Oh yeah SDW, I forgot to say, after the surgery the pain situation wasn't bad at all, at least in my case. They gave me some Motrin and some heavy duty painkillers when I checked out of the hospital, all I had to take was a few Motrins the first day or so, never had to touch the addicting stuff, luckily.
(YMMV, of course)
Oh, and I have a pic of the surgery site with all the staples in it, I could post if you'd want!
I think the oddest part of the first post-op visit was the nurse pulling the staples out with a pair of surgical steel pliers! "OK, hold still." YANK, YANK, YANK...
Yeah, that's the thing. I'm 31....going to be 32 on the Oct. 22nd.
well, what do you know, im going to be 32 on October 21st.
As for the rest of the outrage, lighten up, there is no love lost between us two.
I can quite easily imagine a world where people like SDW do not exist, although it will probably never happen. In this world, there is peace, prosperity, understanding, equality, freedom and love between all men and women.
I dont know where the rest of you have been for the last 5 years, but SDW does not stand for any of these things. Infact, he has shown time after time, that he is completely the opposite.
Now, it might be more refined to wish an adversary some good will with his misfortune, but then you have to remember that SDW and the like are jointly responsible for all the sick shit that goes on it the world today, by the way they vote, and the way they defend the actions of the perverse and perverted.
There is no good will on their part, just a sick desire to wipe them out and install hardline wingnut dictatorship masquerading as democracy, so that the peoples may be exploited for profit. Thanks to them, there are hundreds of thousands of innocent people who have far worse injuries than SDW, if indeed they are still alive. There is no good will given to those people whatsoever.
IMO, that does not warrant refined good will at all. If anything, SDW's little misery is justice for his convictions, and if there was a God at all, he would strike SDW down in permanent agony from the neck down in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, to constantly remind him that everything he stood for was wrong, and as a reminder that what he indirectly enabled is exactly the same kind of misery and suffering he helped enable on other people.
Spare me the outrage, I aint changing my mind anytime soon.

I haven't followed these boards long enough to know anything about either of you or your positions. And, you know, I am a cat.
However, your diatribe strikes me as wierdly self-referential. You come off sounding like the very thing you accuse him of.

they had to pin together two or three vortices (?) because her spinal column was almost collapsing. It looked a little like your picture, but worse. Seen from upfront, her spinal column looked like an "S" - quite scary.
It went quite well. The pain is much better than before, but there are days when she needs some real drugs. they decide in a few weeks if she has to do it one more time.

You seem to be beyond the help of mere men with your statements in this thread so I ask you to consider the following:
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another (John 13:34).
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9).
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble (1 John 2:9-10).
2 Cor 2:10-11 States “whom you forgive I also forgive, for if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ lest Satan take advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
One of the things we learn is that unforgiveness is one of Satan’s devices, an instrument, a weapon, a plot, a scheme, a tool, that he uses. People that Satan couldn’t get to to rob a bank or shoot someone, he gets to them through strife, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness…
Ephesians is a good example; it’s not only in Ephesians, but throughout the Bible. This principle is given to us: that in the same way that God forgave us, we are to “choose” to forgive others. Ephesians 4:31-32 states “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor (quarreling) and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice (malice gets into that area of hatred because of bitterness and resentment).”

Wow...that sounds tough. Mine is actually not like that...it's just opening up space for the nerves. Nothing is collapsing or bent or what not...it's just the nerves getting pinched and inflamed while I'm standing/walking, etc.

I had a few weeks of severe pain from a back injury when I was in college... 5 years of it sounds like hell on earth. I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.

This could get ugly...
I am talking to myself as well... We are all able to fall into the trap of bitterness and unforgiveness..
The powers of darkness do not discriminate.
After all "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities" This is not "really" about a person in this thread.

But make sure to tell the doctor that after the surgery, you still want to lean to the right.
I pray everything goes well at the hospital and that you come out this fully healed.

How does it work when a teacher leaves for an unknown period of time? Do you just hand over your lesson plan to the substitute and hope for the best?
