Dave's got it with the RH that Farmer Jon brought up, 20% is incredibly low (where *are* you in NorCal that the RH is getting that low?). My girls get major stiffies when the room temps are near 80F and RH is around 70%, they are absolutely at their happiest.
I've been there, not being able to even get myself to the toilet without help. I am here now, NO SURGERY, getting myself to the toilet as long as I don't overdo it. My hips are almost more fucked than my back, but I digress, this is a UC FAIL thread.
Mr. Dizzle, you've made some interesting points and I sure do love growing in coco + rice hulls (nix the perlite, man, rice hulls for the win)! How come Jack rarely posts here anymore?
The discs between L4 and L5, and L5 and S1 are the ones that I've blown. But I've always worked hard, used to have horses, raised pigs, rode quadrunners (last time I rode a quad I got bitten by that rattler, haven't ridden since, but that was only a year before my injury). I'm afraid to try skiing, but we live 45mins from world class skiing up at Kirkwood, and DAMN it looks like fun!Ya actually I went down for the surgery at the VA center in Stanford.. went in for preop and had a nasty staff infection that was giving me golfball sized cysts in my armpits from a spider bite or something..needless to say you have to be healthy to have surgery I guess.. Its my L4 L5 vertebre, the cushsion in the middle is completely pushed out against my spine, I saw my MRI and it was sticking out like a sore thumb. Its weird I can ride my quad, snowboard and shit like that and not been in pain since before I was supposed to have my surgery but ANY type of bending over type of work or leaning.. straight up will put me to the floor in agonizing pain in my sciatic.
My friend, you have a few years to go yet (before you're classified as "older"). Stay as active as you can, if you don't have a TENS unit get one and use it every time you need it. My son bought me a shiatsu massager that gets a lot of workouts, not just on my back but for my hips, too.Lets just say til I cannot walk permanently I probably will keep putting off the surgery.. If I quit being a fatass would probably help too...LOL less stress on my whole system! But man getting older (31) and not loving all the physical shit I did in the Marines keeps me from cutting down bigtime.. I like being fat and happy except I will be fat and dead if I am not careful. Anyways I am active I ride my bicycle and shit like that and go to the gym but ya I dunno they want to remove the entire degraded disc and DID say it may have no effect and would probably need to be fused when I am older.. for now I will just deal with it.. I have just had scary times where like say I all the sudden could not walk for a month.. that sucks balls! LITERALLY crawling on the floor like a dog.. Fucking IRAQ!
