Tough day for my son - off topic

[dunphy11]

That’s terrible news and predicament !
It sounds like he’s a strong hard worker, and tough. Take it from me if he’s determined he will recover fully and be his old self again!
Take it from someone from the same mold. 2 broken backs and a broken neck with 2 cervex inserts ( instead of fusion) and still going at it at 62.
Whatever he does do not let them do any fusions of his vertebrae . I had to fight and had the right doctor. Fusion is just the first step to a straight rod for a spine with no mobility.
Best of luck to him and the whole family. If you need a spinal MD who is second to none I can send you in the right direction. Dr Anthony Salerni is the Dr other Drs go to to have work done on them personally. Prayers!!

Dunphy,
Thank you for your advice and kind words. He is doing well in the mending process. He is looking forward to getting out and about soon.

Glad to hear he is on the mend, and surrounded by good people. He will get there with that recipe.

UPDATE
My son is doing well. Doctor removed the brace and he is clear to go back to light duty work a week from now.

We spent a few hours sitting by my wood stove yesterday and he is excited to go back to work and put an end to the boring times just sitting around at home.

Thanks again for all your kindness and prayers

Work is good for the body and soul. He knows that….probably thanks to Dad.

Good job Dad and Son!
