Surgery done...Kudos to my wife and son.

Well, I have had neck problems for the last several months. Did X-Rays and MRIs and determined that a fusion (at C5/C6) needed to be done. So Thursday AM, they did it. I prepped my tank the best I could and so far, my wife and son have tag teamed and done a fantasic job at feeding, maintaining water level and making sure the lights were on.

My son was very concerned when he saw the finger leather in the morning. He was all over the lighting. Gave me a detailed report when I came in the door. What a good boy. So, as the pain level is significant, and my actions will be severely limited, it seems that their involvement will extend farthur then anticipated.

Also thanks to Jason (Packleader) for being there for them as an emergency source of direct advise should something go wrong....I will need you the next few days as well if you don't mind. K+ to you later....Can't spend too much time doing this typing thang.

So basically, I am just flat out proud of my two helpers in taking care of my most sacred of house duties. If I could give them mega-karma, I would, but instead will give them Kudos to those people (ya'll) who understand how good help is hard to find.

Later gators.......John.;D:thumbs_up

 

Feel better! I to have worn out disc in my neck, (c3) and can't tilt my head back without pain and my left arm going numb. But I manage. Be well!

 

Great to hear everything went well John. I will be here for however long I am needed. Keep us updated.

 

Will hope for a speedy recovery, John! I'm sure your tank helpers will do just fine!

 

Hope you get to feeling better soon... nice to have a good "tank sitting" crew available! Get well!!

 

Hope for your fast recovery, so your hands can get salty soon my friend.

 

Awww that's great you have great helpers!!!!!! Good to hear your surgery went well!!! Hope you have a speedy and Pain-less(than what you have now) recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll be back diving in the tank before you know it!

 

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Well, when it's time for your turn, just beware of the pain factor. I heard this was one of the more painful surgeries and they weren't kidding. I was crying like a little girl at one point last night. One GREAT think is weight loss. I can barely eat (hurts to swallow). Nice little bonus.

 

LOL!!!! and Pack says in his Karma 'quit whining!!!'. I can't!!!! I am a guy. That's what guys do. I have been trying to figure out how close this is to delivering a baby. It's gotta be pretty close. Glad I am a dude.

 

Years ago I was the kid helping his dad when my dad had to fuse 3 in his lower back. +k to the fam! It's scary work man. Good luck dude
