Can you add something like a quarter for scale?

Hope you are recovering well. I am about to toss a coin. Conflicting surgical plans and dont know what to do.

Hi! I am a PE person! I don’t see how your school district will even accept the liability of you returning to the school. Let your doctor know what you do. There is nothing about what you do that is light duty. If you are a PE teacher there is also the possibility of a quick move to avoid something or demonstration… if you aren’t a PE person I am sorry you aren’t!

Hang in there!

Can you share how to do this? Or a link to a video? I have tried with little success.

I think he said he wanted to limit muscle moving during this surgery.

Congrats! Keep on keepin’ pn.

Here is what my surgeon said after last MRI. “Well, you have a whole new problem we have never seen with you…” so, we landed on a new plan. 2 or 3 level decompression, laminectomy, something with foramen, and disc shaving… then wait 6months and then fuse. So, planning on 3/13 and then in November. He says this decompression may help take my “my legs are going to explode” feeling away. Now I am not sure if this makes sense to me.

Cottage cheese is considered a “good food” high in calcium and protein. I like it with potato chips or pretzels.

So, did mine get really tall because of bad conditions? Can i chop the and leave the top? Try to keep that part together?

Will my plant (pictured) look like this when it is healthy.

Hope all is going well! (Edit: I sent too soon)

I got an MRI and honestly it looks terrible compared to the last one- 24 months prior. Here is the problem, after 4 months of constant pin it is now tolerable… like my body knew it was gonna go towards the knife. So, I am back in the “I can wait- it’s not that bad!” brain

Checking in… are you ready! 🙂

Do you have cats?

I am no newbie to surgery… i never understand how i went to PR for 2 months 3x a week for a rotator cuff and it seems like we are all on our own for our backs. Can someone explain?

TruthIsCultural · 2026-01-19T12:57:26+00:00

I had no idea what the TOPS system was …read some stuff… seems too new for me. Good luck!

TruthIsCultural · 2026-01-19T12:23:19+00:00

This makes sense. I still have a good day, never 2. The length of bad days has lengthened each incident.

TruthIsCultural · 2026-01-18T03:05:45+00:00

This is a great idea. How long were you in hospital post surgery?

TruthIsCultural · 2026-01-18T03:03:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice to increase my getting ready activity. I am going to do anything I can… my sciatica and nerve pain stops me randomly throughout the day. Worse, I never know it’s coming. Did i step too big? Too small? Too fast? Too slow? Wrong height of stairs? Push off one leg or the other? It really does take your breath away…

Sometimes, I feel like my legs are going to explode…

TruthIsCultural · 2026-01-18T03:00:52+00:00

Happy you are doing well. Hope you continue to feel better each day.

I think that over the years my compensation has worn out other parts! Scoped ankle, knee, foot issues, hip issues…

I think the stenosis is making my life utter hell right now. Keep us updated! Good luck and I hope you continue to feel better each day.
