My wife and I were honored to serve on the host committee for the Shepherd Center’s annual fundraiser 💛

This year was extra special—it was the 50th anniversary of this incredible institution! 🎉

All the proceeds from the night went to support their new ABI inpatient unit, helping patients and families navigate brain injuries.

We’re so grateful to be part of such a meaningful cause 🙏

Thank you to for making the night unforgettable ✨

🧠 Not all spine surgeries are the same — especially when it comes to decompressing one level.

Here’s the breakdown ⬇️

🔹 Laminotomy — “otomy” means to make an opening.
A small window is created in the lamina (the bone covering your spinal canal) to take pressure off the nerve — minimally invasive and preserves most of the bone.

🔹 Laminectomy — “ectomy” means to remove.
Here, the entire lamina is removed to decompress the spinal cord or multiple nerves — usually for more severe spinal stenosis.

🔹 Laminoforaminotomy — a combo procedure.
Part of the lamina + the foramen (where the nerve exits) are opened up to free a pinched nerve root.
Think of it as clearing both the hallway and the doorway for the nerve to pass. 🚪

All are ways to create space — just with different levels of bone removal and precision depending on how much compression there is.

💉 So why did the pain management doctor inject dye at a specific level?
It’s called a diagnostic nerve root block — or selective injection.
By placing dye and anesthetic at the exact level where the nerve exits, they can confirm which nerve is causing pain.
If the injection relieves symptoms — that’s the level we decompress surgically.

🩻 Medicine and surgery working hand in hand.

Answer to “Where is the Laminectomy?” Reel was:

A- the laminotomy was located where the letter A was shown.

💭 The real question isn’t “How long will I live?” — it’s “How will I live?”

Longevity comes from the interconnectedness of everything:
✨ Alignment: living in truth with who you are
🧠 Stress management: reducing inner conflict
🤝 Connection: having people who let you be yourself
🌅 Purpose: a reason to get out of bed each morning
🏃‍♂️ Movement: walking, exercise, staying active
🥗 Nutrition: eating well and fueling your body

Each piece supports the others. ⚖️ Neglect one, and your system suffers.

🌍 People in the Blue Zones live long because they’ve mastered balance, not just protein, steps, or supplements.

💨 Here’s the truth:

Ni****ne — from ci******es, vapes, or even ni****ne gum — cuts off blood flow to your spine.

Less oxygen. Fewer nutrients. Slower bone healing.

🦴 After a spinal fusion, your bone needs to grow solid.
If ni****ne is in your system, that healing can stop completely — we call it a nonunion.

⏱ How long should you stop?
👉 Ideally, 4–6 weeks before surgery
👉 And 3 months after while the bone is trying to fuse

Even short-term quitting dramatically improves healing rates and reduces complications.

I tell my patients: “If you’re investing in your spine, give it the best chance to heal.”

❤️‍🔥 So this weekend — quit va**ng, root for Georgia, and protect that spine like it’s the goal line.
