Robotic Spine Surgery

[newbroom]

We're all puffin for you Nate! Get well! (At least physically) We enjoy the eccentricities, or at least, I do.

Nate, right now it's 10:30 am New York time. You're in surgery, and I'm going to have a pipeful while I send some prayers your way.

 

[newbroom]

Nate, how are you going to deal with recovery? You'll benefit from some physical assistance. You've probably got it all set, but let 'us' know if you need help.

 

[jefff]

I am NOT going to wipe him.
Just want to be clear...

 

[framitz]

Nate you should be in recovery. No dancing for a week. Shel

(Psst ... folks, I've never met Nate, but I've been wishing him well all morning ... )

 

[jvnshr]

Same thing here Ophiuchus, we are all waiting for good news.

Thanks again everyone! The surgery went well and I'm home now... turns out it REALLY hurts

Here's what they removed...

 

[jefff]

How do we know it's you?
Say something sarcastic.

Glad to hear that everything went well, and am amazed to see you're home already! So what's holding you together without all that hardware in you? Hope your pain starts to go away over time, and it's nice to have you back here. :clap:

Damn, it hurts to imagine all that hardware being in your spine. You are a veteran of pain Nate. I'm a dental veteran from a lifetime of accidents and issues. I'm actually happy to have full dentures now.

 

[iamn8]

Jeff, screw you ::
I actually have dental issues as well, 5 implants and LOTS of crowns. Not full dentures... yet sorry to hear about that!

 

[jefff]

Ha!
Welcome back Nate!

 

[iamn8]

Thanks Jeff! Much appreciated!!

 

[prairiedruid]

Good to hear from you! Nice doggy bag the hospital sent home with you. Hoping your pain meds kick in for you.

 

[ophiuchus]

Yikes. I can only imagine you'll eventually feel better with that metal out. Glad you're back.

 

[gtrhtr]

How do we know it's you......classic. Hope you recover soon Nate and then on to your teeth!

 

[newbroom]

Here's hoping that the pain you are feeling is just 'recovery' pain and that the surgery allows you to resume or assume for the first time, a semblance of normalcy.

Can't wait for all the gory details!!

 

[jvnshr]

Wait, nobody asked? Aren't you going to make tampers out of those things Nate?

Hi Nate, I am behind the power curve on this one. I just found this thread today. Glad to hear the surgery went well and hope you have a speedy recovery!
