182.32 if he weighs 172,

162.26 is what he weighs if he presses 172 pounds.

[PAmedic]

great to have math majors on board

172 is my current weight.

I figure its gonna be easier to lose 10 lbs than try to bench that much.

And yes, oddly- I did have to lose the 'stache. Your collective disappointment is palpable.

no more porn stache?! man that sucks

I knew you'd be disappointed.

[Hold My Own]

I would pray for your new changes but I'm to busy waving in my own special way

I would have thought that the Civil Service 'Stache be mandatory. Then again, everything I know about law enforcement I learned from 'Reno: 911'.

Isn't Reno 911 true? I thought most of those doughnut eaters were like that.

I'll try to address you, my fans, one at a time.

1. I was surprised as anyone to discover the "no facial hair" policy. Imagine my chagrin post-Norelco as I watched my manhood go down the drain.

2. As far as the haircut- buzzers. #1 setting. Not even able to go with the Poncherello look. Again, huge disappoinment.

3. SCUZ- now that I've crossed over to the dark side, I'm forced to take part in the daily FF/EMS bashing. Have to admit it tastes great. "the hardest decision they have to make is who gets which bunk tonite". Yup- I can see you doing that

4. those requesting photos- I'll see what I can do. Don't want you guys to have to wait too long.

[PAmedic]

BTW- in all seriousness, please keep me in mind re: a minor (I hope) injury. In going over a 6' fence during PT- I landed incorrectly and likely sprained my L. knee. At least, I HOPE its just a sprain- God forbid the ACL got wrecked. I have it in a hinged brace- but admitting I'm hurt will result in me being rolled back on a medical: NOT acceptable. So I'm gonna tough it out either way.

Thanks

[scuzdriver]

Praying for the old knee bro. Just remember they pay us for what we are willing to do, not what we do at the firehouse. We must be well rested to do what we are willing to do! Sleep till we are hungry, eat till we are sleepy!

[Sly Fox]

I was just about to move this thread to the Courtyard when you stepped up with the prayer request.

Praying in Houston

[horrez]

Hope the knee is feeling better. Hang in there.

[Rocketfan]

I am gonna pray for your knee medic, no worries.....then im gonna think real hard about you trying to climb a 6' fence......

[FlameDad]

Hows the knee feeling?

[PAmedic]

ROCKET you'd have been proud. I hit that fence like a ton of bricks. Man , did that hurt.

DAD- knee is ok right this minute, but just "ok"

1. wrapped and iced
2. hinged brace most of the time
3. 2000 Ibuprofin daily

I really need about 1 week off of it altogether but THATS not happening.

Another request for prayer- this time for 2 huge exams-

1st is tomorrow approx noon- second is on Wedensday, same time.

You get ONE re-test; a second failure and you're separated. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Don't pass go, don't collect $200.

-thanks guys.

[Fumblerooskies]

My prayers are with you for your knee AND your brain.

[PAmedic]

First test SEEMINGLY went well- no results yet.

Second big one tomorow AM.

Thanks for all the prayers- definitely felt them!

Keep 'em coming.

[PAmedic]

thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys- passed all tests to date and have nearly completed week 4.

Knees are slowly getting better, still taking 2k Ibuprofin daily.

thanks again

That's great news.

Are both knees hurt? I've only been praying for one... I'll now pray for both of them.

[Sly Fox]

Hang in there, brother. It never hurts having a boy in blue on the board to keep some of the folks in line.

[grm]

Yeah man, hang with it. I'd give you one of my knees, but they removed them both three years ago.

Praying for you - God bless

[PAmedic]

HORREZ- yes. One previous tear, re-aggrevated- one new problem

both healing daily, though .

The shoulder is an old/re-new problem as well.

I'm old and deteriorating rapidly.

* In all seriousness- I can't begin to thank you guys enough for the prayers and support. This school is not easy for me but I truly appreciate all your efforts on my behalf.
