Hey Dan

[Michael S Murray]

Dan,
I been really busy and havent been on forum much, but I dont see anything recent from you.
How is your recovery going? I hope you are progressing in the right direction!

Hey Mike

I'm still alive but not allowed to do much of anything. I finally got to take my neck brace off last week so sleeping is a bit easier now.

I go back to the doctor in early January and I'm hoping everything will look good with the fusions.

By the way, here is a pic of the gizmo I have to wear four hours a day for the next year! No, that's NOT me in the pic but you can see why I would be afraid to wear it to an airport--might get mistaken for a terrorist.

Yes Dan, you might want to go ahead and send that necklace apparatus to Cancun before you head over there for 6 months of beach therapy. Might cost you a day or two with the TSA if you tried to get through with that around your neck.
Good to hear from you.

[DanEpps]

Yeah, not to mention the countdown timer on top and the constant tick-tick-tick sound coming from it.

Hi Dan,

Glad to hear you are getting better. What does that apparatus do other than looking pretty?

[DanEpps]

The doc removed two discs and replaced them with bone fragments and this is supposed to stimulate bone growth with small, electro-magnetic pulses.

Holy cow Dan! What happened to your neck?

[DanEpps]

Old age

Two completely worn out discs (had the same problem about 14 years ago and had another fusion) had to be removed and fused. I just had surgery on three discs in my lower (lumbar) back a year ago. I'm just falling apart.

I hope you have a speedy recovery and I think you can make that Buck Rogers look work...lol
