Thanks, Maynard. I have scoliosis (curvature, caused by arthritis, I think), not stenosis. I'll check out the local Walmart and try out the Gold's Gym model.

Does anyone here have experience with these? I'm exploring the possibility of buying one. Comfort is a high priority. I'm a big guy. Also high on my wish list: lumbar support, adjustablility (for my 6'4" frame, as well as workout level), "reasonable" price.

I definitely have enough blubber to maintain my core temperature in the icy waters of San Francisco Bay. I'm a very good buoy.I have to find a way to get into the water (swim)
jack lalane swam from Alcatraz to "The City" that would be a good start--not poking fun at you, just trying to be mildly amusing.

I think I need to get serious about losing weight and getting in better shape. Difficult to do when you can't stand or walk without pretty intense pain. Maybe I can get another epidural soon. Those help for 4-6 weeks.
I have to find a way to get into the water (swim) and a recumbent bike (real or stationary).

Weeeell...The new orthopedist said there's nothing he can do to help me.

There's a train track less than 1/2 mile from my house. If I hop on board, will I eventually end up in Hope??

Getting ready for a colonoscopy?Dusting off the stools and keeping things open.
Steve, sorry to hear about your family's health troubles. I'm hoping all goes well. It's frustrating and agonizing not being able to do anything about it yourself!
-
Yeah, Bob knows everything!

volume and your country tax system.
The US (my country) charges more for packages from Australia than, say, Japan? Or did you think I'm Australian?
-
Why does it cost so dang much to ship to the US from Australia? It just always seems waaaaay more expensive, more than any other country.

I think he may have listed the specs for H3s...

I'll teak a break myself (although this thread has been very poplar).
I don't think Amy would shut this down, but Trey might. I'd hate to see hemlock it.
Yeah, we don't want to be left in the larch.If they did lock this down, they'd have to explain their reasoning, so I'd cedar point.

Fini, that's just plane wrong!
Really? I thought I nailed it.
That's knot the impression I got.
Well, there's no reason to be a birch about it.

Sorry for being such an ash. I'm slightly ripped.

Chernobyl surprisingly was not that bad.
Not for the average guy in the US...or so it seemed.

The main thing I remember was looking over at the Dr. and wondering why he chose this specialty.
Lots of openings in that field.

Good memory, Josh! I think she liked 'em, but I don't know how it turned out. BTW, she and two of her friends will be back with us in February! We'll have to plan more experiments...

36 hours of fasting
Really, that would be the hardest part for me, considering I don't want to think about the actual procedure.
Never had one yet.
I only fasted for a day. Actually had a regular breakfast the day before, with clear liquids (beef broth, soda, jello, etc.) the rest of the day. I could have really caused a stir by eating fresh beets...

well, you guys convinced me....I have been ducking the proceedure for a few years....now age 53....main reason for ducking it is I'm one of theose folks that pass out at the smell of a band aid or the rubbing alcohol used to prep an area for blood work.
Good for you! Have your doc prescribe some anti-anxiety meds to take beforehand. Have enough Valium and you'll feel like you could do the colonoscopy all by yourself. Seriously, if that's what it takes to get you to go do it, I'm sure the doc will have no problem prescribing it.

Get a colonoscopy at 50 years old...The worst part is the "prep"...Colonoscopies can prevent cancer. Turns out it's all good advice, all true. Well, I had my first one last week (at age 56!), and yes, the prep is indeed the worst part (that crap tastes terrible). The rest is, well, restful. Not painful, not embarassing. Going into it, I knew these were, or would be, true. The last one, about colonoscopies preventing cancer, I didn't understand. I thought they meant they could catch cancers early, and be able to treat them in early stages. But no, they can really prevent cancer.
After the procedure, the doctor came into the recovery room and told me that they found and removed three polyps, and that they would be sent off to the lab. He also mentioned I was cancer-free (a good thing). A few days later I got a call from the doc's office. One of the polyps had pre-cancerous cells which, if not removed, can become cancerous (after many years). So, with this simple exam, the doctor may have indeed prevented cancer from developing in my colon! As you might imagine, I felt pretty good about all this.
After an "all clear" exam, generally they want to see you in another 10 years. In my situation, they want me back in 5 years. No problemo. I now understand how important it is.
And of course, I recommend this procedure to all of you guys over 50. It's real important. I understand colon cancer is a lot worse than drinking some bad-tasting bowel prep.

LOL! Larry, did you by some strange chance see last week's South Park?
