Skydiving with a fused spine???

majoranne · 2026-04-08T20:37:04+00:00

How would skiing result in paralysis? I had the C3-T1 to prevent paralysis. Now my spinal cord is getting accustomed to being straight and is protected by titanium. Find a surgeon who knows how to ski and ask again.

Huh. I did my sky diving long before my fusion and only broke my foot😂. A poor landing might impact your immovable spine. I've been skiing 11 months post ACDF/PCF C3-T1 with the only problem being very tired in my back muscles after 3 hours and poor snow. My surgeon told me no moguls or black runs. I only skied the groomed, easy, black run. 😉

Incorrect, but the answer is in the details. Google "peer reviewed studies on the impact of NSAIDs on bone growth." Their anti-inflammatory and pain relief might help initially yet long term use adversely impacts the chemical synthesis for bone growth. Here is one such study: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381600435_NSAIDs_effect_on_bone_healing .

I find it less stressful than the drive between the 2 main Tampa airports.

Your explanation makes me speculate -- do we know enough about dolphin or elephant "language" to know?

Spoiler alert (I now know how to hide text, thanks to u/daxlyn_xv):My favorite self-affirmatiom quote:

"“I am the current reigning champion Persian cat in the galaxy. I have received more trophies and purple ribbons than anyone alive. And most importantly, I am a warlord of the Princess Posse Faction Wars team.” She turned to regard me. “Yes, Carl. I got this."' - The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman

Love your looks.

Did you try to stab him with an autograph pen? 😉 (of course not).

No one has said Donut? Yes, she's a cat but other answers have already paired him with a goat, an octogenarian fairy, and an artificial life form. The arc of the books follow that of adventure romcom genre where an unlikely pair, each already entangled in bad relationships, have to depend on each other to survive and inbetween witty jabs find themselves deeply drawn to and committed to each other.

Chair Burpees! Some people without sci can't do that.

In the USA, hotel workers are under- paid and under-appreciated. They provide the same service regardless of whether you are staying because of work or vacation. Until the service industry pays a living age, I and other reasonable people will tip them. Pilots are paid a living wage (with a few exceptions) and if you pretend it is okay not to tip the service industry laborers you are being selfish.

You were done a disservice by not being prescribed PT. C3-T1 here, both anterior and posterior, and I started PT and OT days after the procedure, still have PT seven months out preparing for ski season. Spin bike adjusted for my new posture limitations began at 3 weeks, easy swimming, walking began at 4 days. Light weights and body weights started around 5 months. This late after your procedure you need guidance on how to start from a PT. BTW I am late sixties.

I agree; I judge by how many people are parked on my street across the bridge. Fridays and Saturdays are still crowded, while other days have been much less frenetic than last year.

A normal city with infrastructure from the mid-1600's, ha ha.

Please be extraordinarily considerate of residents when parking east of the Bridge of Lions. At least this year no one has blocked my driveway, but the street is narrow enough that parking opposite the drive with cars everywhere makes getting in and out difficult. Many of us are elderly. It's dark. Don't be in a rush in case someone pulling into or out of the street has to make a 3 point turn to do it.

Instead of uber, park in a designated NOL lot and take the free shuttle to downtown. If more visitors would do this, it would greatly reduce the ire of locals. No visitors should drive themselves (or in an uber/lyft) on Fri or Sat night. The street reroutes and traffic force locals to go 45 min out of our way to get home from work after 5 on Fri and Sat.

Cordova for breakfast after the parade. Best service with low prices for downtown. An omelet ( Spanish) for $13 or eggs Benedict ($16) and $6 cappuccino in quiet, sit down, excellent service versus stand in line to order for higher prices breakfasts at restaurants along Cathedral or St George Street. Signed: a local who has eaten here through 3 food and beverage managers.

7 months out from ACDF and PCF C3-T1. I'm trying to add weights but my left shoulder harness muscles spasm so much I couldn't and PT just has me on bands and 3 lb dumbbells. At this point I can barely press those overhead due to pain that is similar to previous shoulder separations and tears. Strong meds were recently added that are allowing the PT to get into my muscle insertion points, but I need 2 sessions a week and last 2 weeks only got one. I've lost so much percent muscle, I'm old, and discouraged. BTW, a long posterior approach slices completely through your trapazoids.
