Jeff,

You've traveled two long and hard roads and are an inspiriation to those who find themselves in your shoes. I hope your recovery goes smoothly and quickly. I wish you every good fortune.

Dale

Jeff,

Definitely a good sign to see you posting.

This is another example of where I would use the saying "knowledge is power". All too often patients are told by say maybe one or two doctors that there is nothing we can do for you and the patient just accepts it. I am so glad that you didn't and got to the bottom of your symptoms. Persistence pays off.....

Luckily, you had Mark on your side to plan and orchestrate everything to get the odds of success on your side.

Please keep posting and keep us up to date on your progress.

Sy,
Poncho

Default I'm progressing day by day

Greetings!

Over the last few days I have begun to make significant progress.

Had a visit this morning with Dr. Baumbach and he was very pleased with my progress.

Swallowing has returned to normal, headache is gone, and I am able to walk for hours with no problem.

God Bless,
Jeff

Wow Jeff... great news. I hope that you are able to enjoy Munich more than on the last trip!

I don't know if she told you, but as I sat with her after your surgery, I said: "I hope we don't meet here again!"

If we do meet in Munich again, I hope that it doesn't involve surgery for any of us.

Take care... thanks for the update... talk to you soon.

Mark

Jeff,

It's so good to hear how it's progressing for you. Those are big changes for the better. Hope to see you and everyone at a spiney gathering sometime in the not-to-distant future.

Wonderful news, Jeff!

When you are up to answering some questions, could you comment on how/why the choice to go with Mobi-C was made? Thanks!
