Prayers for a full and complete recovery

 

[akbluz]

Ron, you are in my prayers for a complete recovery. Wishing you the best.

I'm in the hospital right now with a severe lumbar region problem. The surgeon still has to evaluate the MRI to see what is going on. Started and has gotten worse over the past week so I kinda expect surgery. I have never had such pain in my life - never. Can't sit up orplay down without MAJOR pain. Gun shop has been closed for now until I get this taken care. Will tell the surgeon it needs to be fixed by the middle of January so we can go to Huntsville.

I'll be in and out on the Forum and will keep y'all in the loop. .

Boy it's he** getting old

Ron

Sorry to hear. Been fused from my pelvis to L3 18 years ago. I was staring down a barrel several times a week before the surgery.

 

[Big Old Boy]

Hopefully all went well today and your on the mend, get well soon.

 

[Hvymax]

Hope it goes well. I can tell you the PT is super important for a good recovery.

Pain is your friend.

We have an update on Ron.

His surgery was postponed today until tomorrow (the 8th.) He's in a lot of pain for sure.

An inversion chair or device is a Godsend to me,, but in his case,, it's past that helping.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way for tomorrow Ron.

Good luck, Ron. 🍀

Sometimes a good Osteopath is a better choice than a Chiropractor.

 

[contender]

Well, I've gotten word that Ron's surgery went well. But he's still got some pain.

Keep him & Jackie in your prayers.

A BIG (sorry, not BIG but HUGE) thank yous to all who have sent me their prayers, you really are GREAT friends to take the time to help someone who may only know by this great forum. This really shows that many people care about their fellow man and I know that I will probably never have a chance to thank all of you in person but let me tell you I cherish all the notes you sent. May God or whomever you look up to for guidance bless you in all your endeavors.

 

[RoninPA]

Short note-every thing went perfectly, surgeon is very happy and I am already in PT and doing well. Will get discharged tomorrow and Jackie will be my task master See anyone going to Huntsville in January.

 

[Heliman]

Take care and get well soon!

 

[kentucky yeti]

Awesome report!

 

[Ride1949]

Fantastic news! Keep up with the PT but don't push it too hard. My surgery gave me another 5 good years in the shop before I decided to retire. It's been one of the best things I ever did.

 

[WendyZXZ]

Thanks for the update, glad to hear how things are going and getting better!

 

[RoninPA]

WOO HOO Looks like I get to go home this afternoon. Specific instructions on what to do and how to do it. No BLT (bending, lifting or twisting) just straight line walking for a while. Boy does that make me HAPPY.

If it's anything like mine you"ll get to wear this lovely plastic armpit to waist girdle for a while.
