I want to get a hand holding a pencil at the top of my scar. :)

That's something you can totally work through! I had spinal cord surgery at 9yrs that left me with nerve damage in my right leg, and I couldn't walk without a walker for months. It's still something I struggle with a little (I'm 18 now) but it's so much better than it was all those years ago. I promise, a little physical therapy does wonders.

Hello :)

First of all, thanks for sharing your pictures. I've had three back surgeries, one of which being a near-full spinal fusion. It's nice to see people with similar experiences.

It's now been about five years since my last surgery, and I was wondering what your pain has been like since your experience. I've had trouble with pain management and related disorders, do you have any tips/tricks/anything like that?

Why build a space elevator? Rocket fuel is a tad on the expensive side, but how will this be more enery efficient than a rocket?
