Just Around the Corner

Ok, I never claim to be a "Macho" man but the thought of someone slicing open my back and digging into my spine never truly bothered me. Although I must admit that I am becoming slightly apprehensive about this second operation. I am very lucky to have such a loving wife that has been so supportive of me and after the last surgery, she waited on me hand and foot. Now she has put in for another leave of absence so that she can once again take care of me, as a child would try to nurse a baby bird back to health after it has fallen from its nest.

More to come

Well, I saw my Neurosurgeon yesterday and it seems that I am going to have another surgery.
They will be fusing two of my vertebrae together. The recovery is expected to take about 3 months and I have about a 50% chance of recovery. I'll keep posting as long as the pain allows me to.
