Our friend Wendell Reich just got out of surgery in Germany, replaced 5 discs in his neck. The report is the surgery went well, doctors are pleased and he should be home in rehab very soon. Please keep him in your prayers.

What is he doing in Germany? I thought he was a Texican?

I wish Wendell all of the best... makes sense now. I have been communicating with him about an outfitter and his replies have been sporadic. Now I know why! Recuperate quickly mi amigo!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Just got a report, he had a rough first day after surgery, Germans aren't quite as liberal with the pain meds as they are over here. But they said it will get better each day. Still positive about the surgery though.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

Wendell, wishing you a speedy and full recovery. I noticed at the DSC that you were straining to get a look at the raffle girls, undoubtedly that was a contributing factor! Get well!

Truth is, I have mixed feelings about his recovery! Although he's a buddy of mine, he instructed his wife to turn over ALL of his clients to me, should he not pull through. Well, guess that's out the window now. So, here's wishing you a speedy recovery Wendell. Smiler

I had three discs fused in my neck 6 years ago. I sure wish they had the replacement thing figured out here in USA. I've had some issue over the years.

Good luck and remember that these things take time to heal don't rush it.
