I'm looking at the inferior end of the spine.

Correct.
Spinal Stenosis with L4/5, L5/S disc bulge.
Mine's flaring up real good today.

It's manageable but permanent. All I can say is lift with your legs and watch your back and if you find yourself lifting beer kegs for a living, quit.

Hold on a sec... that image is from Shands at UF, right?

Are you in Gainesville?

No, S.F. It's not my MRI, it only looks like mine.

Ah. I was about to say, if you have back problems from lifting beer kegs for a living, I know you.

If you lived in Gainesville, that is.

I'd bet beer keg lifters the world over have had one kind or another.

Does seem to be an occupational hazard.

Along with the Hernia.

That, and smelling like beer a lot.

Why do I want to hurt someone now?

I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that
you're afraid... afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't
know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is
going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin.
I'm going to hang up this phone, and then show these
people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show
them a world without you. A world without rules or controls,
borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.
Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.
