Hi per834 -
Thanks so much for posting. Really appreciate your taking the time to give back to the forum.

If I recall correctly, your surgeon was Justin Brown at UCSD, right?
I flew down to consult with Dr Brown several months ago and also met with his physical therapist, Carter. I thought both were very impressive.

Was wondering if I could ask you some more specific questions.
I will send you a PM. Hope that you might have time to respond...

thanks again -
