Best wishes to you Greg. We'll keep you and your family in our prayers, for the best of all possible outcomes! Good luck! Shari
Greg, I will keep you in my thoughts as well..Hope all goes well for you as well as your family.We will await your return with high hopes.If at all possible,have someone keep us updated on you.We all have our little things here,but our friendships and health are more important that our Buicks...Get well soon and Good Luck tomorrow. Pat
Greg, I got your email. Wow, the 22nd came faster than expected. But thats a good thing. This ends one chapter in your life, to begin a healthier and more fun chapter full of friends, family and buicks. I am still looking forward to going junkyard hopping with you as i've never set foot in one my entire life. Greg you are a great, brave man and I will be praying extra hard for you.
Ouch. Good luck. I've only known a few people to have this done, but they said it helped them a lot. When you get out of surgery and the doctor is there, pretend the operation mysteriously changed which hand is dominant.
Greg, you have prayers from a couple of flatlanders out here!! Keep a good attitude and get better fast. I want to see you at Bruce and Shirl's shindig next year!! My Grandma had her leg amputated just above the knee when she was nearly 80. I was there in the recovery room with her when she came out. I asked her "How do you feel?" To which she replied, in true Gramma fashion, "I feel okay, but I think I have a limp!" That is the kind of attitude you need to have. Don't let it get you down. You will come out of this better than before.
writing for my dad this is Brian he showed me where to get on and let you guys know he still lives sitting in a study hale now with a teacher watching me do this good thing he's a friend of the old man and is on this site once in awhile as well ; - ) anyways my Dad is doing great they said 10 days and we got him home on saturday 3 days doctor said he's a nut and to keep him going tested out of the rehabe to come home in one day doctor just shock his head and said to get him out of here there are other people that realy need them and shock all our hands they fused all 4 vertabra adn the doctor said it was the worst one he ever did in all the years he's been doing it the cancer ait a hole threw muscle and the cartlidge and some of the bone was gone as well said he shouldn't even be walking, someone is keeping him upright told my mom there are some things that will never be explained in life, he's only a messanger, helper, not the healer, super nice guy i think a doctor Ahuga out of the sience building down there in milwakee if he's like anything else in life he's done he'll probably be on here soon says its an adiction just to look anyways, likie he always says he's sucking air and taking up space ; - ) and i want to say thank you as well for the prayers and support this group of people give to us thank you Brian
Great to hear you are stepping up to the plate for old dad...Tell him to get well and not be in a big hurry to take his time healing.Its good to see you care enough to let us know his situation... Great Job Brian...
Hey Brian, say hello to your dad from me. Been thinking about his recovery, and I hope all goes well for him and the family too. Thanks for keeping us updated on his condition, sound like he's gung ho to get back up and around. :TU:
Hi People it's me can only sit for a bit at this computer chair but thought i would drop something onto my son's update by the way Brian's a cool kid people know why you have kids and parents know they did good when they have a kid like Brian around well i've been doing well walking ok but with a walker i have to wear body brace for up to 6 month they tell me now, but i can feel my feet and legs good now so the operation must of did well there was a big hole in my back from past cancer and they said that was just rooting my spine lost 4 disks in all they did put 1/2 inch metal blocks between the vertabra to staighten my spine back up wife says she has to reach to kiss me again some guys got it lucky i guess :grin: then they screwed 2 screws into 4 of the vertabra and with rods and force said they pulled them straight again and off of the nerves and spinal cord i can do no bending or twisting for a long time if it breaks now the doctor said i will be parelized or dead i think i take it easy :Smarty: :spank: well talk to you guys later and thanks for the prayers and hope see you soon Greg :3gears:
Glad to hear from you Greg. :TU: Good to see that the surgery was succesful. Take care of yourself, those doctors are usually pretty much bang on with post op care. Looking forward to tramping through some yards with you, maybe next year. :beer
