Paralyzed is exactly the word! But even when you try NOT to move and hold completely still, the nerves are still kicking your ash. I couldn't believe it. It was July too, July 4 to be exact and we were going camping. We had set the tent up and the wife was putting the baby to sleep in it while I was going to get our 3 year old out of the truck (who was already asleep) and take him to the tent. I got him out, closed the truck door, took about 3 steps and felt it starting to give out - and fast. So to avoid going completely gimp and falling over with my son in my arms, I went down to my knees and told him to wake up and walk the rest of the way to the tent. By now, the pain had come in full force and I was on all 4's trembling. Like I said, it was July 4, ticks, mosquitos, gnats - bugs of all kinds biting me with my hands and knees in the grass/weeds, and there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn't stand up and couldn't lift a hand to swat anything away because I would fall flat on my face and be worse off than ever. So at this point, as bad as I was being consumed alive by bugs, it was the least of my concerns ironically - if you can imagine that. I was pretty bad off. The camping trip was canceled of course, and the wife, my mom, and dad, had to load me up on the tailgate of my truck like a fat hog going to market and drive me to the house to overdose on pain meds and TRY to lay down. That was a hell of a night, let me tell you. And all because I just HAD to split a 5" elm log the hard way. I said I'd never do it again...but I have
Only now I am a lot smarter and kirf the hell out of them with a chainsaw first.
The shipping would honestly be quite a bit on it. I'd say around $50 I guess. But from the looks of your other thread and Mullet's generosity I don't think you'd need it now, would you? Like I said, you're welcome to it anytime though.
