My husband is 2 and 1/2 years post-op after a three level lumbar with Dr.B. His quality of life is amazing after 14 years of agony. He is back on his catamaran sailing, we were out on Long Island sound tooling around Fisher's Island in a stiff wind 2 weeks ago. If any of you have sailed before you know the bending, lifting and back strength that requires. It's something he has not been able to do for years and ...

You helped many people, thank you.

Your words above give me the encouragement to send my films to Europe.

You mentioned sailing with your husband; I used to sail.
ADR came on my radar screen when I spoke with Simon, an AlphaKlinik patient
in late Feb 2007. Simon had his two-level, L4-S1 operation 02/02/07.
Simon was ocean racing a small boat ~two months after the surgery.

Hey Slackwater!

Even if you choose a course other than Germany, you will have a top notch eval to work with in making an informed decision.

I have upgraded my signature to give a better picture of the healing, P-R-O-C-E-S-S.....don't be daunted, its realistic for many people and proof that the body has AMAZING healing abilities, we try to encourage people that quick healing is not always the case and to be strong when facing what seems to be insurmountable. (Like the fact we're still friends let alone married!, after so many years of pain that affected every area of our lives and everyone we knew.)

Keep me updated and even PM if you like, sailor!

Hi Anita
Nice to see your still around! I hope your mom's condition has stabilized. I am 3 months out of my 3-level with Dr. B and I feel great. Some days are rough, but I refuse to dwell on the negative as my life has improved so much since surgery. I can't say enough good things about Dr. B and all connected to Pro-Spine. If I do have to have my L1/2 and 2/3 replaced, I refuse to consider any surgeon but Dr. B. Thanks again for your help back in May.
Best regards,
