Wow. Sorry about the surgeries. You have been through it for sure. How are the artificial discs working for you. I am holding out as long as I can and hoping for advancements for the artificial discs before I do it. Living with it is not fun but it’s amazing how you just learn to deal with it and stay happy. My wife is the same way, you just get by and keep a happy outlook. I am glad you have found a way to stay positive. Having good genetics like you do helps a lot.
My lower back and neck have several herniated discs and after watching what my wife went through in her neck I am not looking forward to what happens to me eventually. That’s why I am hoping for the advancements in artificial discs.
I completely understand the morning meds making you chatty. My wife and I talk non stop for about 2 hours every morning. Lol

Ha! I'm glad I am not the only one the meds do that to!
So far, the discs have held up very well. I worry more about all the screws and rods breaking. But I don't think about it or it would drive me insane.
Glad to hear you both have a positive outlook, it's easy for chronic pain to put you in less than a good mood. I have a great wife too and I think that makes a huge difference. My daughters both moved to Texas while I'm still stuck in Virginia but I visit them quite a bit. And Facetime is a wonderful thing, they always brighten my day. I'll eventually get back home when my wife retires.
Was great to heat y'alls stories although I wish it didn't have to be about this subject. Hope y'all have a great weekend.
