Success under the knife:super:

Thank you all for the encouragement and kind words regarding my surgery today.
It was a success for sure, but took a bunch longer.

Doc said the scar tissue build-up from 2 previous back surgeries, 13 & 20 years ago,
had "grown" all around the disc area he was going to work on, so, he had to remove all of that first.:help:

Two hours, he said, it took to remove the scar-tissue and that he has never
seen one so big as to cover such a relatively large area in all his years of medicine. :surprised:
(Of course; it's me we're talking about here, not the average Joe, for Pete's sake.) :razz:

Oh well, it didn't bother me in the least............,but, of course, I was in la la land. :devil:

The fractured vertebrae "was a snap". Just a puncture-type hole on both sides of it.
I'd guess one was for a light/camera and the other one for the very large syringe with an even larger needle
(seemed like a small straw in diameter...lol) to put the bone cement inside the broken one.

Glad it's finally done and can now officially say I am starting to heal HOO - HOO!!!

Thanks again from Captain Ron :cheekkiss:

PS for Jerry......I trust your back surgery was a complete success today, also. Heal fast.
 
Glad everything went well captianron.I dont suppose you were in any condition to bring up the warranty issue from the other two surgeries?:biggrin::biggrin:
 
>>but, of course, I was in la la land<< :stretcher:

That always helps :beers:

Good to hear Ron. I'll see you at the club hunt in two weeks. I'll bring my (reale) pirate treasure and compare it to yours. Take care.
 
Great to hear it all went well. For that warranty thing now...they would have had to have kept all original receipts and containers for the glue.(Warranty is fairly clearly stated on the side of those tubes so now ...if they only kept them?) Also...I'll officially start the donation pool for a "Swingy Thingy"... 5 bucks here!!
 
Thanks....and I think they forgot to put the warranty card in with my papers I took home. They must have misplaced it, eh? :rofl:

I, also, think I heard one of the nurses say the warranty becomes void as soon as I left the operating room, hmmmm. :shrug:

I haven't really seen anyone who has used the "Swingy Thingy". Are they really helpful for "lightening the load" or allowing for longer hunts from less fatigue?

I do plan on trying to show up for the hunt. Not sure I'll be able to do any swinging by then, but, if I can, you can bet the farm I'll be giving it a good shot until it gets too sore.

What type back surgery did you have, Jerry? And how is the prognosis?

Hey Mic, I do have a titanium plate in my neck you could try and see what VDI I have and how "pretty" the sine waves are on Analyze. As Johnny says on the Price Is Right, "Come on down"

Now that we're all having fun it's time to "sine" off. :razz: .....and take some more pills
 
Here's a forum link on the Swingy Thingy....thingy. Don't quite know how it hooks up (or if it will on the V3) but I guess it does help with rotators issues. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,940126,940126#msg-940126

Never thought I'd be interested in somethin' like this but starting to feel a rotator cuff tear and be danged if I'm ready for the knife this early in the season! (If I can help it at least.) Can't help but think it'd be helpful with a bad back possibly. ( A couple months back, a gentleman purchased an MXT:shrug: so....be danged if I'm going to do the "Wo is me thing"!!) Do they make 100% graphite wheel chairs?:confused: Guess he is going to be helped by some interested grand kids. Pretty cool really as he was very excited to have something fun to do with them.:thumbup:
 
Welcome back from La.La land Ron and glad to hear it was a success. Will see you soon.
 
OOPS! FIXIN" MY LAST POST!!! Gentlemen purchase metal detectors all the time...this one was in a wheel chair!:surprised: Oh well....
 
Hey Ron, glad to here you are better. At one time before my shoulder operation i built a swing type thing for my MXT it worked fine and would work on your Vision. I could be adjusted so the detector was weightless or even required a little pressure to push it to the ground.

The ring was just zip tied to the shaft.
