Really sorry about your misfortune Gary. It's a shame to see Silver Bullet 2 go after all you've put in to it. As to back and neck surgery, I guess it's a mixed bag thing. Many may regret having surgery, but I certainly do not. My C something or other at the base of my neck was messed up in a broadside accident in my 69 Grande in 91. I did not accept a quick settlement and had no health insurance. The at fault insurance co wouldn't pay a dime until the day before we were to go to court when they met my demand for 100k. I had gone almost 3 years severe pain and headaches. I could hardly hold my head up at times. I still have a constant dull pain and some numbness on my left side but having surgery fusing 2 of my discs together relieved the severe pain and weakness in my neck and stopped the headaches. I hope you have a speedy recovery without having to have surgery but sometimes it is the answer.

I am proud to say... Silver Bullet II is now home. Body Shop dropped it off for me on Friday with very special mileage on the odometer. (muwahahahahaha)
On Saturday, I took it for spin, and now I know why the doc said no stick driving... after being in stop and go traffic for 5 minutes My back and neck were in MASSIVE PAIN, so lesson learned, and the determination on whether to keep it, will come after the next appointment with the doc which is in 11 more days, but Yes I paid for it all day yesterday.

If you did an MRI on everyone 5 out of 10 people would have a buldging disk or some kind disk or vertebre issue but it doesn't bother them, what ever you do DO NOT get back surgery man cause that usually ends up with worse problems the rest of your life then just letting it go.

Thanks, but I won't be getting the surgery... it was on the table but things are improving. The spine is stable and the fracture is healing, so all these weeks of a neck brace and being 150% lazy has paid off.
