Update on Stringstretcher(Charlie Jefferson)
« on: July 18, 2012, 08:12:30 pm »
I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers of late, and would like to ask that you continue them for me.

Tuesday July 24th, I will be going to VCU for an operation on my left inner ear, that will completely eliminate my left side balance function due to this dreaded Minere's disease. I also will have the complete vestibule of theinner ear that controls the vestibular function taken out. All of this will be done via drilling all the affected areas out of my inner ear.

To say I am scared is putting it mildly, because of the possibility of not being able to do things that I used to do, or not being able to do things that I can now. Only time will tell.

I will most likely be off of the computer for a extended period of time, but will keep a few informed as I can on the progress as I can.

This will be a long long road to travel in recovery and be at least 8-12 weeks of operation/rehab recovery time.

Let's hope I can get in the woods on October, even if someone has to carry me!!

Thanks and God Bless

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
