Be safe my friend!
You have the number, use it if you need to!

BB-

Read you were retiring but had no idea this was the reason why.  Have a safe trip - it's going to be a long one but sure you will be looking forward to seeing/riding Elvis again!

A fellow I worked with had this same malady as you.  He had a Foraminotomy (enlarging the nerve cavity) at the same time as a Laminectomy (creating more room for the nerve root).  Had to look those names up - was years ago when he had the procedures & I forgot what they are called.  These helped him & remember him also getting several series of shots in his lower back but not sure what those were - steroids I believe.

Good of you to take the time to visit your Mom when she needs you & know you will have fun seeing CVO folks along the way.  I used to suffer from a bad back (hasn't reappeared in a few years) but that is very lightweight compared to what you are dealing with. 

Godspeed, Bro.

BB,

Sorry to hear about the back problems.  My wife has been dealing with back issues since 1990.  Three level fusion in low back and five level fusion in neck.  She had a spinal stimulator implanted in her back on Feb. 15th this year.  So far, it has been great.  She has been able to stop taking pain med that she has been on continuously for the past six years.  She is mentally & emotionally a new person.  She is doing things that she hasn't done in years.

Anyway, if you are running I-40 from Amarillo to Memphis and need a place to spend the night and rest the back, I live about 30 miles east of Oklahoma City and just about seven miles north of I-40.  All the beds in the house are "back-friendly".

Have a safe trip and take your pills.

You think that's bad just picture me in a Prius..... That's the car I have been assigned in the FM's office. I have to back into that thing.

 
Ride Safe,

You and me were not made for cars that small...

Safe travels...

Thanks for the well wishes Bill.

It's a bigger car than you might think. I have all kinds of room. Like I said yesterday, the seating position is like a reclining chair; leaned back, feet extended and elevated resting on the firewall. I'd have turned back and gone home 300 miles into the trip yesterday in my Ranger.

So far and I'm good. I take the pills, drink a lot of water, stop a lot. 609 miles took me 9 hrs today ( ok so I drive fast when I'm not stopped) Gorgeous all morning and up till about 100 miles out of Albuquerque, then rain almost to Amarillo. I had the top down and Ray Charles singing the blues, sun on my face, 70ish

I hope Hoss at the next service area isn't his idea of a stool softener (not that there's anything wrong with that).

    Got into Memphis about 4:30 yesterday MJZ met me at Bumpus H-D at 5 and brought me back to his house. Southern Hospitality almost instantaniously in the form of a Maker's on ice in my hand. JR came by and we went to a local BBQ spot where we met up with ultrafxr and PHAZE. We STS over some fine southern cookin and libations. Pictures were taken (not by me) so they should get posted somewhere. If Memphis had Dago weather I'd be in absolute heaven. It is such a nice area.But I gotta tell you, my body is programmed to an average humidty of about 15% and it's gotta be 90% here. Wanted to buy the new H-D Hydration vest at Bumpus, but all they had was the jacket which of course costs three times as much.
     S'anyway, HogBreath is on his way and we're going ridin soon. Me and Elvis together again Yee Hah  (ask MJZ to post the picture of our reunion LOL)  I'm doing fine. Having had total knee and hip replacements, I know what my tolerance is on taking the meds. Even with my back this messed up, I have no desire to check out just yet, so I pay attention. But thanks for the words of caution.

2lane suggested it in the "Where's naitram" thread ... I think it will become an annual event
