When my doc told me I needed back surgery I had trouble finding any patient to talk to. Due to the privacy laws my surgeon could not connect me with any of his previous patients. It was frustrating. Once I had my surgery, I began keeping a diary with my notes on what to expect, what I needed at the hospital, what mobility tools would have helped, what exercises were most effective and so forth. I just launched this book on Amazon, and I it will be free next weekend (Sunday and Monday - July 9 and July 10). I want to give a shout here so people can bookmark the book at get it for free - I wish I had this information before my surgery! The book name is "Step by Step Back Surgery. A Recovery Guide: What your doctor can’t tell you" by Kady Dash.

"Should have". But it did not happen. I hear exactly the same thing from a number of other people in the reviews posted on my book. I am so glad I was able to help others! The book was #1 Best seller in Physical Impairments category for 30 hours! It felt great! Thank you for taking time to comment!
Lady is your book still available.?marie. Marield65
@marield65 Yes. This forum does not allow posting of links, so you need search for it by name on Amazon. The book name is “Step by Step Back Surgery. A Recovery Guide: What your doctor can’t tell you” by Kady Dash.
@kadydash when this privacy law first came out we nurses and Dr,s where totally against it for the reasons you stated .
Thanks! Will definitely look that up.
@contentandwell . Exactly! Why wouldn't a Dr want to do this for a patient. I love both my Dr's...and would gladly give a reccomendation!! I'm sure only his success stories but still. If ...I guess I really should say when..I end up having back, neck or shoulder surgery I will want reccomendations..something besides just looking up the surgeon on Healthgrades. Good advice. Thank you!!

@kadydash Kady, I guess I understand the privacy issue but I think someone on your doctor's staff should ask patients who have undergone the same thing if they would mind sharing. I know I would be happy to if someone was going through the same issues.
