As those of you who are my FB friends know, I had back surgery Friday. Fragments and debris from L3 and L4 were pressing on nerves, and I was in excruciating pain at times last week. I was lucky to get into surgery so quickly. I came home yesterday morning and am doing well, although they warned me the nerve pain will return until the swelling around the discs goes down. It has but is mild by comparison. I should be back to what passes for normal for me soon.

Glad everything went well. Back trouble is horrible to deal with.

Glad it went well. Don't start squats until next week, and keep the weight under 100.

Just because it wouldn't be a TZ thread without it:

Seriously, glad it went smoothly and quickly and that you're recovering well.

Jim is way too much of a hardass to let this get him down. He once told George Washington that this back pain won't stop him from crossing that f---ing river. Get well soon.

Back issues are never fun, wish you a speedy recovery

rpntex · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2015, 10:47:08 am »

Glad to hear it went well, and you're on the road to recovery. I, myself, am on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. i've been told to be prepared to drop everything at a moment's notice when I get the call. So if i drop out of sight suddenly, you'll know where I am.

Godspeed, Jim.

Craig · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2015, 12:45:39 pm »

Good luck, Jim. I hope you recover quickly.

I'm glad the recovery is headed in the right direction. I hope it continues to improve.

Hang in there. Bourbon is on the way.

No, seriously. Me and the (newer) wife are supposed to be in Austin for a long weekend in September,

I plan looking you and Marky Mark up for sure; as well as any other un-self-respecting Austin area Astros fans, for a meet and greet at wherever the hell it is you guys drink these days.

Wife had a couple rods put in her back about 8 weeks ago.. she is doing okay but has a long road ahead to get back to where she was before the accident.

Get well soon Jim and don't overdo the recovery..

Coach, glad things are going well for you. My wife had back surgery a couple of years ago and it has helped her.

rpntex,

I will be praying for a quick kidney match, surgery and recovery.

Recovery is overrated ... just make sure you can reach the remote and have someone to refresh your drink.

Gum work. Right now I look and sound like Vito Corleone. But since I can't eat anything appetizing for a while, I ought to be able to lose a few pounds.
