Finally had to have back surgery

Post by Paste Human »

This was about five weeks ago, but I was in pain for at least a year leading up to it. I actually ended up in the ER about ten days before surgery because I couldn't even get out of bed.

So if I was gone for a while - too lazy to check - that's what it was. I couldn't even sit for more than 15 minutes at a time toward the end. I went about eight months without getting more than two consecutive hours of sleep. I have no idea how Pete Sandoval was playing entire sets under those conditions (I guess he had the same thing).

The surgery took a couple hours but I didn't feel a thing, and the recovery has been nearly painless and I barely had to take any pain medication.

Here's what was causing all the pain:

The white material getting crushed near the bottom of the image was (and I guess still is...) very sensitive nerve tissue. And then once they got in there it turned out there was a lot more tissue floating around not shown in the image.

Thankfully nothing extra had to be done. And again I have no idea how Pete made it through it all the way he did. I'll be sending him something soon :santa:

I had a bad fall in the bathroom last night. I have an appointment in the next week. Things seem ok for now but I feel like glass for now. Life sucks :oldryan:

That probably contributed to this issue. I'm actually kind of depressed at this point because it was a really fun job for a long time but I don't know if I can go back to it without likely risk of re-injury. I'll figure something out.
