He has had issues with his back for years. In 2008, they went in and repaired a couple of his discs. That surgery did not fix the problem. It actually did him no good at all. He has a degenerative disease, and his discs are pretty much gone. If they go in and repair them again, they say it is like placing a patch on a bald tire. Not so much doing any good. So - they are going in and removing the discs and placing a metal cage around his spine. He will be in the hospital for 3-7 days after surgery. The first two weeks will be hell, and his dr said he will be saying that he wished he never had the surgery. But after those two weeks, he will start to feel better. But he is not allowed to work and his on disability for 6 months, and he will not be fully recovered for atleast a year. So it's going to be rough. Oh, and not that he didn't have enough on his mind as it is, but last night, at her basketball game, his daughter broker her leg. So - if you could, would you please pray for him. It would really mean a great deal to me.
