Thanks. I realized last night I didn't ping you to another article I posted yesterday.

Powell Outlines Progress, Challenges in U.S.-Mexico Relations (Transcript-Mexico City)

speaking of BACK, all the hours I've logged on here using a non-ergonimic chair and bad posture did a number on my cervical spine, which was already in bad shape. I have cervical stenosis, degenerative disk disease, reversed curve (actually I have an xray showing my neck is as straight as a stick!) AND a bulging protruding disk causing major pain and neuropathy. No wonder I've dropped so many dishes in recent years. My neuroligist is saying surgery is not an option, but necessary to stop the advancing nerve damage. I'm very scared about them cutting my throat open to hammer and saw on my spine. I'm seeing a neurosurgeon at Barrows Neuroligical Inst. next month.

Good luck
A few years ago I went down to Costco and found a good inexpensive office chair, makes a big difference and with my improvised ergonomic setup for the mouse and keyboard I don't even get sore wrists now.

I have a friend who is about to undergo spinal surgery, I was lucky that when I fractured a couple of vertebrae in my back that they healed up.

I guess that I was in a hurry skimming over the threads yesterday afternoon and missed seeing your thread.

Again good luck with your surgery if you have to go that route.
