I guess since I bitch about my health occasionally in here, whining weakling I can be... oh damned me, running toward nothing and never sure why I am in this rush at all? Well, so here is I guess news. I would skip this whole entry if you don't know me, let me tell you now though, because this could get boring -- an old fart describing his health problems just may not be your cup of tea -- it sure ain't mine. I prefer to suffer in silence but my fingers move and move over the keys, whether my thoughts are providing them with pleasing enough impetus of not...
Okay, so the surgery I had been dreading is not needed. After running a zillion tests, they basically told me that I will be in pain forever, but the surgery is unneeded, because the fusions are solid. There. That wasn't too gross for all concerned, I suppose.

Johnny, is there some kind of therapy that would work? Back strengthening, etc.?
no, what is happening is six vertebrae are fused, and the verterbrae at the top of the fusion breaks down because that is where I bend. The bones of my spine were turned pourous, so they put in hip bone when I was seventeen to shore it up... the good news is that this is holding for now. They will eventually have to go in and fuse the back again, at the bottom and top of my spine... So it will get real bad again... they said it could be a yar, or ten year... I asked if I could work out again and they said yea. this made me very happy.. i have a life time membership at bally that I can activate with ninety nine bucks, should I have t spare anytime soon... I have more comments to write you... by the way.
great guinea pig. I raised them when I was a kid... did you>?
