well my brother in law went throught surgery yesterday.he pulled through it ok so far.hes going to be sore for a while.they had to go in and repair what a dr did a long time ago.they had to replace some pins and rods in his back.he will be done and out for a while now.if you would plz put him and his family in your prayers and thoughts.he will not be able to to at least a year they said.we dont know if he will be ale to go home after his recoop time or what they will be havinghim do.it will be over a year b4 we will be able to see him unless we get to the area hes in,thats not likely with being married to an otr driver.hes been in alot of pain,so im hoping that this procedure helps him out.
