Steve developed that too, same discs. He had fusion surgery in April of
2013; it's not a picnic, didn't totally resolve the issue but he's doing
a lot better than he would have been had he not had the surgery. He
probably would have been quite crippled up by it; the last couple of
months before the surgery were bad. When he went in to see the ortho
doctor, he (doctor) wanted to do it the following week but since it
wasn't a VA hospital, he (Steve) had to get prior approval from Tricare.
IIRC, he had his surgery about a month after the initial doctor's
appointment.

Looks good, we'll be getting home at the end of blueberry season in NC
but I should be able to still get some local ones. May try this but also
want to replenish our supply of blueberry jam. I will also do peach
jam/butter this year, not sure what we'll do with the fig crop as we
still have a good supply of fig preserves.

... Always butter up the SYSOP, they taste better that way.
