Woke up this morning, and I can't walk, so, off to the emergency room where the doctor says emergency surgery is probably in order. I guess the river is out for this weekend, bummer. Well, if they just shoot me full of drugs, it's still a chance. If you see me, just look for the drooling guy.
Either way, talk to you all in a few days I hope (unless the focker kills me) :D

Well, went into surgery at 10:30 last night, and got out at 4:30 this morning. My L4-L5 disc ruptured really big time and shattered into many pieces. L3/4 was herniated, and L5-S1 was torn. Seeing that this was my 3rd back surgery, and am already being scheduled for a fourth, the sad reality is I will for sure be retired off the fire department. It was seriously one of the jobs I truly loved, and would have done for free if I could have supported my family. A true passion. A very sad day for the family and I, lots of tears shed.
Anyway I'll post more later, I'm on web tv here at the hospital, and it's so slow it's incredible, but if it tells you something about the drugs I'm on, I still can't keep up.

I'm sorry to hear about you not getting to return to the job you loved. :( That's worth some tears of grief - have at it. I'm relieved to know you made it out of surgery okay and I hope your healing time is fast. I was wondering earlier today how you were doing - thanks for posting under the influence to update us. :wink: Please take care, phebus. :smile:

Rick, this is such a bummer. I want you to know that all of us at 38s have you in our thoughts and prayers! As for the retirement... you can retire but you will ALWAYS be a part of us, we truly do miss you. We all wish you the best. I have been trying to call Linda but have not been succesful, please have her call me.
Hang in there brother, I will see you sooner than you think! :smile:

Rick,
Havent they discussed a fusion yet? With injuries to that many levels they will usually fuse it... Do they think your symptoms are from all the levels or one of them?
Hope your doing better..
