Spondylolisthesis, explained by a patient

"Spondylolisthesis, explained by a patient
Spondylolisthesis is a typical progression from spondylolysis (a stress fracture on a vertebra) if left untreated.Spondylolisthesis is the forward slippage of a spinal vertebra from its correct position. When this occurs, it is in the lumbar area (the lower back) usually from overuse--it can also be from trauma, a birth defect, or a degenerative condition. Genetics can also play a role, as those with a narrow vertebral bone are more prone to this condition.

Metal rods and screws are used to brace and protect the fusion.

It is common to have this condition with no symptoms and it is usually found and diagnosed while a doctor is looking at x-rays for an unrelated problem. Symptoms may include: lower back pain, stiffening of the back, tingling or numbness down the legs. Spondylolisthesis can compress the nerves, cause a significant amount of pain, and also cause a patient to have trouble with the bladder and bowels.X-rays are necessary to diagnose spondylolisthesis, and also tell a doctor if it is the fifth or the fourth lumbar vertebra. A CT scan or MRI might also be necessary to see if there will be additional risks to the nerves. The most mild treatment is to take it easy for a while and allow it heal; ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory can help with the pain. Moderate treatment could include a backbrace, physical therapy, and stretches and strengthening of the back. Extreme treatment would be surgically fusing the vertebra. It is common for the surgeon to use titanium rods and screws to brace and protect the fusion, which is both good and bad. The good is that it does protect the fusion very well; the bad is that it makes it a little more difficult to recover. Some tasks might need to be relearned, but it is better than the alternative."

I posted this as a hub on hubpages.com, and also bubblews.com but I also wanted to share it here. Here, I can talk more in-depth about my personal experience, rather than just sticking to the facts.

I had chronic back pain almost my whole life. I can't remember a time in my childhood without it. Every time I complained about my back pain, my mom would take me to the doctor. They checked me for scoliosis more times than I can count. The degree of curvature from scoliosis was too small to cause much discomfort. So we kept playing the back-and-forth game and I finally ended up with an answer, thanks to my mother's persistence.

I was in the 6th grade when I was diagnosed with Sheurman's Hyperkyphosis and also Spondylolisthesis. I've heard that Kyphosis can make Spondylolisthesis much more likely, but I don't know if that is completely true. I was diagnosed by the doctors at Nebraska Spine Specialists. The Kyphosis was obvious from the x-rays, and since the degree of curvature was significant, I wore a backbrace to try to reduce it. I was in my brace for a few months when a group of doctors went over my x-rays together. Then we got a call that changed my life. It's sort of a blur but this is what I remember.
We went to an appointment as a family, and the doctor told me I didn't have to wear the brace anymore. He told us it was very important that I have surgery as soon as possible because it would only get worse, until I was paralyzed from the hips down.

I had surgery, I had no say in it but in retrospect that's a very good thing. My parents spent 10 days in the hospital with me. I had two operations, one to correct each condition. Three vertebrae are left unfused in the middle of the fusions, and eventually I will have to have those fused also because they will be over-used. The doctor didn't tell us that part before the operation, and it has caused some bitterness in my life due to the risks I will have to take for third time when I'm under the knife. I almost bled out on the table during one of the operations. Luckily they were able "recycle" some of the blood that I lost. I was freezing the whole time I was in the hospital and kept having heated blankets piled on me. They suggested that I have a blood transfusion, but my mother was afraid that the blood might not be tested enough and that there was a chance I could catch something from it. I wonder, though, how severe my blood loss woukd have ro have been for her to consent. I learned later that I should have gone and donated blood for myself sometime before surgery. My parents both gotten tattoos in the year before I had surgery so they were unable to give me blood.
I was on a morphine drip and slept a lot, the morphine burned every time I hit the button so eventually I stopped and my mother would press it while I slept. I didn't eat for 10 days, but the nurse said that was normal. I drifted in and out of sleep and sometimes I didn't recognize the people that came to visit. I didn't want visitors, it was too hard to concentrate. 

