Davidstein

This is the pack of hardward that was removed from David's spine yesterday. Note the dime as reference for the size. We were shocked that all that was in his back this past year - no wonder it was aggravating him!

David - no longer "Davidstein" - is recuperating... he has a lot of pain, but the bleeding seems to have stopped (yuck!) and he has to rest for at least a week, then also no twisting or high impact activity for 3 months. Let's all hope 3rd time is a charm, and this will be his last back surgery (yes, 3 May surgeries in a row since '07).
