Hi Dave,

I just got a report from the doctor during our visit. I wanted to send it to you but not sure how to do it from this site. I was wondering what the doctor did for you in Germany. I have to come to some decision as to what to do. If I want to walk and strand i will have to have the 5-6 level fusion from the T12 to the sternum. I can't believe you are not jumping up and down that you are feeling so much better after your trip to Germany. I am very nervous about the surgery. It is not a life and death situation. I would like to be able to walk and stand without leaning on something. They call this the "shopping cart syndrome." Could you go back to Germany? I know there has to be something they can do for you. It just does not make sense. Well if you want to get back to me you could expound on what the good doctor in Germany did for you. Now I know as well as you do that you are not the first one to receive these kinds of results. It just makes me sick that after spending

so much money you still are not feeling that great. I know that is putting it mildly. Carmen
