well hey hey peeps.

went and saw the dr for my back. basicaly they are going to let try and heal on its own for 3 months. i have to get exrays every month and in 3 months they will make me take the back brace off and bend forward and back wards and take exrays. if my l-1 moves then they are doing back surgery. so lets all hope for the best! i get my blood filter taken out on the 28th of this month and if there are no clots then i think they are puting another on back in. i go to see the heart dr on tuesday they are pretty sure my heart stopped because of all the trama i was going trough so lets hope i dont have to get a pace maker. i am off the walker now and on crutches :rockwoot: my back dosnt even really hurt anymore. i only take my pain meds when i go to bed so i sleep better. my right leg seams to be the problem now. it really hurts but im dealing with it.

on a good note my land lords gave me back my december rent wich is really awsome! it helped a bunch with x-mas. i got my first disability check this week. only 300 short a payday :dunno: and looks like im off work for the next 3-4 months.

just wanted to give you all a update on me.

you all have a merry x-mas

jeff and family :laughoff:

ya but your version sux lol j/k :dunno: somthing had to be not quite right i was wondering if theres somthing seemed not quite right or ...ect thats what i mean i know the jist of it from pete ty but i was wondering about the above is all :beercheers:

I have had back problems for 10 yrs. The first time you usually heal pretty good. I have L4/L5 and S1 bad. I have had a few MRI's. Buldge is between 4-8mm. Don't bending over for anything and don't lift anything over 50lbs. Period. Trust me. If they are going to do "Fusion" get a second and third opinion. If they are going to do a discectomy then that is better. But, it can happen again. You have a 20% this will happen to another disc just so you know. With the discectomy, they usually last 10 years or so. I heard fusion is the same. None of this is forever. Go to P/T and have them get you some strength for your back it will help in your every day life.
