I'm off to Johns Hopkins Hospital

[Carter]

In the morning and if all goes as planned I'll most likely have a 3 day visit while the doctors try to put my back together from the mess it's now in caused by years of physical pounding (work) I have given it. Maybe they will be able to take away some of the severe pain I have been in for months. I'll let you guys know sometime later what the outcome was.

Best of luck with your procedure. Our thoughts for a speedy recovery will be with you!!

Well guys it's bad news for me but good news for someone else as the Doctor would not admit me and said go on pain management for 2-3 weeks then come back. He had an emergency operation that took my time slot and needed to save a fellow from loosing the use of his legs. His previously implanted metal rod slipped and I got bumped so the Doctor could help this guy.
I can't do much at all anymore, walking, sitting and laying down all are painful and I will be glad to have them get out the old Sunbeam Electric carving knife and get to work on my back.

Jeez Carter, not a comforting feeling at all-sorry you're laid up. Hang in there my Friend!

Carter,

I am sorry to here about the delay.

Be strong my brother. I am rooting for you.

Can you get any relieve from using a heating pad or a cold towel. A cold towel is a wet towel that hangs out in the freezer for a while. My Father used these for his arthritis and it seemed to help.

Sorry to heat that you got bumped, Carter. I hope the next two weeks pass quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Please take care!

Getting bumped really sucks!!!! It must be hard to finally get to your day and then get told to wait two more weeks. Keep us informed and good luck
