| My Basement Brothers, I'm heading into the hospital tomorrow for some surgey to help to reduce or eliminate the constant pain in my back. They are going to put a computerized pump about the size of a hockey puck somewhere between the top of my hip and my last rib. From there they are going to run a catheter from the pump into my spinal canal, and that's how I'll get pain medication from now on. They can't fix my back, but this will be a great way to minimize the pain. I'm hoping to be able to stand at the bandsaw, router and sander again after the recovery time. I hope that I can get back to painting more than one lure at a time. I'll keep you posted on what happens, I just hope that the surgeon is as skillful as we are!
Thanks my Brothers of The Basement,
Beaver |

| So far, so good.
They went in through my abs and destroyed my 6-pak 8D The incision pain is bad, and they started the meds for my back at a low rate, so I'm not getting much relief. I see the DR in 10 days so he can dial it up a little at a time.
I asked him to put the pump on the right side and he asked why. I told him,"Because I hold mu muskie rods on my left side. One good hook-set and that pump will shoot out of my butt-hole.
Thanks to everyone. I fealt very 'at ease' when they wheeled me into the operating room.
Now, to get back in shape of some sort....after 6-8 weeks of recooping.
