proud of
working like a slave 50 to 70 hours a week
at a job i don't like for a boss i can't stand and
working with other employees i hate
buying things i don't need but think i need
because they are advertised and everyone else
is buying and doing it
spending top dollar, as much money as i can
for the most expensive things i can get




working less than 30 hours a week
meditating
enjoying family, friends, activities, hobbies
carefully watching and considering what i buy
how much money i spend
what i eat, what i drink, what i am putting into my body
not following trends but following myself
anger issues learn to calm yourself
controlling, managing, reducing anger is the most
important thing to do in life
find a job where i don't have to sit or stand for long periods of time
no lifting objects over ten pounds

no stooping

no squatting

doesn't require good vision

can use the bathroom immediately

no mean angry irate rude impolite demanding critical selfish
dictator or authoritarian type violent lying hateful jealous vicious
spiteful people: owners, boss, co-workers, employees, associates

only nice polite courteous congenial friendly loving understanding
empathetic people in work environment

can sit down lie down take a nap put my legs up rest easy to ease the pain
do yoga stretch move around dance circles in hips kick legs up once in awhile

have heat pad and tens unit handy

have hot tub immediately available for as long as i need it

have a masseuse or masseur available for as long as i need it

i would prefer a heterosexual masseuse or a homosexual masseur
as the massage is for health benefits and nothing else

be outside in the open outdoors as much as possible preferably
barefoot and clothed in minimal items such as shorts skirts tankini summer tops
leather sandals if necessary


People cut me off from talking.
He says what I say but I am not heard, not listened to.
He speaks, others listen.
He speaks my words they think it is him and give praise to him not me

Spondylosis: What It Actually Means

Spondylosis: What It Actually Means

Spondylosis: What It Actually Means


Spinal Stenosis Symptoms

The symptoms of spinal stenosis depend on where the stenosis occurs in the spinal canal and how severe it is.
Symptoms caused by compression of the spinal cord are called myelopathy. These can include:
  • worsening balance,
  • falling,
  • dropping objects,
  • difficulty buttoning buttons or picking up small coins, and
  • loss of control of the bowel and/or bladder.
Symptoms caused by compression of the nerves are called radiculopathy. These can include:
  • pain,
  • numbness,
  • tingling, or
  • weakness along the path of the nerve being compressed.
When stenosis develops in the neck (cervical spine stenosis) there can be compression of the spinal cord and the nerves that travel into the arms and hands. This can cause symptoms of:
  • myelopathy,
  • numbness,
  • tingling,
  • weakness or cramping in the arms and hands.
When the stenosis develops in the lower back (lumbar spine stenosis) there is compression of the nerves that travel into the legs and feet. This can cause:
  • pain,
  • numbness,
  • tingling,
  • weakness or cramping in the legs and feet, particularly progressively with walking and being relieved with resting.
These symptoms are sometimes referred to as pseudoclaudication (false blockage) as they mimic the symptoms of inadequate circulation to the legs that is referred to as claudication. Continue Reading

Symptoms of neurogenic claudication

The symptoms of neurogenic claudication are most often felt in the calves, but can present in the hips, buttocks, thighs or feet. The symptoms can include:
  • Pain
  • Aches
  • Cramps
  • Discomfort
  • Fatigue

Treatment options for neurogenic claudication

Typically, conservative, nonsurgical methods of treatment are effective in managing the symptoms of spinal stenosis, including neurogenic claudication. Conservative treatments can include physical therapy, hot/cold therapy, pain medication, exercise and others. The purpose of conservative treatments is to relieve the pressure on the pinched nerve that is causing your pain without surgical intervention.
However, if these symptoms continue despite months of conservative therapy, spine surgery may be your next step for treatment.
At Laser Spine Institute, we allow our patients to approach spine surgery with peace of mind. Our minimally invasive spine surgery allows patients to experience a safer and more effective alternative to traditional open back surgery, while benefiting from shorter recovery times§ and lower risks of infection and complications.
Contact Laser Spine Institute today to see if you are a candidate for one of our minimally invasive spine surgeries to treat your neurogenic claudication. We can review your MRI report or CT scan and help you find the best treatment for your needs.

Work is not work unless you get paid money for doing it

Work is not work unless you get paid money for doing it.
Housework, being there, running errands, taking phone calls for the
significant other means nothing to them.

Many believe the only work worth anything is the job,
the career, what they get paid money for doing.

Taking unpaid housework for granted is wrong
