UPDATE......
I talked with Scott's wife at length last nite and he has come thru the surgery just fine. If all looks well to the doctor today,he will be released to home after lunchtime sometime. He has at least 30 days of a neck support collar and no rides in automobiles for at least the first two weeks pending on how he heals. He told his wife the pain is relieved and the feeling was coming back to his left side. He also wanted FOOD for which the nurses told him,maybe,if his stomach could handle it(Now I know he's feeling well,LOL). I'll be going over tommorrow morning sometime early and will give you one last update. I'll not drive his truck yet as I am not sure he could handle the stress yet... . LOL... ... ... Andy
