My surgery

[Tao of the Dive]

My surgerywent well, I'm sore as hell, walking hurts, sitting hurts laying hurts, so far, I can't find a position that I can stay in for longer than ten minutes. I should have the biopsy results back early this week, and we are hoping it's good news. I'll be sure to pass on to you guys what it is, either way.

I appreciate all of your prayers, thoughts, and/or time spent in meditation. The worst news so far is, the Doc says no heavy activity for at least eight weeks. Now why do scuba tanks and lead weights have to weigh so daggum much:scubadive ...LoL

Anyhow, this ends the 'newsbrief'.

Catch ya'll later.

Tao,
I feel your pain... I'm still recovering from my back surgery (Mar 9th)... so, my prayers are with you.
Make sure you tell your doctor that scuba gear doesn't weigh anything in water... My doc's ARNP is a diver... As soon as I made it through the 6 week point... he said... "Have someone throw your gear in the water and chase it." The water has really helped my back... after I started swimming again... my back brace came off, and I haven't even thought about putting it back on.
Good luck and recover soon....

I hope to be diving with all of you soon as well. Although I don't think I'd feel too good about conning Ken into toting all of my gear, or letting Andy set up my gear (especially my spool or regs).LoL...

So no diving for me until I get a clean bill-o-health from the bonesaw. I haven't dove since the last get together where I attended anyhow, and if I've waited that long, I can wait a while longer. At least I don't have a super long recovery time, there will still be summer left. So has there been any talk about a fall lcoation for the Megadive? Hurricanes notwithstanding?? And on that matter, all of ya'll in Fla are in my prayers. Can ya'll tell the meds are working? He he he...I'm allllll over the place... I better go before i really get out of hand...later ya'll

I wouldn't worry about letting other people carry your gear. I tell my students ahead of time... you want me to teach... you carry my gear. Since the doc gave me the OK to dive (but not carry my gear)... I've been teaching my tail off.
