Default Surgery Experience Update

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick update about my surgery. It will be short and sweet, as I am only home 1 day from Barcelona, tired and on a different time zone schedule. Everything went as expected, I am very happy with the outcome. My surgical team was top notch, accommodating, and thorough. My sizing of the M6 disc are accurate and placement is excellent for a rapid recovery. I think that is what's most important. My back feels good and strong. My legs are sore but that's mainly from all the walking I've been doing that I was not able to do before. Once my incision has had time to heal, then I can start with a more aggressive form of Physical therapy and hopefully over the next 3 months continue to improve. I've attached a copy of my new x-rays for all to see, and will keep you guys posted. Thanks for all the well wishes, I am so happy I wouldn't change a thing.
