Gail is having back surgery number 5 on December 2nd. Estimated recovery time on crutches is 2 months.

I will be taking good care of her...

Prayers from St. Louis for a wonderful outcome and speedy, permanently pain free recoyery!

Yee Hah Dwight. Reminds me of taking care of the wife after knee surgery. I feel for both of you.

Tell Gail good luck and hang in there. I hope this is progress toward a healthy goal. Keep us posted on the results and recovery.

Well Rats! Tell her we're thinking of her.

Wow, a fifth surgery. I hope it all turns out well in the end. My wife had one major BS 6 years ago that put her in a wheelchair permanently and now she gets permanent pampering from me .

Our thoughts are with you, Dwight.

Thoughts and prayers from here for a speedy and complete recovery. Here's hoping that this one is the last one and it does the trick.

the last 100 miles are always the longest.
Bski and Dski will be following in spirit in the chase car, carrying coffee, donuts, and prayers

It's in our thoughts

Dwight, I'm in the spine surgery business (implant side). If you ever have any questions and can't get answers, let me know. I hope all goes great today.

Give us an update when you get a chance....

Cody comment: Gail is in our thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and good recovery.

Prayers are going out today.

We'll be thinking of you today Gail, and you too Dwight - I know how difficult it is to wait in a hospital while a loved one is being attended to (all to well in fact).

God's speed Gail.

Surgery got started 1.5 hours late.

Gail is in recovery, finally! Everything went well.

Great to hear.

Great news, Dwight!

Great news. I hope the results are good.

Hey, tell her we blew her a collective kiss.

That is good news, thank you for posting an update Dwight!

I am at the hospital now. Gail is doing great and is currently in physical therapy. Not much laying in bed with back surgerys.

She is coming home tomorrow.

They have really fast Internet access here! I think I'll download a couple movies.

Great news, Dwight!! Thanks for that update!!

That is great news. I know you will be glad to get home.

That's great news. I'm thankful that everything turned out O.K. Now for the long recovery journey.

Thanks to everyone for you prayers and well wishes. Gail is feeling a little better today.

Tell Gail to root for the Steelers in tonight's game. It always makes one feel better.

I feel better already just thinking about Gail rooting for our Steelers.

See, Dwight? It really works.

Take good care of that sweet woman you have there Dwight! We look forward to seeing her pain free next April at the Pond Boss IV Conference!

Prayers and wellness wishes still coming from Fremont, MI.

My brother had a botched spinal chord surgery about 15 years ago.
He is permanently disabled from it. The pain is intense! And even Morphine pills wont knock the edge off of it. His best days are right after the monthly Spinal Tap, that is where they inject Morphine into your spine, Morphine pills dont help much! The pain is quite intense that he cant sleep for days on end until totally exhausted.

He cries quite a bit due to the pain, and I cant do anything about it, except Love Him!

Gail's had her checkup and she is OK to go back to work on February 2nd. She is apprehensive about it because she still has quite a bit of pain when active.

Today is here first day back driving her Durango.

The final assessment on the surgery results in the pain department is still 4 or 5 months away.

Thanks for your support.

Glad to hear the good update, Dwight!

Great news!

Great!

Thanks for the good news, Dwight.

All here hoping for continued improvement and in time a pain free state.

That's good news Dwight!

Glad to hear that Dwight! Hoping for a great recovery!
