My sister has the same problem! Augh!

I just got a cell from her. She hurt her back about 2 weeks ago. She just got MRI results: T10-11 small bulge, T12-L1 bulge. Augh! Sky poor sis is only 26 with 2 kids under age 2. Her family also depends on her income. I'm so glad she qualifies for disabiity.

Sisters

Hi Jennyfoo.
My sister and I have many of the same problems. She is 1 year younger than I.
Her first neck surgery was about 8 years ago..
We are close..in many ways..no other brothers or sisters.
We live 5 minutes from each other. and talk everyday.
I support her and she supports me..we are both fishing in the same boat you might say.
She understands my pains and issues and I understand hers.
smiles to you and your sis...Patsy

I wish my six was close, but

I wish my sis was close, but we're in CA and she was smart and got out of this overinflated economic mess of a state a few years ago and moved to TN. We are very close, best friends, but the distance sucks. I'm from a family with 6 kids, butonly close to my 2 sisters.
