I just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the kind thoughts regarding my back surgery. The surgery was last night and all went very well. I was released this afternoon around 2:00, so I only spent about 20 hours total in the hospital. It's really amazing how far that surgery has come in the past 15 years or so.
It'll be awhile before I can get back in the shop, and my days of lifting heavy stuff are definitely over. (So much for my dream of winning an Olympic gold medal in power lifting!) But I remain hopeful that I can begin getting some shop time this summer.
For those of you with disc problems, consider the new micro discectomy procedures. The pain down my leg is completely gone, and I could tell the difference as soon as I woke up from anesthesia. I have a fair amount of pain at the surgery site, but it'll go away over the next few weeks. If you need a good neurosurgeon, drop me a note.
Thanks again, folks. I really appreciate your support.
