Damn are we gettin older or what? I'm having back surgery too tomorrow 2/5. They are suppose to call today between noon and 4pm to let me know what time I need to show up. I hope it's early...I got bone spurs and something called spinal stenosis that is pinching off the nerves running down my legs in the L2-3, 4-5 disks plus they are also herniated (sp?). I've had the cortizone shots and they worked great for a short time. But I would have had 3 shots in about 7 months and they said no more. Good luck dustyr, we'll be back shooting before you know it.
