The demand for gold and silver jewellery has improved to 35 to 40 per cent this year as compared to 25 per cent last year. “Cheaper cost of silver than gold lured many consumers. Consumers are not willing to buy gold at these price levels. They are awaiting fall in prices,” said Balvant Badani, president, Rajkot Gold Dealers Association http://www.business-standard.com/in...s/silver/-lining-for-jewellery-buyers/373375/ Along with this post I wanted to let the wonderfull folks here on the forum know that this coming Monday I will be having spinal fusion surgery on several disks in my neck due to a rear end car wreck I had 3 weeks ago. I was hit by a revoked licenced driver on the way to work. This surgery will take me away from work for up to one year. I just wanted to share this info. with you all as I am sure you will miss my posts! (YEA RIGHT). Anyway I will try to post the results of this surgery at the earliest time I am able to do so. I will miss ya all!
Best wishes and prayers to you Yankee. Hopefully you will be up and posting soon. Take my advice for whatever you will, physical therapy works wonders for the long term recovery post op, but it can be long and difficult - hang in there.
I will be having a C4.5 C6.6 ACDF done.( Interesting note) This surgeon will be doing this surgery using a synthetic material not human bone. The material has some kind of powdered bone material in it along with Human adult Stem cells inside it. He has used this procedure on over 400 of his patients with a 99% positive fusion rate success rate even with heavy smokers!.
//// I just thought of something! I wonder since they will also be putting a metal plate and screws in my neck to hold all this new stuff in place if the moderators on the forum here would let me change my handle here on the forum from Yankee to METALNECK? it sounds like a good name to use on a PM forum what do you think?
