Mike,sorry to say,I have not kept up with this,and I have not read all the back posts.Though I will say I had my first
fusion,back when I was 17.Doc said if I took care of myself that it may last my lifetime,well,I was young and knew more
than the Doctors,I done just what I wanted to do,NOW I'M SITTING AT HOME,WAITING ON A CHECK,AND HOPING
MY GOVERNMENT DOESN'T GO BELLY UP AND SHUT DOWN.Take care of yourself!!Do what the doctors tell you.I have
read a lot of your posts,and I know you are a lot smarter than I ever was,or at least you use what you have,a little better
than I did.Good to hear the surgery went well.
I will keep you in my prayers,
God bless,Keith
