Hurts my neck just looking up.

How are you doing after back surgery?

I just completed 3 months of cervical traction therapy with the VA. When I graduated, they gave me a device that stretches my neck. I just pump it up and lay still for 20 minutes.

I published another book not about fish or anything to do with this hobby. It's about my time in Vietnam. I didn't decide yet if I will donate the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior project or Tunnels to Towers.

Maybe I will split it, not that it will make much but whatever it does. I don't think it will replace bibles in hotels or anything like that. I just felt like writing and I don't think they teach about the conditions for us soldiers in Vietnam. :)
I went to school in the late 70's-80's and they hardly mentioned anything about Vietnam. Most of what I heard was from my dad. He never talked about it much but when he did it wasn't pretty. I will definitely be watching for your book. And thank you for your service.

Hey Sub, it isn't better yet but it may take 2 months. If it doesn't get better I need another minor surgery because the spinal cord is pinched pretty severly in 3 places. Maybe thats why I can't sing. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Thats one reason I wrote the book. The other reason is that I want to be famous and get a Pulitzer and have my own show on TV called "Dancing With the Veterans". :cool:

I went back to my Supermodel pain Mgt doctor yesterday and it seems there are 3 places on my spinal cord that looks like someone tie wrapped it together so she may have to go in there with some wire cutters and fix it. But if she does, that won't happen until after the Holidays.

I love surgeries, it makes you tingle when you get up from the anesthesia and the cookies and ginger ale they give you is the best. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
