That's very sobering. Hard to believe Axe is even off the bed yet much less
putting in miles.
On the other hand, hat's off to such superb medical acumen in the day and
age of which we live in.
Stay strong Axe,

SOGAGG,
I know you have all been following Axe's recovery following her back
surgery. I think it's safe to say we can now call her The Bionic Woman.
More than a couple of screws and appliances are now attached to that spine.
After a rough couple of weeks, Axe is well on the way to mending. She
made her monthly follow-up, and Dr. Eastlake is pleased with his work and
her progress to date. That's the good news. The bad news is that she won't
be swinging a golf club for the next several months. If recovery continues
on it's current path, she will start physical therapy in two months. That
spinal hardware includes a new technique: they included some cages that bone
will grow through, resulting in a much stronger structure. It will be a
year or so before they see the result on a CT scan.
She is working hard to recover as quickly as is possible. She's up to
about three miles of walking in a day, multiple short walks. All-in-all,
she is doing great.
Warm Regards,
Rules
