Happy Halloween spineys
Happy Halloween all,
what does everyone do on this day, there are so many of us from all over, just a fun thing to see how many different ways or if you do Halloween things at all.
Our block is huge and lots of kids all ages, so it is safe and everyone comes out, we can take our kids around at same time and even leave bowl candy saying take few pieces and yes the kids to do it.
So share what you do today??
And I hope today brings you all pain free days

Today I am going to spend halloween a little differently. I have the day off so I am going to go to lunch with my sister and then go to the store to get some work pants (I spilled fruit punch all over my pants 2 days ago).
Tonight I am going to go over to my friends house and we are going to watch a scary movie and continue to plan our Disney trip in Feb.

for this year it is totally all about the kids:) love to see the grandbabies and any neighborhood kids all dressed up
I also do love Halloween and have in the past dressed up and enjoyed the local parties, but this year I am leaving it to the kids, unless you want to count this cane as part of my costume!
wishing you all some smiles a bit less pain and maybe some chocolate!! yum!!
Focus is on the future!
My past includes my first cervical fusion 1993; next cervical fusion Jan 2011; TLIF L4-5 in May 2011.
Still healing
Happy Halloween to you too! And all fellow spineys!
I live so far back in the sticks that we have no trick or treaters at my house! lol. Our son is 20 so no one to take out either. I miss that.
The one thing I try to do is make it to Walmart at midnight to buy half priced candy!!
If nothing happens there'll be candy wrappers all over tomorrow. hehehe.

Not too much happening for me. Since we moved to this new area 3 months ago we will not be shelling out. At my other home we had tons of kids come around for the great chocolate bars I gave out but this year my husband didn't get any treats for the kids and there aren't a lot of kids in this immediate area. I know they will miss treats at my other house! Tonight the lights will be low so they won't come to the door.
I usually like watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie. Anyone remember that movie? We used to go out dancing and I dressed up as Elvira or a Vampire with black nails and black lipstick similar to my Avatar picture! Charry
Any answers I have is not medical advice only a Doctor can help you with that. Just sharing my personal experience as a fellow Spine Health member only. DDD of lumbar spine with sciatica to left hip,leg and foot. L4-L5 posterior disc bulge with prominent facets, L5-S1 prominent facets with a posterior osteocartilaginous bar. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing Neck-reverse Lordosis of c-spine C6-C7 with impingement, numb hand and sore outer elbow. Keep the faith.
Out here (the boonies) never have tricker-treaters, so it is always quiet. Hubby is on night shift, so staying on med schedule and relaxing as I come back to my new normal, whatever that will be. (G)
I hope all don't overdue tonight with the bending to get the candy or give it out. Stay safe all!!! And...have fun!!

L4 L5 disc replacement in 2004=causing nerve damage'Flexicore disc. 2006 fusion same level leaving adr in. Fusion did nothing to releive the nerve pain.Pain clinic=every injection procedure avalable inc,razadamy, ablation, nerve stimulater trial,morphine pump trial all failed. Pain can be described as burning pain in lower spine penetrating in to left buttock,down left leg. Refuse to take lyrica or nuorontin do to its side effect,Leaving me with norco,valume,and flexiril at night.Which these medications only help with the muscle aches and stiffnes does nothing for the nerve pain from the nerve damage sustained from the adr surgery.Coming up nov.19th 2009 Lami, and hardware removal from fusion,for hardware just causing more pain in other areas.Hardware block comfirmed hardware is also causing pain in diferent area aside from the severe nerve pain on left side.Emg showed some posible problem above surgery are at L3 L4.
