I will be at the show hobbling around. Stop and say hi.

Turned a corner this morning. Woke up and got myself out of bed. I have this whole ritual where I have to lay on my side, swing my feet over the edge and then use my arms to lift my torso up to be in a sitting position. I have woken up like this for the last 10 years or so. I was expecting the pain to hit and it never did. Nothing, not even a twinge of discomfort. I still have pain from the staples and scar, but that is also slowly going away

Fortunately, I did not need a fusion.

Received 12/6 Got the grades today. I am very happy.

11 days post op. Nerves are starting to fire stronger now as I am fine one second, and the next I am in agony as these waves of heat move up and down my right leg. First time in a long time I actually can wiggle my toes AND feel them. Pain level is way down as I only take mediation for it just before bed. Pre-op pain was between 8-10 every day. Post-op I am at a 3-4 without meds. I am still very weak, and cannot be up and about for more than 30-40 minutes without having to rest. Am going to attempt a half day of work on Monday. I see the Doctor Tuesday for my first checkup and to remove the staples.

First thing I did. They are not too attractive, but boy do my feet feel good.

Get well soon Bob. We can compare scars at the next show.

Nice books Barron.

LOL. I put this off for about 10 years. While I am in incredible pain, I can feel the difference and, believe it or not I am walking around and doing my physical therapy. Trying not to take the opioids, but it looks like I may need them the first few days, if not for the first week.

I am home.

Very close.

I exhausted my shots. Had 3 rounds and they said no more. Learned today I had a laminectomy on 4 of the vertebrae and bone spurs removed on 5 of them. PT was no longer working, so had decided to go under the knife. I have been in what I consider level 8 and up pain since 2006. It was time as I stated earlier that every aspect of my life was suffering. I am only 1 day Post-op and I already see major improvement in the numbness and pain level. While I still have pain from the surgery it is a different pain. If my drainage stops tonight or in the morning I get to go home in the afternoon. Hopefully I get to go home

8.0 maybe 8.5 of the tear is production related.

Can you take a close up of each side of the tear? You could possibly get it to attach without glue or tape, but it depends on the way the tear occurred.

Oh smack. That was great 👍

Thanks for the well wishes guys and gals. It was time as the pain affected everything I did. I had 5 vertebrae cleaned up to remove bone spurs, some issue from arthritis and to make the openings for the nerve bundles larger to reduce the stenosis. Lots of pain right now as I am only one day post op. Did some PT and OT today. Couldn’t put in my own socks without using a tool to hold the sock open. Looked a lot like a snake stick. I should be back working in 4-5 days.

If the book is pressed properly, it will take care of issues on the covers and interior pages.

The short answer is yes. You have to determine if the pages are brittle or not BEFORE attempting to work on them. As has been previously stated, you need to have this done by someone well qualified (and insured).
