The neck/spine surgery last week went well. I hope to get released tomorrow by the doc. It sure isn't fun but I have hurt worse from other things. If it stops the pain and gets me more enjoyable time with the family and on the water I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'll do the next surgery in a couple of months after I heal from this one. To all of you who texted, called, and visited me this past week you will never know how awesome that makes a fellow feel to know there are true friends out there who aren't just keyboard artist.
