Happt Easter all!!!
Havent been on for almost 2 weeks, back it total out. Cant even walk on my leg. Dr has me on a second round of steroid, valum and percocet!! Wife was finally able to get out to get a MRI, Now have too see what dr say. my guess is more surgery on L3-4 L4-5 and maybe L5- S-1. But thats just from wha I see ( had a copy of disc made before I left and since I have had 5 MRI's I got pretty good at reading (looking) at them. Now to decide if I get one replacement and the other rods or all rods. Ill check in again soon, kids brought me the lap top and set it up on pillows to use. Hard to do while laying on your back. Remember, you dont have sh!t with out your health!!! Take care everyone!

Hope all goes well Lab.
My brother is getting major surgery on Wednesday...we found out several months ago that he has a 2" tumor in his right lung..he is only 20 years old...so his life has been on hold for several months until doctors could figure out what it was and how they are going to treat it. They think it's Sclerosing Mediastenitis...which is non-cancerous...but they said it still could be cancer. The tumor is in a very complicated spot...so we will see how it goes. Doctors believe they can remove the whole mass within a 5 hour operation. Please keep him in your prayers as well.

Thanks for the well wishes. John good luck with you brother!!!
Got bad news, I knew I had 2 or 3 bad disc's L3-4 l4-5 and l5-s1. But, they found a new one L2-3 ruptured. Its into the nerve canal and thats why I cant use my leg. So it will be surgery this Thurs. Good news is where the disc blew should be easy to remove. ( but fixing this wont help all the other problems I have with the other discs.) well one day at a time.
Here is the MRI view. look inthe red circle. that canal should be clear but you cand see the big bulge sticking all the whay out
