Last November there was a short article on Bev Nagelkerke's successful surgery to remove a screw from a previous back surgery she had in '08 which was pressing on a nerve and causing pain in her right leg. I guess there was more to it than just one little screw as shown in this picture.
I've heard of athletes bragging about their "hardware" (usually referring to a trophy or medal they've won) but when Bev offers to show you her hardware, she is talking about the real thing. These are the actual screws and other miscellaneous parts taken from her back - the culprit of her leg pain. Bev said there is another set just like this one still in place and, hopefully, will not give her any problems down the road. Amazing!!
Those of us who have returned to Rockport 35 RV Park know that Bev is doing great. Her leg pain is gone and she has returned to most of her previous activities. Although she is not ready to lead the morning stretch group yet, she is taking advantage of the pool to help strengthen her muscles as she continues to heal.
Bev, we are happy your surgery was a success and that you and Marv are back in the park. We so enjoy your company and friendship.
