Physical pain endurances

Well let's see. Car wreck. Drag racing and ran into a truck and trailer loaded with lumber at about 80 per. Hurt some, with teeth knocked out.

Broke disc in spine while roofing. Had to be carried to the bathroom by friends with involuntary tears happening. Operation fixed it.

Several toothaches over the years.

Oh yeah, cut open from near belly button around to the backside-- they removed a rib to gain access to my aorta from top to bottom where it was disintegrating. Replaced it with --something. Looks like the old radiator hoses. But seems to be pumping blood. That was a laugh a minute, right there!! Just --you know--- regular shit that can happen when you get old and get some years under your belt. Except the car wreck----drag racing on a public highway is dumb. Especially when the result turns out be 2 dead, one veggie--- and me.

 

I forgot falling off a roof in Washington state and busting my upper lip open. When they stuck a needle right under my nose and into my lip to deaden the area for stitches--THAT REALLY FUCKIN'HURT!!!

 

Toss up for me.

#1. Being shot 3 times at close range as there was Ballistic Penetration through my Ultra-Light Vest from the AK....

#2. Having to get into 31 degree F. Arctic Ocean Water....won't freeze at 31 degrees F. because of salt content....and dive down over 25 feet to recover a water tight seal skin bag of supplies...doing this naked and then redressing as to do this with cloths on and not having a change of dry close to put on will kill you.

#3. Being involved in a Night Fight and being hit in the back of the neck and head by a large rock....about 12 to 14 inches in diameter...which did NOT knock me out....I had Nigh Vision on and I found this SOB and stabbed him in the Liver.

#4. Having a mechanical problem with a REBREATHER and after coming up from a depth of 115 feet with NO AIR COMING IN as the CO2 Scrubber in the rebreather failed....having to wait and do a 2 Minutes decompression stop at 15 feet....should have been longer in time but I could not hold my breath for longer than 5 minutes....and then surfacing....oddly enough the hardest thing to do when surfacing was to open my mouth and attempt to breath in.

All 4 were equally painful....but getting shot and being so far deep in country before being able to get to the extraction point as it took about 16 hours of travel with 3 bullet holes in me....well THAT WAS HELL ON EARTH.

Man, that's rough. Glad you made it.

 

Had some open eye surgery which was painful but not as painful as being in a maul while playing rugby. My left knee bent the opposite way and then was turned around. Surprisingly I only ripped my cartilage and needed an arthroscopic operation but before that I kept playing on it for a couple of months without knowing the extent of the damage. Towards the end of playing my knee was really sore, swollen, swelling wouldn't go etc. I ended up making a representative side for my state and i had to back out because of the injury. I then got it looked at and there were shards of cartilage all through my knee joint that needed to be removed.

I've also a slipped disc in my back right down low, when it swells and bulges the pain can be excruciating on my stomach, back, legs and balls.

 

It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

When we finally made it to the evac point they gave me two doses of Synth-Morph and I DIED right then and there.

They brought me back of course....but I was clinically dead for awhile.

I'm sure you were.

 

Nothing big. Bladder / kidney infections.

 

Too UnReal.

 

I am so sorry you went through all of that....

I hope you never get hurt again....

 

Dan gets them. I can say that though I have never personally experienced one having watched his numerous times... I have a good idea just how painful they are. I've had to take him to the doc to get pure oxygen with him just.... ew, just not even fun to watch.

 

Do you dive?

I am a Dive Master and I have over 100 wreck dives to my credit.

I use SCUBA with compressed air.

I have used Heliox as this is a combination of Helium and Oxygen which allows a diver to dive deep well over 200 feet down as using compressed air which is basically 20% Oxygen and 80% Nitrogen gases means according to Boil's Law.....every 33 feet down from sea level is an additional Atmosphere of Pressure or ATM.

At sea level you have 1 Atm.

At 33 feet underwater is 1 additional Atm thus you experience 2 Atm's of Pressure.

66 feet down is 3 Atm's

99 feet down is 4 Atm's.

132 feet down is 5 Atms

And at 165 Feet down is 6 Atm's of pressure.

