I may be missing...

RevSmoke · 08-19-2014, 03:52 PM

... for a while.

I am having disk decompression surgery on my cervical disks 6 & 7 on August 26. Until that day, I am no ceasing all tobacco usage until healing has been accomplished. To assist in the resisting of temptation, I will probably be missing from CA for a bit.

I know the doctor has told me to cease and desist all tobacco usage from this time forth and forevermore, but I am not thinking that will happen. I get cranky when I do not have stress relief, and my wife has even commented that a cigar or pipe seems to take some of my edge off.

So, I may be missing for the next 4-8 weeks. But, I will have you knotheads in my thoughts and prayers.

If you'd like to contact me, I am on facebook - or you can e-mail me: tjerabek(at)frontiernet.net

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Best of luck with the surgery, Todd. I shall be wishing you all the best.

Know also you will be missed until your return.

Good luck Rev. If it's any consolation this would rank as "easier" spine surgery.
Should be a snap.

Prayer said for a quick recovery. A good cigar will be good incentive to heal quickly.
