Want to say Hello

Hey there April. Thanks for the interest. I have degenerative disc disease.
Had an 8 hour fusion and stabilization. I have to do everything I can to
slow down the process - so that means weight loss, exercise, and I'm taking
calcium. The weight is a big problem. I should do ok if I can do everything
I need to do.
Take care

Glad to see you! What was the surgery on your spine for? What do your
doctors say about your prognosis?

Welcome back!
April.

Hey Monica! Thanks for the welcome. I've missed your positive attitude and
support. You're doing great! Over 100. Phenomenal. I hope I can follow your
example. Looking forward to your posts and more progress pics.
Take care.

BEAR!! HELLO!! WELCOME BACK!! I've thought about you often. I'm so glad
you're back. Try and stay positive and patient as you try to heal and get
back on track. I'm so sorry you had to go through surgery to try and make
it all better! Hopefully you'll feel great after recovery.
I look forward to your posts.
Monica

Thanks Carmen.Good to be back. And yes, weight loss has been a big issue
with the docs. I know I can do it with help and support. I will stick
around. Thanks for all your support. You're very special.

I'm happy to see you back. :-) As I'm sure your docs and other
health team members have worn you out telling you: losing weight may
help lower your pain level. Please stick around.

Take care,
Carmen

Thank you!
