That happens sometimes, in fact, I recently had a bit surgery myself. This time, however, it's a little different. John has a condition called "muscular dystonia."<br /><br />Stoney <a href="http://www.generosity.org/stoner/wp-trackback.php?p=107">provides the details on his blog</a>, but I did want to make a quick post to say I'm wishing him great success with this surgery. It's a big step, and a very brave one for him to take, but that's just the kind of guy he is. After watching things get a little more difficult and a little more painful each year, I'm happy there is an opportunity for some dramatic improvement.<br /><br />What's very odd, in a synchronistic way, is that while channel surfing a couple weeks ago, I saw a news story regarding a man with some kind of disorder that looked almost like convulsive tourretes who was undergoing a procedure that sounds very similar to what John has planned. As I watched it, I wondered, "Has Stoney heard about this one?" Apparently so.<br /><br />John hasn't had things easy, yet is always there with a smile on his face, and I've never heard him utter a mean word to or about anyone. Perhaps his website, <a href="www.generosity.org">Generosity.org</a>, sums up his character best.<br /><br />Good luck, Stoney! We're all pulling for you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/81449521578991853-6263670278312847155?l=sean-mcnamara.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06107423194407322518noreply@blogger.com0
