It's funny you posted this KBear - just this morning I woke up and thought - this feels like it's getting better...hmmm...but I know if it is a little better it's only temporary and I'm still walking with a stick up my butt. So surgery Oct. 7.

LMAO- This is exactly what I tell people it feels like! Never heard anyone else use that analogy but me.... great minds think alike. I tell people it's as if there is a large rod crammed up my rear and someone is shaking the base of it, like I'm on a puppet stick! That and someone else it taking sandpaper up and down my spine.... when I find these people who are doing this to me, I'm gonna kick their rear! LOLOriginally Posted by roomba