Recovery was a bitch. I was taller suddenly, from a straight spine. I had also dropped 20 pounds from my body cannibalizing itself while I was in the hospital. I had a really hard time balancing, if it had been only one surgery it would have made things a whole lot easier. It takes roughly 8 months for the fusion to heal, I had to slowly spend more and more time at school. They froze my grades, lucky for me. It set me back in math quite a bit, but there was no way around that. Morphine doesn't make the best study buddy.
Sometimes I still feel like I need pain meds. I don't have any, and can't get any, but that doesn't stop it from hurting. It's always my lower back, and it lasts for days. I tend to lean forward while I do homework, or read, or concentrate on something and it strains my lower back a little too much. Sometimes it hurts for no reason. I really thought that after the surgery I wouldn't have any more pain, but I guess that's life.

Our honeymoon, and our cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line

We are Norwegians now!

(pictures to follow! the wife took the SD card with her)

The ship we were on was called Norwegian Sky,  I couldn't believe how big it was! A man posted a video tour of the ship on youtube, it's almost 10 minutes long. If you are considering going on a cruise, I HIGHLY recommend reading as many reviews and as many "tip" guides as possible before booking a cruise and before deciding on excursions. It REALLY helped us a whole lot. What I like is that the excursions on the the Norwegian Cruise Line website are open for reviews! Read them!

The Journey

We were married on May 10th. At 7pm we began the journey to Kansas City. We stayed one night in the KC Ameristar Casino & Hotel. Since my wife works for the company in a delicate position, we were unable to gamble. We were exhausted anyway, it was a very long but beautiful day. I had 38 bobby pins keeping my hair up into an amazing up-do, for the first time ever. The hair stylist (Kaylee) at the Ulta in Council Bluffs is a sorceress, I'm sure of it.

Early in the morning we packed our things and headed to the international airport in Kansas City. When we bought our tickets, we actually saved a few hundred dollars by driving, even with gas and the hotel. We flew to Miami with a quick layover in Georgia. Our Miami hotel was a Courtyard Marriot on 39th & Collins. It's HIGHLY recommended, folks. Best hotel I've ever stayed in. It had a huge beautiful outdoor pool, hot tubs, a tiki bar, an inside bar, incredible staff, AMAZING beds, and Caraba's is very close to the pool.

We ate at Caraba's the night we were there and it was pretty good. I'm not really accustomed to that type of meal, I'm more of an Applebee's kinda girl. However, it was a wonderful experience. I had lobster mac & cheese. My mother will never believe that. When I was a kid we went to Red Lobster and I cried the whole time and wouldn't eat my dinner because of the poor little lobsters on display. If I could have rescued them I'm certain I would have tried.

We played in the pool, and then discovered the Boardwalk directly behind the hotel. It's a wooden walkway with stairs every so often going down to the beautiful Miami Beach. My camera died before I managed to get a picture. The waves were too strong to do much in the water but we held hands and walked down the beach. We found some coral and shells. Ashley was amazed that the water was warm.

Our treasures from Miami Beach

I was very reluctant to leave Miami. We passed Miami Ink, got our hair cut, bought a "I was in Miami bitch" magnet. But we either walked or took a taxi, and in flip flops walking gets old real fast. The traffic was unbelievable. I thought Californians drove badly. This was a whole new level. People regularly cut each other off, especially the taxis. It was terrifying. There were Lamborghini's and Porsche's. If someone was in the right lane and a taxi was in the left but needed to turn right, they turned anyway.  Terrifying.

The Cruise

We went through customs before boarding the ship. It was a nightmare to get through. Worse than an airport. After you get off the shuttle before customs, they take your bags on board the ship for you. I assume it's so they can put them through an x-ray device. You can hold onto your carry-on sized bags but they too will be examined before being let onto the ship. It's the same drill as an airport: shoes off, no metal, nothing in your pockets. I was surprised they let me keep my jewelry on (same as the airport, they said people "lose" those kind of things. I would start screaming, so I'm glad I got to keep them.) We had to sign a paper saying we hadn't vomited or had diarrhea in the last 48 hours, which made me chuckle. Who is really going to admit to that anyway?

