Mutiny injured.

With the averge age of the kneeboarder these days this area should be used to post issues on health matters (surfer's ear, knee surgery, stretches, etc).

I just got of the phone with Tom's wife, Jenifer. Tom is going straight into surgery, NOW (9PM) after Dr Dobkin read his CT scan. He will decompress the spinal cord of his herniated cervical discs.The surgeon is the same Doc that fixed Kenny up, so Tom is in very good hands.

I visited Tom just before the scan at 5PM. TomB is tough, has a positive attitude, and is thankful to be alive. . He's lucky Ed and Larry were nearby.

Sending positive vibes and prayers to the entire Backer family. He will be fine.

Shocked to hear about this, Tom! So sudden for you, I'm sure. I join in prayer for your recovery and for all the thoughts you're having about all of this.

Thanks, Ed, for being there for our bro. Underscores the importance of not surfing alone and watching out for one another...

With all the good karma flowing back at you Tom, your recovery should be both swift and certain. You'll be back in the barrel soon enough. Best wishes from the Goldie.
