Cyndi's dad

Bennie (Papa) had surgery yesterday and is recovering today. He had what I think of as calcification around his spine near his neck and upper back which was strangling the spinal cord. He was in a lot of pain, couldn't use an arm, and was having difficulty walking. The entire family was at the hospital yesterday, visiting him. Reports are positive on the surgery, though I'm sure he will need lots of rest to recover. Cyndi is hopeful and will be looking for signs of improvement. She looks forward to seeing her dad going on trips again and playing his guitar at church.
