I had a major health setback that had nothing to do with spinal surgery. i was hospitalized for approximately 33 days tptal from Nov 25th until Jan 12th. it had to do with a tear in the esophagus where i needed a total of 6 pints of blood. . Since January 2025 my back pain has declined. The past few weeks, even more dramatically. This year I've missed almost 2 months total days. In the past couple of weeks 14 days. Right now just living primarily on wife's income. Surgery date will be known in the next week and a half and then approximately 2-3 weeks after , they'll do surgery. A lot going on, a cyst on my spine, a piece of disc broken off, and a lit of other issues causing a lot of pain. Recovery time is not expected to be that long, and I'm stubborn and ready to go back to doing my deliveries. Mostly residential, quite a few businesses but the best part is not only seeing the same customers but their fur babies. Of course anything will help. These next couple of months are going to take its toll financially and physically. Thank you very much.
