Currently I am recovering from spinal fusion back surgery which was March 18th. I am trying like crazy to follow Dr restrictions on what I should and should not be doing. Lifting no more than fifteen pounds, is difficult as I want to hold my grandbabies but have been following, bending however is proving very difficult. How do you retrain a 53 yr old brain to suddenly Not do things you have done your entire life? I have been warned that this is my final stop before a wheelchair which is a terrifying thought. Please pray for me, still quite a bit if pain but am improving quickly and nearly off the painkillers and back to my CBD and Ibuprofen 800mg and muscle relaxer only. Desperately wanting to quickly eliminate anything potentially addicting.

Curcumin, not curcurmin. ;)
Yeah, that, typo
Prayers for you, Callmejuls. May the Lord bless you with fast and complete healing, patience to endure this frustrating interim period and joy in discovering some less physical activities you might find interesting until you're back to 100%. 🙏 Tell your grandchildren that you're saving up those hugs and get to hug them twice as much after you get back to full mobility.
I apologize for spell-checking one of our spell-checking anons and I hope it didn't upset you. No offense was intended to you. I did pray for you and will continue to do so.
Thank you.
Oh, also, quite often When I am typing fast, my keyboard sticks and many letters don’t register, resulting in typos.
I wasn't commenting on your typo, friend, but on the person who was trying to correct your typo.
I'd started reading down this thread as I thought it was nice that someone was providing some holistic remedy that might be worth trying (and you'd already been using), and thought it was a tad inappropriate to be correcting spelling under the circumstances - and then I'd noticed the anon spelled the correction incorrectly!
I personally welcome people to correct my mistakes (and Greekish is very good with spelling, usage and grammar), but if I was in pain from an operation and anguished over even temporary/partial loss of closeness with grandchildren, I don't think I'd welcome the corrections at the time. For me, in most cases, I'm happy to skip over misspellings as long as I can understand what the person is trying to relate. I just couldn't resist correcting the correction - and for that I apologize. I wasn't intending to slide the topic or offend anyone.
My prayers for you and your family for good health and happiness. ✝️
