Finally got a surgery date for Dec.14. I am really glad it was a bit delayed as it allowed me to go to Tenn. for a week with Mark to hunt with my older brother, also Mark is coming over to hunt with me here in Ohio and we are going to tag team to try to take at least 1 of 4-5 decent bucks I have on camera. As far as the surgery they are removing 3 discs and putting in spacers and plate to fuse 4 vertebrae. Doc said about 6 wks recovery time but I'm guessing maybe a bit longer. I will be glad for the pain in my neck to go away.

I'll be thinking about you, Dennis. Just keep your mind on how good it will feel to not be in pain. And best of luck to you guys filling your tags in Ohio.

Well, if I read this correctly, today was the day for Dennis to get rid of his "pain in the neck", I know he has a lot of recovery to do before that happens and most likely a physical therapy program? (I'm not a doctor, only play one on TV haha). I hope it all went well and hope Dennis when he feels up to it, lets us know how things went. |

All good feels much better now with delotid and Percocet. Seriously not too bad but not sure exactly what they did, from what my wife said they didn't do fusion the way that was discussed. Maybe not as bad as was thought.🤞🙏

Wow, talking about not being able to keep a good man down! Glad to hear things went well, Dennis, and you're not too uncomfortable. Be nice to it all while it's healing and daydream about pain-free mobility. Enjoy a wonderful Christmas and New Year holidays.

Good time ahead Dennis. Watched a few very close friends resume normal lives after serious spinal issues. My wife one of them. Hope you recover well.

Follow-up visit today. Now only 4 more wks in the cervical collar then therapy, (I wish it was powder burning therapy). Looks like I will still be able to eat at the polar bear gathering so all is well.
