    It was a 6 month return visit but anything but routine given how much has happened with my health since [DATE REMOVED]. Dr. Hagn took as much time with me as we needed to to listen to my version of events and I appreciated being heard. Since [DATE REMOVED] I have found out I have a problem with my limbar fusion loose screws, I fell while hiking broke my rt. clavicle, and later fpound out compression fx of l-1 akso, I got diagnosed with PMR-ploymyalgia rheumatica. I got diagnosed with osteoporosis, I need a revision of my lumbar fusion. That's a lot.
