Update on Captchas
Some guy named John sent me an update on Charlie.
The surgury took 6 hours and the doctor fused 3 of the lowest levels in the neck. That is a quote from the email and I am not sure if it means the bottom 3 vertabrae, I assume it does.
He is in a lot of pain and is on a Morphine IV but can't wait to go home Thursday.
I know you all join me in wishing him a quick recovery . Take care , Don.

Tell cap'n we're pullin' for him!
I've not had to have any fusions, but lower back surgery was definitely no fun. Morphine in the hospital & some fun-time pills afterwards... don't be afraid to use 'em when ya need 'em!

The operation took all the pain away and he walks perfectly normal now.
For him it was the best thing he ever did.
All the best and good luck with your hip replacement. Take care, Don
