Off to Germany
I guess it's my turn. I'm headed out this afternoon for Stenum. Surgery is scheduled for Friday. I'll let you know how it turns out.

In 2005 pain began getting worse. Diagnosed as DDD in July 2007. Surgery recommended after 6weeks of PT made the pain worse. ADR scheduled for Jan 26, 2009. Rescheduled for August 5! Bryan disc finally FDA approved, and just in time too. Neck was all jacked up and had to be fused unfortunately. |

Bob,
At least you don't have surgery on April 1st. Behave yourself with the nurses. Don't rush to do too much too fast. Kimmers
