That is great news. I hope Lorna's recovery continues apace. That smile says a lot about how she is doing.

I am wondering what was wrong with the MAverick disc. Was it improperly implanted? Or just bad luck that it touched a nerve???

That smile says a lot. I so wish her well and hope her pain issues have finally been resolved. As for the others, well, let's hope they're transient and will disappear without much fanfare.

Lorna,
I'm wondering what you were going to say? You do look happy in the photo w/Mark. In fact you look so happy you look like any other happy non spiney person roaming the streets~
Take care and looking forward to reading more about your 7 plus weeks in Germany! Hope the recovery is going smoothly now~ Maria

I still need to get Lorna to fill in the details, but surgery #x was the Maverick explantation and fusion 6 weeks ago. Surgery #x plus some more was yesterday. Lorna had a single-level Mobi-C implanted and here is what she looked like at about 12 hours post-op.

What's remarkable about this picture is that it's after 11pm and Dr. Baumbach has come over for a check of her neuro status. (Actually, I think he came for a hug and to see Lorna's incredible smile... the neuro check is just a ruse.)

This is an amazing case and I can't wait to see what Lorna writes and to watch the discussion unfold.

My client is recovering well from his surgery. I'm at the end of of a grueling month and look forward to being able to post more.

See y'all soon,

Mark
