[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

        Welcome back.  Haven't seen your name since you left
COLLEGE months ago.  Good to hear from you, and we're just glad
to help.

 LP> After having this done on February 7, it is determined that
 LP> I have a PHASE I-II HERNATION OF THE CERVICAL DISK AT C 5-6.

        Now you know the problem.

 LP> the rest of my life, and he/I are talking about MORPHENE
 LP> BLOCKS, and surgery will be the ultimate last resort.

        Get a second opinion on BOTH of these.  However, my
opinion is I would go for the surgery with a good man and avoid
the drugs.  But, that is a decision you must make for yourself
after a more professional opinion than some joker from east of
the Missippi.
