Adults will do it as well. Many snakes do it - kings, rats, racers, etc.…If they are in dry leaves it can be very audible. I’m sure many harmless snakes have had their heads blown off as a result.

No different than many other hobbies. When I raced motocross, crashing was a matter of when, not if. Luckily I got by with broken bones but no paralysis or death. Some hobbies have risks. We choose whether or not to accept those risks. I feel much safer handling snakes than I did riding dirt bikes.
Not gonna lie…
That performance by Yung Lean & Gener8ion was legit.

Basically the Madonna Sympathy Awards.

Surgery, especially back surgery, is not always a success, and in many cases the pain after the procedure is worse
I was glad to have an honest surgeon. He said, “We do neck/back surgery for arm/leg pain, not for neck/back pain. If your neck/back pain improves, consider it a bonus.”
He was right. I had an anterior cervical discectomy/fusion at C5-6-7 for C6 radiculopathy. Some issues resolved, but new symptoms I never had before the surgery arose. Now 20 years later I’m starting with C4/5 radiculopathy, which is likely related to the additional stress put on the levels adjacent to the fusion. I haven’t addressed it yet, but I wouldn’t have another fusion.
Why is Madonna wearing a big red diaper?

Rhymes with choke.

Took about 15 minutes, with 13 of that for filling out the paperwork.:lol:
Went to urgent care today - they just prescribed Cephalexin.

If you can get a needle (18 gauge works great), touch it to the base of the nail over the middle of the hematoma (blood) and slowly spin it.
From my understanding, trephination has to be done in the first 24-48 hours - after that it’s too coagulated. This wasn’t really that bad the first couple days. It ballooned up on the 3rd day.

If a venomous snake made my finger look like that, then I’d probably go to the doctor.:lol:
Wait…you’re supposed to manage your diabetes? Frick.
I guess that’s why my A1C is 12.7.
My cardiologist reluctantly prescribes some baseline meds (that I sometimes take) as he yells at me to get a primary care doctor for the past couple years.

Don’t have a primary doctor and I assume an urgent care means sitting there for a couple hours. I’m on the Northshore. Was just trying to avoid the aggravation if I got responses back like, “Yeah, mine looked like that for a week then subsided.” :lol:
If mine was hurting I probably would have done the same. I’m kind of surprised it isn’t hurting more.
At this point I’m really just concerned about infection, especially since I’m diabetic. But I really don’t feel like spending hours at urgent care.

Last Friday I slammed my finger in the tailgate. Instant subungual hematoma. Pain not too bad unless I bump it, a little swelling that was improving by Sunday. Then Monday the swelling increased a lot around the base.
Still doesn’t really hurt and no real pressure. My understanding is that after 48 hours draining it isn’t very effective because it has coagulated. My only worry is infection.
Day 1:
Day 6:
For any that have experienced this, should I just ride it out or should I see a doctor at this point?
ETA: Any yellow coloration is just because I soaked it in iodine a couple days ago.

Watched this tonight on Prime. The concept is from James F. David’s “Footprints of Thunder” book (and the rest of the Thunder Series). For years this was my favorite genre of books - mixing people with dinosaurs through time travel or cosmic events. All of the books were better than this movie.:lol:
It was entertaining because…well…dinosaurs. But I expected more from J.J. Abrams since Lost is my all time favorite show. Dialogue and situations were ridiculous. If only Hollywood would learn how to adapt books but stick to the books.

I was in the same boat when I first moved to my land. Was desperate for a wood chipper. Finally bought one from a friend, used it once, and never used it again - it just takes forever to feed it.
I started just burning the bigger stuff, and the smaller stuff I’d pile up then drop my bush hog onto it and mulch it up.
There’s a wood chipper sitting in my shed for the past few years if you want it. It probably still runs.

Felt like I was watching the dreaded old school Saints prevent defense. Only thing it prevents is winning.

It’s a species that’s really taking a hit due to habitat loss. Maybe look into snake relocation experts in your area. If they charge a hefty fee, there are probably local herpers who would relocate them for free.
