I was going to show her the picture but I forgot to take a picture to show her. I went to the surgeon Thursday only to find out that yes he's a surgeon but he hasnt done back surgery in 7 years so I have a new referral so I will be going to a new surgeon. But he did tell us that bulging discs are pinching the nerves causing pain. Thanks for asking. And you being Italian I'm sure your cooking and baking is delicious.

Hi @Pooky1    Sorry about the surgeon you saw not doing back surgery.   Hope the new surgeon can help you so that you are no longer in pain.

 

My Mom and both grandmothers were excellent cooks.  I learned everything I know from them.   Believe it or not, I hate to cook.  🤣  But having grown up with two parents who were born and raised in Italy, I cook almost everyday.

My wife use to all the cooking but I would cook and bake sometimes allso. Since she got the job she has now she works a ton of how's and I'm home on disability so I do the cooking now. I don't mind.I like to cook allso. Both of my wives parents are from Italy and her older brother and sister were born in Italy. My wife Maria and her younger brother were born here in Cranston Rhode Island. I thinks its funny that her sister was born in Italy she cooks alot but making homemade pasta Maria is the one that makes it .not now because of her work schedule. She gets up like 130 am and gets home around 3 or 4 afternoon. Have a great rest of the day.
