Yahoo!!! Thanks so much for posting Justin! I've been home all day and checking every hour or two, driving myself crazy. I nearly had an anxiety attack last night with all the deja vu. I'm 10 weeks out since being in Dr. B's incredible care, so it's all a bit fresh in my memory. All my friends and family who prayed for me and sent their magical vibes worked overtime for Mark too.
Now I can sleep tonight. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Friday evening, 8pm in Straubing. It's hard to believe that I'm only about 40 hours post-op. A picture is worth a thousand words... here is the obligatory iced cafe' in the stadtplatz photo. Dr. Zeegers and Branca came by to spend the afternoon. There was much to catch up on.
![]() ![]() It's not all sunshine and roses. Since I'm not opioid tolerant, the meds have been very effective, but it's really effected my bowels. I'm still pretty wiped out so our lunch out early in the day seemed like too much too soon. Later in the afternoon after a good rest, the time out with Zeegers and Branca was much more pleasant. Diane is not having a good time trying to keep me down. I don't sit still very well and really need to be taking it easy. I could not be in better hands... she's great!

Mark,
I'm so glad to see it working out for you. You look fantastic in the shot with Diane. I like the self-responsiblity concept of the hostipal, are you eating the pizza and beer in the recovery room? I hope they did't starve you with boullion soup for 3 days like they do for lumbar at the Alpha Klinik. Has doctor B said anything about the angle of the upper c3-4 plate in the AP view. Probably it's just the way you are. Reminds me of Doreen's lumbar shot. Not that it matters if you feel good, just curious. Awesome, awesome, awesome, Can't wait to see you in Cali, Jim

You look amazing! I am so happy for you. Take it easy, I know that is hard but it will be worth it.

Mark, you look terrific. I knew you wouldn't stay down but you must set the example and practice what you preach!
