I will try the digital camera and see what I get. Interesting that you mentioned the bone density tests. Yes, and after my daily walking, my bones are stronger than a few years ago, even with limited mobility! They are fine.

HOWEVER, during my last surgery, Dr. P mentioned in the operative report that my bones had a greenish tint. The iliac crest where they harvested for the graft, my neck and lumbar. Everywhere he saw bone it was green. He has checked on this and the only other time he has seen this in his career was in a chain smoker from Wyoming. Although I am an x smoker, I haven't smoked for 10 years and in my other 2 surgeries he performed, my bones were of normal color.

Anyone heard of this??? He thought that might be the reason I didn't/haven't fused.
