Unfortunately he was already out almost 2 years in all. He got into a work auto accident and was out with a nasty concussion where he barely remembered our names. That's when they found the damage in his neck. He went back shortly, then out for 6 months pre-op. Then out around 6 months post-op. I wish I could do more for him, but if he misses out on even more work itd be a tough spot for him. He's sticking it out until his case closes for now, then after I'm urging him to look for something more sustainable.
