Hi. If I can call you, Thomas, I am so sorry for all the surgeries that you’ve had to go through and endure because of this awful disease. I certainly can feel some of your pain and don’t know whether or not I will ever have to have surgery but I will do whatever I can to avoid it if possible. My thoughts and prayers are with you and other dish, patients and patients with spinal problems in general. I would never ever want anybody to be in pain but I know unfortunately it is part of the process. I can only hope someday that they would find a cure for this disease, but I don’t know if that day will ever come. Best wishes.
