Surgery

I'm back out of work. 4850 time (that's paid injured status) has run out and I'm now on Temporary Total Disability. This hurts some because I'm the sole bread winner in my home.

C5-6 Cervical Fusion
I'm sitting the pine at home because I had another neck surgery. So now I have 8 screws, 1 plate, 2 rods, 2 bone grafts and 1 metal wire to correct the injury.

For a while I kept saying the cool thing was I have Peyton Manning's neck Dr. Now, he is just my Dr. and I'm done with this pain. Can't wait for it to end.

  1. OUCH!! I had issues before and during academy with my back...fortunately, it was nothing spinal and was a case of irritated muscles but it was a pain-in-the-ass process going from doctor, to chiropractor to doctor again and being on pain meds. I was praying that it wasn't anything that required surgery.

    So does this mean you're done with police work permanently or just until you heal up to be able to get back on the streets?

    Hope you start to get feeling better soon!

  3. Those x-rays of yours make my eyes water and of course it goes without saying that I hope you are feeling a lot better real soon.I just wish there was something I could do for you. Robocop is suppose to be a work of fiction right? Take it easy.

  4. Wooh, that's kinda breath taking! I mean, look at that x-ray of yours! But despite all this you should be proud, this just means that you're doing your police jobs well. I hope you get well soon.
