Back surgery?

So glad you posted this, Pat. I was going to send you a PM to see how you made out with the consultation. It's good that Dr Patel will do the actual surgery and that you'll know exactly who is doing what. That is the same with Dr Ludwig - UMMC is a teaching hospital and he has others there to observe and possibly assist, but I know that Dr L is the one doing the actual procedure. Makes a big difference to the patient to know just whose hands you are in.

Have you decided to go ahead with it? Keep us posted.

Thanks, Ellie! And I'm glad to know how well your surgery just went.

I'm probably going to go with Dr. Patel. They schedule surgery 2 months out, so that is plenty of time to learn as much as I can.

I asked him if he's done much of this kind of surgery. He said, many times. He kind of made it sound like, piece of cake!
