  • Berta's surgery is tommorow.

    Hi all,

    I was fortunate enough to be able to go meet Berta yesterday.(And her wonderful husband.) She flew from Kona, Hawaii to Oakland, Ca for her surgery. I want you to keep her in your thoughts tomorrow, as I will. She is having A/P. She wasn't sure if L10 is where her Dr. will begin but he will fuse to S1. She will have it all done on the same day. (I know some of you remember her.) She hasn't been on the forum for awhile, she had a lot to do to get ready for her 4 week stay here on the mainland. I'm wishing her a safe and very successful surgery. I know you are too.
