Hello Cheryl
I've been in touch with the team in Spain as part of my ongoing followup issues and my 3 year anniversary. Yolanda was great as well as kind in every way. So I am curious about your assurance that Olga will be equally good? Can you share what you base this on? Have you dealt with her to any significant degree? Hope things are still well with you. Thanks

Hello Philly Joe
 
I would be pleased to share.
First off, Olga worked closely with Yolanda before Yolanda went on maternity leave. Secondly and most importantly, Dr. Clavel chooses his staff very carefully and selectively. If you trust him, you are able to trust the team. Finally, Olga's follow up has been exceptional, just as Yolanda's has been.
Hope that helps give you some assurance.

Hi Philly Joe,

I'm sorry you are still have issues!

Healing from my surgery has been a complicated and long process although, Dr. Clavel's surgery did get me out of my house and my bed. I'll be forever grateful. My neck was collapsing on itself before the ADR surgery so, any movement could trigger absolute hell and anxiety. Since the surgery, I've had a ton of therapy and am fighting with my insurance company to get some more. Getting muscles to wake up and fire again after years or even months of not doing the work can be challenging. Dealing with fascia restrictions post surgery can also be challenging. However, if we develop new problems or nerve problems then sadly, sometimes surgery is our only option. I don't think that is my case anymore. At least not for now. I am convinced now more than ever that every patient is on their own unique path and that the surgeons can sometimes help and sometimes make is worse. Spines are really complicated! I would still go back to Dr. Clavel if I needed another spine surgery. I know I'm a complex case and there is not a surgeon in the U.S. I would trust with my neck. I'm also so grateful to all the therapists who have helped me since my surgery. No rest for the weary.

I'm three years post-op too now. If you want to chat, you know how to reach me. (I don't accept emails on this ADR site anymore.) Hope you and Cheryl get the answers you need in September. Take care and get well!

Hello Cyn.
I posted some images today. Sorry I have been AWOL. As before, thanks for your help in getting me through this. Like you, it wasn't the walk in the park I thought it would be. 3 levels is more challenging. But I recently had some ulner nerve issues caused by lifting dumbells too heavy for my 63 yo self...and it showed that C7 nerve damage has fully recovered...just like Clavel said it would
