Neck Surgery

[Dwight Rudder]

Guys,  I will be out of touch beginning Monday April 31st for about a week to 10 days.  I am going in for neck surgery to correct some bulging discs and bone spurs due to Degenerative Disc Disease.  I have had neck pain since I was in a airplane crash in 1977. For the last 6 weeks my hands and arms have been numb,tingling, and burning.I saw the Neuro Surgeon today and he thought it best that I have it done ASAP, as he knows how active I am .  I go in for further tests on Monday and surgery on Tuesday.  Hopefully out Wednesday or Thursday.  I will be away from traveling for about 4 to 6 weeks.  I will have to try to conduct business on the phone once I am able.  I figure I better go ahead and do this so I will be ready for the ISDTR in OCT.  I am really dreading this as many of you know how needle phobic I am.  So keep me in your thoughts and I will be back soon.
Your Friend,

Best of luck with the surgery. If your operations is anything like my new hip, you'll be better on the down side.

You'll be in my thoughts.

It is good to have friends that care.  Now if I could only get y'all to come hold me down for the injections and tests.  I have a horrible needle phobia.

Dwight,

Good luck with the needles.  You'll be in my prayers.  As a side note, do you remember riding MX at Tennessee State Championship?? Cleveland TN in eary '70s?  It was held in a horse arena, rainded like crazy and was slick'r than greased owl sh..?  On a Rupp?

I rode 2 classes, 100 & 125 on Hodakas.  DNF in 100, got a 3rd in 125 because you lapped me and I happended to be only 2 bikes behind you at the flag.

Get well soon,