FINALLY we boarded the ship! Rooms were ready way ahead of schedule but the bags took hours. We wandered around the ship and weren't really in the "RELAX" state of mind. I was bored for 2 days, I admit. Then I started to relax and enjoy just being off of work and laying in the sun with my wife. We got into the pool and the hot tub, but it was LOADED with chlorine so bad, it was hard to enjoy the water. It actually bleached the shirt I wore.

The first night we were hungry. All we had eaten that day was a pack of peanuts each. We tried to go through the buffet and it was a disaster. Since we were all on the boat at the same time, *everyone* tried to eat at the same time. We had a huge line. It would be smart to go make a reservation for the first night at least at one of the restaurants ($15 per person for Italian or French, or $30 per person at the steakhouse. This includes a 3 course meal for each person. We thought it was worth every penny.) The buffet left us grumpy and still hungry. But later on the ship had a huge embarkation celebration alongside the pool with free food. I want to say it was BBQ. They actually did this kind of thing a lot, they also had a taco bar.

We layed out in the sun a lot. It was so nice. On the very top deck (12) they have tons of chairs for sunbathing. Sometimes we just layed there and looked at the horizon. It was amazing. Luckily we bought sun block in Miami.

Freeport was our first stop. Someone said the beach was far from the port so we didn't bother to venture far. The taxis in the Bahamas aren't any better than the ones in Miami. We didn't have an excursion in Freeport. I wish we had done something more than walk around the straw market, but that's really all we did. We bought some things like a piece of brain coral. It's smaller than the one we found. We also bought a starfish, conch shell, Ashley bought bracelets. It was a disappointing port for us. If I could do it over I'd book a snorkeling excursion. We were going to, actually, but it ended very close to our All Aboard time and now that I think about it, it was probably just something you did until it was time to go back. This was my least favorite island. We caught a quick comedy show by Andrew Kennedy on the ship, it was okay but he is definitely not my new favorite comedian. We checked out the gift shop (AMAZING) and the casino. The casino was small but bigger than I expected, lots of different slots and table games. Ashley played roulette--we could actually gamble at this one. The gift shop had duty-free cigarettes and alcohol, awesome designer perfume, Swarovski jewelry, and lots of souvenir items. If they had Coach, I would have lost it. Just remember, you have to claim everything at customs. Keep your receipts.

Nassau was our second stop. We walked around for a while in the town, bad drivers were everywhere. There are no stop signs or traffic lights here, which may be the cause of the bad driving. It is definitely dependent on tourism. I was surprised, though, by how many huge brands have stores there. Gucci, Harley Davidson, Estee Lauder, etc. I suppose because anything you buy there is duty-free. This is also where the Atlantis Resort is. The resort itself is incredibly beautiful, and huge, and awe-inspiring. If you want to stay at Atlantis (come on, who doesn't?) after paying to GET there, your room can range between $260 and $900 a night, depending on how long you stay. But they have Spring and Fall specials--you know, when the weather isn't awesome. Our excursion there was a guided tour of the aquariums. The Dig is pretty cool, the thought put into it was awesome. The aquariums are very nice, but I think I've been spoiled--growing up next to the Henry Doorly Zoo has given me some seriously high standards. However, our tour guide did admit there were two more lagoons she didn't show us. We knew we'd never find them and it was starting to rain so we went back to the boat. As long as it's not rainy, if I could do it over I'd get either a beach pass or the Aquaventure excursion. The Atlantis beach is beautiful, and if it hadn't started raining I probably would have figured out how to sneak in. It's cleaner than the rest of the beaches there. The Aquaventure gives you access to the waterpark and the slides. It looks crazy cool, but I'm more of a beach girl. They had some game show type events on the ship, one was a Newly Wed or Not so Newly Wed kind of thing? It's where they ask different couples questions, with husbands and wives separated, and compare the answers. It was pretty funny. They also had Deal or no Deal for the first time, I wanted to see that one but we were exhausted.

