Dr Ahsittma Draws is seeing new patients in his Partlow office. BR-549You fool! He's a proctologist - wrong back specialist!

I stand corrected. That does look like some San Francisco foreplay, but can't be sure. Like judging a cop shooting from 18 seconds of shaky cell phone video.

Well... no surgery. Not anytime soon.

He said I'm a textbook case for the L5-S1 fusion, which is done on the anterior of the spine and through the belly. I'm considered to be very high risk for any surgery but especially this one (not a life or death thing) because of my habitus. IOW, I'm too fucking fat. He also said the surgery is usually helpful but not always, no matter the size and age of the patient.
To add insult to injury, he said that PT, injections, and narcotic meds are mostly useless with what I've got going on. Weight loss may or may not help, but could greatly reduced risk for having the surgery. I'd have to lose at least 100 lbs for that to be within reason.
As bad as it sounds, it may not be the worst thing because I now have some serious ammo for disability.

Well, hell, I just don't know what to say.
PS I found a few old kratom tablets if you want them. Probably one dose. I'm on travel until Friday.

That’s awful. I watched my mom suffer until the day she died. Life is just not fair.

Ah John, I am sorry. It's hard enough being told that you're not a good candidate for the surgery due to other issues, but it has to be 100% times worse to be told that there are no other viable options either.

I guess the only viable options are duct tape and a treadmill.
