Today I read a very sad report on Stefan. As you know he has not played tennis for weeks because of a bad back. He had been trying alternative therapy and was without pain so tried to play tennis again. With in 5 minutes he was in great pain, the worst he had ever had. Now he will be having surgery on a disc and he does not know if he will be able to play tennis again. It must be terrible for him. He said he is scared (nervous) about the surgery. It can be a dangerous operation any time the work on disc's of the spine.

I hope he can recover and if unable to play tennis again, I want to have a happy life.
