I hear ya. Been a tough road lately, been out of work since about the first of the year cause of my back and had another spine fusion in June so I'm almost done with the first part of healing. Hopefully I go back to work in September (not that I want to go back) but I need money.
Dunno, I thought rednecks only drank beer?
Or Red Bull maybe, I can't keep up with kids' habits these days
Tazz, Hope you get back on your feet soon! I'm in the same boat, been living with spine pain in my neck and lower back for many many years. Been through the gamut of PT, injections, RF treatments, TENS units and surgery. I finally said enough about six years ago, anything including surgery was only a temp fix and I was only worse when the pain returned. I've resigned to just face that the cards I've been dealt and live on meds for any relief I can get. The doctors told me surgery would relieve the pain, what they never told me until I asked and only after I found out the hard way, is it's often not a permanent fix and you can end up worse when it does come back.
I pray you have a good outcome! Ask questions! Get second and third opinions before you let them operate again! Hang in there and let us know how your doing.
I let them do it again cause the first fusion was a mini and the bone graphs didn't take. They did a full fusion this time with different type of graph plus the last one failed in part by me doing stupid stuff before I was ready. I am feeling better definitely for only being done a few months ago so that's a plus. I finally am kicking the oxycodone after three years and that's worse than the pain but I'm off them. That's the true test to see if I can get by without them and if there is some pain still so be it as long as I can get on with daily life. I know I'm always gonna be in pain it's just how much so we'll see.....
I often think of you slick cause I kind of know where you're at. I know this has been going on with you for a bit longer than me (cause you're an old fart) and I hope you're doing well. I have been asking questions believe me and this isn't the first quack I have been too either, I've been doing my due diligence there. Believe me they haven't sugar coated anything for me. Anyways I'm rambling again.

Old fart is right LoL. It's more wear and tear, abuse and lack of maintenance, played hard and now I'm paying for it. I'm happy to hear you've asked the questions, some of these doctors aren't forth coming with all the facts, too quick to get you in the production line outside the operating room, on the table and stuff their savings account.
I know a gal younger then me that's had six neck surgery's and all of them have failed. She's now in very bad shape, they can't do anything more for her other then pain management. She has two young kids, tries hard to work but often has to leave, go home and lay in bed. She told me she wishes she never had any surgery's, she is so worse off then she was at the start. Sad to see someone young, (I call 40 young) with so much life left to be doomed to so much pain for the rest of her life. My sister hired her to help her out, she knows she can go home when she needs too. But my sister is getting ready to sell her business and retire, don't know what's going to happen to this gal when my sister has to let her go. Watching what happen to her, I said enough, no more surgery's for me, I'll hold the cards I have and hope I made the right choice. Besides I have bad luck and a piss poor poker player, but I know when to fold em.
You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away know when to run. That's right..... I can't run anymore...... All that just for a stupid punch line.
Speaking of... anybody have any favorite coffee flavored juices they like? The two that I vape a lot are:
Yeti Vape - HazeCap
Northland Vapor - Nuts and Cream
My most favorite coffee vape is no longer being made. I was vaping Kona latte from sweet vapes so now I gotta try to make it. It's been my all day vape for a few years now. They stopped making all their own juices.
Tell me about it. I never tried that one and now I wish I did. Sweet-Vapes also made Nutty Coffee and I just loved that stuff. Although it wasn't really nutty or coffee tasting. Although I don't know how to describe it as nothing I ever tasted was like it. I went to order some more on the 7th and they removed all of their house brands.
I hope so, I did.
The lady with the 1200 baud modem found the bigger picture! LMAO [emoji23]lol! let's do this right, tazz!
