    Hi Jay,

    I must have missed your post. I just wanted to welcome you to the Spine Patient Society. It's great to read that your recovery is going well. Feel free to keep us posted in the Surgical Outcomes Forum so that we can track your progress and you can look back to see just how far you have (and will) come.
