Almost one year ago today I hurt my back at work. Doc said I had a disc then went outta place blah blah...

Went to neurosurgeon. He said lets cut as soon as I met him and was like WTF?! So he backed off and I rehabbed for about 5/6 months. All was going good and one day BAM! No good anymore! Off to DR visit...surgery it is!
4/20/09 Lamenotomy/Discektomy L5/S1 and a month of mainly bed rest/home imprisonment and things were getting good. More rehab and things are looking up!

At the end of september I was released to go back to work! Sooo much happier now. During this whole time I kinda crawled into a hole. It was fun at first not working but then it just sux. Spent a ton of cash, built lots of new toys(rifles) and bought more toys(handguns) and just hung out. Kinda got a little on the depressed side and it just sucked. After the surgery I got wicked weird pains and they put me on nerve medicine which helped but made me miserable!! Got off of that ASAP but pain came back.

Now I am doing much better. Still love my cigars, Cigars still fall out of the cabinet when I open it! LOL and all the desktops and converted ammo cans and the locker at the cigar shop are filled to the brim. The hot florida summer and the pain meds kinda took away the enjoyment of cigars. Now I am back. Cooler weather in FL is starting to be seen on the horizon. The humidors will begin to dwindle once again!

I hope everyone is good. Just wanted to give you guys an update on the last year. I kinda feel outta place not posting here very much. Hopefully that changed. Good peeps on this board.
