Glad to hear you're doing well & be glad you got good hospital staff. I've spent quite a bit of time in two different hospitals around here lately with a sick family member and the staff makes or breaks it.

My woman isnt finding some of these posts to be what I need. I think they're right on target.

My family is finally getting the final word on everything with me. I cant speak. The entire voice box/throat gets pushed to one side to access the spine and it hurts so much that I just make a terminator face when I hear incorrect tech stuff or the rants of them sniveling democrats.

No Hillary, you arent going to get elected. I will voice my opinions in morse code if need be. Go back home.

They say 1 1/2 -2 weeks for vocalization.........

What really kills is having access to the sick toys I have and being stuck indoors with a neck brace on. We cant have any g-forces now. I got eliminated from an atlantic city trip with the family too. I bet they all think this is funny. It takes 7 minutes at altitude to get to atlantic city in a lear 55.

Glad to hear all went well also. I am wondering exactly what Spin had done. Unless I missed it in a post someplace.

He had a bulging disc in his neck that was a result of a very bad car crash a few years back. They had to fuse and stabilize vertabrae in his neck with titanium rods (they may have use Comp Cams 7.4 hardened push rods ). Besides losing sensation and having pain in his left arm, his work outs were suffering. His bench press was stalled at 450lbs and his squats were "only" in the 500 lb range when he usually hits 700 or so.
