Absence from forum

[KyushuCalanthe]

Hey folks, just dropping in real quick to let you all know I'm still alive. I usually am a daily visitor of slippertalk, but recently my back has had other ideas. Sitting at a computer for more than say 10 minutes is pain beyond the call of duty :rollhappy: Over the years two of my lower vertebral discs (L4 & L5) have become herniated - just too much fun as a younger man. So, keeping up with you people (a hundred posts a day?) is presently impossible.

Don't be fooled though, as the Terminator said, "I'll be back." :evil:

Absent you may be, but not forgotten. Get well Tom!

 

[Kavanaru]

hey, take care and time to get well... discal hernias are not fun, and not to be ignored!! (speaking from my own experience: I just had a surgery for a bad hernia in L5-S1 and am still dealing with post-surgerie issues)

 

[li'l frog]

Ah, 4 & 5, the nemesis of all who walk upright! Do the strengthening exercises, they do help.

 

[goldenrose]

Sorry to hear that Tom - wish you the best!

Kavanaru hope you're proceeding as well as can be expected!

 

[SlipperKing]

We have missed your comical comments Tom! Get a wireless keyboard and lay down!

 

[paphioboy]

Get well soon!

 

[Hera]

Miss your wicked humor, get well soon ok...:evil:

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Gets some good rest and be back soon!

 

[cnycharles]

laaptoop, laaaaaaaaptoooooop.............. (and recline )

[SlipperFan]

I wondered how you and your back were doing -- as you can see, Tom, we missed you. Please get well. Back problems are no fun, and seem to worsen as we get older. Darn!

 

[JeanLux]

I wish you all the best Tom!!!! Hopefully you are fit enough to care for your plants!!!! Jean

Back issues can be nasty, ongoing issues. Here's hoping for at least reprieve from the pain.

 

[Jorch]

Get well soon!! We're gonna miss you while you are 'away'

 

[Clark]

So I guess this means you won't be by this weekend to help paint???

Get well soon!

 

[biothanasis]

I hope you get better as soon as possible!!!!!

 

[NYEric]

Sorry to hear about your ailment, get well soon.

 

[likespaphs]

hope you feel good soon!

 

[jblanford]

Get well soon Tom, we'll be waiting for your return.... Jim.

 

[fundulopanchax]

The problem is that you are just not old enough! Another 10 years and you will have so much calcification that you will be stiff but not nearly so painful.

Get well!
