Title says it all. Neil had sustained an injury Staurday morning that left him unable to walk at this point. They are discussing the surgery options at this time and as usual he is fighting every option.
I am going to cover any and all orders that come in until he is back working again.

Neil

Listen to the Doc's and take care of your self. A back or neck injury is nothing to fight about. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Neil we will be praying and wish you well...

It's hard to listen to Doctors (I hate them) but try and be patient it takes time and work on your part to heal....


TIME is not an easy thing...hang in there, we're thinking of you...

Update

Time for an update.
This is hard on all of us here. I can't remember ever seeing my father in this much pain. I know he is hurting because he is very quiet and peaceful, not his normal way. He is actually cooperating with the doctors to a point but is refusing any surgery. I know something is wrong because he isn't hitting on every nurse in the building or trying to sneak into the cafeteria. He told me today that he plans to sign himself out by the end of the week. He is able to walk somewhat but is all bent over and moving real slow. He did do some additional damage to a disc and says he will adjust to it in time. He has some idea that he is going back to work on Monday and everything will be fine. I think the pain pills are making him delusional.
If he does sign himself out, I will take a LOA to help him out.
 
Thanks for the update....I had a triple fusion L-3,4,5 (I think) about 10 years ago.
It was a long road not fun at the time. Took about 3 months before I could really walk good and a year for a full recovery.....Now 10 years later I can hike, jog and do just about anything with no pain....
My big advise would be don't get hooked on pain meds (I did) keep moving physical therapy would be the best med...I got hooked on meds and feel into a deep dark hole...
DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN
Good Luck and we wish you well....
 
Please pass along my wish of a speedy recovery to him. Anthony you know is jarheads, more stubborn than a cross between a goat and a mule. I've had some back surgeries so tell him they aren't all bad. If you guys need anything and it's in my power I will do it. Let me know.

And on the lighter side he may have to change Semper Gumby to Semper In Dolore (pain I believe).

Get better Neil. This Gunny is pulling for you.

Hi Tony, glad to hear that Neil is doing somewhat better. Don't let him push it too much things take time to heal and he can make it much worse by doing too much. I have found that it takes A LOT longer to heal after you get older. Your mind tells you it is no big deal and you will be fine, but your body disagrees, and your body wins....