Problem is at about 140 feet down depending upon the person you start experiencing Nitrogen Narcosis.

Even though you are always breathing a ratio of 20% Oxygen to 80% Nitrogen at all depth using compressed air....at 33 feet a single breath of air is pressurized to 2 Atm's thus evey breat has 2 times the amount of Nitrogen and Oxygen gases.

At 132 feet down you are at 5 Atm's of pressure thus every breath at 132 feet down has 5 times the amount of Nitrogen and 5 times the amount of Oxygen gases.

Because of this buildup of extra Nitrogen Gas in your Bloodstream you get DRUNK to a point you don't care if you live or die.

Or if you do not do a decompression stop at 15 feet for 3 to 5 minutes you can develop the BENDS as the Nitrogen Gas Bubbles and collects in your joints causing extreme pain and bending of the limbs...and Death if not quickly brought to a Decompression Chamber.

Breathing Heliox which is just Oxygen and Helium allows a diver to stay down longer and dive deeper.

Yeah CH is the worst, wishing you'd die type pain. I have done the kidney stones and my cluster headaches put those to shame.

 

Lolwut? Weren't you some Black Ops uber-killer a couple of days ago when some mysterious foreign spies broke through your firewall and stole your collection of dirty pics?

:rofl:

 

The firewall is of moderate design and specifically easy to penetrate by anyone of capability as when they do this the NSA TAGS THEM.

The Networked system does not have any real information or pictures of me as it is be design just a trap.

I will know be tomorrow who did it...and they may not be from this forum

Thank goodness for that. Let me know when I am cleared TooReal.

~ I chop wood, I carry water, I tend the Earth, This is my prayer. Then one day the 20 guys who were daily busting their asses carrying water up the hill from the stream had an idea. They thought...HEY!! We can build this thing I call a Water Mill which we will build next to the stream and as the water flows downhill the Water Mills square water buckets built around a round wheel will catch that water and the force and weight of the water will turn the large wheel and we will attach gears inside the mill which will run a PUMP which will pump water up to the Village and all we have to do is maintenance this Water Mill and as that s our JOB in the community we can have more free time and think of other ideas the Water Mill can be used for. So these 20 men did this and built the Water Mill and the water pumping system brought water directly into every Village home and they were hailed as heroes!! About a week later...2 others of those 20 men that built the Water Mill brought another idea to the other 18 men and said....we talked to the 20 men who bust their asses chopping down trees to build homes and all the work that goes into hand sawing planks and if we will build and maintain another water mill we can gear it to run round metal saws that will cut the trees into planks and although they will still have to cut down the trees and bring the wood to the mill....it will save them 2/3rds of the work...and again this was agreed upon. Now all 40 men had more free time on their hands and the community called them all heroes and geniuses. One day the 80 men and Women who's job it was to grow crops came to both the men who built the Mills and the men who sawed the planks and told them....if the men who build planks make us enough long planks to make irrigation channels that we can coat with resin so the water cannot leak out of them...and the men who build the Mills build us a mill that will pump large amounts of water from a creak nearby to irrigate the fields we will be able to grow a massive bounty of food and we will make sure all of you men get the best we grow. So this was built as well and between the Mills and the Wood Planking and the Irrigated fields that allowed much food to be grown...things were good. Then one day....a self professed MAN OF GOD came into this prosperous Village. He convinced the people they would all go to HELL if they did not repent and use all their raw materials of wood and planking to build a Giant Church for GOD....and to sell their food to buy Gold and Painted Glass for the windows of the church....and when the church was finally built to tear down the Mills which this Priest called MACHINES OF THE DEVIL....and so the people taken in by this charlatan and Religious Zealot....soon found they were starving, and poor and disease ridden....but the Priest said.... ....AT LEAST YOU KNOW GOD!!! Then the original men who built the Mills and the Tree Planks and the Irrigation system chopped off the Priests head and just before they did they all said....NO....NOW YOU WILL KNOW GOD....SAY HI FOR US!!!

How was that even possible, I thought he was using a phoenix shield ultra-adaptive firewall which is virtually impenetrable? I'm shocked :rofl:
