Jeff Skinner's back surgery

Post by Gib25 »

Jeff had back surgery at the New Albany Surgical Hospital on Wednesday. He is home and doing well and moving around: slowly but moving around just the same. His wife told me that his Doctor was very happy with the surgery and the prognosis is good if he will follow the prescribed rehab. Thought you would all be interested in how he is doing. I know he checks this sight regularly and he would be glad to hear from you.

Jeff is a first class guy who deserves nothing less than a full and speedy recovery. I hope everything goes well for him and he heals up quickly.

Jeff is a quality family man, educator, coach and broadcaster. I wish him all the best in his recovery.

Jeff is a great person. I had the opportunity to coach with Jeff while he was here at Jackson.

His kids are players... must have got their skills from their mom. LOL!!! Hope things are going well.

Tell Coach Skinner if he is laid up and can't get a hair cut, I'm sure some certain coach will bring his smock and give him a trim.

... every time I DON'T check the forum for awhile "something" healthwise to a "posting type person" has taken place .........

... Coach Skinner, hope all is going well with the "recovery" ... rehab is just that coach - take it easy/ work "into" getting back up to speed - none of that "I feel ok today - so "I" think I can push it a little more" stuff LOL ... go by the doctors time table for your rehab so you have a complete recovery - so you can do "life" again at 100% ...

... wishing you the best from the Land of the Purple ...

Thanks guys. The first part of my rehab requires me to do absolutely nothing in order for the fusion to take. I remember when I was a younger man and used to listen to older male family members complain of back pain, well, I certainly know what they were talking about and then some. Now that the NCAA tourney is nearly over, i will be bored to death for awhile. Anyway, thanks guys, I appreciate the kind thoughts and hope to have enough discipline to have a full recovery over the next 9 months or so.

Coach Skinner ! was making a quick run through of SEOPS topics and saw a post you made - thought I'd run this thread back to the top , see how you were doing with your rehab ... fill us in coach, you staying on the "recommended" rehab schedule? ...

... hope all is going well for you, keep us informed on your progress ... we send our best from here in the Hocking Hills area ...

Hey Pfloyd,

Thanks for asking, things are going pretty well , i have my driving privleges again. Still cannot do much. I am going back to my classroom May 12 so I am very excited about that, for I have really missed it.( and with make up days, i will still have 4 weeks of school left)
Able to get out and watch my kids play baseball and volleyball, which is my total entertainment at this point.
I start physical therapy in a little less than two months, it is maddening as I feel pretty good, but the neurosurgeon assured me that that is the great trap, that in fact very few of these types of surgeries fail, but the recovery often does as patients become impatient. So hopefully I will be swimming again in a couple of months, and then biking after that.
Take care.

Glad to hear things are better than the last time we talked. I was up last Wednesday for the Athens/Marietti softball game but you were not home. I figured you were out to a ball game. Good that you are able to get out.

Enjoy those games while you can. Time will fly by and the kids will be grown. You will miss those games.... unless you decide to start over with another one. :122245

Raiderball,

That my friend has already been taken care of. :)
I occasionally bring up adoption, much to the chagrin of my wife, so I guess I am out of luck.
