Pain in my butt

Ernie: Hope that you were @ least still able to attend the tea party after the fall.

"One pill makes you better and..."

I'm very glad to meet to have met you. I'm sorry about your condition, and I hope for the most part that it is mostly temparary. I'm kinda in a health scare at the moment also, and it's a pain in the butt, but without the pain. To say I feel your pain would be subjective.(ha!)
We all like it when our stereo's work really well, we don't like it when our dryers don't work, the car, the refrigerater, but we can just put that stuff waay down on the list. There are just some things that HAVE to work.
But then really there is just too much to life and in life to give up on anything. There isn't a bright side, there are many.
I think slipped disc can get you out of a colonoscophy. (yeah, I know it's not that bad, but you didn't want one anyway I bet).
I've had my back out from a strain, I've had pain that wouldn't go away, but sir, I must bow to your resilience. I hope you post, so we could learn from you. Like how to actually listen to music. I've heard stories about people listening to music without actually being in the sweet spot (I can't provide proof, I just heard that). I also read a review on a piece of music where there was these things in the recording that I hadn't heard, (different pressing?) and a friend told me it had to be played all the way through, and without stopping. (How does that work, that something is not there when you start it again?)

Good Cheer friend. You were missed. Welcome back.

I remain,

Yea, I understand that back thing. In the past two years I had to have a surgery that bolted seven of my vertebras together and fused them with bone from my hip in the thoracic spine area. This year, they went in through my chest and removed a thoracic disk and fused it with a rib and bolted it with a plate. SO, make sure you take very good care of it because once it is damaged beyond standard repair it is much more difficult and you have to take a lot more medications. I am very happy that I had finished my system to a good point to get through recovery. It made life very tolerable.
Take very good care of yourself. Don't rush it! Very few things are worth your health, especially when it comes to terminal pain.

Sorry to hear this. I know too many people who have this crippling problem. Hopefully physical therapy and massage can help. Many times problems like this will stabilize over time and problem becomes less. Wish you the best.
