MIKE'S SURGERY & RV DREAMS RALLY!!!

Mike's Surgery:
Mike had his back surgery on Wednesday, February 20th. After a small complication, a nicked vein, was fixed, the back fusion went as planned without a hitch. He is recovering and finally out of ICU. The surgeon was able to remove the ruptured disc and replace it with a little metal basket and screws. The basket will allow the bone to grow through it and fuse that section and hold it stable while it is fusing. He will have to wear a back brace for about 3 months, but that is a small sacrifice to make to be able to live without so much pain. In short he is doing well and should be able to come home, maybe by mid- week.
