Hanging it Up

Just temporarily, until I heal up from back surgery.  I have long suffered from a back condition known as spondylolisthesis and in the last couple of years there has been additional stenosis and the latest MRI shows a ruptured disk.  The plan is to fuse four vertebrae, L2-S1, and clean up the stenosis and rupture.  This is all supposed to give me some relief.  I'm just praying that it doesn't get any worse.

No, riding doesn't make it worse.  I don't hurt any more

from riding that I do from driving, walking is what tears me up.  Here is a good x-ray of what the apparatus looks like.  I joke that I get a discount if I pick up some stainless screws at True Value on my way to the hospital
