Title: Tomorrow's the day...
Post by: lowell on June 19, 2013, 12:46:26 pm
Going to have back surgery.  Having a few sections fused together. 

  Be struggling with it for nearly 2 years and has continued to get worse.

  Would appreciate any prayers to be able to hunt this fall!! :)

  Anyone had a similar surgery and been able to keep hunting??

Good Luck Lowell, my hunting partner has been fighting his back for a few year so bad that he wasn't able to get out in the brush much. he had his fused this winter and is doing more walking now than he has for some time. I also had a brother-in-law that had it done and he still works in a lumber mill he also hunts. So many happy years hunting to ya. Ed

 I don't think I'm too far from having something similiar done. It's killing me right now.

I know 3 people that have had neck vertebrae fused and they were fine real soon after. The back may be a different animal though. Hope everything goes smooth for ya.

my wife was all neck surgery. Good luck with that. Remember to be a good patient and don't push things too hard in the recovery phase. Will add you to my prayers.

Glad to hear your wife isn't collecting on the insurance after all, Lowell!  Hope you are pain free and mobile as all get-out soon!
