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.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around. Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      They can get fuged for a 6th and 7th. Doesn't make sense for us for anything less than a 4th and them paying a majority of his salary.
