TIP: How to share test results with doctors abroad (or any other document with anyone).

So you have an MRI scan, X-rays, or pictures in a CD. You want to send them to your doctor but your email only handles small files and your doctors inbox might not even receive it.

Instead, use the 'cloud'. Set up an account with Sugarsync, install the software on your computer, and upload the files to the cloud. Right click on the file you uploaded and select 'Get public link'. This will copy a URL and you can now paste it in your email. Tell your doctor to download the file from that URL.

This is how I sent my MRI scans over to Mr. Boeree.

This would also work if you want to share a movie or a large amount of files with anyone else that's far away.

CT-Scan of my M6-L, 2-months Post-op

Image
Boy this is awesome. My brother is dating a girl who's parents own an diagnostics & imaging center in my city. I got the hook up and got the royal treatment is selecting any time of scan I wanted. I told them I wanted plain x-rays of flexion and extension of my M6-L Artificial Disc, but they had no idea what I was talking about so they just put me though a CT-Scan. Right out of the scan they let me sit down and see the results... AMAZING VIEWS OF THE DISC. I got back a CD and compiled 20 images of a 3D scan and plugged them into iMovie on my mac, then to youtube, to create this transitional 3D-view of my M6-L (seen in red in this video): Pause the video at any time to look at the image in more detail. But for a bigger video and more detailed view, go here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD01rBLh_og Those horizontal protrusions coming from the M6-L are just distortions in the imaging.. the titanium is so strong under the x-rays that it distorts the fields around it. You ca...

I'd say i'm 80%-85% there.

My back is feeling stronger and stronger every day. I'd say that remaining 15% can be divided three ways: -5% in core strengthening -5% in nerves healing -5% in my own confidence in doing more things I still haven't gone jogging. I feel like i'm not ready yet, mainly because i've been hiding from exercising for the past 2 months. I promise i'll try in the next month.. i'm joining a gym here in Miami! Nerves are upset sometimes, but most of the time they are wonderful! They usually get upset after a long day of furniture shopping, nothing else. Overall, everything's great! I'm 100% better than pre-op. I've been out drinking and dancing, and the next day is bliss (except for hangovers of course!). I promise i'll get on that treadmill soon! If anyone has any questions, do let me know! I'll answer them ASAP.

Much Needed Update - 6 Years Into the M6-L

Hey guys! Thank you all for all the comments and e-mails. I've tried to respond to everyone; I've even had a few skype calls with prospective patients. You may all be wondering how I'm doing, so here's a quick update: I'm doing GREAT . No issues whatsoever. I've managed to control my facet pain by working on core exercises, with the added extra benefit of having a nice 6-pack, so cheers to looking good naked! As always, I stay away from long runs, squats, jumping, and any impact sports. When my back feels stiff, I do a bit of stretching and move on with my day. A word of warning to prospective patients though: despite me being happy with the surgery, some of you might not be as fit as I am. I'd consider this a warning: you might end up with facet issues. Cheers everyone!
