hope you're doing okay. just found out you were messed up. i'm in the same boat; but it was hip surgery for me two weeks ago, and i'm in agony. pass the meds. should be okay come early spring - out of work for another three weeks. seasons greetings to you and yours.

I'm hoping to avoid surgery but my laundry list came out two weeks ago:

2 Degenerative Disks, Arthritis in the lower back, a Pelvic Tilt (not the Elvis version :huh: ).... This is just the first round, and only with my back :yak5:

ouch,, Damn RaveN

smile dave.....
 

if you have an art request of something wacky let me know...

as it'll be 90 days or so before i start Art School.... No i havent yet got the go ahead....but being clairvoyant has it's advantages and i already "know" i'm going..... it took just one handshake and i saw...or felt my future....DE JA VU rush BIGTIME. kinda like that show on TV where the guy makes contact and then has wicked flash backs....for me..i have flash forwards....i saw the house i'm living in now...the number on it just as clear as can be.... close to 7 years before seeing it in real life, for example....and when i drove up the driveway for the first time.....the DE JA VU was so intense i almost had to puke. :yak6:

John i am sorry to hear that you have to have surgeries....we all will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.....

John--are they doing the surgery with a scope? I had the open type many years ago and now am paying dearly for the mess left behind. Arthritus is a bitch with stenosis thrown in. I wish you luck! do it now and be back fishing the spring run!:hihi:
