Hey All,
I saw the surgeons assistant today and went to the hospital for pre-op stuff. I have to be at the hospital Monday at 1:45 PM for the surgery to install the permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator. (Barring any unseen problems.) I'm really excited about it.

They wrote me out of work for 2 weeks but said if I need a couple of more weeks to recover they'll write me out for more. I guess it's gonna be pretty sore.

Workers' Comp and my employer have been real good so far about this.

Please keep me in mind and if you don't see me around for a couple of days next week you'll know why. Thank you all!!!

David.

Hi David,
I really hope you are recovering well. This may be the ticket to wellness for you, or at least a vast reduction in pain. You are in my thoughts! -Kristi

Adding my prayers for successful surgery and a speedy recovery to David. I also pray that this surgery gives him great relief and that he's back up and around quickly. He is such a solid individual - always giving to this group in so many ways. Can't wait to have hiim back so we can celebrate his recovery. Another party in the wind!