Our last port was the Great Stirrup Cay. It's a private island that has been owned by the cruise line for around 40 years, or so I was told by the our tour guide. I haven't done any research on that so don't quote me. It is my favorite island. It's all excursions and beach. No port. The ship had to "drop anchor" and send us out in a tiny boat called a tender. When the ship was stationary in the water, it was the first time I really felt the ship moving. But the poor little tender, it rocked a lot more than the huge ship. We practically ran to the beach. The water was incredible. We got off the ship as soon as possible and got to the beach a little before 9am. It wasn't cold, but not hot yet either. I believe it was around 79 degrees Fahrenheit with a slight breeze.

The Great Stirrup Cay. You can even
see those nasty rain clouds.

The waves were so gentle you could barely feel them. The water was cool at first but fine once you got in. When we got to our knees there was a strip of rocks about the length of the beach but it ended once we got in up to our waists. We were able to go into the water above our shoulders and weren't disturbed by waves at all. It was beautiful. The sand was so soft and fine you couldn't feel the granules at all. In California it tends to be grainy. Even on Miami Beach it was coarser. The water was so clear we could see the bottom even where we couldn't touch it. I got to play in the water and sand for about 40 minutes, then we had to go to our excursion. Ashley agreed to renting snorkeling gear for $30 for each person to make me happy, we agreed to rent and run back to the water asap. Our excursion was an "Eco Boat Tour" that took you around for an hour and pulled out sea life for you to touch. They explained some facts about conchs, sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sea biscuits, things like that. We also got to feed some big yellow fish, I think they were Yellowtails. Ashley filmed it. I wanted to go back to the beach so badly.. But then it rained. And it rained. And it poured. Right after we got off the boat it started. We tried to wait it out at a picnic table under a shelter area. The cruise line had set up a buffet there on the island so we ate, and waited, and gave up. And finally when it let up a little we made our way to the dock. It continued to rain while we on the tender, the seats were all wet but they packed the people in anyway. The rain whipped into the window and hurt our faces so we used our towels to cover our backpack and block our skin. It continued to rain until 5pm, when All Aboard was 5:30pm. I was very disappointed, but there's nothing we can do about the rain. After that we enjoyed our dinner and a show. We watched some sort of Vegas show, it was like honoring the past glory of Vegas and the older hotels and theaters that were tore down. It was a very good show. They did skits with different songs, impersonating the artists. There was Elvis, Sonny & Cher, Elton John, and many more. Elton John was my favorite. The singer had the big glasses and everything, he played the piano. I almost cried as he sang "Rocket Man," it was so good and beautiful. There was also an adults only comedy show later than night by Andrew Kennedy but we didn't go. They had different events and shows going on the whole time, it was very interesting. Lots of late night dance parties. There was a little something for everyone. There was even a "Friends of Dorothy" LGBT meeting time scheduled at the Atrium Bar every night, but only one other couple ever showed up. We saw three other lesbian couples but didn't talk to anyone.


ADVICE and conclusions:

• Take a digital watch or buy one in the gift shop, even if it's just a cheap one. Your cellphone will let you down. Call and ask guest services what time it is every morning and make sure your watch is correct.
• Keep receipts, or write down what you spend on each item. Customs will want to know.
• Don't be afraid to ask people to take your picture! They will!
• Plan an excursion for the Grand Island (Freeport).
• If you have kids, get the Aquaventure pass for Atlantis on Nassau. If you don't, Beach Pass!
• No excursions are necessary at the Great Stirrup Cay unless you are REALLY set on a certain one, like swimming with dolphins and stingrays. The beach is perfect.
• Make a reservation for a restaurant for the first night as soon as you board the ship. On Sky I think you do this on Deck 6, but you can call also.
• Take a lanyard with a plastic tag for your boarding pass and drivers license. This way you don't need a purse when you're going to the buffet, gift shop, pool, bar, etc. The only things you can use cash for on the ship is drinks (sometimes) and the casino.
• Take LOTS of small bills for the port straw markets and taxis. The Bahamian people have their own currency, and have limited amounts of change in US dollars. Take lots of $1 bills and $5 bills. Seriously, take like $100 in ones. It'll be worth the hassle. Unless you're going to gamble a lot, don't bother with $50 bills or greater.
• Go to the shows and have a good time!! You've already payed for it!
• Always save room for dessert. Cause it's amazing. Also eat fruits, they usually have fresh fruit out for every meal at the buffet. Vitamin C is important.
• Use hand sanitizer!!!! They provide you with free hand sanitizer almost everywhere, use it. They will spray your hands with it in a spray bottle, there will be hands-free sanitizer stands before the buffet and casino and gift shop and theater... almost everywhere. It's for YOUR benefit! Wash your hands often. Drink lots of water, it's unlimited at the buffet. Use antibacterial soap. All this will keep you healthy.

