    Best wishes to you both, Judy and Kayde.

    Soon you will join the ranks of us who have been there. Hang in there-is can be tough at first, but it may not be as bad as you imagine it to be. Golfnut and I both had smooth, uneventful recoveries. I have never regretted having the surgery, and my life has already improved leaps and bounds from the days before surgery. I am confident that you will too! We look forward to hearing from you!

      Kayde and Judy,

      I’d like to say the same thing.

      Hang in there and look forward to having a new spine!
