I've got spinal surgery scheduled for Monday. It's not a high-risk thing and the prognoises is good for significant recovery of function in flexing my left ankle. However, I will be flat on My back and offline for two weeks, starting Monday....so don't burn the place down while I'm gone, eh?

Hey Alan,
Are you gonna have anything for your back like Sleddog had for his knee?
I guess you wouldn't be "flat" on your back then, would you.
Word of advice: before you ask Joan to bring you another beer, first call her Princess. You'll get better results.
Hope you have a speedy recovery!
They don't call me Scull Crusher Johnson for nothin.

I got a "second opinion" from an orthopedic surgeon, who sent me to a neurologist for some electrodiagnostic testing. Upshot is, the damage that is messing up my left foot/ankle is in my knee, NOT in the dorsal nerve root. Therefore NO SURGERY. I just have to be patient and wait 1-6 months for whatever healing will naturally take place, to actually happen. Walking is difficult, but I can do it for extended periods, especially if I wear boots with lots of ankle support.
Some healing has occurred already. I can evert (twist sideways and outwards) my foot, though I can't flex it past mid-point. Two and a half weeks ago I couldn't evert it at all. So this is good....
YAY...so I will be on board for the Seminar on the 19th.
