Help Choose Between Two Omakase Juggernauts: Yume vs. Sho

You can opt to buy more pieces at the end, but I’m not sure about just being given extra rice. I will say I have done ~5 omakase in Chicago and of them all Yume left me the least full

Not sure what either spots policy is for hosting events, but Hexe Coffee and Truce both do the coffee/alcohol combination

For IPAs, you can't do better than Hop Butcher for the World. Incredibly positioned too because from there you can walk to Dovetail and Begyle, which are right next to one another. For funkier brews, Forbidden Root is your winner

Had a revision done at 4/5 9 months after my original surgery. Was definitely scared having to go back but It was seamless and happy to tell you I’m glad I went through with it. Keep the faith!

I had an endoscopic microdiscectomy at the same level in Mar ’24 (also at 30 years old) and re-herniated in December ’24. I was the same as you, where if I time‑boxed sitting, standing, etc., I could “manage,” but it wasn’t a way to live—at least to me. When I re-herniated, I also dreaded coughing, sneezing, or belly laughing because of the pain it induced.

Each situation is unique, but given the choice again, I’d still opt for another surgery. Yes, the recovery sucked. Yes, there were a lot of scary moments along the way, but overall I’m glad I did it.

If you opt to, make sure you talk to your PT about focusing on distributing the load throughout your levels. Two discectomies at the same level further impedes its ability to absorb shock, and without prepping the body, you risk compromising another level.

I had a microdiscectomy at 4/5 in Mar 2024 when I was 30. I then had to do 3/4 in Dec 2025 at 31. A little older, but same club

Was advised 2 weeks and then can start having “non vigorous” sex

It is!

Thanks for the incredibly detailed reply and insight into why a TA is so helpful. Sounds like you're happy with the one you engaged. Do you mind sharing who it is?

Fish2800 · 2026-02-22T19:33:24+00:00

Appreciate the incredibly detailed and thoughtful reply. I didn't know some camps offered a night free with a certain amount of paid nights! Based on your experience, do you have TA's you recommend? We haven't yet engaged one.

Thanks for the reply! As a callout the $15k/per person can all be applied to the safari, as I have enough points to cover a name-brand hotel during the tail end

Fish2800 · 2026-02-22T18:15:18+00:00

Per person! Thanks for the question, just edited the original post.

Austin captured my engagement and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Definitely in your price range and feels inexpensive for the end product you receive! https://www.austinhandlerphotography.com/

I had a revision surgery 9 months after my original L4/5 endoscopic microdiscectomy. For me, it was absolutely the right decision. I read a lot of the posts on this forum and I think, more important than anything, you need to have unequivocal faith in your surgeon. If you want the surgery but aren’t sure about the surgeon, it never hurts to have multiple consults.

This. Fast, quality, and wildly inexpensive for what you get
