Thanks,
Rick

Are you doing Christmas tree burn party this year. PM me.

[RickBomba]

Just found out yesterday that I need another back operation. The fusion has only partially worked and my L5-S1 combo is unstable. They're putting in bolts and rods on each side of the spine to tie them together in case the fusion doesn't progress any further.

I don't know the date yet, but I'm guessing it should be the Tuesday before the TFCTFN (If I know my surgeon).

Taking Jack ice fishing tomorrow. Saw a guy chasing flags for 15 minutes yesterday across the street. I want to give it a shot before I'm back in bed again.

Sorry everybody. Sometimes I feel like this party is (at least partly) my responsibility, so I don't take missing it lightly.

Big frown face.

Rick

that sucks Rick, I hope things go better.
I am familiar with L5 S1 problems myself

Going to try to make this one. Haven't been in a bunch of years. Stopped posting and turned into a lurker a number of years ago. Hopefully will shake off the dust and contribute more this year.

Been dealing with spodylolythisis most of my life. Basically a grade 2 now in the S1-L5. Stability is an issue, nerve impingement, all treatments have failed so a fusion with rods and screws is the final option. I was told 12 week recovery.

Rick, good luck with your back.

[JohnR]

Sorry to hear Rickman - I have been in constant and occasionally intolerable pain for much of this year.

We should send the strippahs to your house??

Rick, good luck with your back.

12 weeks is what it would take to get back to an IT job like mine. I still can't lift up my 40 pound kid and I'm 6 months out.

Sounds like you're gonna get a PLIF if it's with the rods and screws, right? The PLIF is an even longer road, because they peel the erector spinae muscles off your spine and they need to grow back, too.

I took the ALIF approach because the fusion rate is better, I'm relatively young, and don't smoke.

I got Bell's Palsy three months in and was on Prednisone for a month. I wonder if it killed the bone grafts. Who knows.

Anyway, the new one should give me the stability I need without the fusion. Healing is quick, I hear, too.

Good luck too. Looking more and more like I will be at the TFCTFN, too. My doctor's assistant who schedules the surgeries won't be back till Monday, so I doubt they can get me in in two weeks.

John, no strippahs. I am old man, with simple tastes, who moves slow. I am easy prey for them.

Makai, it usually starts between 6 and 7PM. It's at the VFW hall in Fairhaven MA. I'm pretty sure it is at 109 Middle Street in Fairhaven

I verified my room at the hotel last night. I would say unless there is some sort of miracle from God (sorry guys, the sooner I get this pain out of my life the better), then I WILL be attending the TFCTFN.

I'm bringing either one or two guys to help me, so I should be in good shape in the kitchen.

See you guys then (I think).

Hi guys,

I am still hanging in there but not by much. trying to keep busy....

I stop by every now and then to see the site trying to pass time and keep my mind from wandering.

I am unfamiliar with TFCTFN 2016. What is it ? From what I read sounds like a fishing/gathering/party ?

Hi Guys,
I'm in way too much pain to make it. Between snowblowing and walking to the train in this crap, I'm in true agony. I should be finding out my surgery date today. I'm pushing the doc to try to do it ASAP.

Sorry guys, I tried. I even had hired help coming with me.
