Yes, they have some wonderful and fun features, but they just... I can't deal with the breaking. There's too much and it's too often and too soon and I don't like it.
We weren't planning to celebrate Father's day, but we got a phone call and now we're going up to Boonsboro. Tyler's dad is getting surgery on his spine this coming week.
Laminectomy, I think. To fix
cervical spinal stenosis. You go visit before that.
Sounds like it's basically the same surgery Tyler had when he was 17. (He had
the Lumbar version.) Same surgery he will almost certainly have again in the next decade. (More like the next five years, really.) We don't talk about that much; it's there, we know it, what are you going to do?
Jerry also has a bundle of fused vertebrae, a condition which is -hooray- hereditary. Time to get serious about the yoga, I guess.
Bodies, aging, breaking, dying, getting patched up, degenerating again... I'm over it. I want a better option.
ETA, while I'm bitching: Still not even a fucking third set of teeth. WTF are genetic engineers doing?
