3 Years Post-Op - My 2nd "Birthday"

[Poncho]

Blairsara,

Thanks to the ADR surgery, I am not in chronic pain like I was. Some aches and pains especially with weather changes or overdoing it. Thus, I look at you as being strong and driven to succeed and our inspiration.

Fortitudine,

Thank-you for the congrats. I'm looking for ways to help spineys - Just looking for that opportunity. In the meantime, I'll probably work in a management position

Prodisc Sis,

It doesn't seem that long ago that we were discussing your upcoming ADR surgery. Hummmm....SI joint giving you problems? I would have to review some things on it before giving an answer either way. As far as pulling weeds, there are plenty to be had here. They just seem to pop up from nowhere. Exciting plans....not in the near future - but we'll see . I hope that the adoption process goes smoothly for you.

Wow Sue... can it really be that long ago.

I remember when you came from Ohio to my first patient seminar. I could not believe that Bertagnoli was going to be so generous with his time to spend 1/2 day at the seminar (that turned into about 6 hours before he had to run to catch his flight), and to have a private breakfast with you and Don. The sidewalk cafe' (Sugar Shack) in Huntington Beach was a great venue for it!

You are posting now, right after SAS. I remember that I just missed you in Vienna... I left after SAS there in 2004, just before you arrived. It's been an amazing road for so many of us... I wish we could bottle our success and spread it around... AHHHHGGGG I have more to write... but am out of time on my internet connection.... gotta go... more later leaving Straubing for Munich in a few hours... Mark
