I stayed at the Sheraton Grand but have now moved to my place in Hannover. Zeegers gave me thumbs up to move at the 1 week follow up. I was glad to get out of that hotel. Nothin for long bearded fellas, too many stares. I will be back in munich dec 6 for 4 week follow up. Due to my osteopenia he is VERY interested in the personal follow up as he tried VERY HARD to ensure no subsidence which allready seems to be less of a problem with Activ-L. He used a very careful somewhat unconventinal technique for distracting the disc space very carefully to ensure no fractures tohe endplates. He documented this with a slideshow of flouroscope pictures made into a movie.
No bone cement was used (!).

Now day 9 since surgery I am slowly thawing out and the painlevels are dropping. My feet are still doing all kinds of wierd things but it seems to be improving. I have a light line of pain running down my left leg, before surgery it was my right leg. I hope it goes away. There is NO pain in my back.
