Hello everyone, it's Joe !
As many of you know I was supposed to be undergoing a hip replacement surgery. However I ended up hurting my back and will be getting a severely herniated disc in my spine operated on first. The hip will be postponed for about 3 months.
Medication helped me hide my pain so that I could through office hours and help all the great kids who came in to see me for their brace and exercises but believe me inside I was hurting!
Now that all the kids are braced I will have some time to get the surgery and recover. Here is a photo of the huge herniation - its the black bulge into my spinal canal.

Thank you to everyone in advance for all the well wishes and support of my upcoming surgery which is this morning Wednesday March 14th at 7:30am.
In order to tell everyone about my progress from the start of surgery and so on, add us - PectusServices on Twittter. Nancy will be posting 'TweeTs' of each step of my surgery throughtout the day and again we thank you soooo much in advance for the support, and well wishes.
