Spoke with Tom yesterday. He had his surgery last Friday. Right now it is painful to sit so he hasn't checked his emails in awhile. Probably be some time before he's up and around. Didn't mention any problems so keep your fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

I heard from Big Tom this morning. He said he has a lot of pain, uncomfortable when he sleeps, but what's really bad are the muscle spasms. He stated that he is sure that in a few weeks this will be just a memory. He was going in today to get a Bone Generating treatment. I'm sure he will be posting once he is feeling better.

Boy it looks like he's have a tough time. I'm sure he'll get through it. I'm having a little trouble with my incision not closing completely. Just on little area not sealing up. I actually sat on my bike yesterday and started it for a bit up to running temp. Maybe another 5 weeks and I'll be on it.

Thanks for thinking of me guys.
I didn't take him seriously when he said "6 Weeks of agony". Duh.
I'm 9 days out today and I'm seeing marginal improvements. Base level pain is not bad but these Muscle Spasms are killer. I finally found a decent sleeping position sitting almost straight up.
I'm using a walker because if I get a spasm while moving it will drop me to the floor.
The Bone Regenerator was delivered here on Friday. Looks like a steering wheel. It's on a belt so I belt it on and press the button. 30 minutes later it beeps and I take it off. I don't feel it working but they say it will help. 1 Treatment a day.
No driving for 6 weeks. I can't get a time frame out of them for the Bike.
Big Mac. Thanks for the Prune Juice tip, it helps...
Finally a big thanks to Patty. Without her continual support and Oat Bran Muffins I would be lost..
