A few of you know that I have been dealing with back issues for a while. This will be my second back surgery in the last 2 years. The last one went great and I was back on the tennis courts about 6-8 weeks later. This one is more involved so I am hoping to be hitting them again in about 10 weeks. If this does not work then the next surgery will be a spinal fusion and the titanium cage which I am hoping I do not have to go for. That one could really screw up my serve.
Friday I also had confirmed by my doctor that I have kidney stones again for the 20 something time. I will have to get another lithotripsy to break up the stones, once I am recovered from the back surgery. I have had 2 of those in the last 3 years. Sometimes life just bends you over and breaks one off in your ass. lol

You know that my wishes are with you. As Roth said, 'you are a tough bastid'.
Hopefully your children will be there to help you and give you the family ties that are oh so critical in life, especially at these times.
Meantime, just make sure you have wi-fi wherever you are. I have so many questions...
All the best

Allan

Best of luck and hopefully you won't be off the boards or the courts very long. When it rains it pours.....but what the hell, we need the rain.

Ouch! Kidney stones are not fun. Best wishes on your surgery. Your expertise and good humor will be missed while you are gone.

Good luck Harris! I had 5 back surgeries in 2011, and a spinal stimulator. What kind of surgery are you having? I did everything to avoid a fusion..scary stuff! Hope all goes well. -Mike

Best of luck Harris. You are "da man". I hope you get a sexy nurse with a short skirt to tend to you while you mend.
