Hey Johnny,
Best wishes for a successful surgery with a quick recovery and no road bumps! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as the Lord brings you to mind.
Blessings,

Thanks to all and I will keep you all informed. I do have one last question to pose you guys. I have heard recovery times from several weeks up to one year. Any idea how long before I am able to go back to work? Since I live alone (except for my Dauschound, Sammy), will I need someone here? If so, how long? Thanks again. Johnny

Dascor (disc nucleous replacement) surgery scheduled in 7 days
