[HPforGrownups] Upcoming Convention Alley Registration Deadlines and Shop CA

[Jim Ferer]

No: HPFGUIDX 103469

I'm very sad to say I almost certainly won't make it.

My 5th, 6th, and 7th cervical vertabrae all have blown
discs - driving, typing, and lying down hurts like
hell sometimes, and I've had an MRI and seen the
neurosurgeon.  Whether I have to have surgery or not,
I don't know yet.

I'm very disappointed at it.  It affects my ability to
see the girls, since the 200 mile drive can be rocky. 
The funny thing about nerve impingement is that you
can be in severe pain one minute and almost none a few
minutes later.

Sheryll, I'm so sorry. I want to have some intelligent
HP talk and see my friends, but it certainly doesn't
look good.
