Sorry to be off the subject but wanted to keep you guys updated. met with surgeon today who basically said i have six options. #1 do nothing
# 2 pain killers
# 3 surgery , thru the back 50% chance of good results. need to decide quick before more permenant nerve damge is done ( 6 months at the longest)
#4 physical theraphy (tried it two months NG
# 5 accupunture (have done 6 rounds doctor of accupunture says probaly wont work)
# 6 chiropractor (with steosis fromartritis he wont touch it as the Canal is narrowed, he feels it may damage it more)

It leaves me with two reel options pain killer or surgery . My feeling is that I will take pain killers for 6 months , look for other therapys during time and then do srgery after buying some time. My adoption will be complete by then. ( I am concerned that surgery could jepordise the final adoption (we are just ewaiting visa) I am not worried as the managers I have working for me I can take a lot of time off and stil make enough to support my family (well).

I can still use your prayers as even the doc is surprised with the anounnt of degeneration in the last set of exrays)

thanks for youe prayers . I feel I have a very real connction to you guys and this group is a powerfull network that shares laughs, crys rtc. I am a very " cold person sometimes but I feel closer to you guys then my own family. I would almost say I love you a a brother > I may add that I have a wife that is unbeliveable and 4 great kids