Rift Dimension Sanguine Shores - showin' off :D

Just a quick update on the work I've done with my starter dimension on Rift (Sanguine Shores). I think it's pretty cute, and it's one of the best starter dims I've seen on my shard. There are some better ones so I made a Starter Dim Spotlight run-through. (I'll embed it at the bottom.)




So I've pretty much hit the item cap on this dim, which is sad. There are a few more things I wanted to do with it and I have the room. I guess that means I can start working on my other toon's Sanguine Shores, or one of my Faen's Retreat dims.

Come give Hailol some dim love!


As promised, the Starter Dim Spotlight: the best of Hailol!

Rift Dimensions

The game I've been playing lately, Rift, has a system of player housing. I didn't think I'd really get into this aspect of the game but I actually love it.
I've been spending a ton of time with my alt's dimension (but not on my main.. weird?) the last two weeks and I've used more credits and platinum than I care to admit. It's not totally finished yet but all that's left is to fill two spaces I've made on the roof of my main little building.
The starter dimension, to me, is very cozy and it is actually my favorite I've seen so far. I bought the Breach Chamber but have no idea how to decorate it, and kind of hate it.

The BEFORE


The AFTER



As I said, it's not finished yet but I think all the major parts ARE finished. Just some light decorating to do after I replenish my funds.

World of Warcraft Lupus Pupus Quest from Iggy "Tailspin" Cogtoggle in Borean Tundra

****Click on photos for full size****

The title of the quest is a pun, if you are familiar with Latin you will have gotten it by now.. That's right, another poop quest! This quest happens in the Borean Tundra in Northrend by the Scalding Pools. You will earn reputation with Valiance Expedition, which is why I did this one.

Quest giver is Iggy "Tailspin" Cogtoggle, you will find him near a broken down airplane. When you accept the quest you'll receive Wolf Bait.

If you're here you are probably looking for help through this quest. It's a simple one and gives decent exp and rep so definitely get this one done :)

This is good after MoP, but a future expansion may change things. Have more info? Feel free to comment.

Those are the wolves you need to target. DO NOT ATTACK THEM.

Right click on the Wolf Bait in your bag after targeting a wolf,

it will toss the Wolf Bait to them.

After tossing the Wolf Bait, the wolves will run up to you

and eat the bait. They will howl and run away, and then

the wolf poop will be visible.

Yep that's wolf poop. 

Close up of the wolf poop because I was laughing too hard not to.

Right click on it to loot it.

You get the Microfilm from looting the poop.

Repeat. When you have the needed amount, return to Iggy "Tailspin" Cogtoggle.

Crocheted Butterfly scarf + link to FREE pattern!

The pattern I used



Butterflies close up



 So. I made my little cousins some scarves. For the older and middle one I used the pattern I linked to above, but they're different. I said you could see the middle child's scarf, so I've added pictures. :) She liked it, so I was happy. The youngest kid's scarf I'm still working on, I'm using seed crochet and it's taking me forever to finish. I do like the way seed crochet looks though. It'd be very nice as a border too.



with beige fringe

I checked out the library for pattern books and found some really good ones! These two were my favorites. So even if you don't think you'll find anything in your library, just check and see! You might find something really cool, and then you can make copies to keep the patterns for freeeee.

