Look at how biotechnology can do to mankind. Way back in the 80s, it took 6 weeks to stay in the hospital for this procedure. But now, it is an outpatient procedure. Jimmy was signed in at 8:30am in Dr. Bishop's surgery center. He was rolled in to the operating room at 9:30. Dr. Bishop took 1 of his vertibrates out and replaced it with a cadaver disc. Then he fused them together using titanium screws and rods to hold the spine in position so that there is no longer any motion between them. He was discharged when he was able to stand up and walk to the rest room at 1:30. He started walking after he got home. Thank you for all your prayers. God is good all the time. He will be back in Savannah after 3 weeks.
