Two Herniated Disks and some Good News
« on: March 19, 2015, 07:40:03 AM »
Well, it appears that I have TWO badly herniated disks that need fixing.  I was expecting the worst, but got some good news.  They will be doing a minimal invasive surgery on me that will have me back on my feet in a week and back to normal in a month or so.  They will cut some 1" openings in me and drill through the bone (transverse process I think).  They will arthroscopically cut away the protruding disks against my nerve and clean up the area.

This is great news for me as I was getting nervous that I was going to have similar surgery to my neighbor which would have side lined me for 4+ months!   I don't have an exact date since I'm waiting for approval again, but it looks like the end of April i will be going under the knife which means I should be back in action for big game hopefully by June!  :D

The number one thing I can recommend is to start a yoga routine, it does wonders.

April 16th I go under the knife.  I will hopefully be casting my new jigstick on May 15th (or maybe sooner depending on how I heal).   ;D
