[QUOTE="DavidMcmillan, post: 3885150, member: 11749"] Another beautiful morning! I want to ask for some of the OSA prayers, good thoughts, good vibes, or whatever you may feel like doing. We have a young man in our family circle, that is a veteran of 82nd Airborne in Bosnia, and a SWAT team leader with the Phoenix PD. Earlier this summer, his department offered free full body scans for members and their families. The scan revealed a rare tumor on his spine. Slow growing, but in a very delicate, and potentially crippling, position. There are two surgeons in the country with experience in this surgery, NYC and Chicago. He flew to both locations for scans and interviews, and selected the Chicago option. Both docs told him that he would have most of his movements after surgery, but he would no longer be able to run or walk long distances due to nerve functions in his feet and ankles. His career is virtually over. His chain of command is very supportive and he will continue with the SWAT dept in an admin/training function, but in his words yesterday, “It sucks being totally fine and coming back messed up, but I will bounce back. If I’m anything, I’m durable!” He leaves today for Chicago for all the pre-op stuff, and then his wife will join him Tuesday for a ten hour surgery. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
