Hi Seablue,
Welcome to the forums.
You did a good job making it to the new members forum and introducing yourself.
My goodness, 42 surgeries and 53 yrs olds....you have endured so much.
My brother was also in the service and had the beginning of cirrhosis of the liver. His was from drinking and his doc told him to stop or he'd kill himself. I got him taking milk thistle( also called SILYMARIN) and he cleared his liver in 6 months.
I take it daily to cleanse my liver because I take alot of meds for pain every day.
I have never had spinal surgeries but many here have and you can find them at
the forums on Spinal Disorders. I would suggest you start a new thread for yourself on that forum and ask specific questions you may have today about your upcoming surgery, could be something as simple as what to expect or what is recovery like.
Glad you made if here. Best of luck on upcoming surgeries.
May I ask, Where does Seablue come from?
Are you a lover of the ocean, as I am....grew up in Boston and spent my childhood going to cape cod and Martha's Vineyard.
My best, Diandra
P.S.
Your intro was tacked onto the end of someone else's, I am going to ask the moderators if they can move it to a new thread that is just for you so more people will see it.
