Thank you so very much for all the data presented today. Doctor Marney, if I may call you by your first name. Your presentation was answers to a great many questions I personally desired to know. And the Q&A was so informative. Finally, Brian, thank you for your time and monitoring. I have been diagnosed with Polio in 1952, six months at WarmSprings, GA, and corrective surgeries in 1961 & 1962, including thirteen surgeries in my lifetime to date. In 2005, an Orthopedic physician corrected C-4 through C-7 borrowing bone from my" bad" hip Following Polio I was diagnosed with a right brain stroke in 2008, gastric surgery with three repairs, And the cardiac stent this year. Having given you a bio-history you can see I have had to advocate for myself and sometimes not do an educated one. So I seek solid double-blinded research and any data found is a relief and frankly soak this information like a sponge. Usually, I am a quiet person and only observe but today this pod hit home. So I am stepping up with plaudits of appreciation.
