I'm sitting in the living room, just reading on here, when Ava comes down stairs and is dressed as a pink poodle. I bought this costume after Halloween on sale, for her to wear this coming Halloween.

Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things. Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!

It reminds me of the movie "Christmas Story". Ralphie gets pink bunny pj's from his aunt and is forced to wear them by his mother.![]()
