Great news, Good news, Great news, and Bad news

Went to see Dr. Hill today. He did the surgery on my back..... in order!!!

The fusion of L3, L4, and L5 was successful and is completely healed - that is great news....

I do not have to ware my brace unless I want to or need to.... good news...

I can start taking my arthritis medicine..... great news.....

Dr. Hill is leaving Johnson City and moving to Paducah, KY in July..... bad news.....

So as a final gesture... he took a picture of me so I could post it on my blog.....

Enjoy!!!!






















In case you need help, that is my incision from the surgery... that is his finger holding down my pants so the whole scar is visible!!!

and.... I get to go to PT for a few weeks!!!! yeehaaa

Cheers, John

Hi John,
I am so pleased to hear all your good news. I was also sorry to hear that your Doctor is leaving town, but, at least he fixed your back before leaving.
