I had a wonderful afternoon in MN with a dear friend and then the most pleasant evening with these folks...

Front row, right to left, Tim - husband to Sandra (2 ProDisc L 4.5 years) mmglobal (2 Charite's 6.5 years), Michele (3 ProDisc-L w/vertebroplasty 3.5 years), Michele's husband Clinton,

Back row, right to left, Rick - husband to Cindylou (3-level ProDisc, 2 years), Betty (Dr. Stark's office manager), Dr. John Stark



We had a wonderful dinner. Dr. Stark was blown away by the stories of such severe disablity and excellent recovery from us multi-level ADR patients. Sandra and Michele both have best-ever kind of recoveries after long and difficult histories.

I think everyone should dine with their surgeon the night before surgery!

All the best... Mark

Question.. Names are from Right to Left? The people in the picture's right to left? So CL is in the dark jacket? I love pictures, so thanks for posting Mark. It's nice to put a face with the name.



EDIT- This has been clarified for me, Cindylou is in the dark jacket with her hubby in the black shirt. The dr is in the light sport jacket and the office manager is in light green.

Thanks Terry for clearing this up for me; I am such a picture person, I LOVE pictures. I always tell people that I am the only person that really wants to see pictures of your kids, grandkids, pets, whatever. I just love looking at them, I could just stare for hours at pictures.
