Here is a place for social chats with special attention to support and non medical discussions. We need a place to chill out, where we can distract from our pain and enjoy lighter moments, share a joke or funny moment with others.
My son recently had back surgery to correct a large spinal curvature due to kyphosis. I took this video of him in the recovery room. It is so funny!!!! I wish I could remember the days when morphine made me "high" and not just a way to keep me from screaming in pain. I was so worried that he wouldn't take pain medication very seriously since he has watched me down handfulls of it for over 3 years, but I am amazed...he really respects the power of narcotics! Anyway, if you want a smile, check out my son Matt after surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Bless, and so polite with it
Thanks for this Mary,
Take care (of you and him )

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
