Lars,
I've read many of your posts and enjoyed them. I have heard of your fine work. I wish you the best.
I had a 5 level lwer back fusion and it's a big improvement, it was not fun but worked out for the better and hope yours does too.

I can imagine what you are going through...after 46 surgeries myself, my heart goes out to anyone who even has to go to a doctor for a check up...lets hope you recover as well as all of the carbs and distributors you so expertly have operated on

If you want to I will be glad to come to your place and console Donna for you.(just kidding)
Get well soon my friend, and if there is ANYTHING I can do to help, let me know and I will take time off from work to help!!!
With the hopes of a FULL and Complete recovery!
Mark and Janice.

Default Thank you so much to all of you

First, let me thank all of you here on the CorvetteForum for the amazing outpouring of thoughts, offers for help, and well wishes. I am simply amazed at the level of support I have received from everyone here and the kind and thoughtful notes during this time.

The surgery appears to have been a success, and I have regained all feeling and use of my right arm. My neck and throat feels like it's been through a butcher shop, but the meds are giving me a good damper on the pain... Can't wait to be able to have my first Martini and a good beer again, though..

Thank you again to all of you here for the unbelievable outpouring of support - you guys just blow me away, and I truly appreciate every comment and note received.
