Hello, Just wanted to tell everyone that my current condition is not good. I am currently suffering a condition with my ciatic nerve (spelling uncertain). I may be out of commision for some time as I have alot of trouble sitting in a chair for any length of time and have shooting pain down my leg to my foot. I currently have no feeling in my right leg or foot. Today, I am going to the hospital for xrays and a possible MRI. So, if I don't answer any posts right away, I hope you all understand. I'm sure that Tom L and DB Donlon will be here to keep an eye on things. As soon as I am better, I will be back full force. |

Just an update, I have been told that I likely have a problem with a disc in my back. The doctor has scheduled an MRI to be performed this week. I have been ordered to not go to work for the rest of the week, that's going to be difficult for me because I actually enjoy work. Anyway, as long as my pain medication keeps working, maybe that will give me some time to work on the forum and website. |

So if I come to the forum and you have a new pink backdrop with teddy bears, I should blame it on the pain meds, right?
:lol: But seriously, sorry to hear about the back and leg, Billy. I hope you make a full recovery.

Are you taking lessons from the Squatchdetective? :lol: Seriously, thanks for the get well wish. It's the first time I've ever experienced it so I learn something new about it everyday. My wife had it a couple of years back and she ended up with back surgery. I'm hoping I can avoid that because I don't get along well with needles! Sorry...I'm a whimp when it comes to needles.

Well, here is the latest. I am scheduled for back surgery on Thursday April 17th, on my oldest son's birthday! LOL!!! I have been told the surgery should take about 30 mins and that I should fully recover and be back to good health within a month after. I simply have a herniated disk in my lower back that is pressing on the nerves causing my leg and foot pain and numbness. I'm really not too crazy about this, I've never had surgery before, I'm a rather healthy guy, but I guess its a first time for everything. So, please keep me in your prayers, I'm not finished with my Bigfoot research yet darn it!!! |

Well, the day has finally come. I go under the knife at 3:45 pm Thursday April 17. I think I have finally prepared myself mentally for this. I will give an update on my condition as soon as I can. Thanks to everyone who has called, emailed and messaged me. It truly means alot to me! |

Ok, surgery went fine. The herniated disk was a bit larger than first expected. Other than a few minor setbacks (getting stuck in bed for an hour and needing 3 people to pull me out, running fevers), now I seem to be doing alot better. I am able to get up and down without any assistance and walk around for a good length of time. I have a follow up visit with the surgeon this Thursday and he will then likely tell me I can go back to work with limited activity. Again, thanks to everyone for the get well wishes I recieved. |

Wow, when it rains it pours, my computer has seen its last day. I am on a temporary computer until I get my custom built one in the next few days. I will be here only ocassionally until I get my new computer. Physically, I'm doing much better. I have been cleared to go back to work this Monday. Take care all. |

Well, just an update...I am doing much better. No back pain at all. I am going through three weeks of physical therepy to try and regain full strength back in my right leg and foot. In addition, I figure it wouldn't hurt to lose some pounds, so I've been walking about 3 miles a day. So...things are good and I'm back in the field! |

How's the back now? As you know, I was recently forced to lose some weight due to high blood pressure. I know how much that sucks! |

Yeah, I'm down to 195 and they want me at 175 at least. I can't eat anything. I can't even LOOK at food that I want to eat or it ruins the diet. Glad to hear you are doing so well. I do need to get out there and at least do some night recording. I'm rusty! |
