about the worker's compensation system in this state.  Everyone makes money off of you and your case while you continue to be in pain and not get better.  After I get better I want to make sure that everyone that works in this state know and understands this system and your rights.  That your really just and indentured servant and your not a human being living in pain because they are not responsible for that.

We'll I met with Dr. Murphy today.  He talked about the fusion surgery of L5-S1 and what was involved with the surgery.  He said the surgery should take 4 to 6 hours and I would be in the hospital for 3 to 5 days.  The recovery period is 6 to 12 months and the first 8 to 12 weeks are the most important.

The surgery would be removing the disc between L5-S1, taking the right wing off of the L5 vertebra, inserting two screws into S1 and into L5 then inserting a bone graft and the bone chips from the wing so that the L5, bone graft and pieces and S1 grow together over time.

He wants me to have another MRI on my lumbar spine to review if anything else has changed and if they can see why the sciatica pain in my right leg is getting worse.

I'm going to try to get an appointment with a surgeon at New England Baptists Hospital.

He said there is a possibility that in 10 to 15 years I would need surgery to fuse L4 & L5 together.

He does not do artificial disc replacements so I'm going to try to get a surgeon that does artificial disc replacement surgery and fusion and see what he thinks would be the best option.
