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!
Message to Diane, get some rope  When are you coming home? All my best, Dale

Hey Mark,
You don't look like you're in pain Just had to say it! Tell Diane I said to get some "4 point restraints" on you! Maybe you best change the diet a bit and veg out plus hit up some laxatives like Senakot S or whatever they have there that's like that plus some Miralax/Polyglycol 3350 or whatever it's called.. The 2 are da bomb for me even on Methadone plus eating the right types of food of course. Pizza is delicious tho stays with me about 3 days to a week.. so nix on that! Anyway looks like you're having a good time and I hope you'll now get some rest. Diane might have to put a choke chain you (somewhere other than your neck) to hold you back from yourself! Really like the photo updates ~ thanks mucho

WOW, Mark. You do look unbelievable for only 40 hours out. Amazing. You take good care of yourself and listen to your sweet, wonderful wife. We're pulling for you all the way. The downloaded x-rays are remarkable.
Slow and easy buddy, Cindylou
