Thanks guys ,Im so glad to be free of the pain ,I'm going to be able to accomplish so much more when fully recovered ,I just have to be real cautious about re injuring myself.

So glad you're feeling better John. PLEASE don't re-injury yourself. Not sure how old you are but us older guys would like to do what we did before. Not always the best idea though. Be well.

Hank ,I am 53 and I promise I am going to take good care of my back from now on ,done some really stupid stuff in my younger days of pipeline construction. If I do any heavy lifting after the Dr's give the go ahead I will seek help .

Glad to hear you are healing. Still take care of yourself and don't rush it.

So glad to hear you are doing better John. Can't wait to see you and Joan.

We cant wait to see what Ohio has to offer this year .

I go back to see my back surgeon next month for a check up and I think he will be pleased as I am still mostly pain free unless I overdo it .Have not needed any pain meds at all for a good while ,very happy about that ,I dont do pain meds good .
