“I ended up in tears every day. Every day. We have horses. I like to ride a lot. When I saw the TOPS device, I could see the difference between that and having a regular fusion. At the moment I woke up, I did not have any pain going down my leg whatsoever. I’m back into riding horses and taking care of the farm when we’re there. You kind of go from like so low, and then like, being high. Because you’re just like, wow. You wake up every day. I’m like, “Look at me. I can get out of bed.” And, you know, I’m not in agony. I can walk to the bathroom and not be crippled while I’m doing it.”
