Congrats!!!!!

Had emergency L-4/L-5 surgery 3 years ago, crazy pain before surgery, now a numb side of my leg. Neurosurgeon was not a big fan of physical therapy after the surgery. His recommendation was to walk 1 1/2 hours per day. Well here I am 3 years later, relatively pain free when I walk as directed...

It sounds like the ViziLite screening. ViziLite Oral cancer is a sneaky one. My father who has no contributing factors (smoking, drinking, family history) ended up with large B-cell lymphoma of the tongue. He is OK five years later after radiation and chemo therapy. Cancer is an equal...

I just finished listening to "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins. I have recently listened to the following: Blink Collapse Freakonomics In Defense of Food Predictably Irrational Stirring It Up The Alchemy of Finance The Botany of Desire The Tipping Point The World Without Us...

Thanks Laurence, I have worked hard at keeping active (which is what I think is the secret to keeping it off). It has not been easy, but it was more than worth it. I just finally found something physically active that I enjoyed enough to do 3 to 4 times per week. You know, "if you can do it...

newlife06, Good luck with your back rehab. I have had very minimal back pain since I dropped 20% of my body weight. I am not one to recommend surgery, but it was also life changing. the relief was immediate. I couldn't walk, literally, as my disk popped and then hardened around my spinal...

First post on this thread. I have had back surgery for blown out L4-L5 on the leg press machine at the gym. The only physical therapy my neurosurgeon gave me was to walk for 90 minutes a day. I never went to a physical therapist. I muddled along for about a year after the surgery with a numb...

I'm lovin' my flonase. Actually my whole family (wife and kids) all use it. It stinks, but you get used to it. Makes a huge difference in quality of life with minimal to no side effects.

Why would you put any faith into what Bernake says now. If he knew that much he could have seen the train wreck coming and fixed it. I don't think that anyone has a clue where this is going and certainly they don't have a clue on how to correct it. So, if he says that the recession or "recent...

Hey Sam, I know of a private medical school that will virtually guarantee that if you can get in, they will make sure you have access to funds to cover the expense of school (thought they may only be loans). It is not uncommon for new grads to be $300,000 in debt with the three worst words in...

USAA longevity calculator says I will live to 87, MSN says I will live to 97 (I now officially like MSN). I plan on retiring at age 48, so that means I will be getting my pension for 39 or 49 years for only working for 20 years. Looks like tricare for life is gonna get a workout with me. Now I...

Welcome, from another East Mesan. Az is a great place. Sounds like we need some place on the forum to arrange local meetups. I'm at Guadalupe and Crismon. Not retired yet, but 5 years out, so it would be cheap beer and hotdogs. Sonny

Thanks for the congrats! I was lucky to get it on the first go at the O-6 and I am glad it is behind me. I live near a military base, but outside its catchment area so I currently have a private PCP under Tricare Prime Remote. My family is on Tricare standard so they can go to most any...

Howdy everyone, Nords' "Fog of Work" essay reminded me, in much better eloquence than I could express, why I am working so hard now to retire in 5 years, 8 months. I asked this same question about 4 years ago on this forum, but there are many new faces in the crowd now and wanted to see how...

So we are down 48% this year as the worst. Lets say I had $100,000 at the beginning of the year, it would be worth $52,000 now and if we match 1933 for +54% next year I would have $80,080 left. Not much solace in that for me today, that even the best year ever would not help offset the worst...

Great, now the moderators have the real power.:2funny: Alex you need to use the spell check thingy;)

Rich, I'm sure you probably know that the pharmacies sell your prescribing information back to big pharma so they can target their "educational" presentations. So, if you are not prescribing enough Avandia, the Avandia rep will call on your office with educational materials because you would...

Brush and Floss

Igor found a great brain for the replacement, it was from A. B. somebody, oh yes it was A. B. Normal.

Thank you for calling the ER IT helpdesk. How can we be of service? Can you please give me the model number of your computer and the name of the salesman that sold it to you. Can you tell me if the computer is plugged in now? Also, have you located the Power button? Good, now that you have...

Since I heard that OPEC was mad that we are pushing alternative fuels and were going to punish us by cutting production, I voted that the price will be higher than inflation.

I have paid $250 for Trune North in Scottsdale, but the best I have played was Desert Mountain as a guest of a member. Living in AZ, I average $40 to $50 for 18 holes + cart, cheaper in the summer when it is 110 degrees out. I sure get my money's worth!;D
