welp. c6 and c7 fractured. no blood vessel or ligament or spinal cord damage. sounds like about as simple/basic surgery as possible to insert a ti plate in between and then stabilize w/small plate and screws. best of a bad situation? surgery at 11.
Job Stuhlman?
I seem to find myself in the tenuous position of liking about 99% of the people in my life, be they neighbors or coworkers. My coworkers, by and large, are friendly, approachable, and competent. My neighbors, with the exception of the people next door who I've never met despite having lived there for 2 years, are all awesome. What an idyllic situation.
Not sure whether to dislike or like.
What the fuck did I miss? Good luck with surgery!
Edit: Nevermind, I saw it in yesterdays GMT. Sounds like 13 year old better be getting mom a hell of a Mothers Day present!

@jstuhlman good to hear things are "good". Could be worse etc. Hope everything goes smoothly!
Do some demand management training at work. Snooze....
On that same note, someone brought up creating a report and adding the request to our demand system. I spoke up and said it'll be quicker to make the power bi report, than it will to enter the request into the system. We should just do it..... Got told it should be added anyways...fuck

YO. I was up at 5:00 and hit the high school track for a 9 mile run workout, piled on top of a hard bike workout last night. Now I'm

Morning Monkeys.
Cold, rain, work. Not much to like there, but a personal package for me was delivered at work, so that is one reason to go in this morning.
The wife and I managed to figure out we will have been married 9 years this year. We both thought we were at year 7. Thank God Google timestamps my pictures.

Our 24th anniversary in this coming Monday, been together for 26
Jeezus, @jstuhlman... ++vibes for your wife for quick recovery. 
Missed that. Hang in there and good luck!
My first was 2 years, my second was almost 10. Then tried again for almost 2. This one's for keeps. We both laugh about "wouldn't it have been funny had we met when we were both at Intel in '94?" But the reality is we both went through what we went through to be the people we are. It probably wouldn't have worked back then.
Mechanic coming today to have a look at the forklift. Could be a few things causing the issue, figured might save me a little instead of me just throwing parts at it.
Another nice looking day so far.
Is it @HardtailHack ??

0430, here these days. Which is an astonishing improvement over the 0320 I was getting up at just a few months ago.
Same, girl. Same.
Sorry to hear, glad it wasn't worse.

Dogs fed and walked by 5:15, out the door at 5:45, in the door at 6:30. I usually take my first smoke break around 8-8:30 depending on meetings. I usually leave by noon so I am home for my 1:30 daily meeting. But we are starting an all hands in office day once a sprint (3 weeks). So I will be WFH 2 days a week starting next week.
damn, completely missed this too... I thought it was the kid, but it's your wife... fuckin' shit. glad to hear nothing's severely damaged. Fingers crossed the hardware doesn't cause undue pain down the road... hit the PT as hard as you can, as soon as you can.

on that note, I have started treatment with a new PT for my back pain. She did some dry needling in my back yesterday morning. it was a first for me. pain came on pretty strong late in the day, but I went for a quick ride anyways. I've found that the best cure for my back pain is physical activity, usually lying down makes it worse. Definitely feel more limber and loose this morning. hopefully it helped?

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the surgery is for his wife.
internal fixation generally isn't used on pediatric / juvenile patients.
yes. responded before I read yesterday's post. I have now edited my post...
and in retrospect, I think you are correct, my buddy's kid recovered without fixation, just the corset. I guess kids' bodies are still growing at that age, and can actually heal the bones?
bingo. skeletal growth is not finalized. that isn't to say its never used, just rarely. and only if ex-fix isn't a viable option.
when senility comes with pleasant feelings to all then it's fortunate indeed
/me is wfh. going to urgent care to get my man-cold checked out/tested.
healing vibes to your wife after her ACDF, jstuhlman.
my guy at the local beer store offered me a free hat for some seltzer brand yesterday. i look at him like, have i ever bought hard seltzer from you?
Try fitting a new fromulator. If you want some extra HP, get one with mauve striping.

Smoke break. 
I will say the construction traffic has gotten silly. I'm pretty sure it will be worse when they are done and it's full of jackasses.

So, it’s been one year since my dad died. In a very touching memoriam, he has been given a permanent chair at the British Museum. This is huge honor, especially being a yank.
“A Major Award!” (As they said in A Christmas Story.) They flew my mom over to preside over the ceremony.
Sorry to brag on my Dad, but he was truly a giant among his peers in Academia.
And beloved for his humility.