This might be stupid tip, but when I find a cute pattern that I REALLY like that is free (I just freaking love free stuff though XD) I make sure to keep it! I have a huge folder with tons of patterns that I wrote really dorky stuff on--literally there is a quote about the "war between knit and crochet"!!!!)--and I have printed off patterns that I found on blogs, patterns I made a photocopy of from a book, those free little patterns you can pick up at craft stores... Like just oodles of patterns! And even though I'm always looking at new patterns, I will always have those one in case the blog I found one no longer exists in a few years, I can't find an online version of something random I decided I needed in my life.. etc. Look, I hoard patterns okay. I'm not proud of it. But in 10 years I'll put out something crazy and everyone will freak out about it. You'll see. What were we talking about?

Right. So go to your local library, I bet there's more there than you think. I've even found crochet videos I can rent at my library!

Beginner Notes for crochet projects and tips learned from experience!

Hey Internet!
I'm teaching a friend how to crochet and she catches on very quickly. I'm not the greatest teacher ever, but there are a lot of things I wish someone had told me when I was learning. I mostly had to figure everything out on my own, and I was able to do it, but I realize that not everyone can learn the way I did.

Here are some notes for beginning crocheters. Feel free to share them with friends, relatives, etc. but please direct them back to this blog. ;)

Choosing a hook: With all of your options, it's sometimes difficult to choose which hook to use. Different hooks are right for different projects. The larger the hook, the looser and larger the stitches will be. In general I really enjoy using a size G with worsted weight yarn, and size F with fingering yarn (baby yarn). Unless you're working with a pattern, you can use pretty much any size though. Choose one that feels good in your hand.
Chaining: This is the foundation for your crochet project, it's the first step. To start a chain, you first make a slipknot that you can make snug on your hook. There are a few ways to make the slipknot, so do it whatever you feel most comfortable with. It is abbreviated "Ch" in most patterns.
Slip Stitch: The smallest stitch--very similar to chaining. It's most common to use slip stitches while joining a round. It's abbreviated slst.
Single Crochet: The second smallest crochet stitch you'll learn, so it should be the first you learn.  Crocheting is new to you, and the brain has nothing to compare the motions to. By starting from the simplest stitch, you can get used to the motions and slowly build on your knowledge. It is abbreviated "SC" in most patterns.
Double Crochet: Is abbreviated "DC" in most patterns. It is like single crochet but has an extra step. Because it has the extra step, it is a longer stitch than sc. Probably the most popular stitch.
Triple Crochet: Two more steps than a sc. This is a very long stitch and appears to be more loose than dc and sc.
Turning: In order to have both sides of the project match, we turn our projects. This means that instead of going left to right and then right to left, we only crochet to the left. Turning stitches should be chaining the number of the stitch + 1chain. (Example, dc is double, so its number 2, then you add one chain. So you when you reach the end of your row you chain 3. Single is 1, so you make 2 chains after getting to the end of a row.)

When people are having trouble with the basic motion of using a hook, telling them to "scoop the yarn with the hook and then bring it through the stitch" seems to help. Crochet hooks are built with the hook part for a reason, you use it to capture the yarn and manipulate it.

To keep yarn clean, you can use a yarn bowl (there are some super cute ones!), or some people will use a plastic bag, I've even seen a toilet paper holder! Forreal. Whatever will keep the yarn clean and still make it easy to pull more yarn out!

Let's talk about the ends..... Weave those girls in! Take a yarn needle, or even a hook if you don't have a needle, and weave the tail through the crochet. Some people will take clear nail polish and put a dab on the very end so that it doesn't go anywhere. I think that with most things you shouldn't NEED to do this, like overkill status, but I've also had projects where I wished I had. If you're working with something that will be getting a lot of attention or even when you're making a commercial product, leave a longer tail so you can get the tip to a place that won't be seen as much and add a dab of nail polish or fabric glue--y'all, this can help A LOT in the appearance as a whole. You don't like to see strings coming off your clothing, you REALLY won't want strings coming off things like lacey fingerless gloves (just to name a project of mine that I WISH I had known about this for... ugh!) Slippery yarn, or even crochet thread, are mediums I think it's a good idea to use this tip with. (Especially when you're making lacey fingerless gloves with slippery crochet thread! :/ Never gonna let myself live that down.)


So I know this was short but I hope it helps somebody somewhere. I'd really like to make video tutorials, but honestly guys I just don't have the extra time in my day. Sorry! One day I hope I can manage that.
