Well I am less than a week from surgery to most hopefully repair my spine and return full feeling to my hands and relieve the pain in my left shoulder and arm. This sort of thing seems quite frightening. I suppose it is the builder in me that is is most curious about how all of this accomplished. I am the sort that cannot look at a piece of furniture or a box without thinking “Well how is that accomplished?” “What tools and skills are required?”

For those who share this strange curiosity, here is a film and some information as to what I will be going through. I am uncertain as to the recovery time and the limits which may be placed on my activity. Here is a link to an informational video
