Tbh, I think the current state of spinal surgery is crap. I don't know anybody who had good results. I'm working with a pain management doc and keep telling him his job is to protect me from the surgeons. FWIW, I've had good results with epidural steroid injections .

I'm hoping you get a good outcome with rhe wrist surgery.
I've had spine surgery in my neck. 2 disks removed, metal plate with 6 screws. Had injections first but didn't help. I've had 2 injections in my wrist. First one helped a little, second one did nothing.

I'm having surgery on Oct. 1st and I'll be on medical leave for the rest of the year. I'm pretty sure I'm going to officially retire in January. It's takes all I have to make it through a workday nowadays. Even though I don't work that hard anymore, just being on my feet all day really makes my back hurt.
im with you im only 57 and some days at the end of shift i can barely walk

Ammoddict. Similar work on my neck. Nothing removed. But got the strap and donor bone version of it.
Been a couple of decades since. Yours still get that feel like someones sort of choking you when you look down or (try to) turn your head around to back into a parking spot?
Sometimes I get a "phantom" extra toe on one foot. MF-er is always itching.
Real hoot trying to scratch that sucker until you remember that you gotta get up and wiggle your head around to make it go away.

Why would You do that in the first place!?
This is an excellent question! I’d love to know the answer but the old guy who had em did not elaborate 🤷‍♂️.
Man, that sucks. Maybe the corrosion on the plating could be honed off if it didn’t leave pitting
Over 50% of the plating has seperated from the cylinder I can’t recall having ever seen so much plating peel away from a cylinder wall before!

Peppers, the seeds have no heat to them whatsoever!

It is the spongy meat that the seeds grow on that packs the most heat within the entire pepper.

The misconception of seeds being hot comes from people drying the seeds including the core called pith (placenta, ribs).

All that pepper prep to enjoy them for lunch at work, just to be told that the meat stew spoiled but I am allowed to take as much bread as I want.
We get charged for lunch, and the food is catered from a restaurant.

Yes, I am eating dry, but thankfully fresh bread, with Habanero & Thai Chilli peppers. :mad:

Some cheese would be nice with the bread and peppers!
I still like peppers, but my guts just aren't so tolerant nowdays. Sucks to have to trim most of the pith out of them because of it.
Grew up with Cayenne peppers (heirloom seeds back then) and assorted banana peppers and bell. Grandma and Mom always had them planted.

I currently can handle the heat of any pepper & hot sauce I can acquire.
And it doesn't seem to "bother" me the next day on its way out.

The pith is the best part of any pepper, although I prefer the entirety of a pepper never knowing what I'll encounter in terms of heat.

We've got some hot sauce our Aunt in New Mexico gave us, a guy who was here thought he could handle it and ate a whole spoon full. His wife ended up driving home because he couldn't see straight.

Habanero is milder, but has a smell and aftertaste extremely similar to Carolina Reaper.
Much fruitier taste though, possibly due to it being less hot.

I like it, will take some to work tomorrow again.

I found this to be true eating some kind of supercharged habanero that the Bahamians grow. The seeds were no sweat, but the pith… They were so hot that you could hardly get the heat washed out of the blender after making a batch of hot sauce. People down the line would be complaining about how their smoothie they blended was roaring hot.

I got a speech impediment eating a sauce named "The Last Supper" laboratory tested at 850k SHU.

I also ate several Carolina Reaper peppers.

There is a Croatian challenge called "Toxic Burger", I have been considering to apply.
Although some 30 people managed to eat it so it is not that special anymore.
