@JazzyV I feel like I lost a lot of strength in my quads as far as getting up went (& goes) & I agree about the suction cup bars unsticking...we had them in our bathtub & they came loose more often than not. -

@JazzyV just wondering if you know the medical terms for your surgery choices... being a retired ortho floor RN, I wanted my dr to just do a laminotomy (not a laminectomy) -- he said if he did it would probably collapse in a few years & then I'd need the laminectomy & fusion - that made up my mind just to do both now instead of later.- 113 replies

@JazzyV glad you finally have a plan -- hope it is super successful! Just know it's a bit of a long recovery....I'm about 3 1/2 months out from my spine surgery & am still having good & bad days with pain. Only did 4 PT sessions 'cause I didn't feel they were worthwhile... 4 exercises today, 3 different ones the next time, 4 different ones the next time & then I said 'Forget it". I'm 79, not overweight & fairly active with my only limiting issue is emphysema (not on oxygen) so I thought my recovery would be easier than it seems to be. -

@JazzyV Only 1 more sleep on Maui - you can take me off the celebration list. This visit has been totally different from our previous ones without Lahaina, @kazu I think Max sometimes wants to go out for the treat, too - they're funny.- 86 replies

@jazzyv - I was supposed to increase my Gabapentin after about 8 weeks post-op - only did it for a couple of days - too sleepy. Went back to 300 mg at bedtime for a few weeks but now taking it morning & night - still having hip & thigh pain but it's not waking me up. -

Contact Ship Services/Special Needs & fill out the form....on board each evening you'll be given the next night's dinner menu & at the top of it note your restrictions. In the specialty restaurants they seem to know but they do ask. In the Lido you're on your own. -

I had, what I now think, a dysfunctional mother...divorced from my dad when I must have been quite young as I have no memory of him till I met him when I was 25 or so. She had very few friends so my significant females were my never married aunt & her niece, both teachers, who lived across the street & endured hours of Monoply & taught me Canasta & let me grade 3rd graders papers & my mom's brother's wife who remained one of my treasured friends for many, many years until she passed.- 155 replies

For us today is take the dog to his groomer/boarding kennel, come home & pack to stay near SeaTac in prep for our 5 hour flight to Maui tomorrow for 2 weeks. Cancelled last year since we had done the 35 day HAL cruise & we were vacationed out. Hoping for sun & nice weather!- 108 replies

@Heartgrove We thought our now 14+ year old Eskipoo was getting near the end in January, 2023. We obtained a list of vets who would euthanize him here at home. Fast forward a year, he's slower than he was & can't jump up on the couch but he's still alive & kicking - loves his daily .7 mile walk at the park, sometimes acts like he got new batteries put in. You just never know....- 87 replies
