    Awesome news!
    Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The surgery is not rough at all. Most people have it as an out-patient procedure having only a spinal block. My doc kept me in the hospital another day because he was biopsying the vertebrae and for pain management (I also had 4 compression fractured ribs). Pain relief was immediate, after recovery I went back to a room full of family. I put on a football game and ordered a couple of pizzas which I timed to arrive when my dinner came. We had a great time. I was amazed by my transformation. Let me know how it goes.

    The rib issue
    Hey Dave,
    I thought maybe you were out on the dune buggy. My rib issues probably will not be yours if they haven't cracked already. Technically, I'm in Ypsi Twsp. Worked in Ann Arbor, go to Cancer Support Center in Ann Arbor. Does ****ord mean Milford?

    Glad the back is improved!
    Glad the back is improved! The Cancer Support Center has patient groups Monday during the day and Tuesday evening. I went to the Royal Oak Gilda's when my mom was alive. The CSC here requests that you go through an orientation but they are flexible about when you can do it. Like Royal Oak, there are programs for your wife and children. Gilda's and the CSC merged a couple years ago. http://cancersupportannarbor.org/
