>>98985505Ah fuck just saw it's hips. So it's Lumbar Stenosis, and if some of her discs are misaligned, that's Spondylolisthesis.
They prescribed my mom opiates which fucked her up, and some nerve signal blockers which made her drowsy and sleepy. I hope Wawa finds a real solution here. Some newfangled first world magic solution.
The problem with the surgery is there's a risk of fucking PARALYSIS of everything below that part of the spine. If something happens to Wawa, I don't know how she'll deal with it. I can't see Wawa in a wheelchair. I think there's some less-invasive laminotomy (not laminectomy) that just shaves part of the vertebrae without needing to remove the entire neural arch.
I'm genuinely worried we'll have our first real wheelchair Holo.
