Surgically, if the disk is bulging, they can shave it. Teppy had that, I think.
The surgeon removed part of the bulging discs, but there's still some intact in there.
I've heard epidural steroid injections are pretty effective for bulging discs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Babybon is very good-- he's not sleeping through the night, but his sleep hygiene is pretty good. He just learned social smiling, which is so gratifying, I can't even say. He is getting more expressive lately, making more varied sounds. Very cute.
And we are buying a house! After six months of hunting we close in three weeks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Already with the social smiling! Wow!
And congrats on the house

Because books.
Whoo! That's a lot of good stuff, bon. Social smiling is very gratifying -- I think that's when they start to become less helpless yet demanding creature and more actual human being.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dag, bon -- living the dream!
Jesus, ita, like you needed one more thing! Can you just get adamantium replacement parts for everything?

PS: I would be interested in more pictures of BonBob, Jr.

I'm glad the steroids helped, ita, and I hope they keep working for a good long while.

YES, also what Jesse said! Very much so.

Plus Bob got tenure, which we literally found out one hour after putting in the offer-- thankfully since the house is in the same suburb as his school. Sorry for absconding with All The Luck, guys!
I have tons of pics but I'm always afraid of littering facebook with the scourge of your-kids-are-not-as-cute-as-you-think-they-are. But I will post one for you!

I feel like up to one picture/video per day in the first year of life is fine!
Congrats to Bob!!
