      G'Day JH,,i have about 7 years on you JH..but i was forced to retire at about 63 65..mainly due to Spinal Surgery fo arthritus..my spine was growing on the inside..leaving not enough room for my spinal cord...so they cut about 2 or 3 inches out of my spine and replaced the gap with 2 metal rods and 6 screws..it does limit my bending a very little bit ..it is very low down the spine..my doctor thinks i might need more surgery by the time i am 80..or not.gotta just wait and see..so does that story sound anything like your problem???????  all the best JH...>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

        Close but yours is a more dramatic story. Mine just hurts and keeps me from standing straight. I had ablation surgery yesterday. They went in with radio waves and burned off all the nerves. I still have arthritis, just can’t feel it. So you shrunk. Can’t reach the tallest shelf for your wife anymore? Or did the rods make you taller. I think between the two of us I got off easier. Take care man!

        i hear ya JH..my wife had nerves burnt off from around her neck..the doctor that done my spine told her he cannot fuse her neck..her bones are already trying to fuse her neck..so he sent her to a bloke who burnt the nerves sticking through the neck bones..so the bones are still rubbing on the nerves but the brain is not hearing about it,,so like you she does not feel the pain...the medical world has come a long way mate...all the best to you and yours JH..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

        I use to be able to Go to work, 8-10-12 hr days, come home hit the field for another 8 hrs or so. Head to the local tavern get a sandwich and couple beers, head home for a couple hrs sleep and do it everyday for a couple months till the crops were off. Not anymore..

          I have to go to bed early so I can wake early to free my chickens. There is no good sleep like the sleep you have after releasing the birds!
