Carnernd thanks
Wayward email me and I will tell you my whole story from the pain to the
drugs to the doing nothing for a year to finally deciding that I need the full monty,
open back surgery. But it only took 2 hours and I am in better shape than if
I would have had shoulder surgery or knee surgery. Its easier than I ever imagined.
Really. Had I known this I would have had it 2 years ago.

P.S. Wayward, wish you could have been there at the top of Tam when I snapped that pic in your avatar. Seeing it here is evocative for me -- takes me right back to a warm summer night and that tall California golden grass. And that 993... Man, it was the best 993 I ever drove.

Almost high enough to get a labotomy at the same time. When they wanted to do mine (which even the Doctors were not thrilled about) they said they would have to go in through the front, fuze at least four vertabra install rods for support and I could do nothing at all for at least 6 months with the recovery being at least a year. They also said they could only promise a 25% chance they would reduce the pain down my legs and there was a 50% they could cause some additional lose in my legs. I said no and that was a leading teaching hospital. I have good days and bad but basically with the life the way I have abused my back throughout my life ( competitive basketball and tennis until almost 40) plus pulling "g's" for years as a fighter pilot and later flying my own acrobatic aircraft. I can't complain. By the way I still abuse my back and pay the price. Life is too short not to live every day to the fullest.
