I am at home now after surgery in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. My T-12 Vertebra was broken after being hit by a bull and landing wrong. There was a rod inserted in my back and vertebra's fused together. Doctors say I will be fully recovered in six months. Right now it is a struggle to make 50 yards with a walker. Have a lot of pain from my knees to my ankles. Think it is all to the swelling of the spinal cord. Everyday is a good day and if people know me I will be back quicker then planned. I would like to thank all the people for their concerns and prayers.
 
Sometimes we hit a stumbling block in life for a reason, I just look at it as another challenge.
 
Thanks again to all my fans for all these years,
 
I'll be back!
