Worked studied/graduated Airframe & powerplant licence. diagnosed 99 degenerative tisue disease. Broke my neck on seven peaks in 2000 had a fusion c5-6, 6-7 and anterior titanium plate and 6 screws. in Dec 2005 tore 3 discs to class 5 tears in low back while buckling my daughters stroller went to germany to have artificial discs put in 1 popped ou 3 days later nicking 2 anterior arteries and a bowel. arteries got fixed but bowel absessed almost killing me 3 months later w/ no warning signs. I was in hopital over a week and at home on IV antibiotics for 16 additional weeks. I recoverd was hit by drunk driver 3 months later, (he ran Mesa PD thought it not worth their precious time to investigate a felony hit and run) I have been mostly crippled ever since. I discoverd advanced arthritis this past Dec. after 20 years of knee problems had to have right knee totally replace at age 38 on feb 4 2009 left to follow as soon as surgeon gets his way knee seized up with fibroids had to have it physically manipulated Apri 28, & 29
**Update had manipulation done fell a few days after and really screwed up my back the physical therapists have been unable to do much work on my knee because of the pain it causes my back. I met with the doc there is no more he can do surgically and will probably not do the left leg now because the therapists can get the range of motion needed out of the right knee. Thanks to my insurance who won't let them work on my back at the same time as my knee (one body part at a time only) I have about 2 1/2 weeks of visits left for the year they may get me to 80-85 degrees of bend before it locks up for good. his best advice, "keep your pain scripts filled on time and make sure you have a least a day to get by incase they have a problem filling it. sorry i couldnt do more for you nice to meet you best of luck to you"
would have been awesome to come to the reunion a feind of mine from up that way is getting married the same time but with the pain as it is now and the amount that it will soon rise too, looks like im stuck down here till i die with my luck thought that will be a long time so i ll just have to get really used to the heat.
keep rockin' class of 89 Mike the camera geek signing off hope you all have had better luck and wish you all much better luck than i've been stuck with and "party on dudes!!!" adios amigos.
