Just an update, i just heard from KenR --

he said his back surgery went really well and he is in extreme pain.

all in all good news

Good to hear he is ok and things went well, off to shoot him an email. I guess saying that its just me using a voodoo doll to poke him wouldn't go over as humorous to him eh? ;-)

Yes, me too. I'm off to send him an e-mail as well, but anyone who has an opportunity to speak to him directly, please send him my best.

Thanks for the update, Jesse

Thanks for the update.

I've been in the wrong thread trying to know about Ken.

Thanks to Wordzilla, now I know the great news.

Wonderful news, indeed.

I hope Ken can recover quickly and be chatting with us soon.

I wanted to write an open letter DC to discuss the outcome of my surgery and say thanks.

First, I am still recovering from the surgery, but I am making good progress. While I still have considerable surgical pain, the operation appears to have been extremely successful at stopping the pain I was having prior to surgery. Additionally, I have not lost any sensation or motor functioning. In other words, the operation appears to have been a complete success. Clearly it is early in the process and things may change any time, but I am extremely encouraged thus far.

Second, I wanted to thank DC as a whole. I have received countless messages in a variety of forms wishing me success with the operation, good health, emotional support and numerous other good wishes. I really appreciate all the kindness and support everyone has shown me. It's been an emotionally and physically difficult time and the support and good wishes I received from everyone really helped.

Most sincerely,
Kenneth P. Reeder

So, since the operation was a success, does that mean your head is no longer up your....oh wait, nevermind, that was intended for f0dder ;-)

Good to hear all is well. As always, if you need anything (or your family), don't hesitate to ask.

Ken, I am so glad to hear things are going well.
