Wolftat Back in Hopsital

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I'm back home and standing upright again without surgery. I am weening myself off these damn meds they gave me. I figure that I'll take the rest of the week to recover and then head into work on Monday, boss said I can pull desk duty until I'm ready to go back in the field. I think I can survive a half a day at a desk.

This is your back. It houses your spinal cord. Don't screw with it.

I have had a back problem for over 10 years now. They always want to do surgery and they always tell me the same thing. They make it clear that after surgery I may be in a wheel chair for the rest of my life, I'm not in one now and am not going to be in one, why take the risk.

I'm actually with you on this one Neil. Do take care of your back but to heck with surgery. They keep asking if they can fuse my spine. Not a chance.
 
I can understand your reluctance to surgery, my mom had back surgery many years ago and they really messed her up! They wanted to do another surgery to "fix" it, but she would have none of it! She's still going but pretty hobbled.
Seems like there should be a balance between being tough and being smart about it. We know you are tough Neil, =) .... Proceed with caution whatever you do!
