If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Great new's! I'm glad that it all went well. It's great that it was found and they were able to do something not so invasive. Makes me want to consider what they could do for my neck. What a relief. It's hard when you live in one state and your kid's are in another.

Pea - they can remove the osteophytes from the neck - cervical osteophytes. Surgery is 'delicate', only ever use a surgeon who has a track record in doing it. Also, the osteophytes 'can' grow back again!
Check it out - scares the bejeez outta me!

pea, that's where mine are. and i'm supposed to talk to surgeons. but as molly said, they can grow back and a delicate area, but oh, if we could get rid of them for a little while, how glorious would that be! anyway, we should compare notes when and if either of us talk with a surgeon  drizzit, let us know how your soon fairs! hope it gives him lots of relief!
