Title: Doctor's reaction
Post by: Darrell on June 05, 2007, 06:41:21 PM
I recently had spinal surgery to remove a couple discs from the cervical area of my spine. I have to go back for checkups every 3 months. Well, my surgeon shaves his head. My last visit was the first time he saw me Sly. So, when he came into my treatment room I decided to greet him with "How are you my son?" He looked at me and said "That looks great! It's the only way to go"

His middle name is Blake, and he goes by his middle name. I asked him if he would mind if I called him "Blake." He said, "you can call me anything you want, we both have the same hair style."  8)

My dad has had 13 back surgeries.  I know what you are going through.  Good luck and have a successful recovery.

Recovery is going pretty well, Tyler. I've got this electromagnetic device that I have to wear around my neck 4 hours per day (helps with internal healing). I've had 2 surgeries so far, and have 7 herniated discs left. Probably will have 2-3 more operations. As Paul said, I have a Sly surgeon, so no worries.
