It's been 16 months since my successful two level ADR surgery by Dr. Ritter-Lang at Stenum Hospital.
Dr. John Burkus of the Hughston Clinic released me completely at the first of March.
I have nearly no lingering issues other than faint pain similar to the pre-operative pain I experienced. This only occurs after heavy exertion and doesn't last longer than a few hours.
I'm able to work the 10 hour days without any discomfort or pain. My energy level is back to where it was before this ordeal began.
I wanted to express my appreciation to all of those that gave me positive advice and encouragement from this forum.
Bob
