Fine,fine, fine. Just some DDD at C3-4, C4-5, C5-6 and no stenosis, no cord compression. When asking about disc bulges was told there just minor but not significant. Got the CD but not radiologist's report. Have to get that.

Still the dropping stuff... what's up with that? Is it hormonally related? Is it related to arthritis, muscular loss of strength? Am I losing it????

Mark,
I liked Coufal. I would have had surgery with him at Scripps La Jolla had he offered with ADR and fusion.. got the vibe he is a good surgeon and liked his personality. Was business like but personable and no BS, no smugness, conceit, arrogance or any of the usual one might see in a Neurosurgeon or OSS for that matter (or any surgeon)~ (drawing on my work experience as well as patient experience). Surely not to say all surgeons, OSSs' or Neuros are like that.. but hey, see it or hear about it often enough...

Am interested in knowing more about his PM guy in terms of local group.
