Prayers for a new 4 level cervical patient
Hello everyone,
I just spoke to a young man who posted several times on adrsupport - Pizzaman from New Jersey.
Dr. Bertagnoli will operate on Feb 20th and replace discs at C2-3, 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6.
He is in Turkey now visiting his family. His brother will fly in from London to be with him for the surgery.
He's concerned about getting back to work, owns a small restaurant. Feels like he has to be there AND work, lifting large cans of tomato sauce!! 
He is going to call me when he gets back in the States. I will encourage him to become a member here and let us help him, plus share his experiences.
Thanks, Sandy
