Sorry to hear about your medical issues Mattingly and I hope your on the road to recovery. I know your pain as I've had 22 surgeries and outside of my hips and liver every other body part has been operated on. only advice I can give you is take one day at a time. were getting up there in age and shit happens. I'll be 70 in December!! I haven't been posting as the board has been empty but I'll start again if you guys start posting again. I haven't seen mess on here in a while but I see him on the giants message board so I know he's alive and kicking
I didn't realize Vic hasn't been here lately.
Holy cow and I thought I was ancient, you're the senior old man. Isn't your birthstone?
I am stuck in here (hospital) until Saturday, and I will be ready, cuz I am not going to a freaking convalescent, no fkng way.
This was surgery number 14 in the last 33 years. I turn 69 in a week and a half.
Until yesterday my last two prior surgeries or September and January of 2022. Both were discectomy fusions to me fusions, 3 on Lumbar and 3 on the cervical spine. I picked up my wife's 15 gallon flower pot full of dirt and flour. But I did I felt and heard a pop, surgeon said it was either this severe herniation blown out, but he said it could have been one of the screws and rods on one of those two prior surgeries.
This should be recovering and hopefully alert by the end of the season. I do plan on coming here, by the first postseason game. And I plan
I plan on posting here then, and I hope to see you here and Ron as well, hopefully Vic too!!
Halloween in 2017 I had renal cell carcinoma. I lost half of a kidney, and I have been cancer free since that surgery (using the DaVinci robotics, what an amazing machine and robot).
Come to realize one should never lose their sense of humor and laughter, it's good for the soul. For instance, being a Halloween Day surgery, the 'OR' nurse was dressed like an angel, and I said to her: "it's a surgeon comes in here just like the grim reaper or Satan I'm getting off this table and running stark ass naked out of here"!! Fortunately he was simply dressed like a surgeon.
