I have to have back surgery in the morning at 7....

I went to the ER Thurs for pain and they did a MRI, the ER doc looked and said it was bad, buy referred me to neuro. They workes me in because of the severity and told me to come back for 1 of 2 surgeries.

Tomorrows is a decompression at the T-3, the spinal cord is being pinched to about half it's size. The next surgery will be a fusion extending from the T-3 to the T-8 to keep things from moving around too freely.

T-8 is where I had my surgery in 2007 and am having some compression issues again. This doctor said I'm lucky to be walking at all.

Anyway, this is and has been incredibly tough on my wife who also chases a 20 month old around while I rot in my recliner. Any prayers are welcome and appreciated.

I had compression fractures to the same vertebrae (T3 - T8) ranging from 15% to 35% compression in 2005. I opted not to have fusion as I was in the middle of grad school and wanted to be stubborn and finish as soon as possible. I rocked a serious back brace for four months and then went through physical therapy. Although I didn't go through the fusion and subsequent recovery, I know what you're feeling and can imagine what it must have been like on your family. Best of luck tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.

      ESPN Top 100 for 2025

      By trueblue · Posted

      2025 NFL Rank: Predicting top 100 players for this season - ESPN I'll save you the click- 0 Panthers in the top 100. A couple of former Panthers and a hand full of "draft- What-If's" on the list. If this nothing else, this type of list shows the down stream impact of terrible player personnel and scouting that was in place here for years.
