What? No! You must be confused. It has been explained to me many many times that being chonky causes every problem and being slim means you’re healthy and your body works great all the time.
Right? I, the chonk, with a family history of heart disease and a personal history of back surgery, am watching in utter confusion as my svelte (and genuinely metabolically healthy) husband has both heart and back surgery. It's honestly funny, though I try not to laugh *at* him, since he's the one getting his Frequent Surgery card punched a little too often.
I guess maybe I got my surgery out of the way early? So go me?
Also — and this is 100% true — my brother had surgery today to repair the Achilles tendon that he completely tore [pause while everyone cringes in sympathetic pain] when his dogs got out 10 days ago and he chased them. The good news is, they got the dogs back within 45 minutes. Also his surgery went well, but apparently the recovery is loooooong. Like, measured in months. And he, too, has to have back surgery, because he's been in terrible pain for about 6 months, but that's been delayed because of his incredible shredded Achilles.
Which is why I don't run.
Poor Tim. I hope the surgery is easy
Apparently surgery for scoliosis is not easy, because they have to do a shit-ton of repairing and aligning and, I don't know, welding? in the lower spine. The doctor said 3-5 days in the hospital (which Tim is a pro at by now) and then 3-6 months of recovery at home before he can return to work. The 3-6 months is mostly to protect his healing back; he should honestly be back to taking walks and such probably within the first month. I fucking well hope he can entertain himself after that initial month or so, because post-surgery caretaking and Covid quarantine have taught me that I will stab a bitch if he gets underfoot too much.
Oh damn, good luck to both of you!
Well, I’m glad it’s fixable, even if the recovery is long.
Yikes, that sounds like a lot. Good luck!
Oof, that sounds tough for Tim, but there is a bright side to getting past it. He's a hiking, woodsy, tramping about type.
Timelies all!
Good luck to Tim and to you, Steph.
Oh, man, that is a lot. All good vibes your and Tim's way.
Finally had my pie! Got a slice of blueberry pie with lunch, but the rest of my lunch was too filling so I figured I’d eat it when the inevitable mid afternoon munchies struck, but they did not! So I just had it for dinner. Yum.
