Hi Rick
Those photographs of your operation are amazing. I hope you won't have to go through any more operations. It is really a credit to your surgeons that they are able to do that for you. Just look at yourself as a restoration job just like we do to our vehicles and that you are back on the road again. Good luck with the rehab and don't overdo it. After seeing what you went through I will never complain about my back problems again. Take care my friend.
Cheers
Tony
