UPDATE: [PLEASE excuse the caps. The antibiotic blurs my vision, and it is easier for me to see what I am typing. I am NOT shouting OR being loud.-Tom/Griz] WELL MY GOOD FRIENDS AND FAMILY...I AM NOW 28 DAYS OUT FROM SURGERY...AND MY INCISION IS STILL OPEN IN AN AREA, INFECTED, BUT MY DOCTOR IS AT WAR WITH THE INFECTION WITH SUPER HEAVY-DUTY ANTIBIOTICS AND ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT!!! I AM ON A 10 DAY PILL TREATMENT OF 400MG OF AVELOX, AN ANTI-MRSA ANTIBIOTIC THAT COSTS ABOUT $60 A PILL...AND ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT THAT WAS $275 FOR A DINKY TUBE THAT IS AN ANTI-MRSA ANTIBIOTIC AS WELL!!! I AM IN PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND GRADUALLY GETTING MY CORRECT WALKING GAIT DOWN, AND DOING A PLETHERA OF MILD EXERCISES TO STRENGTHEN MY HIPS, LEGS, AND BACK. DOES IT HURT? YOU BET YOUR DOUBLE DIMPLES IT DOES!!!! I HAVE ALMOST 100% REFLEX BACK UNDER RIGHT KNEE, ABOUT 60% UNDER MY LEFT KNEE. LEGS WILL BE WEAK UNTIL I GET THEM STRENGTHENED. THEY ARE STILL A BIT WOBBLY, BUT WORKING ON IT. I CAN STILL NOT DO STEPS, LEGS WONT WORK ON STEPS YET...FRIDAY THE THERAPIST WANTS TO START WORKING ON STEPS. IT WILL BE ROUGH...BUT I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE. AFTER TALKING TO MY GOOD FRIEND DAN ARMSTRONG EARLIER TODAY...I HAVE COME TO TERMS AND HAVE MADE PEACE WITH MY IMPATIENCE!!! I WILL NO LONGER TRY TO DO SELF-DOCTORING, LISTEN TO WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY ALONG WITH THE PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, AND LET THE PROFESSIONALS DIRECT THE SHOW!!! NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES...WE WILL EVENTUALLY SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!!! I HAVE ACCEPTED THAT THERE IS STILL MUCH MORE VERY HARD WORK TO DO AND ENDURANCE OF EVIL PAIN FROM HELL TO GET BACK TO AS CLOSE TO 100% I CAN GET!!! MY FRIEND DAN IS GOING THROUGH EXACTLY THE SAME THING I AM...HIS BACK SURGERY WAS A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE MINE...BUT DAN AND I ARE GOING TO LEAN ON EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE BOTH CAN RELATE AND TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH OTHER IS GOING THROUGH!!! ONE THING DAN AND I ARE 1,000% IN TOTAL AGREEMENT ON...WE ARE BOTH MARRIED TO VERY SPECIAL LADIES THAT TAKE DAMNED GOOD CARE OF US!!! AND JOINING DAN AND IS BIONIC BACK CLUB, WILL BE MY FRIEND IVE KNOWN SINCE HE WAS A KID, AND HIS BACK IS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION AND HE IS SAILING TOWARD THE SCALPEL ON THE 25TH, I BELIEVE, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD SEND SOME POSITIVES THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HIS WAY AS WELL...AND I AM TALKING ABOUT MY FRIEND BYRON WARVEL, JR., WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE NIGHTMARE OF BACK ISSUES SEVERELY RIGHT NOW. DAN, BYRON, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT THOUGH YOUR POSITIVE VIBES, PRAYERS, AND KIND WORDS. THERE YOU HAVE IT...SORRY I GOT WINDY, BUT I LIKE TO COVER ALL THE BASES. THATS IT FOR NOW HEALTHWISE...I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN AND SUPPORT...AND I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU...AND I MEAN THAT FROM MY HEART AND SOUL!!!! :) :D :) :D :) (Y)
