C3-4, C5-6, C6-7, T1-2 ProDisc-C Nova ADR blog

Well Mark,

Looks like things are going well for you. I'm very happy that your surgery was successful. I just returned from a trip to Anchorage. I meet with a neurosurgeon who stated that 2 disks were herniated and pressing into the cord. He said that I needed an ADR for C6-C7, and fusion for C7-T1. Oh what fun! Yeah right…..

It's still snowing here and another low is on its way. Send some of your Germany weather my way. You will have to tell me later on what it’s like to have a doctor dig into the throat area. Is it easier than the lumbar? I see you were able to see Dr. Zeegers. If you see him again, please tell him that I said “hello”.

Looks like Diane is taking real good care of you. I’ll keep on praying for both you. Also, it’s great to see you smiling in your photos! By the way, how much taller did you get?

Mark,

I'm so glad you are doing well! I've been thinking about you and your family a lot.

I know you have been telling me about iSpine for awhile but I'm so glad I finally created a profile and learned my way around the site. It took me awhile to find the thread about your surgery but I knew it had to be here somewhere.

For others reading this post I'm one of the clients Mark was going to take to Germany in May. Although I'm sad Mark will not be with me for my 3-level lumbar, I'm very happy he is doing so well.

Thank you Mark for all the descriptions of the recovery and pain management. It will help me (and others I hope) know more about what to expect.

Mark, you look relaxed, pain-free, and not drugged-out post-surgery. Great.

Alaska! Sent you an email; good luck.

Best to all. - Allan
