Momto5, I win the back surgery compitition lol I've had a total of 6 & unfortunately I have to live on very strong pain meds but it I wont let it stop me from learning, I feel your pain (literally) I am learning because it's something I can do sitting down but I need to stand occasionally too so thats when I do my cutting. I am happy that you only need meds occasionally I truly am, keep on keeping on!
