I went through a year or more of recuperation a while back. It sucked being down....but I feel better now than I had for many years. A little patience now and J will feel like a new man in a short while....

In Jeremy's case, I'd expect him to be feeling MUCH better by the weekend. His body was healthy, other than this back injury.

How does it feel to be the first AS member with a face transplant? You should have asked for a catalog of pics and have chosen the donor. Oh well, I guess beggars can't be choosers!!

Glad you made it out ok. I think you will be surprised how much better you feel tomorrow. I mentioned your surgery to my wife and she said to hang in there, your throat will only feel like you have been fed a bucket of glass shards for a week or so.

First, Good to see you made it through and I sincerily hope you're back 100% ASAP.

Second, You're way too young to be killing your back/body like that. You have a long way to go and you need that body to see it through. Take care of it. It's the only one your going to get.

I've always have heard that it takes monkeys longer to heal! :jester:

Wiggs, again glad you're OK. Now rest my Man. Be patient. And don't try and do too much too soon. There's a lot of nerves in there. the big facet, and all that inflammation has to first settle down then heal. Takes awhile. So if you're like me and us you'll want at it. It's how we got the bad backs in the first place. Keep telling yourself PATIENCE and get on AS! Take care!!!

Well, believe it or not, I'm home.

That was the longest, most painful trip from Nashville I have ever endured. :(

So I'm camping out in the recliner. Just me, muh phone and muh ice packs.

Oh, and my Perceset's. :)

I got a feeling it's gonna be a long couple weeks...
