Thanks for that info I saved it in my favorites. I see a therapist on Thursday, the doctor says I need to build up muscle to stabilize the spine. I will ask them about this machine then.

well for some time now i have been having back pain.

i have been on pain meds now for about 4 years.

a few weeks ago the pain was so bad i ended up in the emergency room.

Thanks everyone for your fine and caring words. This has been a mental blow for me more than the physical part. If a man could ever feel scared, just try taking his job away. That bread and butter going away if rather frightening.

Hey Unclebruce,

Yes I asked about surgical correction. His statement was it is very risky and only 10% make it out successful. Those are not very good odds.....

last night my mother asked me if i've heard from any of my old jw friends.

oldflame

No Invitation here but then I would not go if I had been. I will not enter a kingdom hall door again for nothing, not even my mothers funeral.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I guess I forgot to say what I did do for work. I have been in the construction field for 31 years. I have been a self employed contractor for 20 of those 31 years. I have done work for people like Michael Douglas, Harrison Ford, Charles Buckley, and the owner of hanes underwear and sara lee pies. I am well known among the rich and famous for my work and I take a lot of pride in what I do. Today I am a property manager and maintenance and I have a handyman company.

Ever since the brain anyuerism my health has began to fall apart, meaning my back. Doing a desk job ? Well it is hard to sit for length of times too.

Lady Lee, I would almost rather be blind than to not be able to do my work. My father was a blind man and he went to blind school and learned to tune and repair pianos. He was well known in the state of Washington because he was good, damn good.

Oh I know there are many things I can do for a living but hell at 45 in a few days how does a man start all over again. My brain has been running through itself in what I will do. I'm at a loss.

i know that people here make comments about the religion having problems and growth not being anything other then children born into the faith and third world countries.

i even see them make comments about, "how much longer can this go on?

" yet honestly, do you really think the witness religion will end in our life time?

oldflame

Well for some time now I have been having back pain. I have been on pain meds now for about 4 years. A few weeks ago the pain was so bad I ended up in the emergency room. I went to see my regular doctor afterwards and he sent me in for a CT scan. Well it's not good. It's so bad he said no more working.

Now what the heck is a man supposed to do after 31 years of loving his work. I get easily bored, can't just sit around the house I will go nuts.

Anyway i have Spina Bifida Occulta and 2 bulging disk in my lower L-4 and L-5 the bone that sits between the disk have slipped to one side of the spine which causes the bone to push on the spinal cord on one side and nerve and muscle on the other. The pain is incredible at times. The Doc say's one wrong move and it's a wheel chair, so I have to make serious changes in my life now...

So you might see me here more often..................

Would You Die For Someone If You Knew They Wouldn't Die For You?

would you give up your life for someone if you believed that if the shoe were on the other foot---they wouldn't do it for you??

If I WERE IN THE ACT OF SAVING SOMEONES LIFE AND DIED IN THE EVENT THEN I WOULD GAIN THE ULTIMATE GIFT BECAUSE JESUS SAID THERE IS NO GREATER GIFT THAN TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS FELLOW MAN.
