Be careful with ya kids!

I was "rough housin" with my 7 yr old girl Sunday mornin trying to get her up outa bed to get ready for church and felt a sharp pain in my neck. After 2 days of suffering pain I went to the doctor this morning. X-rays showed C 4 thru 7 vertebrae are outa line pretty bad causing disc problems. Doc says can prolly fix it with therapy. He said he could prolly guarantee surgery for me within the next 10 yrs if we can't get it straight and keep it there. Can't hardly turn my head. Looks like no fishin for me for a few weeks. This sucks!

I gotta good doc in Olive Branch. He treats several athletes from the mid-south area. The ol rodeo clown from Collierville, Lecile Harris, goes to him. I'll hafta look ito some of em. I seen some U of M Tiger pics on the wall this mornin with autographs on them but didn't have time to check em out. Prolly some of the old guys, I know current players are taken care of per U of M docs in Memphis.

Get it lined up NOW! Get a MRI so they know everything they need to know. YES its expensive but I have 3 degenerative discs in my lower back L-5-4-3 and I herniated L-2-3 (Bulge) last month, I have NO spinal fluid in the lower 3 now, bone spurs in the epidural holes where the nerve roots come out for my legs. I have been in pain for the past 10 years and am undergoing some epedural treatments right now and in therapy. It got to the point last month where I was crawling to the bathroom and NOTHING would stop the pain (I tried everything from Asprine to OXICODONE). I just wasnt going to be on narcatic pain killers my entire life so I made a appointment with the best lower back surgion I could find, he made suggestions and good physical therapist (he is the man from hell I might add) but he can make me feel good I just hate the workouts and the diet sucks even worse.

I have no choice but fusion in the next 5-10 years and that is ill reversable if something goes south. I'm on a massive exercise program and a diet even a hog would hate. I have dropped 9 pounds in the last 3 weeks and I have 29 (I was bumping 230) more to go and I'll feel like I am back where I need to be. My goal is to be 180 by Christmas but 190 is more realistic.

My back is like this because I didnt take care of myself during my early adult years. I thought I was invinsable and anything would heal and I'd be fine. Well I was wrong.
