Van Quad

It could be that in cases where the vertebrae are stable it's not an issue. My neurosurgeon insisted that I would be stable. Follow-up xrays seemed to confirm the same. The physiatrist is a renowned doc, but terrible bedside manners. I wonder if he was conveying info based on the average. Anyway, would love to know what your surgeon says. Thanks.

Yikes! Nobody mentioned that to me, but I haven't seen the surgeon since the procedure. I will ask him about that, thanks. I start OT on Wednesday.

Was curious about your laminectomy. I had C-3 to C-6 lamy done also. No fusion either. But a physiatrist scared me by insisting I should have had at least one fusion. He says I will become unstable over time. My neurosurgeon said otherwise. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the answer to my question yesterday. I took a peek at your profile - I've met you before. My husband has sailed in Mobility Cup 3 times and we were in Vancouver in 2006.

Doing well! Sailing season started on Sunday and it was the first hot sunny weekend we've had. How are things on the East Coast?

Hi new 'friend', glad to finally 'meet' ya! How's it goin up there in Vancouver?

trinidad and tobago

hi from the sunny caribbean.

I grew up on Mad Magazine. South Florida was a favorite playground of mine back in the day. Fort Lauderdale and the Keys especially. I could never last past June however. Too humid.

Hey there. Thanks for accepting my friend request. I always loved Mad Magazine and Alfred E. Neuman.
