Very early in the AM here, I have to be at the hospital at 5:00 AM. Having my first surgery today, getting a lamenectomy, spinal fusion and some nice titanium hardware so I can confound the airport metal detectors. Not looking forward to the long recovery but hopefully this will get me back to a normal life. I should be able to do quite a bit when I recover but the days of going on ten day dig trips to the east and trudging the river banks in scuba gear are probably over. My partners are back there now on a dig trip I am missing, I hope they score big. Good news is I have been able to do quite a bit of digging and diving and have a lot of good memories, I have made some decent finds over the years. I can also come to this forum where I just love to see what others are finding or adding to their collections. Anyway as I said here goes nuthin.

Hey Steve,

Best wishes for a big surgical success, and a rapid and 110% recovery. That "normal" stuff is highly overrated IMO, I'd go for a variation of delightfully abnormal, myself...[8D]

I had 3 fused in 2006 (at 52 yoa) and was playing softball 2 months later feeling 1000% better with no pain. So good luck to you and diving should be no problem at all.

Thanks for the kind and encouraging works. The Doctors say the outcome of the operation was very good, I will give it about six months and see where I am at. Thanks again.
