Loading ...Before you get back surgery, let me know what you’re having done. I would never recommend getting fused. At least never as the first option.
I would exhaust every other avenue first, they have less invasive ways to create space between your vertebrae than to fuse them, if that’s your problem.
Alex – thanks for that. I think I’ll try the raw chicken with my dog. His digestive system is a mess.
and feeds only raw chicken to them . One required surgery . The lady vet had an issue with feeding raw chicken , until noticing the dog had healed in days , not weeks . Now the vet is a raw meat advocate .
I am told that when a pack makes a kill , the pack holds back until the lead dog/wolf gets to eat first , and invariably goes for organ meat…liver . I was dog-sitting last year while a good friend was hospitalized . I am in the habit of going to a local restaurant on Tuesdays when they have a liver and onions special . I asked the server to have the kitchen set aside about a quarter of my order raw and cut up for the dog. When I put a piece in the dog’s dish , she took it out an dropped it on the kitchen floor . After eating her usual kibbles , her inquisitiveness took over and tasted it tentatively . When she had finished , I dropped another piece in her dish and she virtually inhaled it . She is very intelligent and knew the little container was in the fridge , so every time I got near it , she would come running , begging for more raw beef liver . The owner still goes with kibbles , etc. but when I visit , the dog comes running to greet me , hoping for more of ‘the good stuff’ .
U just reminded me, my Mom used to make food for her cats, they all did pretty well.

A bad hip can mess up your back and knees from trying to avoid the hip pain. I was afraid I was going to lose my knees to arthritis as well as the hip. Since I got the hip replaced my knees have straightened out with ‘normal’ walking now and no longer pain me. My back has always been ‘iffy’ but I have learned to take care of it.
Get your hip done, ASAP! Some minor stretching muscles for preparation, but it is a major muscle insult. Recovery is three types of pain: Damaged bone, damaged nerves, and damaged muscles. I got celecoxib (Celebrex) for the bone pain. Gabapentin for the nerve pain. Those two were eased in about two weeks post-Op. Muscles got tylenol and icing packs for weeks. Major stretching bruising, and some muscle tearing that takes 10 weeks to fully mend with rehab work. But it is absolutely worth it!! My brother took a video of me just walking… he said he had not seen me walk straight like that in three or more years!
My ‘new’ leg is about 1 cm longer now… just enough to be annoying with a ‘step up’ feel and my hips are not level. I compensating by gluing another sole onto my everyday slippers here in Hawaii. Found some ‘Lift’ inserts for my shoes that are rarely worn here. Ortho doc was impressed with my homebrew slipper sole, and it works perfectly! I’ve walked a mile with it and no back pain.
I had back pain often since I started working. Long story, I read a small book, Mind Over Back Pain, by Dr. Sarno, and my back never bothered me again, until we found out my wife had cancer.
We were rushing for an appointment with the surgeon. But before we left I picked something up and suddenly bad back pain. I told myself there is nothing structurally wrong with my back, so in pain I got to the car and by the time we got there, the pain was gone.
I might be next on the list. My doctor said one of my hips is severely messed up and needs surgery and my back very severe. He asked if I’m in pain. I told him well I try not to think about it. He looked back at the x-ray and results and turned around and said sternly your back is severe, now just how bad is the pain?! I told him well actually it can get pretty bad cuz I don’t take anything for it. That I’ll need surgery and asked him to hold off so I can get prepared. He told me not to wait too long he’s afraid I’m gonna get too weak and it’s not gonna do me any good.

Where do you live?
Anywhere sort of between Fla and smoky mountains? I’m going up there last week in Oct.
Thanks for the info, I agree, no more vets and shots for new pets. In fact if I had a dog or cat I would NOT give it pet food, just people food.
My daughter in law had a lab, that was getting old and not moving sleeping a lot, and the vet said it was dying and had a short time to live. I told her STOP giving the dog, dog food.
She started giving it chicken and other people food and the dog got better and lived a few more years. She has two labs and feeds them very well. Lets face it, if we won’t eat dog food, why give it to the poor dog?
Re Cats and Vaxx
RFK Jr was asked by Trump , this week in a cabinet meeting, How are we going on the Autism investigation, as 70 yrs ago Autism was 1 in 10,000…now in California, it is 1 in under 20 !!!!!….we have to get to the bottom of this…said Trump……
RFK jr said there is going to be a huge announcement early September/mid…good said Trump……
All hell is liable to break lose……as the odds are it is the Vaccines causing the Autism…….
Tell yr son to get a stray/wild cat and do not vaxx it, apart from cat flu and then only once …..Private equity owns most Vets and they put up all the charges, that force vets to vaxx/treat as much as poss, to cover the costs……
Are they really going to try to close the HUI above 500?
Strength 💪
They are nothing but wealth absorbing consumer products that we don’t really need. When I was born we only got a small pox shot. Now between birth and six years, now a days its many more.
Even the poor cats get over vaccinated. My son brought home a kitten, they took it to the vet, he got numerous shots and within two months he got sick and died.
Vaccines today:
National security. RFK jr needs to do the same thing with racketeering, bioweapons and fake vaccines, not pulled from the market and find who’s weaponizing them.
Why do they target the kids?

Every. Single. Time.
my utility bill has never been more than my mortgage. there never was a mortgage. i bought my house at the sawmill and put it together myself in the ’80s. 🙂
(…actually several sawmills, plus some masonry, plumbing, wiring, roofing, nails etc)
Both world wars raised concerns in Congress about subversive threats to the nation. As tensions rose between the United States and the Soviet Union following World War II, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) conducted prominent hearings to investigate allegations that communists disloyal to the United States had infiltrated the government, the entertainment industry, and other organizations. While critics complained that HUAC’s investigations trampled on citizens’ rights, supporters believed the committee’s actions were justified, given threats to national security at the time.
… has your electricity bill ever been more than your mortgage? …
Life is changing fast with the likes of the scum at Blackrock snapping up utilities with your money and then turning this around on you with exploding rates … and just wait until you get your water bill too as all utilities are being privatized by fascist big money interests who own DC.
Sure … everybody should have the right to compete for business in a free society … but unfortunately the game is rigged by these corporate vultures who buy up all the corrupt politicos in DC and down the line … removing any such visions of ever living a ‘normal life’ again unless these animals are put back in their cages.
Crabby again today watching all this … good thing PM’s are doing better.

SLV on deck? Dollar slowly giving up the gains.
Mr. Copper- yes, they’ve been undermining the country for decades and getting away with it while lining their pockets and selling us out to China and others.
The question is whether this administration stops it and turns things around.
We all know how a soldier is allowed to kill other people as they do their job and they don’t get in trouble.
I think its a similar situation with the deep state flunkies that have been doing the shadow gov’ts job to beat down economically the USA and help all the other countries prosper. Global socialism or globalization.
Remember Eric Holder, and so many others from the past getting away with anti USA things. Sen Joe McCarthy was right.
nothing to cry about, especially with the dollar jumping and the 10 yr. up 3 bips. It’s been such a different market this year than the ones we endured for 14 years. Things have been a lot worse. It’s refreshing to have some strength instead of hoping for some and being disappointed. It’s been a very long road.
Oil up near 1% now.
Ipso and Deer79 – yup 🙂

IMO the people running Cracker Barrel are not the type people who go there to eat … it’s not frou frou enough for them.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m tired of hearing politicians pounding the table and spouting off about the corrupt Liberals.
I would like to see them being held accountable!!!!
