fair warning guys im loaded on pain meds from a back fusion.. and just as i recall when i was addicted to opioids many many decades ago, that pain relief can come with an unholy cost. glad i (just barely) beat it then. hope to beat it again and be off the opioids in a few more days.
so who knows what degen thoughts may leak out into any post i may or may not make in the next few days.
Very sorry to hear and can relate..
Take care and get well soon!
