Good for him.
Out of curiosity, what kind if surgery do they do for MS? I didn’t realize it was a surgical disease?
Neil looks great!
You can’t even tell he had any type of surgery at all.
She’s doing OK, thanks. I used to eat Ho Hos like popcorn, but that was ten sizes ago. Gee I dunno, sorry.
Yoo Hoos?
I can’t remember what kind of surgery it is.
I think it’s a new thing.
I googled MS Surgery
Geeez, I’m tickled that Neil is back.
Especially with Brit retiring after the first of the year.. we need Neil!
It is great to see Neil back! I really admire him.
Hey there, with so much going on, we need Neil to keep it straight.
Back it time for all the major news
Neil has had cancer in the past and has had MS for some time.

Yes, God Bless Neil!
So glad Neil is back! I would check every Monday to see if he was on.
Missed you, Neil!
I didn’t know his condition. I agree with your prayer.
[(whispers) and less of Dagan McDowell. Yikes, I am weary of her tax the bejeepers out of the oil companies not understanding that she can’t find enough money to dig the poor out of the humungous crater she wants to dig].
Hmmm...did he say what kind of surgery? I have MS and I didn’t know there was any surgery options for MS.
That’s what I just asked in a previous post, I have MS and didn’t know there were surgical options.
Found this on webmd
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have severe tremor (shakiness) affecting movement may be helped by surgery. People with severe spasticity (muscle stiffness) may be helped by insertion of a spinal pump to deliver medications when oral medications fail.
Surgery Choices
Surgery options include:
Deep brain stimulation for tremor. Severe and disabling tremor that occurs with the slightest movement of the limbs may be helped by an implanted device that stimulates an area of the brain. A neurological surgeon performs the surgery to implant the device.
Implantation of a drug catheter or pump, for spasticity. People who have severe pain or spasticity may benefit from having a catheter or pump placed in the lower spinal area to deliver a constant flow of medication, such as baclofen (Lioresal).
Prayers for your wife, tumblindice.
