Smyre to have back surgery

Rep. Calvin Smyre will undergo surgery for back problems in Columbus Friday.

The influential Democrat will spend a couple of days at St. Francis Hospital and expects to be recuperating at home for about a week.

Smyre has had knee and back problems for some time, and recently began to experience numbness in his hands and feet. He sought several medical opinions, and decided to have the surgery done by Dr. Thomas Walsh, a spinal specialist at the Hughston Center.

For those who might want to drop him a line, Smyre’s email is calvinsmyre@synovus.com.
