3 1/2 weeks after surgery, started PT yesterday. Woke up this morning a little sore. Did some stretching, coffee and my mile walk. Pt will be 3 days a week until at least mid October. Still losing weight, over #60 this morning when I got on the scales, has taken 18 months. Really happy with...

Had my post op appointment with my doc today. He said I was doing fantastic and I will start full blown PT next week. This whole back surgery and recovery has gone a lot better than I expected. Hope everything continues!

There is a current group of Colorado residents who volunteered to participate in a roundtable to discuss changes to the big game hunting rules as far as tag selection, preference points and many other points that may or may not be up for change shortly. I applied to be part of the group, but was...

Which parts do you thing this happened?

It's all about money. If we cut the number of NR tags and put limits on OTC tags, we (residents) better be prepared to pay more to hunt here.

Why 16ga? I would rather have a 20 ga. Easier to get ammo and you can get the same or better performance with a 3" 20 ga that the 16 ga.

Thank you for your service Brother.

I'll start by saying I am not defending the military and how they handled their base operations during this period. My experience in the military is a Vietnam era draftee in the Army who was injured in a non combat situation which resulted in my disability. The bases in the middle east combat...

I havn't been out in a couple of weeks (been recuperating from back surgery), but a neighbor was up around Silverton and the high country here in SW Colorado looks lush & green. Tons of wildflowers and water everywhere. Monsoons started a month early and have not let up. Got some rain here last...

Sunday morning....Woke up this am a little stiff and sore. Been hitting it pretty hard all week (at least for an 80 year old goat who had major back surgery 9 days ago!), seems like a little rest is in order. Still do some treadmill walking, but that will be it. Will start again tomorrow morning...

Just got off the treadmill for 1/2 hour. Will go for a walk this evening when it cools down and the deer are out.

I am a disabled vet too, altho I was drafted and never in combat, I would do it again also. I was young and it really made a difference in my life.

They also burned human waste. I spent my aerospace working career working around all types of chemicals used for adhesives, sealers, cutting lubrications, high strength cleaners and the worst of all composite fillers, adhesives and sealants. These all are known carcinogens. Early on we used no...

I put sand in one of my vacume meat bags and seal it. Then I put it in an old wool sock and slide it between my shoulder and the butt. Works great.

This afternoon I am going to walk to the mailbox and back, about 1/2 mile r/t, but Dr orders, I have to use a walker. I turn on the tv and watch it while I am using the treadmill, otherwise pretty boring. Already 1 hour on it. I didn't go outside because my wife was gone and I want her around...

Tuesday morning... Pain from the incision has definitely gotten better, sleeping well too. Going to start walking outside today and only use my treadmill when the weather doesn't cooperate. It sure looks like the results are going to be good (for an old man!). Thanks for all your get well wishes.

Back home after a very successful 4 hour surgery. It unreal what they can do today, 4 to 5 inch incision over L1 thru L5 , cleaned up lots of bone and made more room for the nerves. All the back pain is gone except for the area where they did the cutting and it's not bad at all. Walked a mile...

Yep!

Luckily no metal implants or fusion.

I have been having some back issues for a long time and tomorrow I am having surgery to fix it. I have Stenosis in L1 thru L5 in my lower back. Tried steroid injections (worked for awhile, not now), PT and lost a bunch of weight (55+ pounds). They all helped, but now it's time to let the surgeon...
