Dear Roger Goodell,
.
Thank you for signing the $200.00 reimbursement check for my total left hip replacement of April 29, 2008. Boy, it sure did take a long time but I guess it’s better that nothing. By the way, I’ve had 2 more surgeries since then. On August 11, 2009 I had 4-3½ inch screws along with 4 nuts and 2 bars removed from my spine at L3-4. And on March 4, 2010 I also had a hydrocele repair. I have more out-of-pocket expenses for these surgeries. (Click on the thumbnail to see this big check.)

Well, after a couple of weeks of sifting through files and shuffling paperwork, I assembled a stack of documentation that was almost 5 inches high. All of this should be more than enough to satisfy our friends at the NFLPA for my re-application for disability benefits. Just to make sure that everything was properly documented, I sent the entire package over to Disability Attorney – and good friend – John Hogan for review. I sent the package off by USPS Priority Mail late Wednesday so John should be receiving it either this Friday or Monday early next week. I can only hope that they don’t kick it back once again for providing them too much information (as they actually did once before in a prior application!).
As I prepare for my hip replacement surgery next Tuesday, we’re making plans to continue blogging with my notebook computer from my hospital bed for the next three weeks. We’re still hoping to be able to post pictures from my surgery and from bedside during my recovery.
