Welcome back. There's a lot of new members since you were last on, including me. I look forward to hearing more from you about your experiences, good or bad. I reckon you can find some substitute words to use for your jokes, so keep them coming.

Wow, Stever, a blast from the past. Boy have you had a tough go of if. Like Joyce said, a lot of us go through a hiatus here, just glad you have returned. Now that you are back and can talk about it, let us help you now.
Looking forward to your jokes again.

I have metal in my lower back and like you, weak at top. I use a walker and it helps. I also use a back brace and that helps too. Surgeon told me to keep using it if it helps me stay upright. He told me how to use my walker better as well. Lean on your arms and try to keep the back straight. I haven't been on the boards as long as some of you but I had A.S. from age 28-32 went into remission and came out again a few years ago. 54 years old now. Thankful for the break to raise my kids but the progression is trucking right on over me wee little body!
