Justin,
I am so happy that you have your site off the ground. I really wish you well with the upcoming surgery and hope that it relieves all the pain you have had. Let us know how you are doing. I will be sure to peek in and post. Phylly

Justin, If your still there, I'll be arriving in Straubing on the 23rd in the late afternoon/early evening and checking into Hotel Thies???? whatever if you'd like to say hi...maybe a glass of some good German beer. I'm sure my husband would LOVE that!
Cheers! Jess

Thank you much!
Thank you Dale, Mark, Gil, Phylly and Jess!
The SPS Forum is just now getting our feet under us--we already have 30 members in about 2 days, so things are off to a great start! Jess, unfortunately my flight leaves on the 23rd! Bummer. I do wish you the very best and if you have any questions or concerns, let me know. This is my 2nd trip to Germany for Surgery (my first trip was in 2003 at 23 years old for a 2-level lumbar ADR). God bless and I will keep everyone posted as my surgery date gets closer! The support of Spine Patients is priceless! www.spinepatientsociety.org Justin (Dr. J)

upcoming surgery
Justin,
I wish you the absolute most incredible best with your upcoming surgery and recovery!!! It's exciting when people move forward with their lives and take that leap of faith or necessary step spinally (which I'm so afraid to take)! Can't wait to hear about the details about the surgery tho of course I will!! You just go and get better
