Well I guess I will go ahead and share with you guys. I been having back problems (disc protrusion on L4-S1) off and on for about 7 years now. My back has been giving me problems again for about 3 months ever since having to take care of my mother before she passed away in November. Well I have tried getting epidurals in the back 3 times and didn’t help. So, I went back to the doctor yesterday and he tells me he is going to send me to a surgeon to see about doing a diskectomy. Has anyone ever had this done and how was the outcome of it? How long did it take to get better?

Man that sucks. My dad has degenerative arthritis in the disks in his lower back. He’s going to have surgery soon to have them fused. He’s in bad shape. Definitely praying for you, man!
 
CMC was a Big Frosty special. Take it to the bank. We rain. It’s a step down process from 3” Rain events to partly cloudy skies. Skies should heal by March then we can start talking about next year’s Madookie walapooza
 
One of them NC folks in the NW piedmont, always talks about a March snow , with temps in the single digits!! I don’t punt until March! :)
 
I’m almost 45. We have one kid. Today is his birthday, actually. He’s autistic and has a genetic issue that caused a lot of physical anomalies that resulted in lengthy hospital stays when he was first born. He had to have heart surgery at six weeks, along with a few other procedures. It was a long first year. We were so excited to finally come home from the hospital.

He has a significant conductive hearing loss, but can hear well with hearing aids. He didn’t eat orally until he was 2. We’ve spent 14 years trying to teach him all the things that come normally to most kids, all while trying to work through numerous behavior challenges. My wife homeschools him. She works so hard with him.

He is so capable, if we could ever lick the behavior stuff, which is improving, and move him forward socially, which is also improving. He’s 14 today. It’s an exhausting life, and it’s been a long 14 years.

Being a parent is nothing like I ever imagined the experience would be like. But that’s like a lot of things in life, isn’t it? You deal with the circumstances you have and move forward. It’s all you can do. Anyway, at the end of the day, God is good. Without the strength and peace He has provided to us, we wouldn’t have made it. I’m very blessed to have a son. He’s an amazing boy and he is an amazing testimony to God’s mercy and goodness.
 
I really don't think the GFS knows what it's doing. On the surface it looks similar-ish to recent runs but if you look on H5 in the hour 200's, that ULL/bowling ball is gone.
