Well, I suppose that many of you may have noticed I've been a little slow to post these last few days. I've been checking I'm, just not sticking around long.
I have had an interesting go of it the last couple of weeks. I have a slipped, herniated, and bulged disc in my l5 and l6 vertebrae. I have tried the physical therapy that they gave me, no help, I tried ice and heat, mild relief, so now on Tuesday I have a consultation with the surgeon.
For the last 5 years or so, I have been struggling with a bad back, stimming I'm sure from a rear ended car wreck I was in about 7 or 8 years ago. As well as working a physical labor job during the same time.
The particular reason I have decided to go to the surgeon is a special simple one, I have been losing feeling in my hands for the last 4-6 weeks. They tingle, almost like they are asleep.
I will be back to normal, well, as normal as can be here about a month or so.
Thanks for the understanding, and for keeping this place awesome while I have been gone. Also, this of you that have access to YouTube page, feel free to upload as often as you would like, until I make a full recovy.
Hope y'all keep having great shaves --OS

Nevermind. Back stuff, I can relate, I have a crushed and now wedge shaped vertebra that doesn't want to stay where it belongs. Hope they get you back to normal ASAP, and if they have to shave anything in the hospital, make 'em use vintage!!!

Thank you to all that have sent well wishes, and prayers. I am in good spirits and at least can sleep decent when and if I take the pain meds. I hate to take them, but it is either that or sleep maybe 1 or 2 hours at a time.
I will have more information regarding the surgery as well as the prognosis once I meet with the specalist.
My first Sargent used to have a saying, and it fits well here, "pain is just weakness leaving the body" so, I have adopted that as my motto. I will update more as I know more. Also, one small perk of being on bed rest, I get to watch all the baseball I want!!! Thanks again guys, I'm truly humbled. -OS
