Harvest is done but for one very Sativa plant that needs weeks more time.
Arggggggggg my poor back.
Looks to be a good harvest ! Always happy when the OD plants are finished and the worries about what could happen are over

Hey that's awesome how much progress you have made from being bed ridden and pretty much fucked!
No problem, I was just sharing what my wife's experience was. For her it came down to the dosage before she saw any relief and even then it didn't fully treat the problem. I offered the information in case you decided to talk to your doctor (the only person you should base a prescription change on) about changing your dosage.
I didn't have the experience you did but I too was given a dosage of Gabapentin similar to yours as a non narcotic alternative to treat my back pain which is caused by spinal stenosis. With spinal stenosis changes in the spine from arthritis or degenerative disk disease put's pressure on the nerves running up the spinal column causing the pain. The doctor told me Gabapentin was for treating nerve pain. For all the good it did me I might as well have been taking 900mg of a placebo. Which is to say it did me no good what so ever. Of course RLS is a whole different issue then spinal stenosis and since it did my wife some limited good I just figured I should mention it.
There's a good chance that cutting the leg or feet off wouldn't do the trick because the problem usually starts in the lower back and then works it's way down the legs. When it's happening it feels like it's in our legs because that's the signal the brain is getting. Due to the phenomnon known as phantom limb where people feel like they still have a limb that has been amputated, there is a very real possibility the pain would continue since the nerve causing the pain is still in place and active. Perhaps a better plan would be to go in surgically and remove or in some other way deactivate the sciatic nerve. Unfortunately since I'm not a doctor I have no idea what problems might be created by doing that. I imagine since it's not a practice I've ever heard of actually being done, the side effects of doing it wouldn't be good.
Okay it sounds like your walks even broken up into two parts is doing you more good then you made it seem like a couple of months ago. It's not uncommon to hit what they call a plateau ass you get closer to your target weight. Meaning you are doing what you did when the weight was coming off but now the weight doesn't seem to be coming off or it is but more slowly. There are a number of simple things you can do to help. Your diet dtill has a lot of room for improvement but you enjoy the foods you enjoy too much which makes that difficult. A real simple thing you can try while walking, that helped me when I was able to walk 5 miles daily, is while you are walking try sucking your gut in as much as you can while walking. At first you'll probably only be able to do it for short periods of time but once you recover just do it again for as long as you can. If you do it regularly you should start to find that the length of time you can do it will increase. Basically you are strengthening your core by doing this and it should help get the weight lodd going again, at the very least it should help to shrink your wasteline even if you don't notice much additional weight loss. Another thing you could do is try mixing your walking with jogging. You know, walk a bit, then speed up to a jog for as long as you can and then slow back down to a walk when you feel you can't jog anymore. Still another thing you can try is carrying two small hand weights whn you walk, one in each hand. The more you can cope with the better the results but I would say you probably wouldn't want to go any higher then 5lbs. per hand. Then while you're walking get your arms into a good swinging motion with your arm slightly bent at the elbows. Doing that will create more of an upper body workout and will increase the number of calories you are burning. It should also build up the muscle tone in your arms and chest more then just walking alone.Did my 3 mi twice. 6 miles all together. I've been doing that like a year now. I lost 60 lb I just have a little belly a good 50 pounds I still have to get rid of. Having ravioli for dinner. Laying on the sofa and watching the news feeling good. Hope your guys are all right

Quite perceptive, @Yarddog -- As I enter the Springtime of my senility, I like to quote my Darling Witch as she often refers to me:
"When he has a choice between two evils, he will always pick the one he hasn't tried before."
My bucket list is pretty much crossed off.
Been all over the world, piloted a Piper Cub to a 727 jet, barfed in both the Atlantic and Pacific. I've been shot, stabbed, blown up, run over, poisoned, and insulted. I learned Mandarin, Southrin, and British. Got in a knife fight with a wild boar. <-- Magazine article made the cover. Wrote three published novels and a genealogy.
Went from 240lbs with less than 7% body fat to 198lbs of stuck-together pieces (I keep hearing: "He was big and bent and gray and old, and I looked at him and my blood run cold...")
Anyway, what I am trying to say is: This is IT for you. Go play. All fucking day. When the day is over and the sun sets, you had better have had all the fun and excitement you've ever dreamed of.
