Great!....Now a little more about me.....Im 44 yrs old ...been married 17 yrs and have a very cool 7 yr old boy.... Ive been self employeed most of my life and have three patents that Im very proud of...one was succesful and the other two are still kinda pending...Takes big bucks to get them going. I recently sold one patent and the company .....then went to work temporarlly for a company and during work I was in a fairly bad car wreck......Thats why I need back surgery....when I recover I want to start another company with one of the other patents.....Originally Im from Southern California and moved out of that rat race to Oklahoma 18 yrs ago. I miss the food in Cali. though.
So luke.....who are the crazy ones around here?.....give me a little idea what Im getting into.....lol...I belong to four other forums but they are all medical and workers comp related. (workers comp is a corrupt system)
TTYL,

My husband needs back surgery and we have been looking at laser surgery as an alternative. It looks promising in that it's all out patient procedure. No cutting of the muscles.
He needs hip replacement as well.

Welcome - I join the others in wishing you luck with your recovery.
Good for you to start out with "Texas Sucks."
Worker's Comp may or may not be corrupt, but it seems like a stupid and inefficient system.
Gotta love a entrepreneur.

MSLGWCEO.....The lazer surgery is good for those who just need some clean out for nerve clearance.....I have no choice as two discs are basically missing (exploded) from a hard impact....but the laser option is good if your a canidate...My surgery is a huge major surgery I wish I could avoid. Dec 1st.
East Coast....trust me its Corrupt! Ive been out of work for nine months with not one red cent from the insurance....its owed and will be paid as the judge ordered it....but how long can you last without income and an injury? I wont get started on that but just want everyone to know its not what you may think it is.
Karried....thank you.
