Viel Glück!
Justin,
I wish you great success with this procedure. I hope it resolves your spine problems and it is the LAST spinal surgery you will ever have. Hang in there, you're in the homestretch.

re your upcoming surgery
Justin,
So glad you posted as I want to keep you in my prayers for a most successful surgery with Dr.B (and I'm so forgetful unless something is right in front of my face or recently mentioned)~ Eventually looking forward to reading all about the surgerical details/technique and so forth and your explanations of all because you do that so well (and I thank you for this in advance and for all past posts/threads with excellent explanations of things). Ok~ best with everything and look forward to your updates at SPS! take good care, Maria
