Every new year is one year closer to eternal

Yet, just as far away from it as the last

Happy birthday Vector, I didn't know you were a Valentine's Baby

I am not, it was a while ago

just finally got around to complaining LOL

Son probably has to get a pin in his arm.  Even after 4 weeks now, the break is still getting wider

Aw that sucks. Hope it will not be nescessary.
Is he having a growth spurt? Could it be his bones are outgrowing their healing rate?

[McTraveller]

Dunno; we're waiting on the recommendation of the surgeon.

[MaximumZero]

I am bummed because of my surgeon. For months, he's been telling me that when we revise my lumbar fusion (for the fourth time, I might add,) we're "going fully bionic." Me, being the tech nerd that I am, assumed that this meant at least a replacement vertebra. You know, given the definition of bionic. He, being of an older generation, used "bionic" as a placeholder term for "robotic enhanced/assisted surgery+ultrasound." I knew that spinal vertebra replacements are essentially bleeding edge, but disc replacements have been around since the 00s.

I just want the pain to end.

We have the technology....

[ChairmanPoo]

This is old info (7-8 years) but back when I was in training the neurosurgeons in my hospital had poor opinions of spinal disc replacement prosthetes

Dont listen to Poo MaximumZero, you will be a wonderful cyborg!

Self quoting is probably a faux pas - but some good news! Surgeon says surgery is not required!  Much relief!

Hey, that's great!  And that seems like a perfectly appropriate use of self-quoting.  Congratulations!

[Frumple]

Here's hoping the surgeon is actually right! Good news if so, surgery sucks.

Portland PD, which claims to be horribly underfunded (none have ever claimed otherwise), was able to somehow afford 12 armed officers to defend a dumpster full of food to make sure poor people can't eat.

[Dunamisdeos]

Ok look, I know Portland/Oregon has a reputation for this kind of thing but

Was it spoiled? Was the food actually spoiled? If it was then this is a story about the police stopping a bunch of fucking dumbasses from being hospitalized after eating a rotten ham out of a goddam dumpster.
