good deal jim
Dr. Bertagnoli is a great surgeon and best of all a really down to earth person. he preformed my surgery a few months back.
also my roomates. now my roomate was 26 yrs old at 6 weeks after a 2 level hes back to school and done pt and most of all hes painfree. dr b told to expect alot of distraction pain which saddly is here and has been a pain in the a!ss for weeks now.
but is beginning to lighten up yippee. i plan on a work return just under 12 weeks. and today is my last day of avinza {time released morphine}hopefull the withdrawn wont be so bad as my doctor had me reduced to 30mg for the last two weeks. well time will tell 60 to 30mg wasnt any fun. also i wouldnt think twice about dr b doing surgery on me again him and his staff are awesome..
best wishes
chuck
