    To bet installed: bling grill, headlights, fog lights.
    And as far as I’m concerned, they can take off all the safety laws if they mandate strong magnets in every drain plug.

    Horror stories because people are stupid. Never, ever have I ruined a plug.
    There is a trick to it.

    I know that. But I'm still replacing mine when that time comes. $15 seems worth it to me

    Doc this morning told me the opposite of the last one two days ago and said to move as much as I can tolerate. Was able to screen print a shirt for one of our Russian pilot buddys. Machine will take a little learning to get perfect but close enough.

    Specifically these:
    That's how I managed. Layed on a heating pad till I was limber enough to move. Had the wife help stretch my back. Even had her walk on my back sometimes (probably not a good idea). I would sometimes have to do this every day. But I stayed active. I did everything in my power to limit using my back as much a possible though.

    I did everything I could to remain somewhat mobile even if it hurt some. Over time the pain began to subside and slowy the numbness and tingling in my legs lessened. After about a year most of the pain was gone. Took 2 or 3 years for the leg numbness to go away. I would say it ended up at about 98%. To this day I can feel a tiny bit of numbness below my knee in my right leg if stand in one spot for awhile. Nothing I can't easily manage. As for the back itself? 99.8% pain free for many years. It's as if it never happened really.

    The heat makes my back feel unstable. Been icing it up and doing PT stretches. The sciatica down both legs now, numb feet, and tv-static below the knee are maddening but glad to hear a successful-ish healing story. Gives me hope. I had it bulged five years back and it healed back 99% within a few months. Hoping it does the same this time too.
