Better get your seatbelts fastened....

It's going to be a long NFL season in the Morgan House....

Offical Release
As previously stated on Monday, Sept. 5th, Peyton Manning has undergone further testing and consultation with several specialists regarding his rehabilitation. The results of these tests and the consensus of the consultations was that further surgery was warranted. Peyton has undergone this surgery today by having a single level anterior fusion. The surgery was un-eventful.
This procedure is performed regularly throughout the country on persons from all walks of life, including professional football players. Two former Colts players had this same procedure last winter and have fully resumed their careers. Rehabilitation from such surgery is typically an involved process. Therefore, there will be no estimation of a return date at this time. We will keep Peyton on the active roster until we have a clearer picture of his recovery process.
Peyton will immediately begin the rehabilitation regimen mapped out by the surgeon. We anticipate no further updates or availabilities beyond those required by the NFL Media Policy for the immediate future.

My hubby is a big Peyton fan and he is so bummed out that Peyton will not be playing for awhile. I bought him tickets to the Bucs - Colts game on Oct. 3rd and now it looks like he won't be able to see him play. Of course, we just hope that Peyton recovers fully before he comes back so he has many more years to play.

I love Peyton Manning - I'm sorry to hear he's had to have surgery. I'm a huge Bronco fan, but Peyton is too fun to watch.
