The doctors have been wrong before and maybe they're wrong about you returning to work too. Here's sending you best wishes and postive thoughts for a short stay at the hospital.
Keep us posted. We'll be thinking of you.

If anyone would like to send Tommy a card pm me. I'll give you my address and I will take all cards (unopened) to Tommy. It would cheer him up immensely. He thinks of all az'rs as family. Thanks for all your kind words and prayers. I'll be printing all newer post and taking them to him tonite.
Hey Tommy.
Thinking of you today! Maybe someone can bring in their pda to show you some vids we took in Vegas for BCAPL Nationals. Hope that brings a smile to your face and gets your mind off of worries for even 5 minutes.
Hugs from Texas!

Yea !!!! I'm Back !!!!!
Todays my first day back on AZ. Been pretty messed up for a whaile with this MS. Been mostly in the hospital since last April. Had a 14 hour Surgery on my spine and spinal colum. They put all my vertibray in steel cages and my disk, then fused from L-6 down to L-1. Then they reemedout the center of my spinal colum because it had colasped on my nerves in four different places. So when alls said and done I should heve a pretty solid back. The Surgery was May 27th, so its still pretty painfull, not as bad as the MS though. Sure is good to be back on AZ though. I love reading all the things you all have to say
) And thanks to everybody who's written their well

Wow Tommy, sounds like you had a serious make over. I know about the back problems. You now have a bionic back it sounds like.
Good luck and hope you make a speedy recovery. Hope you are able to play a little in the near future.

Man, Tommy, sounds like you've been through the wringer and then some.
Welcome back to AZ. :thumbup:
I hope all of the work you had done proves to be of great benefit to you.
Best,

TommyD1...Speedy recovery, at least enough to get out of the hospital. Doctors don't know much about MS and other things like that (ALS, PD and MD among others). The human brain is capable of healing many things in our body. We'll all be sending you good thoughts! :thumbup:
