Alesa and I have both had our DNA tested for our ancestry. Alesa is Europe West, Scandinavia, Ireland, Italy/Greece and Iberian Peninsula while I am Europe West, Ireland, Italy/Greece and Great Britain. They just started providing areas in the USA where your DNA matches reside.
Trip Log
March 29, 2017
This afternoon we went to 'The Sharon' a high end theater on the Spanish Springs town square which brings in big name and fine arts type entertainment. Today was a reception and a show by Rick Thomas, a well known magician. It was a very entertaining show.
March 26, 2017
Had my Post-op Dr.'s appointment on Wednesday and he was surprised at how well I was doing. Most people come in still in pain and on pain meds. I haven't had any pain for two weeks now. I am cleared to swim, drive and ramp up my activity a bit.
March 22, 2017
Continuing to heal and feeling well. Alesa golfed with our usual Sunday group this week. She will alternate between platform tennis boot camp and golf each week while I am on the DL.
March 17, 2017
Have been pretty much pain free since Sunday, just uncomfortable and cautious. Have been walking around the neighborhood and spent yesterday afternoon shopping. Things are going very well and are pretty much back to normal except for no bending, twisting or lifting for the next 10 weeks.
March 12, 2017
Went in on Monday at 6 for surgery in Gainesville, an L4-5 Laminectomy with fusion. It went well and I was in my room by noon (I think). Craig and Paul & Carol waited with Alesa but Paul and Carol left before I got to my room. I was in no pain and walking around all afternoon.
March 5, 2017
Still golfing every day this week except for Wednesday when we went to Gainesville for my Pre-op visit at the doctors and the hospital. At the doctors they reviewed what they were going to do and built me a back brace.
February 27, 2017
My surgery is scheduled for Monday and that will put me on the DL for about 12 weeks so we have been golfing every day. Back is hurting but golf is still fun.
February 23, 2017
Alesa played platform and we golfed on Monday, yesterday was a rainy day and today we were headed to lunch with Ed and Ann Dawson but the dentist started a crown on Ed this morning and they canceled so we decided to head down to the Premium outlets and the new Costco by Craig.
February 20, 2017
Alesa is 100% back and has been playing platform. We golfed our usual Sunday morning round and played pickleball with Craig and Janet. I had an appointment with a Neurosurgeon in Gainesville on Wednesday and have scheduled an L4-5 Laminectomy and fusion for March 6th.
