Bob,
I am so glad that you had such a WONDERFUL experience! I am so glad that you went with your gut and chose the surgeon who you felt was best for you! I am glad to have a partner-in-healing! Are you 4 days post op? I am 14 days today! So happy to be on the road to recovery and am sure you are too! God Bless, Kathy

I hope things are going well!
Hey Bob,
You're probably traveling back home. I wanted to see how you were feeling. I'm not sure if you've had access to email, etc. I hope you are doing well and I look forward to an update.

I also can't wait to hear how you are doing. I hope and pray you have a great flight home. I'm sure you will be tired from traveling home. Amazing how flying and driving wear you out like they do. I am just exhausted after travel, takes me a a day to recover. Well, have a safe trip and post as soon as you can.

10 Year Update
I'm several months past my 10 year anniversary since having 2 level ADR surgery. All is well!
I still have residual nerve pain from the damage done prior to surgery. It's either abated somewhat or I've gotten used to the discomfort. Normal life has resumed. I'm now semi retired and living near Phoenix. I hope all those that were in the same state of pain and discomfort have found relief. Thanks to all that supported me on my journey. Bob
