Saw the neurosurgeon this morning. Now scheduled for surgery next Wednesday (the 21st) so I'll likely be offline for at least a little while.
If I've seemed grumpier than usual lately, I apologize to any I may have inadvertently offended. Just been in a lot of pain (herniated disc sitting right on the nerves at L4/L5) and a liitle wired at the prospect of somebody cutting into my back & messing with my spine & nerves. But the time has definitely come. Can't stand the constant pain in the lower back & legs anymore.
Hopefully I'll be able to get back to a life more suited to a 50 year old man than hobbling around work on a cane looking like an drug addled 80 year old.
On the upside, I'll probably be out of work about 8 weeks, so I may actually be able finish the Gemini splashdown & Recovery add-on.
Thanks for tolerating my cantankerous nature of late, and hope to see you all again soon.
