This is what you get when you push the envelope in wet humid conditions. Mr foamy stump paid me a visit on Monday, I tried my best to open up the stump add some sulfur powder and keep the stump aired out with the use of a fan but to no avail. It was apparent the lower bulb portion of the stump was going to rot off due to the excessive moisture. Friday I opted to cut off the whole lower effected stump as it was only two weeks till weigh-off not worth the risk of losing the whole main. I cut off stump with fillet knife, added sulfur powder and a fan underneath, so far it is dry and no more weeping going on. To make matters worse I threw my back out Tuesday after discovering the stump issue, I've had a huge free floating disc fragment at the L4 L5 juncture in my lower back that I have been able to keep in check over the years with exercise and stretching. It seems to have move to a very unfavorable position Tuesday night while I was sleeping causing extreme pain down the back and front part of my left leg with loss of about half my motor function of the quads as well. MRI on Friday, results pending this Monday. I hope the fix is not as radical as the stump issue....lol.
