    Take care Dennis. Sounds like a tough road ahead still. Thoughts and prayers for full recovery.

      Get well, my friend. At least with this crappy coronavirus going around, perhaps you wouldn't be going many places, so good time to recuperate. Sure sorry to see you have to go through this.

          Dennis,

          Oh no! Sorry you had to have surgery again and still are in the halo. Please stay safe and well. We will keep you in our thoughts.

          In Arizona, this is a good time to keep your quarantine. We went through it here in Massachusetts and as of now, things are a bit better, but the Commonwealth is not terribly open yet.

            My thoughts were more about dealing with a halo during an Arizona summer. Yuck! As a Californian, I think that I have some appreciation for what that is like.

            So to Dennis - Keep cool, keep getting better, and I will keep you in my prayers (smile).

              The status now is good. The image is of some of the titanium hardware in my neck. I'm glad it is not a 'pain in the neck'...

                  No more halo, in a Miami J collar now. Much better. That may come off next week as well.

                      Dennis,

                      I want to wish you the best possible recovery. We all want to put this Annis Horibilus behind us and re engage in our passions. Regards to you and (I am sure) your patient and supportive family.
