This was a non-cancerous tumor. That's the good part. The bad part was that, in it's position and it's growth rate, it could have caused some serious paralysis. Three weeks ago, my fingers were starting to become numb at times and, I gotta tell ya, it feared me bigtime. The doctors said this was a critical time in the proceedure so they doubled up on the radiation and steriods. I got so sick to my stomach until I couldn't eat. This dood came into the room with a friggin' joint. He handed it to me and I said, "What am I supposed to do with this?" He told me to smoke it and I'd eat like a pig. I took a couple of good hits and, even though I didn't get the munchkins, I started singin', "Geaux Tigers!" I gotta lay off that stuff. This is a true story.

Good news Salty, even better news that it was nonmalignant.

No, unfortunately, the treatments did not fix the issue with my blown discs. I guess that's something I'll have to live with. With the amount of damage, the nuerosurgeon has told me that surgery is not a viable option. The pain has not been as bad this past week with the shrinking of the tumor. When I got out of W's bote at Hebert's, that was the worst pain ever. It was because I had agravated the tumor with the wading. I had an MRI done two weeks before and there was no tumor. I have a neurosurgery appointment tomorrow. Might see if i can score a couple more of them left-handed smokes. J/K

maybe it was meant to be that we tweaked it wading in that gumbo mud.

How long? You can't rush perfection. You will definitely be able to say you have one of a kind.

Glad to hear it helps. Hope it lasts a while.

Really glad you are okay. Funny, we had a staff meeting this morning about recognizing drug usage and one of the longest conversations for some reason was the use of medical marijauan (sp)

Hopefuly the tumor does not return.

I can honestly say that it was the first time in my life that I had smoked pot.
