your surgery
Hey Mark,
I couldn't sleep last night and realized that you guys are a day ahead of us here so wasn't sure if your surgery was Tuesday USA or Tuesday Germany.. ok so we know that the drugs really get hold of my mind! Truthfully I was just wondering how ya doin'??? I'm glad to see that you posted and of course as you know the spine community is rooting for you and all the other good things we'd be doing in wishing you well with your surgery. Your experience and knowledge is what gives me hope for my future and your own personal surgical endeavors are what really allow me to trust you/your thoughts/opinions/recommendations. Rock on Mark and have an excellent surgery/recovery

Mark, Was thinking about you last night before I went to sleep (knowing that Straubing is about 6 hrs ahead of me) and imagining your thoughts while being prepared for surgery. It's Tuesday evening in Germany, know you made it through with flying colors. Can't wait to get the good news. Sandy

Mark,
You were/are in our thoughts all day yesterday and again today. Don't know when your surgery was scheduled but you're probably already on your way to recovery. I know you'll post when you can. Know we're all thinking of you and sending all we can from the States. Dale

Thinking about you Mark, and hoping to hear an update as soon as you or Diane are able (thinking it will likely be Diane). You are in great hands, with the best care possible. Hope everything went well, and that you are well on your way to recovery.
And I also want to thank you for taking the time to talk with me, before heading off to Germany. It really eased my mind. Wishing for the best outcome for you!!

Drag your butt out of bed, to the computer and post already, our sanity depends on it! Ok, so maybe don't really do that; but we all can't wait to hear how it all went. You are on your way to being pain free again.
Glod Bless, Kathy

UPDATE: Mark is doing great!
Mark is doing great! He's in the ICU as planned and he's still pretty groggy. He said it's hard to tell which way is up now
, but all seems to be well so far!This is GREAT news indeed! I hope this eases everyone's mind.
