MINOR back fusion surgery?????????? pleeeeeeeeze
Comments
They take the cells out from healthy tissue...and then inject them back into the disc area...
This procedure is not even approved by the FDA so he paid 10's of thousands of dollars
The surgery itself was a spinal fusion and nerve decompression which happend back on July 1st.
So he definitely had both orthopedic shoes and a back brace on for the last month and almost a half (removes the brace briefly for a press shot or interview)...
I guess it's similar to the Bone Morphogenetic Protien that I had injected into the dissovable sponge inside the allograft bone.
So yea..I'm sure they had the absolute best Dr.s..he is doing physical therapy at his pool every day and walking...and said he is doing well now...(Aug 12)..
Gee....now what would he have had to do without any health insurance like myself or others...Wonder if he could answer that question on the presidential trail...How do you think someone pays for this that can't? Sell my home? Car? Just so we could walk???
Arghhh...don't get me started on health care...
