 Ar> Avon, 

Hey there :)

 Ar> Well today was the first day I have been able to sit with somewhat
 Ar> comfort at my desk. The BBS has been on auto using the MyGUI program 
 Ar> completely flawless.

Yay for that, it's always good when things run OK when you're not about. I hope for the same when I am away from my systems.

 Ar> The operation was on 2/2 and it lasted 6:45min. The doctors called it
 Ar> "some kind of ugly" but a complete success. I am healing and moving
 Ar> around on a walker and get stronger every day. Just the joy to stand and
 Ar> walk again since 1990 without pain and lack of feeling in my legs has
 Ar> been 32 years of hope and prayer.

Oh that's wonderful news, congrats. I know you were feeling nervous about ut all but excited to get stuff done too... glad it worked out OK. Over that hump now.

 Ar> L4-S1 completely rebuilt and fused, spinal nerve pinch corrected, 12
 Ar> screws, three rods, caged and all pined to my hip. major ouch! 

This sounds like the voice over for 6 million dollar man :)

 Ar> The 1990 gift of Baghdad that was left pinned to my spine was removed.
 Ar> Technology is incredible and yes, this was 85% done robotic. One of the
 Ar> doctors was a neurosurgeon that was actually trained and did his
 Ar> fellowship in New Zealand, now practicing in Florida. 

Small world huh? 

Well that's FAB news, I'm glad you're on the mend, had been wondering how you were so I'm stoked for you that you're getting better.

Kind regards
