Hi Don.

I sent you a reply post on my blog page with my mailing address a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't heard back from you yet. Did you receive it?
In this post I'll tell you a little about what's happening to me right now - mainly my health. I recently had back surgery in June of last year to remove scar tissues from L3,L4 and L5 (the scar tissue killed my nerves from my spine to my left leg muscles, mainly my quadricep muscles). That nerve damage caused my left leg muscles to antrophy alot, my left knee is so weak I have to walk with a cane because my left leg gives out on me a lot.
Five weeks after my back surgery in June I had to have another back surgery because I had a severe infection in my spinal column - which the Doctors said could kill me. So they put a "pick-IV" inside my body to my heart and pumped me with their strongest antibiotics. I was treated for 10 days in the hospital first then sent to a different prison than where I'm at now, with better medical facilities. They kept me there for over 4 weeks in a "Negative Pressure Room", until the infection went away. Then they sent me back up to my present prison.
Unfortunately I now have another problem in my spinal column. In a follow-up "MRI" they found a tumour growing inside my spinal column near L5 and L4 - that tumour wasn't there prior to my intial back surgery. That tumour is narrowing my central nerve canal in my spinal column, I'm in alot of pain right now in my lower back and left knee, every step I take is painful. Even when I sleep I'm in pain. I have a appointment this month to see my "Neuro Surgeon" hopefully he can help me.

Wish me luck.Your friend Matthew.
