  • Feb. 2008 my spine tried to kill me. Lower lumbar spinal stenosis.

    Did a bunch of stuff, winded up on vicodin. At my peak, just to function as a normal human being, I was taking 10 a day.

    2 when I woke up.
    2 when I got to work.
    2 at lunchtime.
    2 when I got home.
    2 to be able to sleep.

    For a year, it felt like my head was stuffed with cotton.

    I got tired of not being able to think so I stopped the vicodin, managing the pain with stretching, breathing exercises, and meditation.

    The pain never left, but I could “distance” it, like shouting from the house across the street.

    I would not wish stenosis pain on my worst enemy.
