Hi Mark,
I am glad you and Diane are together and enjoying this fast paced trip, pain free. Especially for Diane considering her recent surgery. Darla and I certainly enjoyed seeing the two of you on Sunday night. Diane looked terrific at 5 weeks post op. I am sure through after dinner you did the dishes. lol
Mark this conference sounds wonderful and incredibly informative. I am glad that not only are you there with Diane, but that she will be a walking and talking recent ADR success. Kudos to both of you. Once again I wish to say thank you for your committment to helping others as an advocate in the spine world. Many people I meet now in sharing my story come up to me and ask spine questions. I am able to refer them to you knowing they will be helped.
Having you at Biola 2 weeks ago was wonderful to add the real perspective of your role as a patient advocate let alone more so as my friend. I truly appreciate what you have given back to others in gaining the knowlwdge it takes and the relationships, well earned, with the world's foremost spine surgeons. Your advice has helped countless people in their search for relief. In spite of oppostion you keep it up!
Now to my ego, how did the book presents go? I am dying to know what Dr. Zeegers, Dr. Regan, Dr. Brau and Dr. Bertagnoli thought of you giving them the Impossible Miracle books. It is so exciting to have you do this! Thanks for offering! Anyway be good, get rest, and tell us more as you can!
God bless you,
Willie
