@hausterlitz 3 months to get moving again five months to stiffly get on the ground and do my artwork, by one year it was in the rearview mirror. Except the cervical spine surgery because there were two. I was at the end of my rope and could not function when they wheeled me in for all my surgeries.I would like you to go look at my artwork on the Internet and see the pavement Art I do in the street for the last 13 years, AFTER hip replacements, lumbar fusion and cervical spine fusion.
