Finally loading. I was beginning to wonder. So glad I'm able to load with no issues so far today. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

What's going on with this site? It's running super slow and having a very hard time loading the site or even commenting on posts. It's been this way off and on for awhile to the point most days you can't get online at all.

Should clarify one thing about my last post. What I was referring to was that the world is starting to resemble the years leading up to World War II. International politics has been turning dangerous. I know Grok my point was that we're all on different opinions and while we must follow the rules o...

Alright gentlemen no need for the thread to be locked. We all have different opinions when certain things arise and while I totally understand regarding the rules of SK we also must not use that when someone's opinions becomes different but to try to understand one another and why each member feels ...

Your very last sentence in your first post: I hate what has become of everything. We live in by far, the most free country on the face of God’s earth. The fact that an individual was fired because his personal choices didn’t align with those of his employer - is unfortunate, but not traumatic or ca...

Wait until Trump's base realises that he double-crossed them to provide more welfare money to the billionaire class in the form of "tax cuts" that they neither need nor deserve. Wait until Social Security is wiped clean and shut down impoverishing millions upon millions of ex-middle-class...

I'm starting Physical therapy on March 10th. I'm keeping positive that this will help. I'm not sure if it's going to fix the issue with the sciatic nerve but they're hoping it will strengthen the core muscles and my back.

Doctor wants to try and do physical therapy to see if they can strengthen my back. The CT scan showed bulges of discs and multilevel degenerative disc disease. If physical therapy can't fix my issues then they'll have me come in for a consultation on surgery

Thank you

Doctors working late and just messaged me. This is what he said: Elizabeth, X-ray does show degenerative changes in your spine, mild scoliosis of your spine including severe disc space narrowing at the bottom of your lumbar spine and neural foraminal stenosis (narrowing where nerves exit spinal cord...

The results of my X-rays are in and as followed below: Bones: 5 non-rib-bearing vertebrae are present. Mild dextrocurvature centered at the L3-L4 level. Loss of lordosis which could be related to muscle spasm, rigidity or simply positional. Moderate to severe disc height loss at the L5-$1 level; oth...

My disc problems didn't show up with a 'regular' X-Ray. Only showed up with a CT scan. Then my D.O. contacted a surgeon for me. He had to speak to the surgeon directly as 'The Scheduler' wouldn't book a consultation appointment for 6 weeks. My D. O. got me in to see the surgeon w/in 3 days after hi...

We're looking at possible back surgery to fix a bulging disc. I'll update once the X-rays are in.

I am the Wicked Witch of the West... Trump is the Wizard. Ah, I got the character assignments wrong. My mistake. Sorry. I also noticed it seemed to be peppered with a little Orwell (1984) too. Not sure if that was intentional or not. Well, recall that Orwell did try to warn us -- and we ignored him...
