Sorry to hear about the neck trouble. I’d definitely check out other opinions. I suppose that’s easy to suggest. It doesn’t sound like you have a ton of spare time to check out extra anythings right now.
Rowan is lovely. He almost makes me want more of my own.

not onely a Ramone’s onesies, but those kinda look like the old checkered vans I wore circa 83 or 84. It was all about Misfits, Ramones, Vans, and skateboards for me those couple of years.
Thanks people…
Pete those are indeed tiny van printed socks- full set of those and some that look like chucks
O_b_s you have two lovely daughters, but son’s are clearly the shit.
as far as the neck goes, Im like kinda crippled but woke up on saturday worse then ever.
I cant turn it to the right at all- hurts enough not to train,\
that was hard to type.
this is the 3rd dr. to tell me I need to do this
anterior cervical discectomy
basically they cut a hole in the front dig out the broken/fused crap and leave some screws and titanium
Im scared of something like this, I dont even like to take aspirin
and the timing could not be worse, I am not taking gigs right now,
and the wife is back to work in a week.
still having mortgage drama
blah blah blah.
going to try to see someone else for ART when I can.
I might buy a TRX system to console myself
Sorry to hear that you’re laid up. Hope things turn around for you soon.
But if you’re looking for some consolation, you can always make your own homemade suspension trainer. . . .

heal faster
kmc, that sucks about your neck. Yikes, I’d be scared too about someone digging around in my neck. Hopefully this bout of pain will relent without that.
That TRX looks super interesting. I’ve considered it myself.
That sounds a lot like the operation a lot of “pro” rasslers have to have. Come from all your years of rolling around on the mats? Kids cute as can be btw.
How you doing homeboy? Blackirish? A boy from canarsie would know about that!

Nice. I don’t have to worry about bottles yet. Ours is firmly attached to nipple. We’re gonna fire up the ‘double pumper’ soon, though!
Kids got latching issues so we are split pumped milk and formula…
Don’t think we’ll find this kind of discussion on any of the other forums. Thats why I like it here. Diapers and deadlifts. Great name for a thread.

It would be a great name.
So, Kev as a fellow roll around on the grounder, can I ask how you hurt your neck? I’d like to be in the game for the rest of time, and being aware of potential injuries seems to be a big part of it. I’m sorry if you’ve already addressed it, and I just didn’t catch it. If you have, just let me know and I’ll find it.
Diapers and deadlifts… hmmmm.
has a nice ring to it.
Pch2 I hurt it several times- and its some other stuff, both how I sleep
and some work related things too.
injury wise, It has always hurt, like 4 to 6 Advil a day kind of thing for ??? 10 or so years,
usually its just a dull thing that you can ignore.
I guess when I made the transition from HS to college to Greco Roman club stuff, the competition got much much stiffer, and the rules at each level allow for a much more physical sport
Aging doesn’t help either
I got a series of severe concussions , and yes I got dropped on my head plenty. Really most stuff must have happened in training- the volume of work is there
So passing out a few times, and neck pain led me to stop competing ,then I went back to Judo.
Judo as hard as it is on the body isnt as bad as greco- so I thought I would be ok. Same for BJJ.
And I make television- for a living.
I work in lighting and spend a good bit of my day looking up at the ceiling, sounds silly
but the ceiling is where the bulk of our work takes place on a ‘grid’ of pipes that we hang or rig
our equipment off of.
So my neck is in constant extension- not a good position for anyone’s neck.
lastly I somehow wake up on my face, with my head turned to one side, really not good for me either.
Right now I have extremely limited mobility on the right side of my neck- I can barely turn it.
Nor can I bend my neck towards the left.
Right now my neck is the smallest its ever been since HS I guess I still have no neck, but its not as bulky
I had a great chiro who stopped taking anything but cash.
A rolfer helped allot, Im looking into ART, but timing is everything.
Bascially the diagnosis has all been similar herniated discs that have degenerated
and are kind of fused.
I mean if they took out a few vertebrae how bad could that be, its not like I could get any shorter
kmac! is it the neck issues that made the decision to be stay at home dad, or were there other considerations? if its nunma bidnis that’s cool.
