    Congrats!

    On both the car and the surgery :cool:

    Not wanting to get into the details, but I also have had spinal surgery and learned a lot from it. If I had to go thru it again, I would have pushed myself harder on rehab recovery. It was a long road.

    Have fun with the car.

    Same here. I have had two Micro Lumber Laminectomies in the past few years. I have degenerative disc at L4, L5, and S1. A few months ago, I had injections in my spine in those areas. Fusion is a last resort for me. In the meanwhile, I enjoy my 2009 MCS.

    Thanks, I've had two laminectomies and doc said if I have any more problems we'd have to discuss the Fusion. :eek6:

    Sounds like we're having the same issues. Doc did S1 this last surgery. How are the injections working for you. I went through all the injections prior to surgery and they didn't help at all.

    Really nice ride.

    I'm still waiting for my MINI to come in. It arrived at Brunswick dock yesterday, so I'm hoping it won't be much longer. Can't wait... :ihih:

    The injections have helped, but they are not the cure-all.

    We picked up Miss Scarlet on Friday and I'm absolutely in love. She's all I expected and more. She had 4 miles on her when we picked her up and now she's got almost 700 miles with most of those riding with her topless. :wink:
    I spent the weekend with my 82 year young mom who just went through several procedures for her heart and I took her for a ride. She let me take this picture of her with the top down but before we could leave the house she had me close her up. She did enjoy the ride and changed her mind about what she thought was a tin can of a car. She loves it.:Thumbsup:
