Can't. I have been told that I am already too sweet a person................................................................

Bee happy they aren't Hornets.
I really dislike getting rid of Hornet nests.

I also really dislike Yellowjackets. They are very aggressive.

Are the bees aggressive? If they are honey bees it is possible for a beekeeper to rehome them.

Honey bee's ive been around do not mess with me.
They only attack in self defense.
I've worked around them without problems.
Now you go poking the nest and you well be considered an aggressor. They will defend it.

Called and made an appointment in June to get some second opinions on my back issues from another spine practice. Not looking forward to an answer that may be surgery but I also can't continue on this path of pain and not being able to conduct daily life.

Bilateral nerve shot was done on 7th of May (had one on the right side previously back in Feb and before that last year as well) and while it helped the left side, the right side leg pain still makes it pretty much unbearable to walk much (leaning on a cart at a store helps make it possible to grocery shop on a good day) or stand for any period of time. Similar to what it was in March after my Feb shot.

Called the "shot" doctor back a couple of days ago and got a voicemail back from them today at 4pm offering to do another shot on right side. I'll call them back tomorrow to see when I can get in and I may take them up on it to see if it helps as a stop gap, but not holding out much hope that doing more of what didn't work will work this time. Seems even though this current Dr is part of a spine practice (different than the one I'm going to in June), he has one trick. I had hopes when I got referred into this practice that there would be a more holistic approach. I've been the one to push to get MRI's myself and haven't gotten much of what I'd consider an assessment out of this place.

I've done some PT last few years as well. Called them back as well and have a PT eval in early June as well.

My mom let herself get immobile and during that or due to that anxiety, etc set in and took her down. I'm not going to let that happen if I can help it.

Just needed to vent a bit, but I'm ready (I think) to press on...

Several years back my wife was having back problems. She ended up having surgery, what they found wasn't what they were expecting. She had a huge cyst pressing against the spine nerves. Once they removed that she had no issues. The place she went is called The Spine Group in Carmel.

I was visiting my brother earlier this month, earlier this year he had two titanium rods put into his back, due to cancer eating one of his disks. It did wonders for him, so has the cancer treatment honestly. We were talking and back in February he wasn't walking. By May he was walking and took me on a tour of the USS Nimitz. That was a ton of walking. That tour showed me just how out of shape I am in.

Late morning fellas

 

[bcannon]

Welp. There goes my hk sp5 money.

They have all moved into an old roof vent from a previous flat roof so sawzall time…

I know a bug bomb trick that would work wonders.. give me a call and I'll be glad to tell you. A call to a exterminator might work also..

Gasoline and a match?

 

[bcannon]

That WOULD work but no. Find some bug bomb with a nozzle, a handful of long drinking straws, superglue, and some drywall mud. Superglue a long straw on the nozzle of bug bomb. Drill 3-4 1/4" holes in the ceiling below where the bees are. Insert straw into hole. Setoff the bomb. Repeat in other 2-3 holes. Quickly mud the 1/4" holes shut. Take family and pets to a B&B for the night.

Or just call a exterminator..

Definitely seen that where they swarm on their way to a new location, etc.

We had that happen at our house in Greenfield, they swarmed onto one of our little trees in the front yard, had a beekeeper come collect them.

 

[WebSnyper]

Good to hear the success stories related to back treatments/surgeries. New appt is set with the new spine group, and another PT eval set and some other stuff in the works. In the meantime will just have to bear through it until I get some additional treatment plan in the works.

Thanks guys

I discussed this with two beekeepers - both recommended eradication, at this point, since they have now taken home in between the old roof joists and wherever else they are.

This is the group that I am working with so we did effort to preserve them.

Extraction/eradication starts tomorrow...

I hate when the American Flag is not taken care of. I always keep a spare flag to replace the flag that I fly when worn.
