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 tukafan21 · Posted

      Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.

      The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
