Title: A Prayer for my Brother
Post by: Flit on June 29, 2005, 01:17:49 AM

Guy's, my little brother is having emergency surgery tomorrow for a herniated disk in his neck. He's totally numb on the left leg and chest and weak on the right leg.
 When the doc saw today he said" I don't know why your here, you should be in the emergency room". I took him there, and after mri/ct scans, they sent him too Fairfax Hospital, in an ambulance.They could'nt believe he was still walking (altho it was barely).
 I appreciate any positive vibes that could be sent that way.
  Thanks

Man, I just seen this. Rest easy buddy, you'll need that strong face for your bro. The fact they could wait for the surgery is always a good sign. Think yellow.

I wish the best, .

Thanks guys.
  No Dred, it's one of my other brothers.
 The Doc's decided that it was'nt a big emergency after all, and the surgery can wait till Monday.
 So I go pick him up, and the first thing he does is take off his cervical collar.
  Keep in mind that he can barely walk .
 I tryed to tell him the possible consequences (ie, Ya wanna be like Christopher Reeves ?)but it does'nt seem to want to sink into his thick skull.
 I mean jeez, he's got a 8mm buldge pushing on his spinal cord and he don't wanna wear his collar 'cause "it's uncomfortable".
 If his neck was'nt so messed up, I think I'd slap him upside the head with a pipe to get his attention.
  Thanks for the thoughts, vibes and prayers, and if you know any "anti stupidity prayers", throw those in also :aok

Update
 He had his surgery on the 6th (wendsday).
 When they took the disk out he sprung a spinal fluid leak , so they had to fix that.He was on the table for 6 hours.
 He got home saturday, and can already move better then when he went in.:)
 He has a ways to go, but it looks like the surgery was a success.
 Thanks for all the prayers and positive vibes,keep them coming, every little bit helps !

Glad to hear he's doing better. I hope he makes a full recovery. Did they fuse the 2 vertebra or use an artificial disk to replace it? Once he heals you are going to talk to him about getting PROMPT medical attention in the future right?
