Default Mark your thread scared the crap out of me!!!!!

Hi Mark

I was happily polishing the same table for the fifth time (as diversional therapy) teying not to think about my revision surgery in 11 days AND THEN..... I READ YOUR POST! Now I am pretty worried. Even though the info was great in explaining the ins and outs of revision surgery, the fact that I am one of the really problematic maverick keeled discs you talked about has got me shaking in my boots!!!! As an RN I know that there are Vascular risks with L5-S1 revision surgery but now I am more aware of why Australian Drs didn't want to take out my keeled disc. The Maverick comes with the largest keel. Lucky me!!
Oh Well gotta look on the bright side, any change is good and as many of ISPINE people know the biggest fear when going in for surgery is not paralysis it is NO CHANGE, then the same crap just keeps going on with no light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep your fingers crossed for me Mark, I may just be a great Maverick revision test-case afterall!
