Boy time flies. I am cleared to leave the hospital. We will leave tomorrow to stay in Straubing for a few more days. Busy day today including more checks ups, PT, the friendly staff at the Bogen hospital and a walk the long way to downtown for coffee and cake.

My pain is low if I don't try anything I shouldn't be doing and my symptoms of myleopathy have improved. Still there but no more aggrevating symptoms just more of a back ground. I made it through the walk with warm hands and no numbness and tingles. I think Dr. bertagnoli worked on the right discs and I have much hope there will be more improvment as time goes. Now its time to take a shower and wash the remaining beard!

Sounds good to me. And if you're trekking to downtown Bogan for coffee and cake, you'll love Straubing!

I am so happy for you. Keep up the good, albeit- slow - work.

Hope things are continuing to go well. Just took a look at your film--looks like you've got two characters from Pacman in there!

True re: Pac Man.

Hope you continue to do well fuzzy and let this be your last needed surgery ever.

Is it true you're gonna auction your beard?

My best..

oh boy
I just checked Ebay to see if my wife is auctioning off my beard! She still has the braid and I think she will keep it. It is growing back at a records pace, there already is an itchy half an inch of regrowth. 1 year = 12 inches. I will be good for the next Santa job. The incision is already disappearing.

I am now close to 2 weeks post op. Bandage gone. The pain is primarely muscular, I don't think much is coming from my spine but my neck muscles sure have to readjust. The improvements to my hands are a miracle and my feet have improved but my right foot is stilll full of sensations that come on a little slower once I get up (and speak-shut up!) but responds to rest quicer then before. I have taken the collar off a few times in the house and it feels good. Don't tell the doctors!

NO HEADACHES!!!! and no funny noises in my neck
