   As of Yesterday, even so was the worst day at the trucking company for myself.
Having some medical procedures done over the next WEEKS, perhaps will finally get the right S I joint Fusion I could not get at 63 as Insurer called it everything but acceptable to NOT pay for that.

So far have a MRI of that SI Joint Tuesday, doc visit to discuss as to level of Arthritis and if even viable to fuse.  Friday a Steroid injection, AGAIN based on Tuesday MRI.  Week from Monday get Left Elbow Cubital Tunnel surgery.  Ring and Little fingers of BOTH hands go to sleep or lose function, or itch incessantly due to those Ulna Nerves being tortured.  Do one, get past recovery of three to five weeks, do the other.  Between which get Steroid injections BOTH Shoulders to calm their sorry status down.   IF, BIG IF the MRI is positive result, will be scheduling the Rt SI Joint fusion event some time directly after, meanwhile I am enduring six visits of two days per week PT on that Torn Joint and is noted by the Techs what they cannot do is aid in any way that torn joint.

So back to the beginning of this, went to work Friday Morning, up earlier than usual where could not sleep past 3:30, at the yard 5, at the clay pile 6 and loaded on MO28 out of Rosebud headed to US50 at 6:30.
Downhill Grade, letting truck run up some speed, see two cars and behind them a late bloomer from our yard to load same.  Grab Mic to let know as to pit status and note is a Mini Pickup alongside MY truck, about to Head-on the line of traffic coming in a NO PASSING Zone,  Instinct on the brakes, first car arrives dives to ditch, second car in panic stop almost onto what little shoulder there is, Pickup catches L F corner of MY truck yet manages to stay straight and driving as swerved into the lane.  He gets to a cut out point to get off hwy and so too I.  Bumper is pulled forward, check hood and tire/wheel, no real damage to the last two, get his Info on photo and send to office on Iphone message.  Bad JUJU as he is From AL, License is AL on truck and his Dr Lic, the Insurer is in AL, they are Latino, license had FN on a shield Top Center of license, told by LEO here, means as suspected, Foreign National, NON Citizen, Migrant.

Finished my runs for the day, wrote up a account of the event, called it Final Day and came home to clean up for PT at 4 Fr afternoon.

	Well, enjoy your 'NEW' Retirement. Have fun and relax. As to all that crap of ANYONE driving who is under the age of 55.......They have NO IDEA what they are doing anymore. Illegals get handed a drivers license, we (mostly) buy them a vehicle and away they go. Go to Mexico and tell them that you need something to eat.....Yeah,,,,,,,,right!!

	MRI results were better than expected, arthritis is still present in back lower four discs, bulges still there yet appear unaffected by time, was shown the nerve channel cleanout points the Back Doc performed on me in 2017 and still reasonably clean. SI joint has degraded considerably where this doc is back into his previous findings reports on me, going to take credit for a Steroid Injection from 2018 as Number one, the one on Friday to be Number two then will only need a third to check box the Insurers Approval form to continue into Fusing the joint. With the Cubital Tunnel work scheduled for the first arm Monday 7/24, that one should complete mid August, PT sessions to validate functional then on to other arm, possibly Late September early October get the fusion completed. Did Say will slow me down some as will not pivot at all at that point from then on, need to regain the stretch lengths of Flexor Muscle Groups and Hamstring Tendons. Such is the fun of beating ones self as a youth.
