Hey Bob... nice to see you.

Protrusion with large sequester that goes so far from annular tear makes her a poor candidate for Yeung's endoscopic technique. He says that he'd try if we wanted, but his recommendation was to go with microscopic discectomy.

I'll have more answers later to other questions posted on this thread.

Diane takes exception with my dry reporting of the facts... "you are not telling the full story!" Oh well... I'm the only one telling the story so she's either going to have to come and explain what I'm leaving out... or I'll continue to make it up as I go!
