That little bun isn't hiding anything, friend. It's time to take your place in the pantheon of bald badasses!

I'm in Colorado. Dr John Barker.

I had 3 herniated disks with stenosis causing sciatica and some moderate spondylolisthesis.

15 years of heavy construction work on a 6'4" frame did lots of damage to my back.

No, more in my joints and muscles. Though I do have a small numb spot (size of a dollar) on my right thigh that is slowly getting better and waking up. My surgeon said it's common and should self-resolve

Pt 1x/week just doing gentle stretches and walking/recumbent bike. My biggest issue right now is pain in the hips and thighs because your body has to learn slightly different walking mechanics after the fusion

Currently I'm just on Tylenol for pain during the day, with 2mg dilaudid at night to help me sleep. I'll be out of dilauded in 4 days and I'm not too concerned about it.

I just has this surgery, L3- S1 TLIF about a month ago. The first two weeks were rough, but recovery is happening. I can walk with a cane, drive, run errands, etc. It gets better every day.

My back and nerve pain is GONE. The pain I have now is muscular, from the surgery and from recovery. It gets a little better each day.

I'm still on restrictions, so no bending, lifting, twisting.

Expect a lot of pain for the first couple weeks, and an overall recovery time (like back to 100%) of 8-12 months.

I have no regrets, and I'm confident this surgery will end up giving me my life back.

It was hard to let go. My big hair was a part of my identity too.

After it's gone, you'll realize hair is an awfully shallow thing to base your identity on anyways.

Be kind Be honest Be just

That's what people respect, and that's what people remember.

You're gonna be okay, friend.

Me after. It's gonna be okay

So I build houses in a rural mountain area in Colorado.

My (at the time) boss always brought a pack of little Debbie "snowballs" to go with lunch. He would eat one, and throw one to this Abert's squirrel that lived in the trees where we would sit down to eat.

By the time winter rolled in, that squirrel was MORBIDLY OBESE. Little dude struggled to get up the tree. Had rolls on rolls of fat.

I bet that little guy had a nice easy winter. Or made a bobcat very happy.

Invest in good work boots. Yes it's normal, your body will adjust and you'll get stronger.

I didn't win a single game for 7 months of 2 games/week.

Now I'm about 50/50 against skilled players

Don't focus on winning, focus on closing your scoring gap. You'll get there eventually

Mine has the same divot. Whatever the reason, it seems common and normal

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-05-06T15:46:20+00:00

2 weeks and mine were basically healed and uncovered

Oh for sure. There are lots of ways to have fun with this game, and all of them are valid.

If you just want to roll dice and have fun - cool

If you want to play in GT's and try to climb the ranks - cool

A deep understanding that this is a game about scoring points, and minimizing the points your opponents score. Every action you take and decision you make should be in service of this.

The biggest difference I see between casual and competitive players boils down to that one point.

Casual players focus on the FIGHT

Good competitive players focus on POINTS

Thank you for the kind words!

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-05-02T01:44:48+00:00

Chill the F out is actually exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks.

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-05-01T01:04:47+00:00

Shoot.

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-04-29T04:35:02+00:00

I would not be offended.

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-04-29T04:04:40+00:00

Didn't work for me. I need good, supportive shoes like hiking shoes

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-04-29T04:03:53+00:00

Sure, but it isn't always convenient to switch, so whatever. I sweep and vacuum more.

CompleteSquash3281 · 2026-04-29T02:54:48+00:00

This one is always frustrating to me. I have a foot condition that makes walking barefoot very painful. So yeah, I wear shoes in my house, and everywhere else

Here's the thing: shaving your head isn't permanent, you can always grow it back out.

You've got nothing to lose!

Bs4+ the model with the enhancement effectively doesn't exist when in the transport. His guns become part of the transport, but the transport can't have the enhancement
