That doesn't sound like much fun. Heal quickly and completely.

I remember my first exposure to “Go Lightly”. I was working a Saturday night ER shift at Harborview and getting a short report on the various patients in the various “rooms”. In one of the bigger Trauma rooms there were 2 little Asian guys in their mid to late 20’s handcuffed to the gurney….as I recall they were Thai. In a stainless “bowl” were several walnut sized or slightly larger balls and on the X-ray screen their X-rays showed they had a few more to pass before being hauled off to jail. Those little dudes had swallowed heroin balls wrapped in condoms and tried to smuggle it into the country in their stomachs. I don’t know how they were tipped off and found it but I’ll never forget the ER Doc laugh while telling me that they were giving them a drip of Go Lightly but unfortunately they were going everything but lightly. 😂
PS…Best of luck to you with your surgery.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind words, and prayers.
Expulsions have pretty much died down.
Now, just drinking chicken broth, and eating Jello.
Not a big drinker, so clear liquids of the alcohol type isn't gonna happen.
Got things together, and contact info for the wife in case things don't go as planned.
You all are a great bunch here !

How did you injure your back in such a spectacular way?
military related
Hold my beer related
Sports related
Vehicle crash
Or just crappy gene pool?

Only have to drink a third of the jug of fun !
Back surgery tomorrow is scheduled from 07:30 am to 16:00.
Had to start clear liquids this morning, and drink from the jug.
Let's see how this goes today !! Clear liquids? You mean like vodka? Yeah I'm on that too. Haha exactly what i was thinking and doing

How'd I get in this mess ?
Well, best guesses, I wore out.
20 years driving a rig up truck on terribly maintained dirt roads, could be one way, or maybe because I'm a pretty big guy, thinking I was superman one too many times, or ?
Got fixed 3 years ago we'll say, and the old saying is, you'll blow out above or below a fusion some day.
Delivering heavy freight for FedEx freight may have just brought it on sooner ?
Don't really know ?
Disc's are deflated, and or gone, vertebrae moving around causing cysts in with my spinal cord, pressing against nerves, etc.
I'm fixable the doc says....
All I know is, I haven't slept, laying down, in my bed, in over a year.
The recliner, in the livingroom has been my bed so to speak.
Any tests, mri, ct scan, were done with me sedated, so I could lay flat, and not be in pain.
Life has been pretty much on hold for about 14 months.
Went out on short term back in March.
MRI showed a big kidney stone stuck between my kidney, and bladder.
Docs wouldn't touch me til it was cleared out.
Urologist had to go in twice to get it all.
Got cleared, but had to wait because multiple doctors are involved, so everything had to be coordinated.
Thank God or oxycodone !
Tomorrow is the day I get fixed, and move on with life.
There it is pretty short.
Guys, watch your back. This has been a rough 15 months. You don't want to go through this....

Good luck. I've had it mild, just compressed S1, S2, L1, L2, L3. No reflex in the right heel. Little limp. Another guy named Mark. Slipped off metal steps from a job trailer on to block steps.
I think a busted about a half dozen blocks when I hit.
