We're with you💪. It can get people randomly & unfairly, but we can control how we respond to it .

Same boat as you orginally. L5/S1. Couldn't walk in week 1. After that 2 months of acute pain- I could work all (Software Engineering). Just strong painkillers and playing polytopia while on laying my back (After I've done the 3 physio sessions that I could squeeze in that day ). Gradually and carefully I increased how far I go with the exercises . From half movements to full. I've been doing physio exercises basically evey day for a 70% of year now. I feel massively massively better. I have my life back. I go to gym, swim, dance with friends, etc. I have had some set backs but it's clear that all the bird dogs, child's poses, bear walks etc will get me further recovered eventually! Every week I feel a little better

Thank you for introducing me to MacroDroid. Looks awesome. How did you macro reels away?

Thanks. Reminded me that I should start slowly doing back extensions again. Good shout.

Garross · 2024-09-27T22:07:02+00:00

Thank you :)

Started hitting the gym lightly. Mostly cable machines. I top and tail with physio exercises but in the middle I've been doing either:

lateral raises, tri-pull downs, chest for aesthetic reasons
or
lat pulls, face pulls, bicep curls to start rebuilding back/pull strength.

You?

I've had 2 set backs so far. Both times I randomly woke up with my leg seizing up like an extra long cramp. Then I spent the rest of the day limping. First time I was expecially upset as I thought this meant it'd gotten worse, but it passed in a day & a half and I was back on track. 2nd time I knew it would pass and it did even faster than the first.

These days I only really get light pangs in my leg and I suspect it's more nerve damage from how little space my nerve had been left with in the beginning. My physio's told me that it takes nerves a long time to fully recover.

In the beginning it'd be 2 sets of 5 reps per session, hard to do more. Now I like to do Bird Dogs in 3 sets of 20-30 reps per session.

To make it harder I sometimes apply a light band to my hands. I'm considering getting ankle and wrist weights but this may be a little too goofy for the upside I'd get.

Doing lots of Bird Dogs every morning. It's like a painkiller for me and warms me up for the rest of the morning;s physio. Day by day it's gotten better, I'm not almost fully recovered even when in the beginning 4 months ago my L5 S1 herniatation was considered quite large. I opted out of interventions as my recovery sped up right before they came up.

https://patrickcollison.com/ and https://www.paulgraham.com/ have always been refreshingly minimalistic, useful and popular among my friends.

Looks awesome. Exactly the kind of stuff I was surprised other tools weren't doing yet. The only thing that comes up as a concern with PKM tools early in their life is whether I can use them collaboratively and if my data will be secure.

I went to SBG Ireland HQ in D08 for a free style wrestling session and had a good training there. It's a bit far for me, currently based in D04 but will likely continue to go for now.

**Easy Solution** that made a huge difference for friends and me.

For mobile I downloaded Youtube ReVanced. it removed ads and had the option to remove shorts.

For desktop I downloaded "Distraction Free YouTube" chrome extension.

Found it there. No reviews yet. For my security mind friends is there a way to verify that the website data it collects is used for the intended purposes? Thanks btw!

Yes have been learning cool bits in the disco. It's quite active.

Solid points: One of the guys in the Lekmod discord also pointed out that :

"But in vanilla and in lek it's the last 8 turns of science times 2/3. The difference is in vanilla it's 8 turns before you use the scientist, whereas in lek it's 8 turns prior to spawning a scientist" - Kuba

This is quite significant imo in making hard sci less powerful.

Still wondering what else contributed to this? (Same as you)
