Just got home from the hospital

Bill,

You are one lucky dude! Lancaster is a fine hospital and I am sure that your procedure saved you from a much worse fate.

Take it very slow and easy.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Lew

I am sorry to hear of your accident. Prayers for your quick, complete recovery.

Bill;

WOW! Let your guard down for two seconds and disaster strikes!

I hope you are in as good shape as new very quickly. I’m really sorry to hear this happened.

I’m sure the folks at Hearnes were really shook up as well. They are terrific people there.

I wish you a very speedy and complete recovery!

Whatever you do, don’t rush into getting back into the swing of things.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Bill. We aren’t made of rubber, like those young ‘uns anymore.

I am glad to hear that you are back home. I wish you nothing but the best during your period of recovery.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Good luck with your recovery. Accidents can happen so quickly!

Sorry about you accident and glad you got a 2nd opinion. I have 4 out of 7 levels in my neck fused so I can relate. Mine was just deterioration and not caused by an accident. Be sure to follow all the Dr’s instructions and don’t get in too big of a hurry to start back to doing ordinary things. I am diabetic so it took over 6 month for my spine to fuse enough to get off the weight restrictions.

Good luck with your recovery

Glad you’re home OK and healing… hope all goes well.

Did the Dolly, that you stepped on, slip or something? Was it the fault of the Dolly or you? :)

Don’t overdo the healing process… take it as it comes…

You are not going to beleive this but five weeks after I got back home to Michigan I had to have the operation done all over again five weeks later. All the screws and rods the doctor put in my back came lose. So I under went the same operation again, the doctor said he could losen the screws with his fingers. But now the good news this time the Dr. got it right, Thank God for Dr. Mark Moulton. I hope to start wood working again soon. I have missed comming to this sight and all of your great projects.

Hey Bill if you need any help with anything let me know and I will do what I can just PM me. I am not that far away

-- Rick Kruse, Rick's Rustics Handcrafted wood products Grand Rapids, MI

Ouch and ouch.

I guess the Dr should have used a little glue on the screws . . . or possibly a M&T joint to hold everything together.

But seriously . . . glad you are on the mend and back looking at LJ’s.

PS . . . Hope you did not mind the little bit of wwing related humor. No offence intended. :-)
