    Spondylolisthesis

    whooopeeeeeeeeeeee, i am finally a member of a gang of like minded people called "Spondy's ",,,,,,Now i am sorry i joined them,,My MRI scan reckons,MY L5-s1 vertabra has broken away from my spine,and as my doctor put it "is squishing my spinal cord "..Anyway, at least that explains why the pain travels from the base of the spine to the bottom of my feet,,it does not explain how i can be in top hospital cover,and still owe 10,000 dollars after my good doctor finishers knifing and drilling and screwing me,,,in more ways than one it seems,,,to finish with, i vacuumed our apartment for the wife this morning,and that put me flat on my back,,,But every cloud has a sliver lining,,when i lay flat on my back,,,NO PAIN,,as of yet,,,always nice talking gals and guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Most Amercian black guys use the word bro first- - - in the 70s.. Then the white guys started copying them. Now the word bro is passe' and it's been replaced with brah to mean brother.

    Gotta leave that vac alone Terry.Get yourself a Roomba robot.

    No Roomba Tom,,Some of these 2 year old comments and answers are interesting to see where things are at,at a later date..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

    I've had spondeleithsis since I was in my 20s, b/c I used to to a lot of heavy lifting as a nurse. They said I never should have had a lifting job, b/c I was born with an extra vertebrae, that is  1/2 a vertebrae.I was born with it. They call it a transitional vertebrae. It makes my other vertebrae tip forward and over- lap wrong .
