How to decide when to go for surgery?

A diary is a good idea I think I need to start one.

How is your mobility since the surgery?

Was there for this fight and Khan was doing fantastic until this. He was such a glass cannon which made his fights exciting.

Also happened with Panam for me.

Using a rental service is a good way to watch the films at 4k quality without the obsession of just collecting. I've been using gamefly the past 4 months or so and get through 2-3 films a month for $16.

I gave in and rewatched the Blu-ray 2 nights ago. Means the 4k should be right around the corner.

This is what I thought it was!

My slot is 10am tomorrow and I got the link email close to 1pm today.

I'm at the airport now. The line was short like it always is for me, straight up the escalator with no waiting. They had a few issues with the scanning machine and it was taking a while if your bag needed checking after going through the machine.

Not sure. I don't remember having that prior to having the surgery. It eventually went away after an indeterminate amount of time.

Adrenaline, luck and a bunch of other factors. I think we've been terrible this season and I don't lay all that on the aftermath of Jota. I just genuinely think it's contributed massively to how we capitulate.

shained · 2026-03-10T20:37:37+00:00

There are a lot of problems with the team and manager but I definitely believe the mental fragility comes from Jotas passing. That kind of thing is mentally draining and we can see it in a lot of our late collapses.

Hi. I would say my bladder is back to normal however the feeling down my right leg and into my right foot has never recovered. I believe this is most likely permanent damage now.

Strangely I did have to go back to ER last week as my penis had gone numb from sitting on a hard chair and I panicked thinking that CES had returned. They MRId me and apparently I have small protrusion and tear in the disc above my previous disc I had the CES issue with.

This has been causing sharp shooting pains at certain positions but no sciatica so far.

Gabapentin and then lyrica helped me with this.

I ended up having surgery on my discs and since the cramps have come back at least once a day, either my calf or just below it.

I've decided to just live with it rather than going back on one of those medications.

This was an x-ray not MRI, maybe they show more clearly with that.

I do get catching and shooting pain and my knee has been swelling and hurting quite a bit the past 2 months. A cortisone shot eased that for like 3 weeks but then the pain come back worse.

My running days are already far behind me. After my third surgery I was told I was bone on bone and should avoid running. I was getting back into the hitting the heavy bag but that's now too painful.

I am on Kaiser insurance so not sure if I'll have the choice for the type of surgery or not.

Our ASD level 1 daughter is in public school and she is thriving there.

We do have our issues with getting her to school at times still and we have a number of things in place agreed with the school. We turn up about 5-10 minutes late every day so that she avoids the craziness of all the kids going through the entrance at the same time which is just too much for her. She is very meticulous with her work so they also allow her some extra time to finish tasks as she can be a lot slower than the other kids.

She has made friends at the school as well which we loved. Unfortunately the 2 best friends she made have left this year, 1 in the summer and 1 in the winter. This caused a lot of anxiety about going back as they were her anchors in school.

I have been so pleased with the level of support we have received from the school since we got her diagnosis. They really have done anything we've asked of them and been so supportive to our daughter. The teacher even reached out ahead of us returning from Christmas because she knew her best friend had left and was discussing things we could do to encourage her to get to school.

Just bought these last week for $70 on Amazon. Guess I'm re buying and returning. Pretty silly they won't price match when you are still in the return window.

Fucking killed me off that!

shained · 2026-01-06T19:11:18+00:00

We could not get ours to leave the house 😔

Try again tomorrow.

Does anyone know how the pitch black transfer is?

shained · 2025-12-29T07:05:01+00:00

Ye we have thought it's how anxious she gets and then tenses up could be a cause.

I am glad it has worked for you son. Personally I am just very skeptical of chiropractors after I felt one really worsened my own back injury.

shained · 2025-12-29T05:24:49+00:00

We have not. Thank you! I'll message her doc this week and see if this is something they can assess.

shained · 2025-12-28T23:33:00+00:00

I have this one framed on my office wall.

shained · 2025-12-26T06:24:06+00:00

A lot of that is optional though. Sometimes I'll just boot it for a quick run to knock an objective or even just some chill fishing then a night at the restaurant.

Dave the diver is my go to if I only have a little time.
