Well… surgery is over… it went well apparently. The doctor got everything he was looking for and I should be fine.
I’m happy to have it behind me… but the incision is very painful and I can’t sit or stand for a couple days. I’ve got books and internet access so I’ll get through this.
Angie stayed in my hospital room last night… was here for the surgery and when I woke up and then she stayed until about 4PM when she returned home to take Bethanie to dance class. She is on her way back here to the hospital right now and will stay the night again. She’s making all these trips on the scooter… please pray for her safety and if you see her on the road… give way because she’s in a hurry to either see me or go see the kids. 
She’s a miracle worker to all who know her. What a blessing she is!
My nurse just told me that I need to keep my legs straight for a while so it makes it hard to type in bed… so I’m gonna close this post… I’ll be in touch more later.
Thanks for praying for this. I’m thankful for all of your comments, emails, and phone calls.

We are so glad to hear everything was ok. I must have been having sympathy pains for you as my back has been hurting the past couple days.

Dude,
I am SO glad that you are going to finally get some relief. I know that this has been a pain for a long time and am really glad that you were able to get this done.
To bad you are not going to grow 3 inches like Dave, but I’m sure you are happy anyway.
Hope the pain passes quick and you are back on your feet soon. Take car,
Jon
