I've been holding off on posting until there was news from the doctor, and then my appointment got rescheduled twice.

All the best. Have missed you.

All the sympathy. I'm having a laminectomy/discectomy on Monday (L4-5, though, not cervical) and am actually looking forward to it because living with the pain has been so exhausting. I hope your PT helps and that you end up with whatever surgery is less invasive.

And if you go to con.txt, I hope you write about it! I'm not far (Balt.), but have never gone. I have always gotten the vibe that it's one of those cons where everybody already knows everybody else; not sure if that's an accurate perception. The possibility of an event being insidery is intimidating to me.

Ugh, you have my mutual sympathy! In my case the neurological dysfunction is more problematic than the pain, and yeah, having that over with would be nice. Good luck on your surgery!

I haven't personally found con.txt very insidery. It's pretty small, I think, but I've always managed to find people to connect with and I really am not that social and don't know that many people (last time I would up in excellent impromptu hockey conversations). I'm up near Aberdeen, so not very far from you, actually.

Ton of time has gone since we've been in touch but I thought of you yesterday; I hope things are well with you.

Best of luck! I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible and has the outcome you want.

Thank you!

Confirmation and a plan are good things! Bone shaving sounds simultaneously scary and weirdly like a Sherlock-kink theme. I hope you have a good recovery.

Thank you!

Oh man, Dex. I'm happy for you? And also not at all? :/

That is a lot to process and prep for and deal with, man.

I hope I can see you at con.txt, so Sky and I can give you (very gentle) hugs.

Happy is good! I knew it was going to end up being something
