My coworker took leave to get back surgery because her back was messed up and she was always in pain.
Now she can hardly walk after massive complications and multiple surgeries.
Anyone I’ve ever met who had a back surgery say that they wish they never did it. It could be confirmation bias on my end.
BUT she told me that she wishes so badly that she would have just pushed through the pain. She was fully functional and working a pretty active job. Now she sits at a desk somewhere part-time.
SUPERMAN!
