Hittman's Hideout

[hittman]

I have mentioned it. I guess her family just doesn't grasp the concept that I don't want company. My wife and I have discussed it many times. I am generally not a rude person so I don't say anything. Maybe I am being a baby and should just get over it.

Hubs saw spine dr today. I liked the dr. Male,40ish,with a sense of humor and not surgery happy.
He had the pics of the actual MRI and hubs spine is in bad shape. Bulging discs on all levels of the spine with the bottom levels being the worse. Also degenerative disk (bone) disease,spinal stenosis moderate to severe bilateral foraminal stenosis and advanced arthritis. Pinched nerves are causing the pain he gets down his legs. Dr, has 4 options with surgery in last place. 1st option is chiropractor,acupuncture,therapy etc etc. Option 2 is try to treat the inflammation. Since hubs has been seeing a chiropractor for years he's moving to option 2 which is 600ml of ibuprofen 3 times a day. Hubs had to ok that with his own dr first. 2 weeks only and he has to call and let spine dr if it helps or not. Option 3 is a steroid shot.

I hope something works for him Fran. That sounds like horrible pain.

 

[FranC]

It ain't no fun,that's for sure. Something he lives with every day,some worse than others. Hoping one of the options will give him some relief from the pain.

Good Morning. Boy that sounds painful! I came close with wanting a shot with my last bout with sciatica. Did do oral steroids which worked great right before I came here . Fran, I don't know how he can run a body shop, that is some serious pain..
Well off to the airport, headed to Geneva and Annecy for a few days.

Good morning,PT The pain has given hubs just about a forced retirement but he does what he can.

 

[hittman]

Good morning. Does he have employees to help?

Good morning. Does he have employees to help?

He has a couple friends that will help out if needed.

 

[hittman]

That's good. At least he's not left alone.

 

[FranC]

He's had to really scale down on work. Much he just can't do anymore.

 

[hittman]

I can definitely understand that. Heck, just getting older is slowing me down some. I can't imagine trying to work with what he's dealing with.

 

[FranC]

It's difficult to say the least.

Hey y'all

[FranC]

Yes,CES. All options are open.

Good morning y'all.

Rain finally moved out and we have sun in the forecast for the next few days. The addition isn't dried in any more though. The rain and wind peeled back about 20%of the tarpaper Easy to fix...but still.
