Troops.... there is good news !! I was to the back surgeon today and he feels that NO SURGERY is necessary at this time. It has been amazing how much better I have been feeling each day the past three weeks. I am walking by and large pain free and it is only a matter of a few warm days before I try the golf course and Carlos Santana starts to hit.
Doc said.... no sense cutting until the pain would become too great and at that point he will be there for me. In truth I have reached a point of feeling stronger than anytime in about the past eight or nine months. So I figure in a few weeks I will try golf and see how that goes.
Thanks for you kind thoughts.
