Pm PawPawgene from Louisiana. His wife had surgery a few weeks back(5 I think). The incision was only 1 inch and they went in and repaired a disc. No pain since the day of the surgery, and she is almost out of her restriction period. Should be back in the boat in the next couple weeks. Way better than the old style surgery.And God bless you both. We will pray for y'all. "D"
