Going in for Surgery on the 12th of This Month.

[cigrmaster]

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

Harris
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

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

Harris - have a speedy recovery. Any chance there will be a side effect, like getting a taste for Latakias?
