For me it's not adverse reaction to the idea of surgery. The doctors just

won't do it! That's all I can go by.

Dennis, I pass Tyler on I-20 when I go to Marshall. My son died two years

ago but my Dau-in-law and I stay in touch with one another.

I'm close, too, I guess. I'm near Tyler, TX and it was 105 here today, and

there's no relief coming!

I've been told by surgeons that the procedures done to the lower back cannot

be done to the cervical spine, and that there will be no surgery on me.

That's all I have to go by since I can't see well enough to operate on

myself.

SH155 crosses I-20 north of Tyler. I'm north of there just off 155 in the

Pritchett area. It's on the map but not really a town any more.
