Hello I wrote in to explain about my Spinal Infection some time back, maybe a couple of months back. I seen there is a message board for patients who have had open heart surgery, I had that too up in Baptist Hospital in Kendall ,Fl.- 7 -years ago. I had my Aortic Valve replaced with an artificial valve--a Bull Valve and additional--8 Colon operation, I'm from Key West, FL. born and raised here and still live here. The only time I was away from Kayo Wueso--or
{Key West} ,was after I graduated from high school in 1960--I joined the US Army until late 1966--came home and began working at the Key West Post Office as a mail man for 41 years--retired and that is when I started with all these horrible illness. I'm still recovering from Spinal Infection----I don't think it will ever heal, Bacteria ate a lot of my Spinal column, my last Colon operation caused this, after developing a Fistula--the infection went into my Spine.
