November 2nd

[KarlS]

Got a call from Neurosurgeon and back surgery scheduled for November 2nd. So getting bike put up and everything else in order best I can to be ready. Will be in hospital 5-10 days and then months of wearing a huge fiberglass brace. Brace makes you feel like a fool it's so big you have to wear it over your clothes with only sweat pants and tee shirt under it. Will have to quit eating to pay all the co-pays. Seems anyone that sticks their head in the door and asks "how you doing" sends you a bill. Enough of this wish me luck.

Thoughts and prayers are with you. I know it will go well.

"How you doin"?...ok send the bill payment to......:mo money:

 

 

 

 

Karl, good luck on your surgery. Hope it all goes well and your back (no pun) to normal soon. Will keep you in our prayers.

[Squidley]

All the best my friend, we'll be anxious to hear how it all turns out

Hey, the best of luck to you! Hope the healing goes fast.

Know what you mean about the co-pays, blink and they want a co-pay.

Just went in this aft to see a surgeon, finger clicks when it should roll smooth, something about a pivot point. outpaient surgery. I'll do it during the week in case we have a nice weekend and I'd want to be riding.

Best wishes on the surgery. Will say a prayer for ya!

 

...Fiberglass....that's kinda like plastic.....Ya know, you could put Venture graphics on that thing, airbrush a headlight on the front.......Hmmmmm! It could work. You could definitely have some fun with that (after a few weeks of healing time)

All the best for the surgery. I like the idea of painting the fibreglass cast -- might as well have some fun. If they are going to stare at you, might as well give 'em a show

[kenw]

Good luck! We'll be out here praying for you and you'll be in our thoughts. Please keep us informed!

[KarlS]

Thanks for all the kind words. Painting it? Not a bad idea. Might take it to my friend that owns a body shop. Look and feel stupid wearing it anyways, might as well go all the way.

Good luck with the surgery and I hope you heal well and fast!

 

Boomer.....who thinks you should have that brace airbrushed to look like a nekkid woman.

[ArticusMedicus]

IC, remember, I'm not that far away. If you need help with anything just say so bro.

 

 

PS, I like Boomer's idea

[Dano]

Good luck with the knife Karl, hope the recovery comes fast and complete. Hopefully this will be the last time you'll have to go through this.
