Been a while since I made a post here.
My life was turned upside down last October when I had unexpected back surgery. If you read some of my old posts it went wrong right from the get go.
I went to a world renowned hospital and had the worst results.
My lifting days are not over but seriously limited. I now walk with a cane. My quads used to be 27" even at 51 years old. Now my left quad is 23" and my right quad is 21"
The surgeon f'ed up nerves in my back at l3\l4\l5 that control movement in my right quad and below the knee into the calf.
Been a real bummer because I was prepping for a senior competition.
SO! I went and had 2nd and 3rd opinions. They agreed the original surgeon caused my problems.
I went to around a half dozen highly rated attorneys. They all wanted the case.
I settled on the guy who is supposed to be the top in these kinds of law suits in Phoenix AZ.
The figure is $4 million for a host of reasons. He says they will settle and we have figure we will take.
Money wont makeup for what I lost but at the very least I'll have some satisfaction. Been a long 11 months.
Just a update.
