Breakdown of Ngannou open boxing session

Shoulder feels like shit and it is setting in that this is what I am stuck with for the forseeable future.

By around 2-3 PM pain meds kick in and make life a bit more tolerable but it is fucking rough all morning and whenever i move my right arm shit pops clicks and grinds at a level audible in the room.

Managed to get high and do a little work in my music studio yesterday. Nothing spectacular but it was nice to plug into that headspace even for a brief bit.

Writing music as a piano player without use of a right arm kind of feels like boxing with one hand tied behind my back. I'm pretty solid with baselines on my left hand and don't have problems comping chords, or things like that, but it takes away- Probably my most effective tool by not being able to use my right hand to improvise melodies. Yes, I can do that in my head... But it feels like a chore and taking the long route to Somewhere Not Too Far Away.

One more if im lucky, possibly 2.

Currently i have an "antibiotic spacer" in my arm in place of shoulder replacement, so that has to go but there are also issues with bone fractures that might require another surgery.

Goal still is to be playing piano and running by next summer. But it is gonna be a long and boring time getting there.

Don't get too caught up in the pain meds, and just try to focus on the positives.
We love you around here brother.

Even that Cajun poofter @Poirierfan lol.

If you catch a habit I will fuck you up for real...out of love of course.

That's good that you're seeing a new Doctor, why is a new one coming on board?
Is the MRI to see if it's healing or to see what the other doctor has done wrong sir?

The ear nose and throat Dr referred me to the new neurosurgeon. She thinks my jaw pain is coming from my neck as well (duh). They called me this morning to tell me I had an MRI at 6 am on Monday.

Well thank you and thanks for checking in.


How to put this....

It has been a LONG LONG time since I have had the privilege of abusing pain meds.

And i am too old to be buying street drugs.

Ive been on opiod pain meds for about 20 years, and done so without problems with the sole exception being an instince where i was robbed by someone I thought was a friend. My tolerance is so high I literally woild have to intentionally attempt to kill myself in order to reach a dose sufficient to harm me. I dont plan to do so. The meds dont get me high and havent so much as rolled my eyes back or made me sleepy in 8-10 years, at that time on a pretty heavy dose of fentanyl, methadone and dialaudid.

Only mild concern is if my daughters (they know better) or one of their friends stole a pill. One 40mg oxy I would think would pose a pretty significant risk of lethality to a teenage girl, supposing she was dumb enough to take one. So i will probably have to invest in a safe at some point soon.

I think the scenario which people get tripped up with is a short term injury or surgery giving them access to pain meds and then the pain goes away but the habit remains. Not in the cards for me. This pain is never going to not be with me in this lifetime.
 
I'm starting to hate these cross over fights. Fury is a gypsy and bare knuckle means a lot. Why not take this BKFC ? Would of been a win win, a true spectacle. Also with that rule set, Francis becomes more competitive....by a lot.
 
And really what sounds more fun ? Leveling the playing field for athletes in two different sports or pretending to care about a plodding stiff who will easily get picked apart ?

Still, keep everyone in mind sir ;)
 
Would love to see a KO win for Francis,
But judging by that work out, he's gonna be hitting nothing but air....

And to be fair, that's what to be expected from someone competing in pro boxing for the first time in his life going up against a heavyweight champ, as athletic a freak as he may be...
Hope he pulls it off, but i see this lasting about as long as Fury wishes

Have you looked into upper cervical chiropractic? From what I know, if the atlas is misaligned it will cause jaw problems. Once the atlas is put into place, the jaw will follow. The muscles in the jaw need a few days to adjust and relax into the correct position and then the pain should melt away.

Neurosurgeon? That sounds expensive and potentially unnecessary.

This open workout is all for show. They prop Mike tyson out there and have him demonstrate a couple combos. Then ngannou tries out the combo as if he just learned something.

I expect to see a good performance from Ngannou. If he gets Fury in the corner or against the ropes it won't be good for Fury.

Couldn't disagree more man.
I expect as good of a performance from Francis as Fury allows...

The man faced Wilder who imo, surpasses Francis with ease in terms of knockout power, and judging by this workout has about 10x the handspeed
