Default Happy 8th Birthday to my ADR
Hi folks,
Well tomorrow the 26th of June it's "happy birthday" to my Charitee ADR.

It's never given me a minutes trouble, and is still going as good as gold.

I'm wishing the same for everyone here, a trouble-free and happy life after their surgery
Very best wishes
Alastair

Default that good feeling re the right doctor
Alastair,
I remember that you were over 60 when you got your Charite as here in the states there was clamor about implanting ADRs in those over 60y.o. (back in the trial days one had to be under 60y.o. I believe).

So a Super Congratuations and Happy Birthday to those wonderful Charites that have given you pain free years now 8 years later and wishing you continued pain free years thanks to your Charites and Dr.Zeegers of course!

thanks for stopping in!
