I'm back Jason Christopher: working
September 4th, 2009Hi everyone !
I had spine surgery last week Aug. 26th and have not been able to attend to my blog or anything else for that matter. So if you are wondering what happened to your question this is why it has not been answered. So I am sitting down now to take care of business !
Just to let you all in on a little secret, I am a true metal head lol. In Dec of 2007 I had a 5 level Lumbar Laminectomy and cervical fusion. It totally sucked. The recovery was horrible and very difficult. Check out my x-rays
So here you can see the head of each 1.5 inch long titanium screws. This is looking at the back of my neck. Pretty insane.Within this year and a half the level below my fusion collapsed causing the vertebrae to get pushed in to my spinal cord and totally wore out the disc of cushion. This caused major pain. So they had to go in and move the vertebrae off of the spinal cord, then put in a spacer to separate the two vertebrae. I’m trying to get x-rays of this latest surgery. Anyway that is the bottom line, now let’s get back to work !

Sorry to hear about your recent health issues and I wish you a super speedy recovery.
Just curious if you have any type of health insurance. I can only imagine how much something like that would cost.
Hope you feel better!

Hi Antonio,
I have blue shield that I pay for myself. That’s one of the crappy things about being self employed.

Ya being in business for yourself can be scary and takes balls of steel. I wouldn’t change a thing though. If you put your mind to it and do good work, everything works out.
