health and a call for help


Well yesterday I got to see the report of the MRI from the neurosurgen. Basically I have stenosis which is where the bone around the spine shrinks and squeezes the spinal cord. I see a that Dr. on Tuesday and then from there to Barnes in St. Louis to see a specialists for a second opinion. The pain here lately has not been that bad. Getting out of bed is hard as it seems that is when I have the most pain. My primary care Dr. and the sports Medicine Dr. Tell me that I should put off surgery as long as possible. If I am not in sevre pain and don't have any weakness I should hold off. I will have to see what the two neurosurgens have to say. From there we will make a decession. If there is nothing else to be done but surgery then Jane and I will miss this year's conference.

When we go to the conference this year I will need help in getting things out of the van as I can not lift heavy items and heavens tubs of fiesta are not light. Any takers out there that might be going to the conference? I would then need some help in getting back to the van the stuff that does not sell. I am sure I could buy you a drink or two for helping Jane and I out.

We will have some good deals on items we are taking to this year's conference.

Thanks
Andy and Jane
