    Default I am in trouble

    I had an accident on Friday, spent two days in the hospital and it is looking like I will need back surgery. Had an MRI,discograph and cat scan on Monday. I am meeting with a surgeon tomorrow. I can not walk to well at all. My concern is water changes. My girlfriend and friends have been helping out so far but it is too much to ask of them to keep up with my 19 tanks. I think my only option is to cut back on tanks until I have recovered. This will hopefully not effect the challenge discus at all. I will crawl on my hands and knees to feed my fish. I am making arrangements to sell off 10 tanks by this weekend I hope all goes well and I can be back to work and life quickly.

    Kenny I am really sorry to hear of this. I hope the prognosis is good. Having back problems is no fun at all.

    It is such a shame that when problems like this happen we end up selling off some or all of our collection, particularly when an awful lot of time and effort has gone into building it up.

    You have my sympathies, just wish there was more I could do.

    Oh man, I'm so sorry to her that Kenny. I hope your recovery is quick and that you can continue to pursue the hobby, or should I say way of life with 19 tanks!

    Get well soon my friend.

    I'm sorry, Kenny. I hope you have as quick of a recovery as possible. If I lived close by I would have loved to come and take care of your tanks while you were recovering. Hopefully you are able to find help or sell the tanks you need to sell in order to take care of everything you need to take care of. Good luck.

    So sorry to hear of your accident. Fingers are crossed for a speedy recovery!

    If I can do anything to help, please let me know. If you need a foster parent for your tank(s) and fishes until you're back on your feet, I'd be glad to help out.

    Best wishes!
