Happy Birthday to my baby!

This ain't your mother's maltese! Its mine!

ok new surgery today:

A probe, with a crab-claw mechanism at the end, is inserted in the disc through an open incision. A piece of bone from the vertebrae is removed so the probe can have access to the nerve.The bulging of the disc will be extracted by the claw. Afterwards, the nerve is tested to make sure its elastic and not being pressed on.
