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

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

Congratulations, Jeff,
You have the most positive attitude; I'll bet it contributes to your recovery. I hope the cold/flu goes away fast and doesn't set you back. Like sahuaro I'm a cervie, and I'm interested in the choice of artificial disc too.

why Mobi-C
Thanks, everyone, for the kind words and support.
I'm sitting in the waiting room at the Alpha Klinik right now; Dr. Zeegers is running tests to check on what's up with my current flu/fever, and I'm also getting followup x-rays. Dr. Zeegers prefers the Mobi-C for several reasons: 1. Superior placement of teeth in endplates for better anchoring and safer insertion. There is no keel (Dr. Zeegers does not think big keels are good for the patient). 2. It is a second generation design that incorporates the best elements of the constrained and unconstrained designs into a better hybrid. 3. Instrumentation designed for implanting the disc makes it possible to acheive optimal placement. More details later.... Jeff
