What are you smoking?

[Puff Daddy]

PuffDaddy - keep that shoulder moving as the doc recommends.

Oh yeah, been doing that. As of yesterday morning I decided to hell with the painkillers, they're more trouble than they're worth and I'm rollin down the constant pain highway. It's been interesting, you build a threshold for the pain and it becomes simply a part of you - not frustrating like when unexpected pain surfaces in spite of taking the meds. Because of it I've been actually doing a bit more (in terms of reps and duration) of the exercises because it seems to dull the ache a bit, and the shoulder is really loosening up nicely. Much better I think than if I were medicating and babying it and worrying about every ache and pain that shouldn't be there. Also there is an ice machine that is keeping the swelling down, it's a shroud that wraps around the shoulder and an attached pump keeps ice water circulating through the shroud. Works wonders. Screw Vicodin, gimme some ice! (and a wee dram of scotch might help, eh? Gonna have to ask the doc if I can )

And of corse the smoking helps my spirit immeasurably Several bowls of McClellands St James Woods today in various fine briars 8)

Earlier today, on the screened in porch while the rain poured down, some McClelland S100 Red Cake (thanks SS) in a Alpha Kappa Prince. It went real well with a Maigret by Georges Simenon.

Puff Daddy keep up the good work. I can attest that a wee dram of the Craethur will beat Vicodin all to pieces. :drunken:

HOTW in a Dunhill grp 4 Amber Root Billiard. I'm really liking this tobacco. Tried it once before but found it too strong. This time it's aged about five years. Have some SG Best Brown Flake when this is gone.

Just finishing up a bowl of Dunhill Nightcap bulk in an Alan Stevenson billiard. Damn, this is one fine tobacco. I hate the fact that it's no longer available.
