Rich, when I was younger the back would suddenly snap and I'd be just like you were, in bed and not able to get out without help. Then for some reason that went away and was replaced with just a constant nagging that came and went, and when it did decide to get into a really bad mood it'd be a gradual decline until I finally wore down and went to the doc for some anti-inflammatory med. It never has completely debilitated me for longer than a week or so but this one takes the cake. I don't have any disk problems unless it's come on since the last MRI. What I do have is Stenosis, or a narrowing of the spinal column along with a vertebrae or two tipping a little which is very common in people our age. The other problem is a vertebrae that has fractured away and is sliding forward. The various doctors keep asking me if I played football and I tell them no, I don't know how it happened. Three years ago one specialist told me I need long rods and screws, but I didn't like him, so I went to another one and he told me he would never do a stabilization on a person my age because the spine is set in place and won't move anymore. So who do I believe? All I know is it's getting worse so obviously something is moving out of place. My ab muscles are so tight they look like a body builder posing for a picture. If the doc does do some cutting on me I sure as heck hope he does the right thing and after going to two doctors previously who had totally different opinions I don't know what to think. Jim

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
