Geeez its like a reunion around here. I havent been on in months either.
Bro im so sorry to hear about the back issues... i can totally understand and went througj the same thing almost to a T
Had back surgery a couple of years ago. It takes time but the nerve pain does calm down and gets to a point where u learn to adjust. I was much better after the surgery but never the same. Last year i tore my labrum (hip) and ended up having surgery in december.... as luck would have it the discs that where repair during my back surgery all re-herniated and now im being told by 3 different surgeons that i need a multi level spinal fusion, sucks but it could always be worse.
Tip: ask your dr about these medications (cymbalta and gabapentin) they actually help, takes some time but they really do help with the nerve pain.
Oh yeah i converted to sumps because as you stated lugging cans around wasnt an option.
Good luck man and keep us updated
Hey buddy ! How ya been... life kicking my butt rigjt now but had to pop in and see what u guys were up to
Now im the one that is busy getting ready for my second kid, but life is good, second kid will be a blessing.
Glad I'm done. My kid is all grown and moved out. I cant even imagine raising kids now, you guys have lots of work ahead but all worth it.
My first one just hit 3 yrs old and this boy loves fish already, his already asking me for his own tank and im planing to give him a 40g breeder for starters, just dont have an idea what fish ill put in it. Hope my new daughter will like fish to so i have a good excuse to get more tank, lolz

, sorry to here about all the things you have been going through.Surgery and limited range of motion can be really scary, but glad to hear you are recovering. It takes a strong person to play it safe with the injuries, particularly for the spine. If you can, definitely make the time and investment for an experienced physical therapist (who has experience dealing with spine surgeries like yours). As an athlete, I've gone through physical therapy 4 times, for limited ROM and ongoing pains from sprains. Finally, I found a PT who challenged me and MOST IMPORTANTLY worked me up to functional exercises (squating, raising my arms overhead, deadlifting, etc). He specialized in recovering athletes, go figure. So don't be afraid to ask for what you need!
With the right kinds of movements and recovery, you should be able to play with your daughter in no time. Just be patient, my friend. I know it sucks right now, but health is most important. Plus you can always go back into the hobby at a later date.
P.S. I live in North Central Florida and could potentially rehome the polys, if you are still looking to do that. Let me know.
You starting to get the polysyndrome, lolz
