Capt. Terry, keeping your dad and family in my thoughts and prayers...praying for a speedy recovery for him...

[Baywolf]

Hope it works Terry, will keep you in my prayers. I know how hard it is to watch the ones you love in so much pain all the time. You just want them to get better.

[Capt. Terry]

Terry, as you may have known I was a Deputy Sheriif in Florida for 17 years up until 41/2 years ago when a drunk driver rear ended me in my patrol car at 60 mph while I was sitting at a stop light. I sustained 3 herniated discs and a broken c7 spinal process because of it. (plus my damn donut got smashed all over the windshield).
I'm doing all I can to avoid surgery but trying to paint and draw full time in one position really aggravates things. That crash ended my police career as I sometimes loose feeling in my right hand. Please keep us posted on how your dad is doing and if that new gadget works. I'm sick of getting a epideral needle shoved in my back. I love what I'm doing for a living but hate how I got to do it full time. Keepin my fingers crossed for him.

MARK, YEAH I REMEMBER YOU TELLING ME THAT STORY AT THE WAHOO CLASSIC IN MHC. I HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL FOR YOU. DAD CAME HOPE BELIEVE IT OR NOT LAST NIGHT FROM THE HOSPITAL IN BALTIMORE. THEY PUT THE STIMULATOR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS STOMACH IN FRONT AND SNAKED THE WIRE AROUND THE LEFT SIDE AND THEN PUT THE STIMULATOR'S PROBE IN THE BASE OF HIS SPINE. THE DOCTOR REPAIRED TWO DISCS THAT HAD BEEN OPERATED ON BEFORE. HE ALSO REMOVED ALOT OF SCAR TISSUE FROM THE OTHER 6 SURGERIES AND HE ALSO REMOVED 4 BONE SPURS OFF OF THE SPINE AS WELL........

I STOPPED BY THERE LAST NIGHT AND DAD WAS WIPPED OUT............HE SLEPT IN TILL 10 AM THIS MORNING........HOPEFULLY A SPEEDY RECOVERY. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED OK. THANKS FOR THE REPLY

I'm with "FlatDog" on this subject. I had back surgery done after 25 year's of living with 4 shot disc's. Exersize helped alot previous to surgery and continue's to do so. It is absolute key. When you build up the stomach muscle's they really help to carry the "wounded" spine. As soon as he is up and about,get with the Doc and get on a "no doubt about it regiment". Your Pop sound's like a stand up guy, hope he does well. Constant pain is a bear to live with, I know. Frank

THANKS FRANK......I CAN SAY THIS HE WAS UP WALKING WITH A CANE YESTERDAY MORNING......HE IS STUBORN AND WON'T BACK DOWN - HE TOLD MOM HE KNEW THAT HE NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE BED ASAP.

[Capt. Terry]

THANKS NEIL, BAYWOLF AND EVERYONE ELSE......I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED AS I CAN.......

THANKS AGAIN!!
